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

UNDATED (AP) — Second-year Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg is getting the same results with a new team. The Cornhuskers’ basketball team has lost 20 straight Big Ten games. The latest was a 36-point beat-down by Ohio State on Wednesday that ranks as the most lopsided in Hoiberg’s college coaching career. Only two players on the current roster suited up for Nebraska last year. That was Hoiberg’s first season. The Huskers have averaged just under 59 points while opening Big Ten play with three losses. The Huskers are shooting 30% on 3-pointers and 41% overall and averaging 12.9 assists. Those are all Big Ten lows.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — All-America defensive tackle Daviyon Nixon of Iowa announced his decision to declare for the NFL draft and forego his senior season. Nixon made the announcement on social media and the athletic department confirmed his decision. Nixon was named a first-team Associated Press All-American and was AP Big Ten defensive player of the year. He led the Big Ten in tackles for loss, tied for the conference lead in sacks and had the most tackles by a Big Ten defensive lineman.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Sam Haiby made a game-winning putback just before the buzzer as Nebraska beat No. 15 Northwestern 65-63. Haiby drove from the right wing, spun into a double team and her scoop shot was short, but she grabbed the rebound and curled it in before getting mobbed by her teammates. Haiby missed nearly four minutes of the fourth quarter after dealing with a leg cramp, but returned to make Nebraska’s only two field goals in the final three minutes. She finished with 18 points, on 8-of-20 shooting, eight rebounds and five assists. Lindsey Pulliam led Northwestern with 19 points.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Justin Herbert had just turned 10 years old when Chiefs quarterback Chad Henne was drafted by the Miami Dolphins. Think that’s wild? The Chargers QB was still in high school the previous time Henne started a game. It will be quite the matchup on Sunday when the 22-year-old Herbert, who has surpassed just about everyone’s expectations during a breakout rookie season, starts for the Chargers in Kansas City. Opposite him will be the 35-year-old Henne, who gets the nod as the Chiefs rest their starters with the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs already secured.
