Wade is perfect as Kansas State shoots past Oklahoma State 75-57

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Kansas State’s Dean Wade didn’t know he had a perfect shooting night going from the field until assistant coach Chris Lowery told him.

“Honestly, I had no idea,” Wade said. “I didn’t really know until the very end, when coach Lowery said something to me about, `Oh, you just don’t want to shoot, don’t want to mess up your percentage.’ I was like, `What are you talking about?”

Wade scored a season-high 24 points on 9 of 9 shooting to help Kansas State defeat Oklahoma State 75-57 on Saturday night. It was just the seventh time in school history that a Kansas State player had a perfect shooting night with at least nine attempts. He also made three 3-pointers.

Barry Brown scored 18 points and Cartier Diarra added 10 for the Wildcats (16-5, 6-2 Big 12), who entered the night tied for the conference lead.

The Wildcats were ranked seventh out of 10 Big 12 teams in 3-point percentage during league games and 10th in all games before Saturday. They made 16 against Oklahoma State, the most in school history for a conference game and the second-most overall.

“I’ve said all among we could be a good shooting team,” Kansas State coach Bruce Weber said. “We should be. The ball movement was really spectacular. Kind of what we’d hoped all year.”

In a building where Oklahoma State has pulled numerous upsets the past two seasons, the Wildcats were unusually comfortable.

“I think a lot of the credit has to go to the coaching staff,” Wade said. “The scouts — they put so much time into the scouts, and it gives us just a great base of how we’re going to play. We went out tonight and executed.”

Curtis Jones scored 14 points and Lindy Waters added 12 for the Cowboys (9-12, 2-6).

Oklahoma State hung tough for a while, but a putback dunk by Kansas State’s Makol Mawien put the Wildcats ahead by 13 late in the first half. Brown hit a 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer to give Kansas State 43-27 advantage. Kansas State shot 61.5 percent before the break.

Oklahoma State didn’t score for more than six minutes to start the second half as Kansas State pulled away. The Wildcats led by 34 at one point, and Oklahoma State went on a 13-0 scoring run late in the game to make the game seem closer.

“They shot the ball better than what they have all season, and a team that’s that good defensively shooting the ball that well offensively — you’re in for a tough game then,” Oklahoma State guard Thomas Dziagwa said.

BIG PICTURE

Kansas State: The Wildcats won their sixth straight conference game, and their fourth straight by double digits. Other than a loss to Texas A&M in the SEC/Big 12 challenge, the Wildcats have been dominant lately and could make their way into the Top 25.

Oklahoma State: The Cowboys were scrappy for a while, but they were simply overmatched. It was Oklahoma State’s fourth straight conference loss. The long-term effects of four players leaving the program or being kicked off the team this season are taking effect.

WADE’S WORLD

Wade has rounded into form since returning from a foot injury. He scored just two points in his first game back, but has been on a tear since then. In his past five games, he’s averaging 18 points on 58 percent shooting, including 53 percent from 3-point range.

STAT LINES

Oklahoma State made just two of nine free throws, making just one in each half. Kansas State made 7 of 12.

HE SAID IT

Oklahoma State forward Cameron McGriff: “It’s a bad loss. It’s just one loss.”

Missouri State loses at Northern Iowa

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Spencer Haldeman scored 15 points, making all three of his 3-point tries, and Northern Iowa held off Missouri State 64-59 on Saturday night.

Although there were five ties and 10 lead changes, Northern Iowa held a slight lead throughout much of the game. Haldeman gave UNI a little breathing room, making a 3-pointer for a 57-53 lead with 1:44 remaining. Tulio Da Silva made two free throws for Missouri State with 1:15 to go.

Haldeman added two free throws to make the lead four points again, Missouri State turned the ball over and UNI had possession with 58 seconds to go. Tywhon Pickford made a layup and, at 61-55, the Panthers had the biggest lead for either team since midway through the first half. Pickford later added 3 of 4 free throws and the Panthers held on.

