NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Louis Dabney and Malik Morgan each scored 18 points, leading Tulane to a 79-74 overtime win against Drake on Monday night. After two free throws from Dabney gave the Green Wave a 69-67 lead in regulation, Dominik Olejniczak’s dunk tied it up with 39 seconds left.

Morgan scored 6 of Tulane’s 10 points in overtime to lift the Green Wave (1-1). He was 7 of 14 from the field and grabbed six rebounds. Dylan Osetkowski had 7 points and seven rebounds, and his steal with 25 seconds left forced Drake to foul, sending Morgan to the line for two clinching free throws.

Graham Woodward had 20 points on 7-of-14 shooting for Drake. Reed Timmer had 19 points and five rebounds. Tulane scored 17 points off Drake’s 21 turnovers.

North Carolina is No. 1 in the first regular-season men’s college basketball poll by The Associated Press after opening with victories over Temple and Fairfield.

Maryland is third with 14 first-place votes and Kansas is fourth with five first-place votes.

Defending national champion Duke is fifth and followed by Virginia, which had the other first-place vote. Iowa State, Oklahoma, Wichita State and Gonzaga round out the top 10. Oregon won its opener and joined the poll at No. 25. Wisconsin dropped out from 17th after losing to Western Illinois and beating Siena.

 

Iowa State hoping to finish strong

Sports

November 16th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

AMES, Iowa (AP) — After 10 games, Iowa State finally has a realistic shot at a winning streak. It wouldn’t be enough to save their bowl hopes — but it might be enough to save seventh-year coach Paul Rhoads. The Cyclones (3-7, 2-5 Big 12), who’ve lost to five of the top 11 teams in this week’s AP rankings, close the season against Kansas State (3-6, 0-6) and West Virginia (5-4, 2-4).

Rhoads said the chance to finish fifth in the Big 12 for the first time since the league went to 10 teams and the chance to grab four Big 12 wins will be motivating factors for the program.

Chiefs crush Manning, Broncos 29-13

Sports

November 16th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

DENVER (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs prevented Peyton Manning from getting the one record he really wanted, trouncing the Denver Broncos 29-13 Sunday on the strength of five interceptions and five field goals. Manning entered the day with 71,836 yards through the air, 2 shy of Brett Favre’s record and tied with Favre with 186 victories.

He finished the day with just 35 yards on 5-of-20 passing, four interceptions, two sacks and an almost unheard-of zero passer rating before being benched late in the third quarter. The only highlight for Manning was his milestone: a 4-yard pass to running back Ronnie Hillman. Even that didn’t come until he’d thrown his first interception, gotten sacked and fumbled.
