DENVER - In a thrilling overtime battle on the road, the No. 12/15 ranked Fort Hays State women's basketball team triumphed over Regis, 82-77, in a game packed with clutch plays and dramatic momentum shifts at the Regis Field House. Fort Hays State remained unbeaten on the season, now 6-0 overall, while Regis dropped to 2-3 following its first home contest of the season.

Olivia Hollenbeck led the Tigers with 20 points, followed by 18 from Katie DeGarmo&nbsp;and 14 from Talexa Weeter. Brooke Loewe&nbsp;posted a double-double and flirted with a triple-double with 10 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists.

Regis had the upper hand early, leading by as many as five early before FHSU closed within a point, 13-12. DeGarmo was key to keeping the Tigers in striking distance with eight of the team's 12 first-quarter points. FHSU hit the first basket of the second quarter to take a brief lead, then tied the game twice early in the second quarter. Baskets by Weeter and Kate Dilsaver&nbsp;later in the second quarter put the Tigers up three, but Regis had a four-point burst to make the frame a stalemate and led at halftime 32-31.

The third quarter saw the intensity escalate as the Tigers jolted past the Rangers with a 13-0 run. Down by three, Hollenbeck triggered the run with a pair of free throws. Loewe followed with a layup to give the Tigers the lead. Loewe and Hollenbeck each had four points in the run, while Dilsaver had two. Bailey Wilborn&nbsp;capped the burst with a 3-point field goal to make it 44-34 in favor of the Tigers. However, a 3-point field goal by Regis snapped the run and it used a 17-6 run to get the lead back by one with a minute to go in the quarter. Baskets by Weeter and Loewe in the final minute gave the Tigers the lead back 54-51 heading into the fourth quarter.

FHSU led by five twice early in the fourth quarter, but could not shake Regis as the Rangers pulled back even at 58-58 with 5:52 to go in regulation. Regis took the lead back with a basket at the 4:22 mark, but Hollenbeck countered with an old-fashioned 3-point play to put the Tigers back on top. The Rangers tied the game twice more before jumping in front with a 3-point basket with 1:23 to go. Dilsaver went to the free-throw line and made one of two shots to tie the game at 69, then neither team could find a winning bucket in the final minute.

The extra period was a showcase of Fort Hays State's poise under pressure. Regis struck first with a pair of free throws. However, the Tigers surged back in front with a decisive 9-1 run. It was a group effort with baskets from Loewe, Ellie Stearns, DeGarmo, and Hollenbeck. Regis moved back within three with 38 seconds to go, but DeGarmo put the game on ice with a pair of free throws with 13 seconds left.

Regis made 11 3-point field goals to help stay in the game even though FHSU made nine more field goals overall. The Rangers were near perfect at the free-throw line, going 18-of-19. Erin Fry led the Rangers with 19 points, followed by 16 from Athena Saragoza and 15 from Fiona Snashall.

Fort Hays State returns to action tomorrow just down the road a little more to the west in Golden, Colo., where it takes on Colorado School of Mines at 4 p.m. CT (3 p.m. MT).&nbsp;&nbsp;

🏀 No. 12 FHSU women survive in overtime at Regis

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs recovered a botched snap while the Las Vegas Raiders were within range of a go-ahead field goal with 15 seconds remaining on Friday, preserving a 19-17 victory for Kansas City and giving the franchise its 10th consecutive playoff berth.

The Raiders (2-10) had taken over at their own 8-yard line with just under two minutes to go, and Aidan O'Connell quickly moved them across midfield, eventually spiking the ball at the Kansas City 32 to stop the clock.

Rather than try a potential winning field goal — Daniel Carlson had already missed three from 50-plus — the Raiders lined up to run a play. Andre James snapped the ball when O'Connell wasn't expecting it and it bounced off the quarterback's shoulder. Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton jumped on the ball, and the recovery stood when a flag on the play turned out to be an illegal shift by the Raiders.

It was the 14th consecutive game decided by one possession that Kansas City (11-1) has won.

The Raiders had a chance earlier in the fourth quarter, and O'Connell similarly drove them across midfield. But the Chiefs forced three straight incomplete passes — George Karlaftis and Justin Reid batted down two — to bring up fourth down. Carlson headed onto the field, but his 58-yard try with 2:21 never got near the uprights.

Patrick Mahomes had 306 yards passing and a TD for Kansas City, while fill-in kicker Matt Wright made four field goals.

O'Connell finished with 340 yards passing and two touchdowns for the Raiders, who have lost eight of nine to their bitter AFC West rivals. Brock Bowers had 10 catches for 140 yards and one of the scores.

The hapless Raiders were able to hang around thanks to the same problems that have plagued the Chiefs much of the season: Their offensive tackles were unable to give Mahomes time to throw, their secondary kept breaking down and they committed too many penalties — three on one offensive possession alone.