Luke McDonnell had 12 points and five assists and Isaiah Brown added 12 points for Northern Iowa (10-13, 5-5 Missouri Valley).

Da Silva scored 17 points and Keandre Cook had 15 points for Missouri State (11-12, 5-5).

Nebraska falls at Illinois for fifth straight loss

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Pundits love to say defense wins basketball games, and Illinois coach Brad Underwood agreed wholeheartedly on Saturday as the Illini handed Nebraska its fifth straight defeat 71-64.

Kipper Nichols scored 18 points and Ayo Dosunmu 13 for Illinois (7-15, 3-8 Big Ten). Trent Frazier added 11 points for Illinois.

Underwood gave his team credit for a swarming defense, something the Illini have become known for in the conference.

“I think far and away, from a defensive standpoint, this was our best game of the year,” Underwood said. “It was fun to watch.”

James Palmer Jr. scored a game-high 22 points for Nebraska (13-9, 3-8), while Tanner Borchardt added 12 points and a game-high 18 rebounds. Thomas Allen scored 11.

The Huskers were cold from the field all afternoon, hitting 25 of 70 for 36 percent, compared to Illinois’ 27 of 56 shooting for 48 percent.

“Bad shooting is like a virus,” said Nebraska coach Tim Miles. “It goes bad and then all of a sudden you’re expecting the worst.”

Illinois led by as many as 15 points late in the game, but Nebraska pulled within nine before Illinois held on for the win.

The Illini kept pace with the Huskers the first half, after jumping out to a 7-0 lead. The final five minutes of the half saw Frazier and Nichols take over for the Illinois offense. Frazier hit two 3-pointers and Nichols one to give Illinois a 38-29 lead at the half.

“Kipper played well against us previously,” Miles said. “And he made us pay again today.”

The Huskers seemed out of sync from the opening tip and shot only 32 percent from the field the first half, compared to 47 percent for Illinois.

“I thought our defense had them sped up the entire game,” Underwood said. “And that kept them out of sync, I think.”

Illinois made 9 of 23 free throws (39 percent), its worst free-throw percentage since a 2012 win over Georgia Tech.

Nebraska shot 11 of 21 from the line (52 percent).

THE BIG PICTURE

Nebraska came into Saturday’s game on a four-game losing streak following a 62-51 loss to Wisconsin on Tuesday. The Huskers are without second-leading scorer Isaac Copeland, who averaged 14 points per game, due a torn ACL. Copeland is expected to miss the remainder of the season.

Nebraska beat the Illini 75-60 in Lincoln in December, although the Illini are 10-2 all-time against Nebraska at home. The Illini beat the Huskers 72-66 at the State Farm Center last season.

Illinois has been inconsistent all season, and the previous two games were good examples. The Illini shocked then-No. 13 Maryland 78-67 on Jan. 26 at Madison Square Garden, recording its highest-ranked win in four seasons. The Illini then lost to Minnesota 86-75 just four days later.

BATTLE OF THE BOARDS

The Huskers were led by Borchardt’s 11 offensive rebounds. While out-rebounding Illinois 50-36 overall, it was Nebraska’s 21 offensive boards that stood out.

Illinois managed only eight offensive rebounds in the game.

“I was disappointed in the offensive rebound stats,” Underwood said. “We obviously need to clear that up before Tuesday (against No. 6 Michigan State).”

OFFENSIVELY SPEAKING

“Offense is fleeting,” Nichols said after the game. “It comes and goes. Defensive plays win games.”

Underwood agreed.

“It was a good showing, And boy, am I happy for Kip. He works hard and is a great teammate and locker room guy. I just left him alone all week. He’s had enough people in his ear. I just let him go out and play.”

THE DAGGER

With the game waxing and waning in the final few minutes, and Nebraska making several small runs at Illinois, Frazier did what he does the most for his team.

He hit the dagger to seal the victory.

On Saturday, the dagger came in the form of a long 3-pointer with 3:07 to play that put Illinois up 65-53.

