AMES, Iowa (AP) — Jameel McKay scored 18 points with eight rebounds, and No. 4 Iowa State held off Arkansas-Pine Bluff 78-64 Sunday for its ninth straight win. Matt Thomas had 17 points in his first start of the season for the Cyclones (9-0). They rested guard Naz Mitrou-Long, who is still working his way back from offseason surgery to repair both hips.
The Golden Lions (2-8) hung around for about 35 minutes against an Iowa State team three days removed from an emotional 83-82 win over rival Iowa. But Monte Morris’ alley-oop to McKay gave the Cyclones a 70-54 lead with just more than 5 minutes left.
Ghiavonni Robinson scored 15 points for Arkansas-Pine Bluff, which lost its third straight.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs kept the San Diego Chargers out of the end zone twice in the final seconds Sunday, preserving a 10-3 victory and their seventh consecutive win. Alex Smith threw for 191 yards and a touchdown, along with his first interception after a franchise-record 312 attempts. But it was a banged-up defense that held San Diego without a touchdown for the second time this season that allowed the Chiefs (8-5) to escape.
The Chargers (3-10) took over at their own 11 with 5 minutes left and quickly moved into Kansas City territory, converting fourth down three times. But after San Diego was called for delay of game at the Chiefs 1 with 5 seconds left, Philip Rivers threw incomplete into the end zone.
San Diego still had 2 seconds left, and an incomplete pass that would have ended the game was blown dead for a false start. With the ball pushed back to the 11-yard line, Rivers scrambled to his right and threw to the end zone, where his pass final pass fell incomplete. The Chiefs spilled onto the field to celebrate another big win in their playoff chase.
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State’s women’s basketball team defeated Arkansas-Pine Bluff 70-41 at Hilton Coliseum on Sunday to move to 6-3. Freshman Bridget Carleton poured in 22 points, including a career-high six three-pointers.
The Cyclones closed the first quarter on 10-2 run, making their final six attempts from the field, to take a 23-18 lead. The run was sparked by a pair of three-pointers from Carleton late in the quarter after Iowa State had started the game 1-of-7 from long distance. Seanna Johnson led the way for ISU with seven points and three rebounds in the first stanza.
The second quarter was the Bridget Carleton show. The freshman made four three-pointers in a four-minute stretch to extend the lead. Carleton ended the first half with 20 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the field. Iowa State entered the halftime locker room with a 43-28 advantage. Iowa State was able to go to its bench for the majority of the fourth quarter. The Iowa State defense surrendered just 13 points after halftime and held Arkansas-Pine Bluff to 32.7 percent shooting for the game.
Iowa State will be back in Hilton Coliseum on Sunday, Dec. 20 to take on Alcorn State at 2 p.m.
RENO, Nev. (AP) — Marqueze Coleman scored 19 points and freshman Cameron Oliver matched his career-best with 17 points as Nevada broke away from Drake 79-71 on Saturday night.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Elijah Brown scored 25, including the final five points of the first half Saturday, helping New Mexico beat Northern Iowa 76-57. Brown’s surge capped an 8-0 Lobos’ run that broke a 27-27 tie – the seventh of the first half. That was a key stretch, however, as the Panthers (6-3) could get no closer than five points the rest of the way. Tim Williams added 19 for New Mexico (6-2), while Brown grabbed seven rebounds.
Northern Iowa got 12 off the bench from Wyatt Lohaus, while leading scorer Wes Washpun scored 10, six below his average. The Panthers had a chance to get back into the game early in the second half after cutting the deficit to 44-38. But they botched consecutive fast-break opportunities and threw it away on the next possession. That helped start the Lobos on a quick 7-0 burst that pushed the score to 51-38.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Bruce Anderson returned a kickoff for a touchdown for the second straight week to help North Dakota State to a 23-13 victory over Northern Iowa in an FCS quarterfinal game Saturday. Anderson appeared to be corralled at the NDSU 40 but spun out of the tackle and sprinted in on a 97-yard scoring play. That turned a halftime deficit into a 14-10 lead.
NDSU (11-2) held UNI’s highly-touted running game in check most of the game. The Panthers (9-5) finished with 120 yards rushing. Bison running back King Frazier ran for 107 of his team’s 153 yards rushing. NDSU was outgained by a 2-1 margin in the first half but finished with a 269-221 advantage in total offense.
The four-time defending FCS champion Bison advance to the semifinals against Richmond.
