No. 11 Missouri women fall on the road at 9th-ranked South Carolina

Posted on

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — No. 9 South Carolina and No. 11 Missouri shook hands before the starting lineups were introduced. The pleasantries ended after that.

A’ja Wilson had 15 points, hitting the go-ahead basket with 4:13 left, and Gamecocks outlasted the Tigers 64-54 on Sunday night in a hard-fought game that included an on-court tussle and two Missouri ejections.

The bad feelings were stirred from a game three weeks ago at Missouri where Wilson fouled out and South Carolina coach Dawn Staley was ejected for arguing about the Tigers’ physical play. Things boiled over once more in the second quarter when Missouri’s Kayla Michael and South Carolina’s Alexis Jennings fought for a rebound and crashed hard to the floor. Players from both sides ran in as shoving and bumping took play. Missouri reserves Jordan Roundtree and Nadia Green were ejected for coming off the bench to join the scrum.

“Emotions, passion, I thought it was a battle,” Missouri coach Robin Pingeton said. “That was a tough one.”

And it came down to the final few minutes.

The Gamecocks (18-3, 7-2 Southeastern Conference) saw their 48-41, fourth-quarter lead evaporate after Amber Smith’s two straight buckets to tie the game at 49-all. That’s when South Carolina’s All-American in Wilson rebounded a miss by teammate LeLe Grissett and put it right back up to move the Gamecocks back on top.

Jennings, who had missed her first four shots, then followed with back-to-back baskets as South Carolina built a 57-49 lead in the final minute. The Tigers (17-4, 5-3) could not respond and the Gamecocks got a measure of revenge from their Missouri loss.

The crowd of more than 13,000 rarely let the Tigers forget their anger about that defeat. They booed Tigers star Sophie Cunningham nearly every time she touched the ball. The Missouri junior found her way into the tussle, first getting shoved by South Carolina’s Doniyah Cliney, then bumping Jennings hard were her shoulder as she walked off the court.

Officials took about 15 minutes looking at video of the altercation. Cunningham and Cliney were assessed unsportsmanlike fouls.

Cunningham led Missouri with 18 points and eight rebounds.

Missouri did not make players available to the media.

Wilson said the Gamecocks treated this game like every other one. Staley said her players studied film of their last two matchups — both Missouri wins — and knew they’d take some shots. “They just don’t want to go into a game unprotected,” Staley said. “Our first thing is making sure everyone’s OK.”

Cunningham kept grinding to the end, even sending Wilson a reminder of what might be ahead in the league tournament as the Missouri player bumped her on the way into the locker room after the final buzzer.

“It’s all love and game,” Wilson said, smiling.

Tyasha Harris had 19 points for South Carolina, which won its fourth straight, while Wilson had a game-best 15 rebounds for her 13th game with double figure points and rebounds this season. The two-time defending SEC player of the year also had four blocks.

BIG PICTURE

Missouri: When the Tigers get Cunningham some help, they are a ferocious group. That was far from the case against the Gamecocks and Missouri paid for it. Starters Jordan Frericks and Amber Smith were a combined 8-of-20 shooting. Another starter in Cierra Porter played just nine minutes because of foul trouble.

South Carolina: The Gamecocks got their pivot stretch off to the right start. With last year’s starters in Alaina Coates, Allisha Gray and Kaela Davis off to the WNBA, many wondered if South Carolina had enough pieces to make another run in the SEC and beyond. They’ve got a couple of more tests ahead, starting Thursday night against undefeated and top-ranked UConn. After that the Gamecocks travel to No. 2 Mississippi State, a team that lost three times — including the SEC and NCAA title games — to the Gamecocks.

STAYING FOCUSED

Wilson spent zero time thinking about South Carolina’s upcoming matchup with No. 1 UConn leading up to Missouri. She believes that approach will help this week as they prep for the playing the Huskies for a fourth straight season. “I don’t think this is a confidence booster,” she said. “We know who we are and we’re going to continue to be who we are.”