“Trent’s amazing,” Underwood said.

Northwest baseball loses on a walk-off at Arkansas-Fort Smith

FORT SMITH, Arkansas – The Northwest Missouri State University Bearcat baseball team opened its 2019 season with a 3-2 loss at Arkansas-Fort Smith.

The Lions plated the winning run on hit batter with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth.

Northwest struck first with an unearned run in the top of the third. Redshirt freshman Jordan Peck led off the inning and reached on an error by UAFS shortstop Logan Easley. Senior Logan Rycraft sacrificed Peck to second. Following a popup by junior Calvin Rudolph, outfielder Derek Hussey singled to shortstop that allowed Peck to reach third. Peck would score on a wild pitch to give Northwest a 1-0 lead.

UAFS rallied with a two-run spot in the bottom of the fourth as the Lions tallied three hits and left two more runners on base.

Junior relief pitcher Ethan Griswold was called on with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the sixth. Griswold induced a pop up to senior second baseman Mondesi Gutierrez to end the threat and keep the UAFS lead at 2-1.

The Bearcats evened the score at 2-2 in the top of the seventh. Peck singled to right to lead off the seventh. He moved up to second on a sacrifice bunt from Rudolph. Head coach Darin Loe inserted redshirtfreshman Jonathan Hernandez as a pinch runner for Peck. Hussey then singled to third and UAFS’s Brandan Warner’s throw was wild allowing Hernandez to cross home plate.

Griswold worked his third inning in the ninth. He got two of the first three batters out. Following a single by UAFS’s Tremarcus Koontz, Griswold was lifted for Bearcat closer Trevor Dudar. Dudar allowed a single to pinch hitter Cooper VanKooten that loaded the bases with two outs. Unfortunately for Dudar and the Bearcats, Dudar hit Logan Allen with a pitch that allowed the Lions to walk off a 3-2 victory in the season opener for both squads.

Northwest starter Quintin Van Ackeren struck out six batters as he went 4 1/3 innings. Van Ackeren allowed two earned runs off six hits and four walks.

Griswold took the loss despite tossing three innings and giving up only two hits and two walks while striking out a pair.

Hussey led the offense with a pair of singles

The Bearcats and Lions will take to the field tomorrow for game two of the series. First pitch is slated for 1 p.m.

NOTES: The Northwest defense was clean with no errors, while UAFS committed five defensive miscues … UAFS outhit Northwest, 10-7 … Northwest drew three walks, while the Lions benefited from eight free passes.

NCAA rules Jayhawks’ De Sousa ineligible for season

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The NCAA declared Kansas forward Silvio De Sousa ineligible for the rest of this season and next season late Friday, dealing a significant blow to a team that began the season with national title hopes.

De Sousa’s name surfaced last summer in an FBI probe into corruption in college basketball centered on officials linked to apparel company Adidas. The NCAA found that De Sousa’s guardian, Fenny Falmagne, had received a $2,500 payment from a “university booster and agent” and agreed to an additional $20,000 payment from the same individual and an Adidas employee for securing his commitment to Kansas.

The school, which has been cleared of any wrongdoing in the case, indicated in a statement late Friday that it would appeal the ruling. Falmagne has denied receiving any payments.

De Sousa hasn’t played for the No. 11 Jayhawks this season. Kansas had withheld the 6-foot-9 sophomore from competition, pending the results of the investigation.

“We are shocked and incensed by today’s decision,” Kansas athletic director Jeff Long said. “This was clearly an unfair and punitive ruling for a young man who had no knowledge of any NCAA violation, nor did Silvio personally benefit from the violation. While we will continue to work with the NCAA on the broader matter, we have an obligation and a desire to advocate for our student-athletes.”

Kansas’ argument hinges on the fact that any payments made to Falmagne were done without the player’s knowledge, and that De Sousa should have been given leniency in any punishments.

In its ruling, though, the NCAA made it clear that ignorance is no defense.

