INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams were all but out of playmakers in the second half of the Super Bowl. 

They still had Cooper Kupp, and they still had Matthew Stafford. They were enough to win a championship. 

Los Angeles' 23-20 victory was a remarkable story of perseverance through injury setbacks that would have crushed most teams — including the Rams, if not for one final scoring drive catalyzed by Kupp and Stafford. 

The Rams played the fourth quarter of their home Super Bowl with rookies Ben Skowronek and Brycen Hopkins logging significant playing time. That's because Odell Beckham Jr. went down with a knee injury in the second quarter, leaving the Rams to finish their final game without four of their top six pass-catchers.

The senior outfielder didn't even need to slide, crossing home plate standing up to put the Tigers up 6-2.

HAYS, Kan. – Fort Hays State improved to 18-4 overall and 13-4 in the MIAA with a 66-57 win over Northeastern State on Saturday at Gross Memorial Coliseum. The Tigers led all the way from the first basket of the game and pick up a regular season sweep of the RiverHawks for the second-straight year. Northeastern State moved back to level overall at 12-12, and 7-11 in the MIAA. The Tigers opened the game on a 12-2 run to quickly build a double-figure lead. They led by as many as 12 in the first half five times before taking a 30-23 lead into halftime.

Northeastern State threatened the lead early on by opening the second half on a 5-0 burst, part of a 10-0 run going back to the end of the first half. However, a&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6462">Bjarni Jonsson</a>&nbsp;3-point field goal in the left corner triggered the second-half scoring for the Tigers and they worked the lead back out to 10 with 10-2 run. NSU made one more push to get the lead down to four with 9:23 to play, but a 16-5 run by the Tigers put the game out of reach and extended the lead to 15 with 3:07 to play. That turned out to be the largest lead of the game for FHSU.

FHSU shot 40 percent overall, while limiting NSU to just 36.7 percent. The difference in score was attributed to free throws as the Tigers hit 10 more than the RiverHawks. The Tigers held yet another opponent inside of 60 points, accomplishing that feat 16 out of 22 games this season. The Tigers continue to own the second-best scoring defense in the nation, allowing just 58.7 points per game. <a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6470">Nyjee Wright</a>&nbsp;led the Tigers with 14 points, hitting a pair of 3-point field goals and going a perfect 6-of-6 at the free-throw line.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6468">Jared Vitztum</a>&nbsp;led the Tigers in rebounds with seven and added 12 points.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6460">Kaleb Hammeke</a>&nbsp;(11) and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6466">Gabe Pieschl</a>&nbsp;(10) each reached double figures in scoring. The 10 points tied Pieschl's career high. Rashad Perkins led the RiverHawks with 17 points, while Christian Cook added 16.

The Tigers prepare for their third home game in five days on Monday when Lincoln University comes to town for a make-up contest. Lincoln had issues with COVID-19 back on January 8, when the game was originally supposed to be played. Tipoff will be at 5 pm inside of Gross Memorial Coliseum.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Markquis Nowell scored five of his 16 points in overtime and Kansas State rallied from a 15-point second-half deficit to beat Iowa State 75-69 on Saturday.

Nowell made three 3-pointers and had six assists. Nijel Pack made four 3-pointers and scored 19 points. Mark Smith added 15 points and nine rebounds and Ismael Massoud scored 11 points for the Wildcats (13-11, 5-7 Big 12).

Izaiah Brockington scored 27 points with seven rebounds to lead the Cyclones (16-,9 3-9), who have lost four straight. Washington State transfer Aljaz Kunc made his first start for Iowa State and made five 3-pointers, scoring 16 of his 19 points in the first half.

Nowell, who had a 3-pointer blocked at the end of regulation, tied the game with 2:13 left in overtime to kick off a 9-0 run that included a 3 by the Little Rock transfer. Brockington hit a 3-pointer with 18 seconds left to get the Cyclones back within four, but Massoud capped the win with a dunk.

A Brockington 3-pointer to open the second half extended Iowa State’s lead to 15. Kansas State made a couple of runs to cut the deficit to single digits before taking its first lead at 60-58 on a 12-0 burst capped by a Moussoud bucket with four minutes to go.

It was 63-all after Pack hit a 3-pointer with 2:26 left. Those were the final points scored in regulation.

