STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Marcus Smart scored 21 points and hit the winning layup with 3.1 seconds left to lift Oklahoma State to a 78-76 victory against Iowa State on Wednesday night. Smart zipped back and forth beyond the free throw line trying to lose Iowa State’s Will Clyburn before knifing into the lane and releasing a runner over Georges Niang that banked off the glass and in for the Cowboys (14-5, 4-3 Big 12).
Tyrus McGee missed a desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer for the Cyclones (14-6, 4-3), who had two chances in a wild final few seconds. For a moment, it appeared Chris Babb would have a chance at two free throws to tie it up with less than a second left before officials huddled and ruled that Iowa State should instead get the ball out of bounds. Babb ended up with a season-high 19 points to lead Iowa State.
CARBONDALE, Ill. (AP) — Chris Hines scored 12 points and Richard Carter hit a key 3-pointer in the final minute as Drake defeated Southern Illinois 61-56 Wednesday night. Southern Illinois (8-13, 1-9 Missouri Valley) overcame a 10-point second-half deficit and tied the game at 54-54 when Josh Swan hit 1 of 2 free throws with 1:33 remaining. But Carter followed with a 3 with 1:05 left and Drake (10-11, 4-6) hit 4 of 6 free throws the rest of the way to close the game on a 7-2 run.
Jordan Clarke added 11 points and Joey King had 10 for the Bulldogs, who hit 8 of 15 3-point attempts and shot 52 percent overall from the field. That helped overcome 20 turnovers. Desmar Jackson had 15 points, nine rebounds and six assists for the Salukis, who have lost five straight. T.J. Lindsay added 11 points and Swan had 10.
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Angel Goodrich forced overtime with a 3-pointer with 16 seconds left in regulation, then scored seven of her team’s 13 points in the extra session, as Kansas erased an 18-point second-half deficit Wednesday night and stunned No. 23 Iowa State 78-75. Iowa State looked to have the game in hand after Anna Prins’ layup gave the Cyclones (14-5, 5-4 Big 12) a 55-37 lead with 8:56 left. But the Jayhawks (13-6, 4-4) outscored ISU 28-10 the rest of regulation, capping the comeback with Goodrich’s 3-pointer.
In overtime, Goodrich — who finished with 24 points, 10 assists and five steals — made a jumper and a 3-pointer before hitting two free throws to help seal the win. Natalie Knight added 21 points and Carolyn Davis had 15 for Kansas. Brynn Williamson scored 19 points for Iowa State, while Hallie Christofferson added 18 and Chelsea Poppens had 12 points and 12 rebounds.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A Republican lawmaker wants to make it a felony for a mother to pass illegal drugs to a fetus. The bill would make passing illegal substances from a mother to a fetus a Class B felony, punishable by up to five years in prison or up to a $7,500 fine. Republican Rep. Clel Baudler of Greenfield says his bill sends the message that “using illegal drugs will not be tolerated” and that incarceration is an effective means to force drug-using pregnant women to get clean. The bill was introduced Wednesday to the House Public Safety Committee, which Baudler heads. Baudler, a former state trooper, says he expects opposition from Democrats.

Page County Sheriff Lyle Palmer, Wednesday, said his deputies investigated three separate incidents of alleged assault this week. Early Wednesday morning, deputies were dispatched to 210 Church Street in Coin, where 23-year old Trevor Sunderman told them he was allegedly assaulted by 38-year old Cody Enneking, of 208 Church Street, also in Coin. Following an investigation, Sunderman declined to press charges, but a record of the complaint was filed for future reference.
Late Tuesday morning, Page County deputies were call to 608 Main Street, in Braddyville, with regard to a 9-1-1 call pertaining to a domestic situation. Upon their arrival, deputies spoke with the victim, 20-year Joseph Hull, and a witness at the residence. Following an investigation, 19-year old Tianna Martin, of Clarinda, was arrested on a charge of Domestic Abuse Assault. The woman was brought to the Page County Jail and held without bond, pending an appearance before a magistrate.
And, Sunday evening, Page County deputies were call to 509 South Main Street in Shambaugh, to investigate a reported domestic argument. The resident and complainant, 30-year old Matthew Olson, claimed he was assaulted by 29-year old Joni Olson, of Stanberry, MO., after he asked her to leave the home, and she refused. The alleged incident was the result of a child custody dispute. Statements were taken and forwarded to the Page County Attorney for review, but no charges were filed.
A rescue unit responding to an emergency call Wednesday afternoon in Red Oak, ended-up colliding with a patrol car, thanks to slippery road conditions. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports the 2011 Red Oak Fire Department’s International rescue vehicle was responding to an emergency on Joy Street, when the vehicle slid down the ice and snow covered street and crashed into a 2011 Dodge Charger Red Oak Police Department patrol car. No injuries were reported.
The rescue unit sustained $500 in damage to its right rear bumper, and the patrol car sustained between $1,500 and $2,000 damage to its front end. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by personnel from the Red Oak Police Department and Red Oak Fire and Rescue.
