KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Hall of Fame quarterback and broadcaster Len Dawson will be honored with the Lamar Hunt Award for Professional Football at the 101 Awards gala on Saturday. The award was created in 2007 to honor the life and legacy of the Chiefs founder. It goes to an individual or group that has played a role in shaping the NFL.

Dawson led the Chiefs to its only Super Bowl championship and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1987. He began broadcasting Chiefs games in 1985, and in 2012 was awarded the hall’s Pete Rozelle Award for radio and television contributions.

Previous winners include The Foolish Club, the name taken on by the eight original AFL owners; coaches Tony Dungy and Don Shula; quarterback Roger Staubach; and Monday Night Football.

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — Jaime Garcia will seek a second opinion on his surgically repaired shoulder from Dr. James Andrews before deciding his next course of action, St. Louis General Manager John Mozeliak said on Tuesday. Garcia requested the second opinion even before consulting with Cardinals team doctors.

Mozeliak didn’t go into detail about the findings of Garcia’s Monday exam, other to say that the initial results were encouraging. “Based on the MRI and overall, we feel good,” Mozeliak said. “I would like to see what the other doctor has to say and we will go from there.”

The UNI basketball team will close out the home portion of their schedule tonight with a match-up against Southern Illinois. The Panthers are currently in a four-way tie for third place in the Missouri Valley standings, and UNI coach Ben Jacobson says they need to try to keep pace against an improving Saluki team.

UNI dropped a two-point decision in their first game against Southern Illinois nearly six weeks ago. Jacobson says that in the time between their meetings, the Salukis have had a young big man step up into a much larger role. Jacobson says that Southern will present some challenges for the Panther defense.

Tonight’s game at the McLeod Center tips off at 7:00.

The Iowa State Cyclones host West Virginia in Big 12 play. The Cyclones are 9-5 and in the hunt for a second place finish in the league race. The Cyclones will be out to avenge a 25 point loss to the Mountaineers in the first meeting. The Cyclones are 21-5 overall.

Winning on the road is tough but it is nearly impossible without good defense. Minnesota shot a sizzling 61 percent for the game, including 11 of 19 from three point as the Gophers beat the Iowa Hawkeyes 95-89 as the Hawks continue to tumble down the Big Ten standings. The Gophers took control by outscoring the Hawks 30-15 to close the opening half.

Iowa junior forward Aaron White finished with 21 points. White said the Hawkeyes had too many defensive breakdowns. Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said the Hawks don’t have time to hang their heads as they return to action Thursday at Indiana.

Roy Devyn Marble led the Hawks with 24 points. Iowa is 8-6 in the Big Ten and 19-8 overall.
