AMES, Iowa (AP) — George Niang scored 15 points and Iowa State pounded Nebraska-Omaha 93-65 Sunday night. Niang, a freshman, scored 11 of his points in the first half as the Cyclones (7-3) led 52-28 at the break. Iowa State was coming back after a loss Friday night to Iowa. Iowa State led 18-2 before Nebraska-Omaha (2-9) made six shots in a row to cut the lead to four points. But they only made four shots the rest of the half in 22 attempts.

Will Clyburn, who did not score in the Iowa game, finished with 11 points against the Mavericks. Anthony Booker and Tyrus McGee also had 11 points for the Cyclones, while Percy Gibson and Chris Babb scored 10 apiece. John Karhoff scored 13 points to lead Nebraska-Omaha, in its second year in Division I. These teams last met in 1991, when Iowa State won 114-57.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Iowa defensive back Micah Hyde had another run-in with police over the weekend and now faces a disorderly conduct charge.  The Quad-City Times reports that Hyde was ticketed Sunday after Iowa City police responded to a loud party in his apartment building.

Hyde, who started 38 games for Iowa before his career ended last month, was also arrested in October on suspicion of public intoxication and interference with official acts.  Hyde pleaded guilty to interference and was ordered to pay nearly $400 in fines, but he faces a Dec. 27 court date on the intoxication charge.  Hyde is scheduled to make his first court appearance on the disorderly conduct charge on Jan. 24.

Browns win third straight, roll Chiefs 30-7

December 9th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

CLEVELAND (AP) — Rookie Travis Benjamin’s electrifying 93-yard punt return touchdown gave Cleveland momentum and the Browns won their third straight game, 30-7 over the emotionally drained Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Benjamin’s game-changing runback helped the Browns (5-8) continue their resurgence under second-year coach Pat Shurmur, whose future in Cleveland remains uncertain. The Browns have one more win than last season, and their longest winning streak since 2009.

Trent Richardson had a pair of 1-yard TD runs for Cleveland. Jamaal Charles ran for 165 yards, breaking off an 80-yard TD run on the game’s first play for Kansas City. It was the first road game for the Chiefs (2-11) following linebacker Jovan Belcher’s suicide. The 25-year-old killed his girlfriend at their home before driving to the team’s practice facility on Dec. 1 and shooting himself.

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — Marc Sonnen connected on seven 3-pointers and had 21 points to lead Northern Iowa to an 82-77 overtime victory over George Mason, snapping Patriots’ 14-game home winning streak. Anthony James scored five of his 19 points in overtime and Seth Tuttle hit six straight free throws in the game’s final 22 seconds to seal the victory for the Panthers (6-3). Tuttle finished with 18 points, going 12-for-14 from the foul line.

George Mason (6-4) got 20 points from Sherrod Wright, but was undone by some costly miscues and inconsistent play from point guards Bryon Allen and Corey Edwards. They combined for 21 points but also had eight turnovers between them. George Mason trailed 80-77 before Allen committed a turnover with three seconds remaining in overtime. The Patriots’ Johnny Williams was forced to immediately foul Tuttle, who hit his final two free throws to provide the final margin.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Chris Hines scored 19 points and Ben Simons added 15, leading Drake to a 74-64 victory over IPFW on Saturday night in the first-ever meeting between the schools. Hines and Simon hit three 3-pointers apiece.

Chiefs Roster Moves

Sports

December 8th, 2012 by admin

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Chiefs have released offensive lineman Hayworth Hicks and elevated wide receiver Josh Bellamy from the practice squad to the 53-man roster for Sunday’s game at Cleveland.

Bellamy joined the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in April and has been a member of the practice squad all season. He played in 26 games in two seasons at Louisville, where he caught 53 passes for 681 yards.

Hicks was claimed off waivers by the Chiefs on Nov. 29 when there were a number of injuries to their offensive line. He was inactive for last Sunday’s win over Carolina, which snapped Kansas City’s eight-game skid.

Hicks has also spent time with the Colts and Jets this season.
