FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Monte Morris had 18 points and six assists and No. 19 Iowa State followed a win over top-ranked Oklahoma with a 73-60 victory over TCU on Saturday. The Cyclones (15-4, 4-3 Big 12) started slowly five days after knocking off the Sooners at home but went ahead for good on Morris’ steal and layup during an 11-0 run that put Iowa State in front 26-19 late in the first half.

Chauncey Collins scored 14 points to lead the Horned Frogs (9-10, 1-6), who have dropped four straight since beating rival Texas at home for their earliest Big 12 victory in their fourth year in the conference.

Matt Thomas scored 15 points for Iowa State, which won its third straight in the only game in a stretch of five against a team not currently in the Top 10.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have signed speedy wide receiver Terrell Sinkfield, a native of the Twin Cities area coming off a breakout year in the Canadian Football League. Sinkfield signed a reserve/future contract on Saturday, meaning he’ll be on the roster for offseason practices. Sinkfield played at Hopkins High School and Northern Iowa, where he was listed at 6-foot-1 and 192 pounds. He made headlines three years ago by running a reported 40-yard dash time of 4.19 seconds for NFL scouts at the University of Minnesota’s pro day workout.

Sinkfield spent time in camps of the Miami Dolphins, Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bills and New York Giants, but he never stuck. Now 25, Sinkfield had 69 receptions for 1,030 yards for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the CFL in 2015.
