Carleton, Scott help No. 19 Iowa St. women beat Kansas 69-49

Sports

March 5th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Bridget Carleton and Kristin Scott each had a double-double to help No. 19 Iowa State beat Kansas 69-49 on Monday night in the regular-season finale for both teams. Iowa State, which has won three games in a row and five of last six, secured the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye in the conference tournament, which begins Friday.

The Cyclones (23-7, 13-5 Big 12), who tied the program’s single-season records for regular season wins and conference wins, have just one win in the Big 12 tournament since losing to Baylor in the 2013 championship game.

Carleton finished with 20 points and 11 rebounds while Scott scored 12 with a career-high tying 14 boards. Kansas (12-17, 2-16) led 18-17 at the end of the first quarter but Carleton opened the second with back-to-back layups and Iowa State never again trailed.

Christalah Lyons had 13 points for the Jayhawks, who shot just 27.5 percent (19 of 69) from the field. Kansas has lost 10 consecutive games, tied with Brown for the fifth-longest active streak of its kind.

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

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Bridget Carleton and Kristin Scott each had a double-double to help No. 19 Iowa State beat Kansas 69-49 in the regular-season finale for both teams. Iowa State, which has won three games in a row and five of last six, secured the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye in the conference tournament, which begins Friday.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa senior Megan Gustafson has been named the Big Ten player of the year, becoming the first Hawkeye to win the award twice. Gustafson was tabbed for the honor in a vote by the league’s coaches and media members. Gustafson averaged 28.4 points, 13.8 rebounds, and shot 68.7 percent from the field in Big Ten games this season.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — No. 18 Kansas State is still tied for the Big 12 lead with one game left in the regular season after a 64-52 win at TCU. Barry Brown had 16 points to lead four Wildcats in double-figure scoring. K-State went ahead to stay with a tiebreaking 13-4 run to end the first half before scoring the first 10 points after halftime. The Wildcats are tied with No. 8 Texas Tech for the Big 12 lead after the Red Raiders also won.

UNDATED (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs placed the franchise tag on outside linebacker Dee Ford, making official a decision the team had been leaning toward throughout the offseason. Ford is coming off the best season of his career, piling up 13 sacks and forcing an NFL-leading seven fumbles.

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — In a power-happy era of Major League Baseball, a few clubs believe there is a market inefficiency when it comes to speed. One of them is the Kansas City Royals, who have three of the top eight base-stealers in baseball on their roster. The idea is to create havoc between the bags, producing runs in an old-school way at a fraction of the price.

UNDATED (AP) — Jim Delany will step down as commissioner of the Big Ten Conference in June 2020. Over three decades, the 71-year-old Delany helped the Big Ten grow to 14 schools, launched the first conference television network and helped construct the College Football Playoff. He also protected the league’s relationship with the Rose Bowl. Big Ten revenues soared under his leadership and he became one of the most powerful figures in college sports.

March 4th, 2019 by Jim Field

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa senior Megan Gustafson was named the Big Ten player of the year Monday, becoming the first Hawkeye to win the award twice.

Gustafson was tabbed for the honor in a vote by the league’s coaches and media members.

Gustafson averaged 28.4 points, 13.8 rebounds, and shot 68.7 percent from the field in Big Ten games this season. She scored at least 20 points in 17 of Iowa’s 18 games and had at least 10 rebounds 17 times as well.

Gustafson, one of 10 semifinalists for the Naismith Trophy awarded to the nation’s top player, leads the country in field goal percentage (70.8) and points per game (27.7). Gustafson’s 27 double-doubles are the second-most in America.

Iowa, the second seed in the Big Ten tournament, plays on Friday against either seventh-seeded Minnesota or 10th-seeded Indiana.
