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

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Lindell Wigginton scored 17 points to help lead No. 17 Iowa State to a 75-74 victory over Oklahoma. Marial Shayok added 16 points, 10 in the final eight minutes, including a crucial off-balance 3-pointer as the shot clock expired with 1:19 remaining, for Iowa State (18-5, 7-3 Big 12).

UNDATED (AP) — No. 2 Duke is to face No. 3 Virginia in a rematch of one of the season’s most entertaining games. The Blue Devils won the first meeting 72-70 to hand the Cavaliers their first loss. The rematch will be at Virginia’s John Paul Jones Arena

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Missouri’s Cuonzo Martin is downplaying his return to Tennessee as a visiting men’s basketball coach for the first time since the end of his own tenure coaching the Volunteers. Martin already faces enough of a challenge trying to upset the top-ranked Vols. Tennessee will take a school-record 16-game winning streak into Tuesday night’s game against Missouri.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have instituted a lifetime ban against a fan accused of flashing a laser at New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady during last month’s AFC championship game. The Kansas City Star reports that the Chiefs say the team is also working with authorities to charge the fan “as aggressively as possible.” That decision would ultimately be made by Jackson County prosecutors.