Kunc hit a trio of 3-pointers in a game-opening 13-0 Iowa State run. Five straight 3-pointers by the Wildcats with two apiece from Nowell and Pack, brought them back to within four with five minutes left in the half.

Northeastern State (5-19, 3-15 MIAA) tied things up at 10-10 halfway through the first period before a trio of 3-pointers from&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6437">Jaden Hobbs</a>&nbsp;propelled&nbsp;the Tigers to a 13-3 run. The RiverHawks kept things close in the second quarter, trailing by as few as seven before going into the locker room behind by eight, 43-35. The Tigers began to pull away in the second half after ratcheting things up on defense. NSU hit 44.8 percent from the floor before halftime, but managed a shooting effort of just 31.8 percent after the break. An 11-2 run over the heart of the quarter pushed the Tiger lead to double figures for good.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6443">Katie Wagner</a>&nbsp;opened the run with a jumper before&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6439">Whitney Randall</a>&nbsp;dropped in a layup.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Jalen Wilson scored a game-high 22 points andNo. 8 Kansas held off stubborn Oklahoma 71-69 on Saturday.

Kansas used a 15-2 run late in the game to come back from a deficit and take the game’s largest lead. The Sooners trimmed it to 70-69 before Wilson hit a free throw. Jordan Goldwire’s jumper in the final seconds caromed away.

Kansas (20-4, 9-2 Big 12) also got 18 points from Christian Braun and 11 from Ochai Agbaji.

Oklahoma (14-11, 4-8) was led by Goldwire with 20 points and Tanner Groves with 19 points. Elijah Harless added 12 and Jalen Hill had 10.

Neither team got much production from its bench. Oklahoma had eight bench points, while Kansas had just three.

Kansas finally got hot in the second half. A 6-0 run capped by a David McCormack baseline hook at 14:23 gave the Jayhawks a 46-45 edge, their first lead since 11-9. Oklahoma pulled away again by five points, but Zach Clemence hit a 3-pointer with 7:01 left to give Kansas the lead. Those were the only points off the Kansas bench.

Braun’s basket moments later gave Kansas a three-point lead. Agbaji hit the front end of a one-and-one and Braun hit a layup late in the shot clock, capping an 11-0 run and giving the Jayhawks their largest lead at 63-57 with 3:50 left. Oklahoma went nearly 7 minutes without scoring.

Kansas was intent early on getting the ball into the low post. McCormack, who touched the ball on each of the team’s first six possessions, responded by scoring seven of the team’s first nine points.

Oklahoma responded by hitting 11 of 16 to build a 24-16 lead at the under-8 media timeout. The Sooners finished the first half shooting 53.8% (14-of-26) and went into the locker room leading 34-31.

OZARK, Mo - The Fort Hays State baseball team dropped both ends of a doubleheader Friday against Drury, 10-4 and 13-0. The Tigers (0-6) kept pace with the Panthers in the hit category in the opener, but five home runs propelled the home team to a victory before Drury used 19 hits to grab the win in game two. <a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6620">Jenner Kehe</a>&nbsp;reached base seven times on the day, including three hits and four walks.

