KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Perry Ellis scored a career-high 23 points, and seventh-ranked Kansas pulled away in the second half to beat Iowa State 88-73 on Friday night and reach the Big 12 tournament title game. Jeff Withey and Elijah Johnson added 14 points each, and Ben McLemore finished with 10 for the top-seeded Jayhawks (28-5), who advanced to play No. 11 Kansas State or No. 14 Oklahoma State on Saturday night for its sixth Big 12 tournament championship.
Georges Niang scored 19 points and Melvin Ejim had 17 for the fifth-seeded Cyclones (22-11), who were trying to turn the tables after losing to the Jayhawks twice in overtime this season. Instead, Kansas won for the 16th time in their last 17 meetings. Ellis was a big reason why.

An unknown medical condition resulted in an accident Thursday evening in Montgomery County that sent one person to the hospital. The Iowa State Patrol says 25-year old Bryant Hunter, of Stanton, passed out at the wheel of his 1997 Chevy pickup, as the vehicle was traveling east on Highway 34 northeast of Villisca, at around 5:35-p.m., Thursday. The pickup entered the south ditch, came out of the ditch and crossed both lanes of the highway, before vaulting a small waterway in the north ditch. When the truck hit the ditch embankment, its airbags deployed. The vehicle came to rest against the embankment. Hunter was transported by Villisca Rescue to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital in Red Oak.
Iowa womens basketball coach Lisa Bluder believes the Hawkeyes will be one of the teams selected on Monday night for the NCAA Tournament. The Hawkeyes finished the season with a record of 20-12. She said “With a 37 RPI, and we play in the second toughest conference in America, we’ve got good quality wins, so I feel like….we’re in.”
Bluder says this year’s team has had great leadership and she hopes they get a chance to finish in the NCAA Tournament. She says “Our Captains…Jaime, Trisha and Morgan, were voted on by the players. So obviously the players had the respect for those three. But I think those three didn’t just take the title and sit on it. They took the title and tried to learn how to be better Captains. They embraced the role…wanted to be good Captains….wanted this team to be successful because they knew it was going to be their legacy, their Senior leadership, their Captain role that was going top be tagged to the season. So I think they were always determined to always do a good job with that.”
Bluder says she would like to see the Big Ten women’s tournament move to same weekend as the men. The women played thir tournament last week in Chicago. The men’s tournament is this week. Iowa could play at home in the tournament. Carver-Hawkeye Arena will host the first two round beginning March 24th.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs signed veteran offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz on Friday in an attempt to bolster their depth. Schwartz, who can play both guard and tackle, started 16 games for Carolina in 2010, but missed the following season with a hip injury. He spent last season as a backup in Minnesota.
The former seventh-round pick could compete with Donald Stephenson for the job at right tackle, which came open when the Chiefs released Eric Winston. But Schwartz admitted he’s more adept at guard, where he could compete with Jon Asamoah and Jeff Allen for playing time.
Schwartz said on a conference call with reporters that he’s been told by the Chiefs there will be open competition, and that “the best five will roll.”
A Council Bluffs woman was sentenced today (Friday) to serve 5-years in prison after being convicted on a charge of distributing 5-grams or more of methamphetamine. U-S District Court Judge Robert Pratt handed down the 60-month prison term against 46-year old Lisa Marie Barrett. He also ordered the woman to serve five-years of supervised release following her imprisonment. Barrett was sentenced after pleading guilty to distributing 6.8-grams of 95-percent pure meth during a undercover sting operations conducted by the Southwest Iowa Narcotics Task Force (SWINE).
Her case was part of a larger investigation conducted by task force, which also resulted in the arrest of three other individuals. David Fisher was sentenced to nearly 10-years in prison plus 5-years of supervised release. Nicholas Franks was sentenced to serve slightly more than 11-years in prison plus five years of supervised release, and, Steven Etherington was sentenced to 12 1/2-years in prison, plus five-years of supervised release.
For her role in the distribution of meth, Barrett must also forfeit more than $1,060 and the various drug-related paraphernalia seized at the time of her arrest. She remains in the custody of the U-S Marshal’s Service, pending designation of the Federal Bureau of Prisons facility at which she will serve her sentence.
The case against her and the other defendants was prosecuted by the U-S Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
