Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — Joe Weiskamp had 19 points, Luka Garza added 16 and Iowa beat Northwestern 73-63 despite playing without leading scorer Tyler Cook. Isaiah Moss had 12 points for the Hawkeyes (13-3, 2-3), who have won seven of eight.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Bridget Carleton had 24 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists to lead No. 20 Iowa State to a 92-54 victory over TCU for its seventh straight win. The Cyclones (13-2, 3-0 Big 12 Conference) improved to 11-0 at home while TCU (11-3, 1-2) has lost two straight following an eight-game win streak.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Markus Howard scored 14 of his career-high 53 points in overtime after Sam Hauser’s deep 3-pointer at the end of regulation tied the game, and No. 21 Marquette beat Creighton 106-104. Howard’s dazzling offensive performance set a Marquette record and broke his own record for points in a Big East game. His 53 points were the most by a player in a game matching Division I opponents this season, one behind the 54 Furman’s Jordan Lyons had against D-II North Greenville.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy interviewed for four head coaching jobs last week, when Kansas City was on its bye. He insists that his focus this week is solely on preparing for a divisional round game against Indianapolis. But after that? He could follow in the footsteps of his predecessors, Doug Pederson and Matt Nagy.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Kalani Brown had 16 points and nine rebounds, Lauren Cox added 13 points and 10 rebounds and the No. 4 Baylor women beat Kansas State 65-50. The Lady Bears momentarily fell behind in the third quarter Wednesday night before a 9-0 run to end the quarter and take the lead for good. The Lady Bears Big 12 won their third game in a seven-day span that started with their home win over then-No. 1 UConn last Thursday.
