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

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Kendric Davis scored season-high 22 points and TCU stunned No. 17 Iowa State 92-83 for its first road win over a Top 25 team in 21 years. Kouat Noi, Desmond Bane and Alex Robinson each had 17 for the Horned Frogs. They used a staggering 27-4 first-half run to blow past the Cyclones and greatly boost their NCAA Tournament chances.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Carsen Edwards scored 27 points and Grady Eifert added a season-high 16 as No. 15 Purdue rebounded from a lackluster first half to pull away for an 81-62 victory over Nebraska. The Boilermakers have won eight straight overall and 14 in a row at home. Thomas Allen made five 3-pointers and matched his season-best with 18 points to lead the Cornhuskers.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Veteran Adam Wainwright remains confident in his ability to still be effective on the mound for the St. Louis Cardinals. The team is believed to have one spot open for a starter and Wainwright wants to make his case as he goes into his 15th season in St. Louis. He says he is healthy after making just eight starts last year because of injuries.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Right-hander Homer Bailey and the Kansas City Royals and agreed to a minor contract that includes an invitation to big league spring training. The 32-year-old has spent his entire 12-year career in Cincinnati, making 212 starts and going 67-77 with a 4.56 ERA. Bailey was traded from the Reds to the Dodgers in a seven-player deal in December, then was released and became a free agent. Bailey has thrown a pair of no-hitters.
