IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The fourth-ranked Iowa wrestling team won nine of 10 matches and routed rival Iowa State 32-3, winning its ninth straight dual meet over the Cyclones. Top-ranked Matt McDonough and Derek Saint John cruised to easy decisions for the fourth-ranked Hawkeyes (6-0), who improved to 61-16-2 against Iowa State (0-2).
Mike Evans and Ethen Lofthouse posted early wins for Iowa. The Hawkeyes led 14-3 at intermission and finished off one of the more lopsided meets in the history of the rivalry — one of the biggest in collegiate Olympic sports. Iowa State’s Kyven Gadson was the only Cyclones wrestler to win a match as Iowa State fell to 0-7 against Iowa coach Tom Brands.
AMES, Iowa (AP) – Will Clyburn scored a career-high 32 points and Iowa State snapped a two-game losing streak by beating BYU 83-62. Melvin Ejim added 13 points for the Cyclones (5-2), who shot 48 percent from the floor in a surprisingly easy victory over the Cougars.
Iowa State took control with a 12-0 run spanning the halves. The Cyclones jumped ahead by as much as 58-41 early in the second half and cruised to their 12th straight home win dating back to last season.
Brandon Davies had 20 points to lead BYU (5-3), which saw its three-game winning streak snapped. The Cougars hit just four 3s in 20 tries.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Police have identified the girlfriend of a Kansas City Chiefs player killed in a murder-suicide as 22-year-old Kasandra M. Perkins. Police spokesman Darin Snapp says linebacker Jovan Belcher fatally shot Perkins on Saturday. He then drove to Arrowhead Stadium and committed suicide in front of his coach and general manager.
Authorities did not release a possible motive for the murder-suicide, though police said that Belcher and his girlfriend had been arguing recently. The two of them have a 3-month-old child. Snapp says Belcher’s mother recently had moved in with the couple, possibly to help with the baby. She called police just before 8 a.m. to report Perkins had been shot multiple times. Perkins was transported to a hospital, where she died a short time later.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Melsahn Basabe scored 15 of his 17 points in the first half as Iowa throttled Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 88-59 on Saturday. Devyn Marble added 15 points for the Hawkeyes (6-2), who never trailed and used a 20-0 run in the first half to bounce back from two straight losses. Joy Williamson scored 14 points to lead Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (1-5).
Basabe came off the bench to spark Iowa’s big first-half rally. The junior scored the final 13 points of the 20-0 run during a seven-minute stretch of the half. Basabe made 5 of 6 field goals and 7 of 8 free throws for the game. Iowa freshman Adam Woodbury added 13 points and five rebounds. Josh Oglesby scored 12 points.
(Updated 10:22-a.m.) KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Police say a 25-year-old Kansas City Chiefs player was involved in two shootings Saturday, one of which occurred in the parking lot near Arrowhead Stadium. Kansas City police Supervisor Andrea Khan could not release the name of the player involved. The condition of the two parties was not immediately known.
Khan said the first shooting happened in a Kansas City, Mo., neighborhood and the second happened at Arrowhead Stadium, about five miles away, at about 8 a.m. Saturday. The Chiefs issued a statement saying, “We can confirm that there was an incident at Arrowhead earlier this morning. We are cooperating with authorities in their investigation.”
CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs have declined to offer a 2013 contract to third baseman Ian Stewart, making him eligible for free agency. Stewart was acquired in a trade with Colorado in December 2011 that cost the Cubs promising outfielder Tyler Colvin. Stewart batted .201 with five homers in 55 games before needing wrist surgery. Also Friday, the Cubs also declined to offer contracts to right-handers Zach Putnam and Jaye Chapman. Putnam was claimed off waivers from Colorado on Nov. 2, and Chapman was 0-1 with a 3.75 ERA in 14 appearances with Chicago this year. Stewart, Putnam and Chapman are set to become free agents Saturday.
The Cubs tendered contracts to four arbitration-eligible players: right-handers Matt Garza and Jeff Samardzija, lefty James Russell and infielder Luis Valbuena. The team also announced right-hander Casey Coleman cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa.