TAKING AFFRONT

South Carolina point guard Tyasha Harris was bothered that Missouri sagged off her at times to concentrate on the Gamecocks post players down low. So Harris gladly made them pay. She hit two of the Gamecocks’ seven 3-pointers and came up with clutch outside shooting whenever South Carolina saw its margin shrink. “It’s a little disrespectful,” Harris said. “I took it to heart.”

K-State women rally to defeat Kansas in overtime

Posted on

LAWRENCE, Kansas – Kansas State used a last-minute rally in regulation on Sunday evening at Allen Fieldhouse to register a 63-59 overtime win over Kansas. K-State has now won eight straight in the series.

Kansas State (12-9, 4-6 Big 12) was led by sophomore forward Peyton Williams with a game-high 23 points, eight rebounds and a career-high tying five blocked shots. Williams has 15 games this season in double figures.

Junior Kayla Goth added 14 points, six assists and three steals. The product of DeForest, Wisconsin, scored in double figures in 20 of K-State’s 21 games this season.

Kansas (11-10, 2-8) was paced by Brianna Osorio and Kylee Kopatich with 15 points each. Kopatich added a game-high 12 rebounds.

Each team started the first quarter cool from the field, as the teams combined for 4-of-13 shooting in the first six minutes of the game resulting in a 6-6 tie. K-State’s first made field goal came with 6:35 to play in the first frame, as Peyton Williams knocked down a midrange jumper.

K-State was able to get its offensive legs under them late in the first quarter to take a 12-9 lead into the second frame. The Wildcats held the Jayhawks scoreless for the final 3:44 of the opening quarter, as Williams finished a pair of free throws while Cymone Goodrich knocked down a baseline jumper to give the Wildcats the three-point lead.

The Wildcats stretched its first half lead to six, 15-9, as Kaylee Page buried K-State’s first 3-pointer with 8:03 to play in the second quarter. Kansas answered with a 7-0 run of its own to take a 16-15 lead with 4:11 to play in the half.

K-State answered with another 7-0 run to register a 22-16 lead, as Kayla Goth capped the run with a layup with 2:28 remaining. It would be K-State’s last field goal of the first half, as K-State held a 23-21 lead at the half.

The Wildcats shot 25.8 percent (8-of-31) from the floor in the first half, but held the Jayhawks to a 28.0 percent (7-of-25) performance. K-State forced nine turnovers, including six from a K-State steal. The Wildcats also blocked five shots in the opening half., including three from Williams.

Kansas State went frigid from the field in the third quarter, as K-State finished the frame 3-of-16 from the field and trailed Kansas, 32-30. Cymone Goodrich ended a nine and a half minute scoreless drought for K-State with a long jumper, then added a 3-pointer on the next possession. The seven points in the third quarter were the fewest of any quarter this season for K-State.

With the final five points of the third quarter, K-State used an 11-1 run to lead 36-33 with 8:12 remaining in the fourth quarter. After a layup by KU to pull within one, 36-35, Williams finished a layup and a jumper during a 5-0 burst to build a 41-35 lead with 5:02 to play.

After a Kansas timeout, the Jayhawks received four opportunities on its next possession and capitalized with an Osorio three-pointer from the top of the key. Kansas used the 3-pointer to start a 12-0 run to build a 47-41 lead with 2:16 remaining and force a K-State timeout. Osorio would bury a second 3-pointer during the run , while Kopatich added a pair of 3-pointers from in front of the Kansas bench.

K-State responded in the final minute with an 8-2 run, as Rachel Ranke buried a pair of 3-pointers to help send the game to overtime. Ranke finished the game with nine points and five rebounds.

In the overtime, K-State outscored Kansas, 12-8, to seal the win. Ranke started the scoring with a backdoor layup. After Kansas tied the game at 53, K-State used a 6-1 run to build a 59-54 lead. A pair of free throws from Christalah Lyons brought the Jayhawks within three, 59-56, but Williams finished a layup with 20 seconds remaining and Shaelyn Martin iced the game with a pair of free throws with 10 seconds left.

