WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Carsen Edwards scored 16 of his 21 points in the first half and Purdue beat 25th-ranked Iowa 86-70. Matt Haarms had 14 points and Aaron Wheeler added 10 for the Boilermakers, who have won three straight for the first time since starting the season 4-0.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Megan Gustafson scored 28 points with 17 rebounds but Hannah Stewart had two offensive rebounds off missed free throws on the same possession with less than 20 seconds to play and No. 19 Iowa held off Nebraska 77-71. The Cornhuskers cut a 12-point deficit in the fourth quarter to 73-71 as Leigha Brown made two free throws with 38 seconds to play and 13 seconds later converted a turnover into a jumper.

UNDATED (AP) — For the first time in a decade the AFC’s top seed isn’t led by Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. This time it’s second-year sensation and first-year starter Patrick Mahomes who led the Kansas City Chiefs to the No. 1 seed, their first since 1997. The Patriots have their usual first-round bye and the other four playoff teams are newcomers.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs know their playoff history is littered with disappointments. They haven’t been to the Super Bowl since winning the fourth one. They have a lone appearance in the AFC title game since then. But with Patrick Mahomes leading the way the Chiefs believe they have the pieces to scrub away the stink from all those lackluster performances starting next weekend.

UNDATED (AP) — Five-time All-Pro defensive lineman Jared Allen missed the competition when he retired from the NFL so he went searching for another sport that could fill the need. He decided to take up curling, putting together a foursome of former football stars with the goal of qualifying for the 2022 Olympics in Beijing.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Megan Gustafson scored 28 points with 17 rebounds but Hannah Stewart had two offensive rebounds off missed free throws on the same possession with less than 20 seconds to play and No. 19 Iowa held off Nebraska 77-71 on Thursday night.

The Cornhuskers cut a 12-point deficit in the fourth quarter to 73-71 as Leigha Brown made two free throws with 38 seconds to play and 13 seconds later converted a turnover into a jumper.

Nebraska fouled Tania Davis and made the first of two free throws at 18 seconds with Stewart grabbing the rebound on the second. Alexis Sevillian was fouled and Stewart again grabbed her miss after the first free throw was good at 14 seconds. Even though Gustafson missed two free throws on that extra possession, it took five more seconds off the clock. Gustafson closed it out with two free throws after Nebraska missed a 3-pointer.
Stewart scored 14, and Davis and Kathleen Doyle had 11 points each for the Hawkeyes (10-3, 1-1 Big Ten). Gustafson has an NCAA best 12 double-doubles this season and 67 in her career.

Brown finished with 20 points for Nebraska (7-7, 2-1) and Hannah Whitish had 14.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — There’s no place like home for the Purdue Boilermakers.

Carsen Edwards scored 16 of his 21 points in the first half and Purdue beat 25th-ranked Iowa 86-70 on Thursday night to snap the Hawkeyes’ five-game winning streak.

Purdue is winless on the road so far, but everything came together at Mackey Arena once again as the Boilermakers won their seventh straight home game this season and ninth in a row dating back to 2017-18.

Matt Haarms had 14 points and Aaron Wheeler added 10 for the Boilermakers (9-5, 2-1 Big Ten), who have won three straight for the first time since starting the season 4-0.

Purdue refused to settle for low-percentage shots early and instead attacked inside. That game plan produced 42 points in the paint, and the bench led by Haarms contributed 39 points.

Tyler Cook had 24 points, Isaiah Moss scored 13 and Ryan Kriener finished with 10 for the Hawkeyes (11-3, 0-3), still searching for their first conference victory this season.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Bridget Carleton scored 16 of her 26 points in the first half to lead No. 25 Iowa State in a 96-58 rout of Kansas State in a Big 12 Conference opener. Iowa State (11-2) won its fifth straight game and improves to 10-0 at home. Carleton added nine rebounds and seven assists, and surpassed Alison Lacey (1,620) for ninth in career scoring.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Lindell Wigginton, playing just his second game since missing 10 with a foot injury, scored 17 points and had eight rebounds to help lead Iowa State to a 69-63 victory over Oklahoma State in the Big 12 Conference opener for both teams. Marial Shayok scored 17 points, while also chipping in six rebounds, for Iowa State, while Nick Weiler-Babb had 15 points, five rebounds and four assists. The Cyclones won their fourth straight.

UNDATED (AP) — For the first time in 31 years, Iowa finished non-conference play unbeaten. The 25th-ranked Hawkeyes have also lost their first two Big Ten games, which reduced their margin for error in the conference race to virtually nothing. Iowa resumes Big Ten play tonight (Thursday) when it travels to face Purdue. The Hawkeyes then host No. 24 Nebraska.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Jalen Smith made a driving layup with 3.8 seconds left to break a tie, and Maryland used a late push to get past No. 24 Nebraska 74-72. Bruno Fernando had 18 points and 17 rebounds, and Anthony Cowan Jr. scored 19 points for the Terrapins. James Palmer had 26 points for the Cornhuskers.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Dedric Lawson had 13 points and 15 rebounds, helping No. 5 Kansas hold off No. 23 Oklahoma for a 70-63 victory. Brady Manek had 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Sooners.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The top-seeded Chiefs are spending their week off getting healthy. Star safety Eric Berry, wide receiver Sammy Watkins, running back Spencer Ware and offensive lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif are among those who missed their regular-season finale. Coach Andy Reid is hopeful that several, if not all of them, will be ready for the divisional round next week.

(Radio Iowa) — The Athletic Commission of the State Labor Division issued 101 licenses for events in the last fiscal year and many of those were for M-M-A or Mixed Martial Arts fighting. Labor Commissioner Michael Mauro says they have to do inspections of the fight sites. “M-M-A is very interesting, I find that interesting because we are a health and safety agency. We are trying to protect peoples’ safety and health in the workplace,” Mauro explains, “But what I’m really trying to do there is to make sure they don’t kill each other in the ring.”

He says they have a variety things to go over to determine a bout is safe. “Check the ring, check the rules, check the gloves, we check the whole thing. Make sure they have nothing in the gloves, make sure they have their drug tests and things like that — so we make sure they have a safe environment,” Mauro says. That’s what he finds the most peculiar — is they make sure everything is safe so two fighters can go at it.
“We’re here for safety and health, and I’m trying to make sure nobody gets killed in the fight,” according to Mauro.

Mauro made his comments following a recent state budget hearing.
