LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Terran Petteway is skipping his senior season at Nebraska and declaring for the NBA draft.

Petteway was the leading scorer in the Big Ten as a sophomore and was fourth this past season. The guard’s 18.1-point career scoring average ranks second in program history.

Petteway began his college career at Texas Tech. He made his announcement Thursday from Galveston, Texas, where he was with his family following the death of his mother last week.

Petteway thanked fans for their support and said it was a “bittersweet” decision because Lincoln has become a second home to him. Coach Tim Miles said he had hoped Petteway would return next season but he supports the decision.

Nebraska’s Walter Pitchford also has declared for the draft.

Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz says the first college football playoff showed the Big Ten is not as “down” as many claimed. Ohio State made a surprising run to the national championship despite being without its top two quarterbacks. Ferentz says there is more parity among the conferences than many believe.

Iowa closes out spring drills on April 25th.

Iowa Cubs general manager Sam Bernabe doubts fans in Des Moines will see star prospect Kris Bryant play. Bryant won’t be eligible for free agency until after the 2021 season if the parent Chicago Cubs wait until Friday to call him up. The I Cubs home opener is Friday night against Oklahoma City.

Bernabe says if fans in Des Moines get a chance to see Bryant play it most likely will only be for a day or two. The I-Cubs are 3-3 on the season after Wednesday’s 3-2 loss in ten innings at New Orleans.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Lance Lynn extended his April success with five solid innings and Matt Holliday had a two-run single in the first inning, lifting the St. Louis Cardinals to a 4-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night. Lynn (1-1) allowed one run and six hits. He pushed his April record to 13-2 since 2012, the best record in the majors over that period.

Wily Peralta (0-1) gave up four runs on 10 hits over five innings for Milwaukee. Yadier Molina had three hits for St. Louis, which won 12 of 19 against Brewers last season.

Kevin Siegrist, Seth Maness, Matt Belisle, Randy Choate, Jordan Walden and Trevor Rosenthal followed Lynn. Rosenthal picked up his third save despite giving up a two-out run-scoring hit to Ryan Braun in the ninth.