K-State shot 35.4 percent (23-of-65) from the field, including a 66.7 percent effort in the decisive fourth quarter. Kansas was held to a 30.8 percent (20-of-65) output. The Wildcats ended the night with seven blocks and 11 steals.

Kansas State will continue its two-game road trip on Wednesday, as the Wildcats play a rare morning Big 12 regular season game at Oklahoma. Wednesday’s game is set for a 10:30 a.m.

Griffons get hammered by No. 7 Bearcats 94-60

Posted on

MARYVILLE, Mo. – Despite shooting 50 percent from the field, the Missouri Western men (3-15, 1-10 MIAA) fell 94-60 Saturday afternoon at No. 7 Northwest Missouri (17-3, 9-2).

The Griffons went 23-of-46 from the field, but allowed the Bearcats to make better than 68 percent of their shots (33-48), including 13 three pointers, the most surrendered by the Griffons this season.

NOTABLES
– The Griffons field goal percentage was a high for the season, improving on the 46 percent the team shot against Southeastern Oklahoma State

– Missouri Western also shot a season-high 46 percent from three-point range (6-13)

– Lavon Hightower scored a team-high 13 points on 5-of-11 shooting

Mizzou drops third straight with loss at Mississippi State

Posted on

STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — Quinndary Weatherspoon scored a team-high 20 points as Mississippi State defeated Missouri 74-62 on Saturday night.

The win snapped a two-game losing streak for the Bulldogs (15-6, 3-5 SEC). Abdul Ado and Nick Weatherspoon each had 12 points for Mississippi State while Tyson Carter added 10 points.

Kassius Robertson had 20 points to lead Missouri (13-8, 3-5) while Kevin Puryear added 10 points.

“I was really pleased tonight with our effort,” said Mississippi State head coach Ben Howland. “We got off to a rocky start, offensively, but found our way back. In the first half, our bigs did a good job of scoring and in the second half, it came from the perimeter. We only attempted 16 shots on 3 pointers, which is nice. We have to keep getting it inside to have that balance.”

Nick Weatherspoon scored all 12 of his points in the second half for the Bulldogs while Lamar Peters finished with a career-high nine assists. Nick Weatherspoon was 0 of 5 from the field in the first half before making 5 of 8 shots in the final half.

“My coaches came to me and said the first half was over and to not focus on it,” said Nick Weatherspoon. “We all know I had a bad first half and they told me to just go play my game. I knew my jumper was not working so I tried to sneak behind the defense.”

The Bulldogs opened the second half on a 6-0 run and never relinquished the lead the remainder of the game. Missouri did get within five points twice in the second half but the Bulldogs closed the game out on a 10-4 run.

Mississippi State shot 54.7 percent for the game, including 66.7 percent in the second half. Missouri shot just 45.6 percent for the game and had 19 turnovers. The Tigers did hold a 34-27 advantage on the backboards while Mississippi State had 15 turnovers.

“We had a five-point lead late in the first half,” said Missouri head coach Cuonzo Martin. “We gave that up and didn’t get it going early in the second half. We had a lot of breakdowns on defense late in the first half and it carried over to the second half.”

The first half featured four lead changes and three ties. Missouri jumped out to a 17-10 advantage in the opening seven minutes before Mississippi State responded with an 11-4 run to tie the game at 21.

The Tigers then reeled off eight straight points to regain the lead at 29-24 only to see Mississippi State tie the game at 31 following Holman’s buzzer-beater to end the first half.

Mississippi State shot 42.3 percent in the first half and has nine turnovers. Missouri show just 39.4 percent in the first half and had seven turnovers.

BIG PICTURE

Missouri: The Tigers have now lost four of their last five SEC games. The road only gets tougher for Missouri with a trip to Alabama on Tuesday and the Crimson Tide are fresh off a win over No. 12 Oklahoma.

Mississippi State: After losing five of their last six SEC games, the Bulldogs were in dire need of a conference win. Mississippi State is now 14-1 at Humphrey Coliseum this season.

Missouri remains on the road and will travel to Alabama on Tuesday.

