Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Kristian Doolittle had 24 points and 11 rebounds to help Oklahoma defeat No. 13 Kansas 81-68 and end the Jayhawks’ run of consecutive Big 12 regular-season titles at 14 years. Brady Manek scored 21 points and Rashard Odomes added 12 for Oklahoma, which boosted its chances of earning an NCAA Tournament bid.
SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Royals catcher Salvador Perez will undergo Tommy John surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right elbow, keeping the six-time All-Star off the field for the entire 2019 season. The decision was made after Perez received a second opinion from Dr. Neal ElAttrache, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ team physician. Perez hurt the elbow during a workout last week.
EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Kenny Goins scored 21 of his career-high 24 points in the first half and Matt McQuaid had a career-best 22, leading No. 9 Michigan State to a 91-76 win over Nebraska. The seniors along with freshman Aaron Henry, who scored a season-high 15 points, made up for Cassius Winston matching his season low with eight points.
UNDATED (AP) — The SEC women’s tournament looks like it will once again come down to No. 5 Mississippi State and No. 12 South Carolina. The teams have played in the conference finals the past three seasons enter this year’s tournament as the top seeds. They played in a drama-filled showdown on Sunday that the Bulldogs won 68-64 and earned Mississippi State the outright SEC regular-season crown instead of sharing the top spot with South Carolina.
NEW YORK (AP) — A former Adidas executive and two others have received prison sentences in the college basketball recruiting scandal that’s tainted two dozen schools. Former Adidas executive James Gatto, business manager Christian Dawkins and amateur league director Merl Code were convicted of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in October for funneling illegal payments to families of recruits to Louisville, Kansas and North Carolina State. Gatto got nine months in prison. Dawkins and Code got six months each.
PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) — Padres prospect Fernando Tatis Jr. and Royals counterpart Adalberto Mondesi have never met, even though their life stories suggest a cup of coffee is long overdue. The sons of big league ballplayers, Tatis and Mondesi are among the most exciting shortstop prospects in baseball. And each is being counted upon to help rebuilding teams to the postseason.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska coach Scott Frost says running back Maurice Washington will be a limited participant in spring football practice as his legal problems in California play out. Frost says Washington may not be at all of the spring practices. He says Washington has other things to worry about right now. Washington faces felony and misdemeanor charges related to his possession and distribution of a video of a former girlfriend being sexually assaulted by two other people in 2016.
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Markis McDuffie had 16 points as Wichita State defeated East Carolina 72-55 on Tuesday night. Asbjorn Midtgaard had 11 points and three blocks for Wichita State (16-13, 9-8 American Athletic Conference).

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Bridget Carleton and Kristin Scott each had a double-double to help No. 19 Iowa State beat Kansas 69-49 on Monday night in the regular-season finale for both teams. Iowa State, which has won three games in a row and five of last six, secured the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye in the conference tournament, which begins Friday.
The Cyclones (23-7, 13-5 Big 12), who tied the program’s single-season records for regular season wins and conference wins, have just one win in the Big 12 tournament since losing to Baylor in the 2013 championship game.
Carleton finished with 20 points and 11 rebounds while Scott scored 12 with a career-high tying 14 boards. Kansas (12-17, 2-16) led 18-17 at the end of the first quarter but Carleton opened the second with back-to-back layups and Iowa State never again trailed.
Christalah Lyons had 13 points for the Jayhawks, who shot just 27.5 percent (19 of 69) from the field. Kansas has lost 10 consecutive games, tied with Brown for the fifth-longest active streak of its kind.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Bridget Carleton and Kristin Scott each had a double-double to help No. 19 Iowa State beat Kansas 69-49 in the regular-season finale for both teams. Iowa State, which has won three games in a row and five of last six, secured the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye in the conference tournament, which begins Friday.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa senior Megan Gustafson has been named the Big Ten player of the year, becoming the first Hawkeye to win the award twice. Gustafson was tabbed for the honor in a vote by the league’s coaches and media members. Gustafson averaged 28.4 points, 13.8 rebounds, and shot 68.7 percent from the field in Big Ten games this season.
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — No. 18 Kansas State is still tied for the Big 12 lead with one game left in the regular season after a 64-52 win at TCU. Barry Brown had 16 points to lead four Wildcats in double-figure scoring. K-State went ahead to stay with a tiebreaking 13-4 run to end the first half before scoring the first 10 points after halftime. The Wildcats are tied with No. 8 Texas Tech for the Big 12 lead after the Red Raiders also won.
UNDATED (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs placed the franchise tag on outside linebacker Dee Ford, making official a decision the team had been leaning toward throughout the offseason. Ford is coming off the best season of his career, piling up 13 sacks and forcing an NFL-leading seven fumbles.
SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — In a power-happy era of Major League Baseball, a few clubs believe there is a market inefficiency when it comes to speed. One of them is the Kansas City Royals, who have three of the top eight base-stealers in baseball on their roster. The idea is to create havoc between the bags, producing runs in an old-school way at a fraction of the price.
UNDATED (AP) — Jim Delany will step down as commissioner of the Big Ten Conference in June 2020. Over three decades, the 71-year-old Delany helped the Big Ten grow to 14 schools, launched the first conference television network and helped construct the College Football Playoff. He also protected the league’s relationship with the Rose Bowl. Big Ten revenues soared under his leadership and he became one of the most powerful figures in college sports.