⚾ Panthers take Friday doubleheader from FHSU

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – Fort Hays State Softball fell twice on Friday at Tom Heath Field in Oklahoma City. FHSU fell 14-9 to Southern Nazarene in their first contest before No. 15 ranked Oklahoma Christian claimed a 9-1 victory over the Tigers on its home turf. Southern Nazarene 14, Fort Hays State 9 The Tigers fell in a 5-0 hole right away and never could catch up to the Crimson Storm. Even though the Tigers scored in every inning but the seventh, the Crimson Storm had three innings in which they scored three or more runs. FHSU held SNU scoreless in two of the seven innings. Four of the five runs Southern Nazarene scored in the first inning were unearned, caused by an early Tiger error.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6339">Sara Breckbill</a>&nbsp;was able to get one of the runs back in the bottom half of the inning on an RBI single. The Crimson Storm tacked on three more runs in the second to take an 8-1 lead, but the Tigers kept chipping away and scored twice in the second on a 2-RBI single by&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6344">Sarah Tiffany</a>. The Tigers kept charging back into the game in the third when they scored three. A pair of doubles by&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6355">Madison Pierce</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6635">Regan Curry</a>&nbsp;and a single by&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6340">Elise Capra</a>&nbsp;set up a bases loaded situation for the Tigers. SNU helped the Tiger cause by allowing one run to score on a passed ball and another on a wild pitch. Later in the inning,&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6342">Jessica Espinoza</a>&nbsp;knocked home a run with an RBI groundout. FHSU trailed by just two, 8-6, going into the fourth. The teams traded runs in the fourth. Capra generated the Tiger run in the frame with an RBI single, making the score 9-7. The Tigers looked to have the momentum to potentially charge back to even with the Crimson Storm, but three RBI singles (one a 2-RBI single) in the top of the fifth spoiled the Tiger climb and added four more runs to the SNU side. Tiffany provided a sacrifice fly RBI in the bottom of the fifth to get one of the four runs back, but SNU had its lead back to five with two innings to go. The teams traded runs once more in the sixth, the Tigers' run coming on&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6355">Madison Pierce's</a>&nbsp;first collegiate home run. That would make the final tally of 14-9 in favor of SNU. <a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6351">Morgan Schmidt</a>&nbsp;took the loss in the circle for the Tigers, even though half of her eight runs allowed were earned. She struck out three in 1.2 innings of work.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6353">Erika Flynn</a>&nbsp;allowed five runs (four earned) in 2.2 innings of action and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6352">Savanah Egger</a>&nbsp;allowed one (no earned) in 2.2 innings. Hannah Sattler picked up the win in relief for SNU since starter Jennifer Romero came up an out short of qualifying for the win.

<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/index.aspx">FHSU Athletics</a>OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – Fort Hays State Softball fell twice on Friday at Tom Heath Field in Oklahoma City. FHSU fell 14-9 to Southern Nazarene in their first contest before No. 15 ranked Oklahoma Christian claimed a 9-1 victory over the Tigers on its home turf. Southern Nazarene 14, Fort Hays State 9 The Tigers fell in a 5-0 hole right away and never could catch up to the Crimson Storm. Even though the Tigers scored in every inning but the seventh, the Crimson Storm had three innings in which they scored three or more runs. FHSU held SNU scoreless in two of the seven innings. Four of the five runs Southern Nazarene scored in the first inning were unearned, caused by an early Tiger error.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6339">Sara Breckbill</a>&nbsp;was able to get one of the runs back in the bottom half of the inning on an RBI single. The Crimson Storm tacked on three more runs in the second to take an 8-1 lead, but the Tigers kept chipping away and scored twice in the second on a 2-RBI single by&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6344">Sarah Tiffany</a>. The Tigers kept charging back into the game in the third when they scored three. A pair of doubles by&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6355">Madison Pierce</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6635">Regan Curry</a>&nbsp;and a single by&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6340">Elise Capra</a>&nbsp;set up a bases loaded situation for the Tigers. SNU helped the Tiger cause by allowing one run to score on a passed ball and another on a wild pitch. Later in the inning,&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6342">Jessica Espinoza</a>&nbsp;knocked home a run with an RBI groundout. FHSU trailed by just two, 8-6, going into the fourth. The teams traded runs in the fourth. Capra generated the Tiger run in the frame with an RBI single, making the score 9-7. The Tigers looked to have the momentum to potentially charge back to even with the Crimson Storm, but three RBI singles (one a 2-RBI single) in the top of the fifth spoiled the Tiger climb and added four more runs to the SNU side. Tiffany provided a sacrifice fly RBI in the bottom of the fifth to get one of the four runs back, but SNU had its lead back to five with two innings to go. The teams traded runs once more in the sixth, the Tigers' run coming on&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6355">Madison Pierce's</a>&nbsp;first collegiate home run. That would make the final tally of 14-9 in favor of SNU. <a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6351">Morgan Schmidt</a>&nbsp;took the loss in the circle for the Tigers, even though half of her eight runs allowed were earned. She struck out three in 1.2 innings of work.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6353">Erika Flynn</a>&nbsp;allowed five runs (four earned) in 2.2 innings of action and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6352">Savanah Egger</a>&nbsp;allowed one (no earned) in 2.2 innings. Hannah Sattler picked up the win in relief for SNU since starter Jennifer Romero came up an out short of qualifying for the win. Romero surrendered the first seven runs to the Tigers (four earned) before Sattler allowed the final two.