MWSU women lose at Northwest; Bearcats snap 15-game skid

Posted on

MARYVILLE, Mo. – The Missouri Western women’s basketball team’s longest win streak over any current MIAA opponent came to an end Saturday at Northwest Missouri.

The Griffons’ (10-10, 3-8 MIAA) win streak over the rival Bearcats (2-17, 1-10) ended at eight games with a 56-53 loss. Missouri Western took its rival to the wire, trailing by one after a KeShara Scott free throw with 42 seconds left. Scott got a steal on Northwest’s ensuing possession, giving Missouri Western the ball with 38 seconds to go, down 54-53. The Griffons would eventually turn it over, before committing two fouls that resulted in two Northwest Missouri free throws. Dossou Ndiaye missed a three point attempt with three seconds remaining that was rebounded by Mania Timson, but the Griffons couldn’t get another shot off.

NOTABLES
– Northwest’s win was its first in the MIAA this season and snapped a 15-game losing streak by the Bearcats

– It was the Griffons’ first loss in Maryville since 2014

– The Griffons made three more field goals in the game than Northwest (25-22) and shot 50 percent from the field

– Northwest was 7-of-8 from the free throw line while the Griffons were just 1-of-3

– Missouri Western went 1-for-9 from three-point range; Northwest Missouri went 5-of-11

– Rebounding was even and the Griffons out-scored Northwest Missouri 38-20 in the paint

– Dossou Ndiaye led the Griffons with 14 points and eight rebounds

– KeShara Scott also had eight boards to go with 11 points and a team-high three assists

No. 5 Kansas builds big lead, holds on to defeat Texas A&M

Posted on

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas has white-knuckled its way to the top of the Big 12.

It took hopping out of conference play to finally breeze to a comfortable win.

Svi Mykhailiuk poured in 24 points, Malik Newman added 15 and the fifth-ranked Jayhawks built a big lead on Texas A&M in the first half before sustaining it most of the way in a 79-68 victory Saturday.

Lagerald Vick added 10 points, and Udoka Azubuike had a couple of rim-rattling dunks, as the Jayhawks (17-4) — so accustomed to sweating out down-to-the-wire games this season — won their fourth straight in the Big 12/SEC Challenge and 10th in a row over the Aggies.

“Oh, we sweated,” Mykhailiuk said, smiling.

Just not a whole lot. The Jayhawks built a 45-27 halftime advantage, kept the gap nearly that wide in the second half and managed to breathe easy in the final minute for a change.

“It wasn’t as easy,” Jayhawks coach Bill Self said, “as I would have hoped.”

Tyler Davis had 18 points and nine rebounds to lead Texas A&M (13-8), which began the season 11-1 with wins over Big 12 foes West Virginia and Oklahoma State. But after ascending to No. 5 in the AP poll, coach Billy Kennedy’s club has lost seven of its last nine in a calamitous freefall.

“I really think Kansas played as well as any team we’ve played all year, the way they shared the ball,” Kennedy said. “I think the Mykhailiuk kid, he made some special 3s, and giving up 10 3s in the first half was really hard to overcome against a good team.”

Robert Williams added 11 points, nine boards and four blocks for the Aggies, whose only win over Kansas in 22 tries came in 2007, before they bolted the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference.

The Jayhawks took control with a 10-0 run midway through the first half, stretching a 20-18 lead into a 30-18 advantage behind the kind of 3-point barrage that has become so common this season.

At one point, they had hit nine of their first 13 from beyond the arc.

Mykhailiuk had three in the first half, part of his 17 points in 17 minutes, as the Jayhawks shot 53 percent from the field and took a 45-27 lead into the break against one of the nation’s best defenses.

“It seemed like every back-breaking play, we’d get a bad bounce and they’d hit a 3,” Kennedy said. “Every bounce, every play, they made it, and that’s the mark of a good team.”

Kansas kept the pace hot in the second half, creating run-outs every time the Aggies missed a shot — and there were plenty of them. And even when they were forced to set up offense, the Jayhawks managed to get high percentage shots, including a rim-shaking dunk by Azubuike early on.

