In August, Oklahoma, Texas and Iowa State were the talk of the Big 12 Conference. The Sooners, Longhorns and Cyclones all head into November looking to use bye weeks to bounce back from crushing defeats. Oklahoma (7-1, 4-1 Big 12) dropped five spots to No. 10 in the Top 25 and is now on the outside looking in at the playoff after losing at Kansas State, 48-41. Texas (5-3, 3-2) fell out of the Top 25 following a 37-27 loss at TCU, and so did Iowa State after falling at home to Oklahoma State, 34-27. All three of the preseason darlings, let down...
AMES, Iowa (AP) — At times it felt as though it might happen all over again to Oklahoma, which couldn't shake pesky Iowa State for the second consecutive year. This time the Sooners survived — thanks to an All-America-type performance from their new star quarterback. Kyler Murray threw for 348 yards and three touchdowns and the fifth-ranked Sooners held off Iowa State 37-27 on Saturday in the Big 12 opener for both teams. Marquise Brown had 191 yards receiving and a TD for the Sooners (3-0, 1-0 Big 12), who extended the nation's longest road wi...
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Kansas is going back to the Final Four. It's hard to argue that Duke shouldn't be headed there as well after the most riveting show of the NCAA tournament. Malik Newman and the top-seeded Jayhawks got past their Elite Eight road block Sunday, knocking off second-seeded Duke 85-81 in overtime to clinch the program's first trip to the Final Four since 2012. Newman scored all 13 of the Jayhawks' points in OT and finished with a career-high 32 to lead Kansas (31-7). The Jayhawks will face fellow top seed Villanova on Saturday in...
AMES, Iowa (AP) — One week after letting Oklahoma break its heart, No. 12 Oklahoma State rallied late to stun 24th-ranked Iowa State — handing the Cyclones one of the most devastating defeats in school history. Mason Rudolph threw for 376 yards and three touchdowns — including two in the final 5:55 — and Oklahoma State beat Iowa State 49-42 on Saturday to keep its Big 12 title hopes alive. Justice Hill had 134 yards and three TD runs for the Cowboys (8-2, 5-2 Big 12, No. 15 CFP), who remain in a tie for second place in the league with two gam...
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Oklahoma State and Iowa State can still reach the Big 12 title game. But Saturday's meeting might be an elimination game for two teams coming off losses that altered the trajectory of their season. The 12th-ranked Cowboys (7-2, 4-2 Big 12, No. 15 CFP) and 24th-ranked Cyclones (6-3, 4-2, No. 21 CFP) are now tied with West Virginia for third in the conference behind Oklahoma and TCU, both 5-1 in the Big 12. Since the Sooners and Horned Frogs also play on Saturday, the winner in Ames and the loser in Norman will own the same B...
AMES, Iowa (AP) — The challenge for Iowa State after stunning Oklahoma on the road was to see if it could handle success. Kansas made sure the Cyclones didn't have to face much adversity on a soaking wet Saturday in Ames. David Montgomery ran for a career-high three touchdowns and Iowa State throttled Kansas 45-0 for its second straight win. Trever Ryen added a 68-yard punt return for a score for the Cyclones (4-2, 2-1 Big 12), who held the Jayhawks to a season-low 106 yards — Iowa State's least yards allowed since 1963 — and shut out a Big 12...
A look at the things to watch this weekend in the Big 12. GAME OF THE WEEKEND: Kansas at Baylor on Saturday. If the Jayhawks (23-3, 11-2 Big 12) prevail, their 13th straight conference title will be all but shored up, because they'll be at least three games ahead of everyone else in the loss column with just four games left. Kansas follows with TCU, Texas and Oklahoma — so second-place Baylor (22-4, 9-4) is a longshot for the Big 12 title anyway. But the Bears are in contention for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, and a win over the J...
AMES, Iowa (AP) — For once, Iowa State gave its fans a game they didn't have to sweat out until the final buzzer. Naz Mitrou-Long scored 23 points and Iowa State cruised past Oklahoma 80-64 on Saturday, sending the Sooners to their seventh straight defeat. Mitrou-Long buried five 3s for the Cyclones (15-9, 7-5 Big 12), who blew the game open with a 21-4 run midway through the second half. It was just the second time in 12 games decided by more than 10 points for Iowa State — which followed an overtime win over No. 3 Kansas with an ago...
AMES, Iowa (AP) — It seemed for months like Iowa State was as unlucky as any team in the country. The Cyclones finally caught some breaks Tuesday — at the expense of the equally unfortunate Kansas State Wildcats. Senior Matt Thomas scored a career-high 25 points and Iowa State held off a furious Kansas State rally to win 70-65, its fourth victory in six games. Naz Mitrou-Long had 13 and Monte Morris scored 12 for the Cyclones (13-6, 5-3 Big 12), who blew a 46-26 lead but survived after Mitrou-Long's steal and free throws with 21 seconds lef...
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Baker Mayfield threw four more touchdown passes for the streaking Oklahoma Sooners. Mayfield completed 25 of 34 passes for 328 yards and 12th-ranked Oklahoma held off Iowa State 34-24 on Thursday night for its sixth straight victory. Dede Westbrook caught seven passes for 131 yards and a score for the Sooners (7-2, 6-0 Big 12). They beat the Cyclones (1-8, 0-6) for the 18th time in a row and the 74th time in 81 meetings. Mayfield threw TD passes to Westbrook and Dimitri Flowers in the final 4:16 of the first half, extending h...