In fact, Mahomes was under extreme duress when he found Justin Watson from 6 yards out late in the first half. The pass not only gave the Chiefs a 10-3 lead but sent the two-time MVP past Len Dawson with his franchise-record 328th TD throw.

O'Connell, who was thrust back onto the field when Gardner Minshew went on injured reserve with a broken collarbone this week, got off to a slow start after missing a month with a broken thumb. But while the Chiefs continued to kick field goals, the second-year pro found his rhythm for the Raiders, eventually slinging a pair of TD passes to give Las Vegas the lead.

The first was to Bowers, already one of the most productive rookies in NFL history, with 1:40 left in the third quarter. Then, after the Chiefs went three-and-out, O'Connell hit Tre Tucker with 58-yard strike on the first play of the fourth quarter.

The Chiefs answered with Wright's fourth field goal to take a 19-17 lead with about 10 minutes to go.

Chris Jones had two sacks for Kansas City. He had not had one the previous seven games. ... Las Vegas has trailed by double digits in every game this season. ... Mahomes had gone 113 straight starts without being sacked five-plus times. Carolina and Las Vegas have done it in consecutive weeks.

Raiders: WR DJ Turner left in the second half with a knee injury.

🎧 Defend the Fort Podcast: FHSU Rewind-MBB vs. Central Christian (Nov. 26, 2024)

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Dajuan Harris scored 14 points and top-ranked Kansas withstood&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/kansas-hunter-dickinson-ejected-duke-9e63ed1f2d4358893f114f38e1242d74">the ejection of star center Hunter Dickinson</a>&nbsp;to beat No. 11 Duke 75-72 in the Vegas Showdown on Tuesday night.

Dickinson, who entered the game averaging 17.8 points and 10.4 rebounds, received a fragrant-2 foul and was ejected for kicking the Blue Devils’ Maliq Brown in the head midway through the second half.

Highly touted Duke freshman Cooper Flagg took advantage of Dickinson's absence, and the Blue Devils kept it close all the way to the buzzer.

Zeke Mayo added 12 points for Kansas (6-0), and Dickinson and AJ Storr each scored 11.

Tyrese Proctor led Duke (4-2) with 15 points, Flagg scored 13, Kon Knueppel had 11 and Sion James finished with 10.

Mayo put Kansas ahead for good when he made a jumper with 1:57 left for a 73-71 lead. Flagg hit a free throw for Duke and Rylan Griffen answered with two foul shots with 2 seconds left.

Kansas has won four of the past five meetings with the Blue Devils and six of eight. Nine of the past 10 meetings have been decided by single digits.

Kansas: Overcoming the loss of Dickinson could serve the Jayhawks well later in the season.

Kansas center Hunter Dickinson was ejected midway through the second half of the top-ranked Jayhawks'&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/kansas-duke-basketball-score-19ef64a030f58f6ed7428470c54f9b48?utm_source=copy&amp;utm_medium=share">75-72 victory</a>&nbsp;over No. 11 Duke on Tuesday night for kicking the Blue Devils' Maliq Brown in the head.

Brown was assessed a personal foul for backing into Dickinson while both were going for a rebound. Dickinson was given a flagrant-2&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/espn/status/1861619396990406694">for the kick</a>, leading to the ejection. He initially remained in the bench area with his teammates before being escorted off the floor.

“I didn't think at the moment and nor now do I feel it a warranted a level-2,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “In my opinion, it's probably a coin flip whether it's a level-1 or a level-2.”

Self said the officials told him they made that decision because they believed the kick was intentional and that Brown's head hit the floor.

“It's probably fairly broadly accurate,” Self said.

Duke coach Jon Scheyer said the officials made the right decision.

“I saw on the screen that he kicked him in his face, so I think that warrants a flagrant-2,” Scheyer said. “I haven't had a good look or anything more, but that to me was really an easy one.”

Dickinson entered the game averaging 17.8 points and 10.4 rebounds, so his loss could've been the game-changer. Kansas led 57-55 at the time, but Flory Bidunga filled in and finished with six points and eight rebounds.

“Obviously, it's a bummer that an All-American like Hunter had to go out,” Kansas forward KJ Adams said. “But it makes me happy that Flo got a chance to show the world what he can do. It's amazing what he did out there, especially a freshman coming in in that big environment, a huge game. He did really good.”

Duke: Flagg had six points when Dickinson went out, but then on four trips to the lane had two dunks, a layup and a free throw.

Knueppel had a 3-point try rim out at the buzzer that would have forced overtime.

Duke shot 50% from the field and 42.3% from 3-point range. Kansas shot 49.1% overall and 47.1% from 3.

Kansas hosts Furman on Saturday. Duke is home against Seattle on Friday.

