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

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Lauren Cox had 22 points and 11 rebounds, and Baylor earned its first Final Four berth since 2012 by beating Iowa 85-53 in the Greensboro Regional final. Didi Richards added 16 points and 10 rebounds, Chloe Jackson had 14 points and the top overall seed Bears won their 27th straight game by shooting 53%, clamping down on All-American Megan Gustafson and her supporting cast and holding the nation’s best shooting team to a season-worst 32%.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State freshman Talen Horton-Tucker intends to declare himself eligible for the NBA Draft after just one season with the Cyclones. Horton-Tucker announced his decision on Twitter, saying that it’s in his best interests to “start the next chapter” of his life. Horton-Tucker, a 6-foot-4 guard from Chicago, averaged 11.8 points and 4.9 rebounds a game for Iowa State in 2018-19.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Paul DeJong scored on a passed ball in the top of the 11th inning as the St. Louis Cardinals rallied past Pittsburgh 6-5 to spoil the Pirates’ home opener. The Cardinals came back twice against Pittsburgh’s erratic bullpen, tying it in the eighth and again in the ninth. DeJong singled off Steven Brault with two outs in the 11th, moved to third after a hit by pitch and a walk and then raced home when Nick Kingham’s fastball squirted past Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have acquired edge rusher Emmanuel Ogbah from Cleveland in a swap for safety Eric Murray. Murray was originally drafted by current Browns general manager John Dorsey. Ogbah is expected to fit in new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s 4-3 scheme, while Murray became expendable after the Chiefs signed Tyrann Mathieu.

NEW YORK (AP) — Napheesa Collier has had an incredible senior year so far, leading UConn back to the Final Four for a 12th consecutive year. The senior forward is the leading vote-getter on The Associated Press women’s basketball All-America team. She is joined on the team by Iowa’s Megan Gustafson, Oregon’s Sabrina Ionescu, Louisville’s Asia Durr and Mississippi State’s Teaira McCowan. Voting was done before the NCAA Tournament by the 28-member national media panel that votes for the poll each week.

UNDATED (AP) — TCU tries to beat Texas for a third time this season to advance to the NIT championship game. Wichita State plays Lipscomb in the other seminal Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden in New York.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Tennessee wants to talk to Missouri State coach Kellie Harper about its coaching vacancy. The Lady Vols are looking for a coach to replace Holly Warlick, who was fired last week after going 172-67 in seven seasons. Harper played at Tennessee from 1995-99 and is coming off a surprising run to the Sweet 16 of the women’s NCAA Tournament with 11th-seeded Missouri State.

Top-seed Baylor routs Iowa 85-53 to cruise to Final Four

April 1st, 2019 by Ric Hanson

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Lauren Cox had 22 points and 11 rebounds, and Baylor earned its first Final Four berth since 2012 by beating Iowa 85-53 on Monday night in the Greensboro Regional final. Didi Richards added 16 points and 10 rebounds, Chloe Jackson had 14 points and the Bears (35-1) — the top overall seed — won their 27th straight game by shooting 53%, clamping down on All-American Megan Gustafson and her supporting cast and holding the nation’s best shooting team to a season-worst 32%.

Now it’s on to Tampa, Florida, for the school’s fourth Final Four and its first in seven years — when the Bears won their second national championship. The 6-foot-4 Cox — a third-team AP All-America pick — and fellow twin tower Kalani Brown, a 6-7 second-team All-American, teamed up to dominate both the glass and the heavily-hyped matchup with Gustafson, the nation’s leading scorer at 27.9 points per game.

Brown finished with 14 points, and Baylor held a 47-26 rebounding advantage with 20 second-chance points to six for Iowa. Gustafson finished with 23 points on 9-of-17 shooting, but was held without a rebound in the second half for second-seeded Iowa (29-7). Kathleen Doyle and Tania Davis each had 10 points.

The Bears — who entered allowing their opponents to shoot a Division I-worst 31.4% — held Iowa way below its previous worst of 41.1% at Purdue on Jan. 10.

April 1st, 2019 by admin

IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa women’s basketball senior Megan Gustafson has been named an AP First Team All-American, the Associated Press announced Monday.

Gustafson is the only Hawkeye to ever earn first team All-America distinction from the AP. She is one of six Hawkeyes to earn AP All-America distinction. Gustafson earned second team honors last season.

A native of Port Wing, Wisconsin, is ranked in the top-three nationally in eight statistical categories. She leads the nation in points per game (27.9), field goal percentage (70.1), double-doubles (33), field goals made (403), and total points (978), ranks second in defensive rebounds per game (11), and third in rebounds per game (13.5) and total rebounds (472).

Gustafson has also earned first team All-America honors from ESPNW and was named ESPNW’s National Player of the Year.

Sports

April 1st, 2019 by admin

AMES, Iowa – The postseason awards continue to pile up for Iowa State senior Bridget Carleton.

Carleton, the 2019 Big 12 Player of the Year, earned another All-America accolade today by being named to the Associated Press’ All-America Second Team this afternoon.

A native of Chatham, Ontario, Carleton put together one of the finest seasons and careers in the history of Iowa State women’s hoops. Carleton led the Big 12 in scoring at 21.7, breaking ISU’s season point record with 760.

She ended her career just eight points shy of breaking ISU’s all-time scoring mark with 2,142 points. Carleton also ranks in the top-five in Iowa State’s record book in career field goals (3rd, 713), steals (3rd, 211), blocked shots (3rd, 124) and 3-pointers (5th, 255).

Carleton is the third Cyclone to earn second-team AP All-America honors, joining Angie Welle (2002) and Stacy Frese (2000).