“When a prospective student-athlete allows a third party to involve himself in the recruitment process, the prospective student-athlete is then responsible for the actions of that person,” the NCAA said, “regardless of whether the prospective student-athlete had knowledge or if benefits were received.

“Membership guidelines state the starting point for these violations is permanent ineligibility, but the NCAA staff recognized mitigation based on the specific circumstances of this case.”

The slow pace of the NCAA investigation has worn on Kansas coach Bill Self, who has been left in limbo in trying to piece together his lineup for the remainder of the season.

“In my 30-plus years of coaching college basketball, I have never witnessed such a mean-spirited and vindictive punishment against a young man who did nothing wrong,” Self said. “To take away his opportunity to play college basketball is shameful and a failure of the NCAA.”

De Sousa’s attorney, Scott Tompsett, had pushed for immediate reinstatement last month, saying that his client had cooperated with the investigation and shouldn’t be punished for the actions of adults.

“He did everything he was supposed to do and was asked to do to become an eligible student-athlete at the University of Kansas,” Tompsett said. “Silvio followed the rules. He did nothing wrong.”

The Jayhawks (16-5, 5-3 Big 12) could have sorely used De Sousa’s help. They lost star center Udoka Azubuike to season-ending wrist surgery a couple weeks ago, and they have lost three of four heading into an important showdown with No. 16 Texas Tech on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.

The FBI’s two-year probe into college basketball already has produced numerous guilty verdicts.

In the first batch last October, former Adidas executive James Gatto, Adidas consultant Merl Code and former NBA runner Christian Dawkins were convicted of felony wire fraud and conspiracy. Former Arizona assistant Book Richardson, former USC assistant Tony Bland and former Oklahoma State assistant Lamont Evans also have pleaded guilty to various federal charges.

Former Auburn assistant Chuck person and former NBA referee Rashan Michel go to trial in June.

De Sousa’s name came up during the FBI probe when AAU coach T.J. Gassnola, a former Adidas consultant, testified that he facilitated payments to Falmagne in an attempt to steer the prospect to Kansas.

Gassnola insisted that Self and the Jayhawks’ staff did not know about the payments, though, and the Hall of Fame coach forcefully maintained De Sousa’s innocence Friday night.

“Silvio is a tremendous young man who absolutely deserves to be on the court with his teammates in a Jayhawk uniform,” Self said. “This process took way too long to address these issues.”

Western tennis goes 1-1 on first day of season

ST. JOSEPH – Missouri Western Tennis (2-2) wrapped up the first day of the Stoney Creek Hotel Tennis Classic with a 4-0 sweep of Truman State (1-3) on Friday night.

The Griffons made quick work of the Bulldogs in doubles play. Karolina Ström and Joanna Abreu Roman picked up their second doubles victory of the day in a 6-3 win. Doubles pairs Bojana Vuksan/Ciarra Gilmore and Erica Dunn/Mireia Birosta each allowed just one point in convincing 6-1 victories.

Abreu Roman continued momentum for the Griffons in the singles with a 6-0, 6-2 win. Ström picked up her first singles victory of the spring season as well. Mireia Birosta wrapped up the sweep in a 6-2, 6-1 win.

Ciarra Gilmore was also playing well for the Griffons in singles, but her match was counted as unfinished due to the Griffons’ sweep.

The Griffons kicked off the 2019 spring season on Friday morning in a 4-0 loss to Newman in the first match of the Stoney Creek Hotel Tennis Classic.

The Griffons’ doubles duo of Ström and Abreu Roman began their season with a dominating 6-1 win. Newman claimed the other two doubles matches, with the teams of Vuksan/Gilmore and Dunn/Birosta both falling 6-3.

Newman swept the first three singles on the match to earn the 4-0 sweep. Ström finished with an unfinished match, but was in control throughout. Ström won the first set 6-1 and was ahead 5-2 before the Jets’ win stopped play. Abreu Roman lost the first set of her singles match, but was ahead 3-0 in the second set at the stoppage.