🏀 No. 1 KU holds off Duke after Dickinson ejected in the Vegas Showdown

HAYS, Kan. - The 12th-ranked Fort Hays State women's basketball team moved to 5-0 on the year after a wire-to-wire victory over Tabor College Tuesday evening inside Gross Memorial Coliseum, 93-39.

Nine different Tigers combined for 32 assists on 40 made baskets, the most assists in a game for the Tigers in five years (34 vs. St. Mary, 11/25/19). Seven different players recorded at least two assists, including 10 from Brooke Loewe&nbsp;and eight from Maddy Powell. Loewe's 10 dimes are the most for a Tiger since January 2022 (Jaden Hobbs, 10, vs. Lincoln, 1/8/22).

Fort Hays State shot 56.3 percent from the floor (40-of-71), its best shooting percentage in nearly two years (56.4 percent at Lincoln, 1/2/23). The Tigers' 93 points are their most in a game since they scored 100 against Rogers State four years ago (2/20/20).

One minute into the fourth quarter Katie DeGarmo&nbsp;collected her seventh rebound of the game, giving the graduate student her 1,000th career rebound in a Tiger uniform. She is just the second player in program history to surpass that milestone, and is also the second to surpass that plateau in both points and rebounds. Earlier in the night the Maize, Kan. native moved into third place on the all-time scoring list at FHSU, now with 1,800 career points.

Oliva Hollenbeck&nbsp;won the opening tip for the Tigers, giving DeGarmo the chance to open the scoring with a 3-pointer. Tabor later scored on its second possession to make it 3-2 before the Tigers pulled away, scoring the next 13 points to race in front 16-2. Hollenbeck scored six points during the run, with Kate Dilsaver&nbsp;adding five points including a 3-pointer.

The Tigers eventually led by 18 after 10 minutes, 26-8, before Telexa Weeter&nbsp;helped push the lead to 30 by halftime, 51-21. The sophomore scored 10 points in the final three minutes of the half, including a pair of 3-pointers to give her a team-high 16 points on 7-of-8 shooting in the first half.

Fort Hays State continued to pour it on, scoring 42 points in the second half while holding the Bluejays to just six field goals after the break. Hollenbeck was 6-for-6 in the second half, totaling 12 points and four steals in just eight minutes of action.

Weeter finished with a game-high 25 points, setting a new career high for a third-consecutive game. Hollenbeck contributed 24 points, six rebounds and five steals, giving FHSU multiple players with 20 or more points for the first time since January 2023.&nbsp;DeGarmo finished with 16 points, a game-high seven rebounds, three assists and three steals. Fort Hays State limited the Bluejays to just 24.1 percent from the floor (14-of-58).

The Tigers will continue their run of three games in five days this weekend in Colorado when they travel to take on Regis on Friday (Nov. 29, 6 p.m./5 p.m. MT) and Colorado School of Mines on Saturday (Nov. 30, 4 p.m./3 p.m. MT).&nbsp;&nbsp;

LAWRENCE, Kan. –&nbsp;Following a historic Senior Day performance in Kansas' 37-21 victory over No. 16 Colorado, KU senior running back Devin Neal&nbsp;has been named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week. The award was announced by the league office on Monday.

Neal carried the ball a career-high 37 times for 207 yards and three touchdowns, while adding 80 yards and another touchdown on four receptions. This is the second time in his career that Neal has scored four total touchdowns, first since Nov. 31, 2021 at Texas, and the fourth time he has scored at least three touchdowns in his career, first since Nov. 18, 2023 at Kansas State. The 207 rushing yards is the second-highest total for Neal in his legendary career, trailing only a 224-yard rushing day in KU's 37-16 win over No. 18 Oklahoma State in 2022.

In the game, Neal surpassed the 1,000-yard rushing milestone for the 2024 season, becoming the first player in Kansas football history to rush for more than 1,000 yards three times in his career. Neal has now rushed for 1,133 yards and 15 touchdowns this season. His yardage total is good for the sixth-highest single-season total in program history and his touchdown total is No. 4 in school history for a single season.

KU's all-time leader in rushing yards, rushing touchdowns and total touchdowns, Neal added to his historic marks on Saturday. His current career totals are 4,210 yards, 48 rushing touchdowns and 52 total touchdowns. The game also marked Neal's 19th career game with more than 100 rushing yards, which is also a school record. Additionally, Neal is now No. 3 in school history for career receptions by a running back with 76.

Nationally, Neal is tied for the lead among active FBS players with 48 career rushing touchdowns, which matches the mark of Boise State's Ashton Jeanty. Neal is No. 2 among active power four running backs for career rushing yards, trailing only Tahj Brooks of Texas Tech. Neal entered the game ranked No. 10 in Big 12 history for career rushing yards and passed Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson and Samaje Perine and Kendall Hunter of Oklahoma State to move No. 7 in conference history. He is also 10th in league history for rushing touchdowns.

