IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Tyler Cook had 17 points and 13 rebounds, Luka Garza scored 17 and 22nd-ranked Iowa cruised past Northern Iowa 77-54 for its second straight win. Freshman Joe Wieskamp added 10 points for the Hawkeyes, who opened the game with a 25-7 run and never looked back. The teams had split the last 14 meetings _ but the bigger and more athletic Hawkeyes ran roughshod over the scuffling Panthers from the opening tip.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Michael Jacobson scored 22 points, Marial Shayok had 16 of his 18 in the second half and Iowa State rallied to beat Drake 77-68 for its sixth win in seven games. Freshman Talen Horton scored 15 points with nine rebounds and four assists for the Cyclones, who used a late 12-0 run to put away the pesky Bulldogs.

DAYTONA, Fla. (AP) — Trent Solsma threw four touchdown passes, including an 16-yard scoring strike to Connor Niles with 1:29 to play, to help Morningside beat Benedictine 35-28 at Daytona Stadium for its first NAIA championship. Solsma, the NAIA player of the year, was 19-of-36 passing for 292 yards with two interceptions.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Dedric Lawson had 28 points and 12 rebounds, Lagerald Vick scored 29 and top-ranked Kansas made enough free throws down the stretch to beat No. 17 Villanova 74-71 in a Final Four rematch.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Barry Brown had 21 points and No. 25 Kansas State beat Georgia State 71-59. Brown scored the first eight points for the Wildcats and was key during a later 7-0 run. K-State let the Panthers hang around with 19 turnovers leading to 25 points as Georgia State again competed well with a Power Five school after wins over Georgia and Alabama this season.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Top-seeded Stanford won an NCAA-record eighth national title, in five hard-fought sets over defending champion Nebraska. Kathryn Plummer had 19 kills and 10 digs and Holly Campbell added 15 kills for the Cardinal, who finished the season on a 32-game winning streak. Audriana Fitzmorris had 14 kills and Morgan Hentz had 32 digs for Stanford, which won 28-26, 22-25, 25-16, 15-25 and 15-12 despite hitting only .250.