Azubuike had barreled through Davis before slamming it home, then straddled the Aggies’ big man as he dropped back to the floor. He gave him a mean mug, too, that earned him a technical foul.

The Aggies finally clawed within 72-62 on free throws by Davis with 4:40 to go, but Marcus Garrett scored on a driving layup and Azubuike added a baby hook to restore the Jayhawks’ advantage.

The Aggies never managed to get within single-digits down the stretch.

DOKE’S TECHNICAL

Self was not happy with Azubuike’s technical foul, which he called “selfish.” The play also took some of the fire out of the big guy, who had a big first half but was quiet in the second. Azubuike ended up with eight points, six boards and four blocks in 22 minutes.

BIG PICTURE

Texas A&M tried to establish its size in the paint, but the Jayhawks made up for their lack of size with scrappiness. The Aggies’ guards were outhustled to seemingly every loose ball, and that put too much pressure on Davis and Williams to make things happen in a game that hardly suited their style.

Kansas bounced back nicely from a late collapse at Oklahoma, showing a bit more moxie than the Jayhawks have in recent weeks. They had a 15-2 edge on fast-break points, and they hung with the bigger Aggies on the boards in a positive sign for a team that has struggled to rebound.

Kansas State rallies to defeat Georgia 56-51

Posted on

MANHATTAN, Kansas (AP) — Over the last week or so, Kansas State fans have taken to social media and used the hashtag of #DeanWolf to support the star forward Dean Wade as he’s led the charge during Kansas State’s three game winning streak.

In the final minutes against Georgia on Saturday the hashtag #DeanWolf came alive and so did the Wildcats.

Wade scored six of his 20 points as Kansas State outscored Georgia 12-2 in the final 6:11, winning 56-51 in Bramlage Coliseum in the annual challenge between teams from the Southeastern Conference and the Big 12.

For this Kansas State team, games like they had against Georgia were ones that they had seen before. A back-and-forth contest that would see the Wildcats eventually fade down the stretch but in this game, the team showed the maturity and experience.

“I think we have matured a lot, at the end of games we do not panic like we used to,” Wade said. “We are playing strong and confident. Getting a little more experience just helps our confidence and maturity a lot.”

It was a ground out affair for the Wildcats (16-5) who were held well below their season average 77.1 points per contest. Wade picked up his 20 points on 7 of 17 shooting including hitting some clutch second-half baskets down the stretch to help extend the Wildcats lead.

Georgia (12-8) was led in scoring by Yante Maten with 14 points on 6-11 shooting.

Bulldogs took the lead early in the second half and used tough defense, tough shot making, and solid rebounding as they trounced the Wildcats in that category with a 38-27 edge, including 12 on the offensive end alone.

With the Wildcats beginning their climb back into the ballgame, the Bulldog offense stalled as they went 1 of 11 from the field and didn’t pick up their first basket until Derek Ogbeide scored on a layup with 34 seconds left in the ballgame.

BIG PICTURE

Kansas State: Kansas State showed that they can win those “grind out” games as they scored well below their 83.3 points per game they averaged in the last three contests.

Georgia: The Bulldogs struggles continue as they now have lost five of their last six with the lone victory coming against LSU.

THEY SAID IT: “He is a player who can shoot the three and drive it. He can score mid-range off a fade away or a pull-up and is a very good passer. Because he has good shooters around him it is usually one-on-one so he is able to finish a lot of plays.” — Georgia coach Mark Fox on Wade.

POLL IMPLICATIONS: Kansas State could be in a position to have their first ranking since January of 2017.

STATS AND STREAKS: The win by Kansas State makes them 3-2 all-time in the Big 12-SEC Challenge.

Georgia: The Bulldogs host Florida on Tuesday.

Palmer scores 28, Huskers pull away from Iowa for 98-84 win

Posted on

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Chanting Nebraska fans wanted 100 points, but there was no need to go for it when the Cornhuskers got the ball back for their final possession and the clock winding down.

Their 98-84 win over Iowa was good enough Saturday night.