This is the fourth career Big 12 weekly honor for Neal and third career player of the week nod. He was previously named player of the week on Nov. 15, 2021, following KU's win at Texas and Nov. 7, 2022, after the Jayhawks home win over Oklahoma State. He was also named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week on Oct. 25, 2021, for his performance during a matchup with Oklahoma.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The music could clearly be heard outside the doors to the Broncos' locker room, the players inside truly enjoying finally getting to experience a victory in Las Vegas.

Bo Nix passed for 273 yards and had two touchdown passes to break the team's rookie record Sunday, and Denver beat the reeling Raiders 29-19.

The Broncos (7-5) took another step toward an unexpected playoff spot with their second victory in a row.

“A year ago, we don't win that game,” Broncos coach Sean Payton said. “It wasn't our best, but it was good enough. We're on to the next one, so we have a lot to clean up, but it was good to handle these guys for a second time.”

The Broncos&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/raiders-broncos-score-8d708558333570583ac9189b2284d9b0?utm_source=copy&amp;utm_medium=share">won the first meeting 34-18</a>&nbsp;in Denver on Oct. 6 to end an eight-game losing streak to the Raiders.

Las Vegas (2-9) has lost seven consecutive games, its longest skid since the 2017-18 seasons.

“I never doubt the mindset of everybody in that locker room,” Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby said. “Everybody shows up every day with the mindset to get better, so that's all you can ask for.”

Nix finished 25 of 42, and his&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/Broncos/status/1860820922594169273">18-yard touchdown pass</a>&nbsp;to Courtland Sutton in the third quarter broke the club rookie record of 14 TD passes set by Marlin Briscoe in 1968. Nix and Sutton later hooked up for a 2-yard TD with 5:30 left to give the Broncos a two-possession lead.

Nix and Sutton later hooked up for a 2-yard TD with 5:30 left to give the Broncos a two-possession lead.Those plays helped erase a 13-9 halftime deficit. The Broncos outscored Las Vegas 20-6 in the second half after adjusting to the Raiders' willingness to repeatedly bring more pressure than anticipated.“We had to shift that mindset,” Nix said. “We went into the game expecting (some). We had some calls for it, so now we had to get to those and adjust to them. I thought we did a good job handling the pressure, getting some more 1-on-1s.”Denver lost its previous four games at Allegiant Stadium. This also was the Broncos' first road win in this series since defeating the then-Oakland Raiders on Oct. 11, 2015.“I think the tide is turning,” Sutton said. “The Broncos are in a spot where we want to be back in the AFC West, and I think that's a really exciting spot to be in. Job's not finished.”Sutton caught eight passes for 97 yards and two touchdowns to extend his streak of 70-yard games to five. That's the longest streak by a Broncos player since Demaryius Thomas' eight straight in 2014.Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/las-vegas-raiders-gardner-minshew-79e143ef0e2880f46bf2d5df863168d5?utm_source=copy&amp;utm_medium=share">landed hard on his left shoulder</a>&nbsp;late in the game and was replaced by Desmond Ridder. Minshew will miss the rest of the season with a broken collarbone, according to multiple reports.Minshew completed 25 of 42 passes for 230 yards, with a touchdown and interception. The best passing play, however, came on a fake punt when AJ Cole&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/NFL/status/1860808393557946591">completed a 34-yard pass</a>&nbsp;to linebacker Divine Deablo to set up a second-quarter field goal.That was one of four field goals by Daniel Carlson, whose duel with Broncos counterpart Will Lutz kept Las Vegas in the game. They combined to make all nine of their attempts, including three from more than 50 yards.Jakobi Meyers caught 10 passes for 121 yards. That’s his best game since 2020, when Meyers played for the New England Patriots and caught 12 passes for 169 yards against the New York Jets.Crosby recorded his 100th tackle for loss in the second quarter, becoming the fourth player to reach that number since at least 1999 in his first six seasons. The others were J.J. Watt, Aaron Donald and DeMarcus Ware.The Raiders are a shell of themselves. They played this game without their top two running backs as well as two starters at cornerback, two on the defensive line and one at safety.“Credit Vegas,” Payton said. “They came out and had some fire about them, but they lost.”Raiders special teams coordinator Tom McMahon did not coach, but no reason was provided. Derius Swinton II handled those duties.<h2>Injuries</h2>Broncos: CB Riley Moss (knee) left the game late in the first half. DE Zach Allen (heel) didn't play.Raiders: RBs Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quadriceps) and CBs Nate Hobbs (ankle) and Jakorian Bennett (shoulder) did not play.<h2>Up next</h2>Broncos: Host Cleveland on Monday, Dec. 2.Raiders: At Kansas City on Friday afternoon.
