EL PASO, Texas (AP) — UTEP coach Tim Floyd abruptly announced his immediate retirement after a 66-52 loss to Lamar on Monday night. Floyd won 466 games as a college coach at five schools, including Iowa State and Southern California. He also was coach for the Chicago Bulls and New Orleans Hornets in the NBA. The 63-year-old Floyd took over at UTEP before the 2010-11 season, winning 138 games.

The unexpected statement came during his postgame news conference after the Miners (1-5) lost their fifth straight game. Floyd said it was “the right time” and that it was “my last game as a coach.” In a news release, UTEP said it would announce a plan Tuesday for who would lead the program.

In the game, Zjori Bosha scored 18 points to lead Lamar (5-1), which scored the game’s first 13 points and led by 20 points at halftime. Trey Wade scored 13 points for UTEP, which shot 33 percent.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State coach Matt Campbell and the Cyclones have agreed to a new six-year deal worth $22.5 million, increasing Campbell’s annual compensation from $2.1 million to $3.5 million per season. Campbell, who led Iowa State to a 7-5 record and its first winning season in Big 12 play in 15 years, was expected to be among the top names in the offseason coaching carousel. Iowa State beat a pair of top-5 teams this season.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs started the season 5-0 with the look of a Super Bowl contender. They have lost five of their past six games and seen much of their AFC West lead evaporate. But trying to figure out exactly where everything has gone wrong has been tough for the Chiefs, partly because there are so many problems in so many places.

UNDATED (AP) — The Missouri Valley Conference was supposed to be devastated by the loss of Wichita State. So far, the league has shown it might have been vastly underrated for 2017-18. League teams are 46-16, the best combined start for the Valley since 1962-63. Loyola at Chicago and newcomer Valparaiso are 7-0.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Kansas State freshman Skylar Thompson led the Wildcats to dramatic wins over Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Iowa State. Now, after helping them get bowl-eligible, the young QB has the chance to start three more years and bring some stability to the game’s most important position for Kansas State.

The CAM girls opened up the season with a home win over the AHSTW Lady Vikes 46-27 on Monday night. It wasn’t a pretty game as the two teams combined for 39 turnovers and struggled to make shots. Defense was a bright spot for both teams at times and the Cougars zone really kept the Lady Vikes out of sync in the first half.

CAM was led by Madison Gettler who finished with 18 points on the night, 14 of those coming in the first half. The Cougars led 13-3 after the first quarter and 22-9 at halftime. The Lady Vikes still couldn’t get the offense going in the third quarter and CAM extended the lead to 30-11 to give them a fairly comfortable lead the rest of the way. Paige McAfee added 10 points and Macy Ticknor had 8 for CAM.

AHSTW was led by 9 points from Sarah Butcher who dropped in 3 threes in the fourth quarter. Kinsey Scheffler had 8 points on the night. The Lady Vikes travel to Treynor on Tuesday night to open Western Iowa Conference play.

CAM hosts Paton-Churdan in Rolling Valley Conference play on Friday.

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University announced today that football coach Matt Campbell has agreed to a new six-year contract worth $22.5 million. Campbell’s guaranteed annual salary will increase from $2.1 million to $3.5 million effective immediately. The athletics department has also agreed to provide Campbell an additional $1 million for incremental raises for his staff.

Campbell’s 2017 team was 7-5 overall and 5-4 in Big 12 play, matching the school record for conference wins in a season. The Cyclones’ fourth-place tie in the league was their best as a member of the Big 12. Iowa State defeated both Oklahoma (then third-ranked) and TCU (ranked fourth at the time) this year. ISU had one win over a top five school in its history prior to 2017. ISU is bowl-eligible for the first time since 2012 and will learn its destination this week.

Campbell will hold a news conference Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. in the Bergstrom Football Complex.

The Atlantic boys basketball team hopes they can carry some momentum from their state tournament appearance last season into the 2017-18 campaign. The Trojans went 19-6 last season and lost in the first round of the state tournament to Waverly-Shell Rock. Atlantic will have to overcome the loss of an impact player and leader in Garrett Franken, but a strong group of experienced players do return. Austin Alexander, Chase Mullenix, Scott Leonard, Grant Podhajsky, Tyler Moen, and Jaxson Eden are all back and played significant minutes last season. Head Coach Alan Jenkins talked about the experience the team has.

The Trojans allowed an average of 55.8 points per game to opponents last season and Coach Jenkins expects this year’s team to be even better defensively.

Scott Leonard is the top returning scorer after averaging 14.7 points per game last year and Coach Jenkins expects him to have a huge impact down low again this season, and should be one of the premiere big men in the conference and class. Austin Alexander returns at the point after averaging 11.0 points per game last year and leading the team with 100 assists. Austin will be another player the Trojans lean on offensively and Coach Jenkins said he expects him to have a breakout year in that regard. Atlantic will have to replace the 23.8 points per game that Garrett Franken contributed last year. Franken is now a freshman at The University of North Dakota. Coach Jenkins talked about replacing those points as a team.

The Trojans open up the season on Tuesday night at home against the Winterset Huskies. We will have video coverage of that game for you on KJANTV. Tip time is set for 7:30pm at the Atlantic High School.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Tyrod Taylor threw for 183 yards and a touchdown in his return to the starting lineup. Tre’Davious White intercepted Alex Smith with just over a minute remaining as the Bills beat the Chiefs 16-10. It was the fifth loss in six games for the Chiefs, who started 5-0 but have quickly slid back to the pack in the AFC West.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs lost for the fifth time in six games, this time 16-10 to the Buffalo Bills. The culprit once again was the offense. It was held to 236 yards. Alex Smith struggled to find open wide receivers and the ground game was held in check. The only bright spot was a defense that kept them in the game until the final minute.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska athletic director Bill Moos says it will take two or three years to return the football program to the level of competitiveness that fans expect. He says he has a list of a half-dozen names of coaches he thinks could get the job done. Mike Riley was fired Saturday after a 4-8 season ended with losses in six of the last seven games.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Reed Timmer buried seven 3-pointers and all seven of his free throws for a career-high 32 points and Drake turned back Chicago State 79-67. Nick McGlynn just missed his third straight double-double with 17 points and nine rebounds for the Bulldogs (4-1).
