Keyshawn Evans had 10 points for the hosts.
Nick McGlynn had 18 points and nine rebounds for the Bulldogs (21-8, 10-6), whose four-game win streak ended with the loss. Tremell Murphy added 13 points. Brady Ellingson had 11 points.

The Exira-EHK Spartans (22-2) boys basketball team is set to take on the Sioux Central Rebels (21-2) in the Class 1A Substate 8 Final on Monday night. The game was pushed back from Saturday due to the weather and will now be played in Carroll on Monday at 7:00pm. We’ll have coverage on KJAN.
The Spartans will try to earn their way to the State tournament after picking up a long sought after win over Ar-We-Va in the District Final round on Thursday.Cole Burmeister dropped 30 points in that win over the Rockets and Dakota Rold had 13. The Spartans will need strong performances from both those guys again to get past the Rebels. The 6-7 Rold will certainly be a focus of the game plan with his size advantage. Sioux Central’s regular rotation doesn’t include anyone taller than 6-2.
The Rebels only have two losses, and they both came to teams in higher classes. The Rebels fell by 7 to 3A Spencer early in the year and by 6 to 2A South Central Calhoun to determine the conference crown. The Rebels have been led by Hunter Decker who is averaging 18.5 points per game and Prestan Samson who is putting in 11.3 points per contest. The Rebels average 61.7 points per game as a team.
The Spartans’ leading scorer is Rold who has averaged 17.2 points per game and Burmeister has put in 16.4 points per contest. The Spartans average 72.3 points per game on the team level.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Top-ranked Baylor won’t have to share the Big 12 title with anyone.
The Lady Bears showed on Saturday why no one else deserves a piece of the crown.
Chloe Jackson scored 18 points, Juicy Landrum had 16 and Baylor never trailed in beating No. 20 Iowa State 73-60 to clinch the outright conference title.
Kalani Brown added 14 points and seven rebounds for the Lady Bears (25-1, 15-0). They won their 17th straight game and improved to 6-1 against ranked teams behind a stifling defensive effort.
“You’ve got to credit our defense. We’re not going to let them just spot up and shoot 3s all day,” said Baylor coach Kim Mulkey, whose team held Iowa State to 31.7 percent shooting.
Iowa State did give Baylor something of a late scare, using a 14-2 run to pull to 65-56 with just under five minutes to go. But Landrum drilled a 3 to push the lead back to 12, and the Bears held Iowa State scoreless for over three minutes.
The Cyclones (20-7, 10-5) entered play with six wins in seven games and a 15-1 record at home, leading to speculation that Baylor’s unbeaten streak might be in jeopardy. But the Lady Bears were up to the challenge, grabbing their first 10-point lead less than five minutes into the first quarter.
Baylor then opened the second quarter on a 19-9 run, capped by NaLyssa Smith’s layup that pushed its lead to 42-22.
“They’re No. 1 in the country for a reason,” Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly said. “It’s a make shot, miss shot game, and we missed a lot of shots.”
Star Bridget Carleton did all she could to keep the Cyclones in the game, scoring 14 points in the third quarter alone to help Iowa State pull within 63-52 with 6:41 left. But Baylor flummoxed Carleton’s teammates, as Iowa State shot just 5 of 27 on 3s.
“Holding those guys to five 3s is just a tremendous effort. That was our focus,” Mulkey said.
Carleton finished with 28 points and eight rebounds.
