JUPITER, Fla. (AP) – Wei-Yin Chen threw two shutout innings in his spring debut for the Miami Marlins, who lost 3-2 to the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday. Chen allowed three hits and got some help when right fielder Giancarlo Stanton easily threw out Brayan Pena at the plate to end the second.

The Cardinals’ Matt Holliday was scheduled to make his spring training debut but was scratched because of tightness in his back. Holliday was in the lineup at first base. He has been a left fielder his entire career but has been working at first some in camp. St. Louis starter Marco Gonzales allowed four hits and two runs, one earned, in 2 2-3 innings. Anthony Garcia’s two-out, two-run double in the eighth put the Cardinals ahead.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – Perry Ellis scored 22 points, including a hook shot over Iowa State’s Georges Niang to ice the game, and No. 1 Kansas stretched its nation-leading home winning streak to 42 games with an 85-78 victory over the 21st-ranked Cyclones on Saturday. Devonte Graham and Wayne Selden, Jr. finished with 16 points apiece for Kansas (27-4, 15-3 Big 12), which has won 33 straight home finales.

Ellis, playing in his final game at Allen Fieldhouse, spearheaded an 11-0 run over the final 4:45 with a hustle play. He ended it with an emphatic dunk. Kansas looked poise to break the game open with 13:21 left in the game, when Mason slipped his way through two defenders and finished at the rim. Iowa State responded with a 13-2 run to grab its largest – and last – lead at 63-59. Niang led the Cyclones (21-10, 10-8) with 22 points and Jameel McKay added 19 points and nine rebounds.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Wes Washpun scored 20 points and Jeremy Morgan sank the go-ahead 3-pointer in overtime Saturday to lift fourth-seeded Northern Iowa past top-seeded Wichita State 57-52 and into the championship game of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament.

Trailing by a point with two minutes left in overtime, Northern Iowa (21-12) got a free throw from Morgan to tie it at 52 before he hit the go-ahead 3-pointer on an assist from Wyatt Lohaus. The Panthers then forced a turnover and Washpun hit a jumper to extend the advantage to five with 18 seconds left.

Markis McDuffie missed a 3-pointer at the other end and Klint Carlson hauled in the defensive rebound to clinch it. Northern Iowa trailed most of the game but stayed close and forced overtime with Wyatt Lohaus’ layup to tie it at 47 at the end of regulation. Anton Grady led Wichita State (24-8) with 14 points and Ron Baker had 12. The Panthers play the winner of second-seeded Evansville and sixth-seeded Indiana State.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Josie Blankespoor scored the go-ahead basket with 2 minutes left and Orange City Unity Christian held on during a hectic final minute to edge Hull Western Christian 42-41 Friday night and win its second straight Class 2A state championship.

Western Christian had a chance in the closing seconds after Ashtyn Veerbeek sank the first of two free throws with 6.5 seconds remaining to make it a one-point game.

She missed the second and Blankespoor rebounded but was tied up. The possession arrow favored Western so the Wolfpack kept the ball.

But Erika Feenstra missed a layup and Western couldn’t get off a second shot before the buzzer, allowing the Knights to escape with the title.

Anna Kiel led Unity Christian (25-1) with 13 points and 15 rebounds and was voted captain of the all-tournament team. Veerbeek led Western Christian (24-3) with 13 points.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – Dayo Olabode scored 20 points and made a 3-pointer in the final minute to help Texas Tech pull away and beat Iowa State 89-84 Friday night in a Big 12 Conference Tournament opener.

The ninth-seeded Lady Raiders (13-17) move on to face top-seeded Baylor on Saturday.

Seanna Johnson scored 28 points and Bridget Carleton had 27 for No. 8 seed Iowa State (13-17). Jadda Buckley had 13 points and 12 assists.

The Cyclones never trailed in the fourth quarter until Sanders’ jumper gave Texas Tech a 76-74 lead with three minutes left. It was tied 80-all before Olabode made a 3, Texas Tech made all six free-throw attempts, and Carleton made just 1 of 4 field goals in the last 1:15.