“I won’t apologize to the fans for not getting 100 tonight,” James Palmer Jr. said. “It probably would have been great for them, but we got the win, so be happy.”

Palmer scored 28 points, Isaac Copeland added 23 points and 11 rebounds and Nebraska pulled away in the second half.

Nebraska (16-8, 7-4 Big Ten) scored its most points in a conference game since putting up 99 against Kansas State in 2002 when the Huskers were in the Big 12.

“One thing about Iowa is they can lead you down the path to a shootout,” Nebraska coach Tim Miles said. “They play quick, they see an open shot and it’s going up, and you can have a lot of quick possessions. I didn’t know if we could keep up.”

Iowa (11-12, 2-8), which beat Wisconsin on Tuesday, failed to win consecutive conference games for the first time and left coach Fran McCaffery with 399 career wins.

Jordan Bohannon and Tyler Cook each had 24 points to lead the Hawkeyes.

Copeland made his first five shots and scored 13 points in the opening 7 1/2 minutes. Seven different Huskers scored as they closed the half on a 23-10 run to grow a 25-24 lead to 48-34 at half.

“Copeland has looked good shooting it all week,” Miles said.

Iowa got within 56-54 early in the second half, with Bohannon scoring seven quick points, 6-foot-11 freshman Luka Garza making a 3-pointer for his first basket of the game, and Ahmad Wagner scoring on a layup to make it a two-point game.

But Palmer started a decisive 15-4 run that broke open the game again. He made back-to-back 3s and scored nine points during the spurt.

Garza, after making his first 3, tried another one a minute later and only hit backboard. After a couple Iowa turnovers and a foul on Nicholas Baer, Nebraska was in control.

“They’re a talented group that shares the ball,” McCaffery said of Nebraska. “They have a lot of good individual players. I don’t see any selfishness there. Copeland and Palmer, they’re the guys, but they give it up.”

Isaiah Roby added 17 points, eight rebounds, three blocks and two steals for the Huskers, who are alone in fourth place.

Nebraska already has one more conference win than it did last season.

“I like the demeanor of my team, I like the buy-in,” Miles said.

BIG PICTURE

Iowa: The Hawkeyes have struggled on defense all season and came in allowing 82.6 points per game against Big Ten opponents. Saturday was their worst performance. They gave up a season-high 98 points and allowed Nebraska to shoot an opponent season-best 57.7 percent and make 6 of 8 3-pointers in the second half and 11 of 19 (57.9 percent) for the game.

Nebraska: Palmer has been on a tear the last five games, averaging just under 25 points, and big man Jordy Tshimanga scored a season-high 11 points. Tshimanga was away from the team for two games two weeks ago for personal reasons. Miles said he’s come back playing free and loosely.

MEET THE COACHES

Fans were on their feet at halftime when the new Nebraska football assistant coaches walked through the tunnel and were introduced on the court. Head coach Scott Frost was a no-show, however.

QUOTABLE

“We shoot 50 percent from the field, 43 (percent) from 3, 20 assists on nine turnovers against a team that’s up in us. You’re on the road. You come back. There’s a lot of good. And 84 points on the road should keep you in the game. But we give up 98.” — McCaffery.

Missouri State falls at home to Southern Illinois

Posted on

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Armon Fletcher scored 18 points, including a layup with 6.7 seconds left, to lift Southern Illinois to a 79-77 win over Missouri State on Saturday night.

Kavion Pippen, who added 17 points, got the ball on the low block before finding Fletcher cutting down the lane. Jarrid Rhodes missed a potential winning 3 for the Bears as time ran out.

Missouri State was down by 11 at the half and 10 with 11 1/2 minutes to play before finally tying the game twice with less than two minutes to go.

Southern Illinois (14-9, 6-4 Missouri Valley conference) made 8 of 13 3-pointers and shot 64 percent (30 of 47) from the field.

Alize Johnson had 29 points and 12 rebounds for the Bears (15-8, 5-5), who shot 58 percent in the second half but couldn’t slow the Salukis offense. Obediah Church had two blocks to break the school record of 167 set by Danny Moore (1996-99).
