LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – Svi Mykhailiuk had 17 points, Devonte Graham added 10 and 11 assists and No. 6 Kansas beat Texas 80-70. The Jayhawks used a strong night from seniors Mykhailiuk and Graham in what was the pair and walk-on Clay Young’s senior night and final game at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas secured the outright Big 12 title.

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) – Mike Minor has morphed from being kicked out of the Kansas City Royals clubhouse in 2016 as an impostor to competing for a spot in the Texas Rangers’ rotation. He signed a three-year $28 million contract with the Rangers in December to start after having success as a Royal reliever last season.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) – Jevon Carter scored 21 points and Daxter Miles Jr. added 18 in their final home game, and No. 20 West Virginia rode a hot start to an 84-74 victory over No. 12 Texas Tech.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Texas sophomore guard Andrew Jones has been released from the hospital and will continue his leukemia treatment on an outpatient basis.

He called the move a “great night and a big step for me and my family.” He will stay in the Houston while his treatment continues.

National Headlines

SEATTLE (AP) – With Olympic prodigies having just dazzled audiences worldwide, parents in the U.S. are reconciling the thrill of the gold with their fears from recent sexual abuse scandals in elite youth sports. High-profile cases of sexual abuse in gymnastics, swimming and other sports have jolted many parents who believe athletics can be an important part of their child’s development. Some now feel compelled to be more cautious in monitoring their child’s contact with coaches and other adults.

NEW YORK (AP) – The Golden State Warriors will be skipping the White House when they come to Washington to play the Wizards this week. The traditional champions’ invitation was never granted from President Donald Trump – and it appeared the Warriors might have declined it, anyway. So they plan to spend their day in the city with local children Tuesday. The White House visit is traditionally scheduled during the NBA champions’ trip to face the Washington Wizards the following season. The Warriors play the Wizards on Wednesday.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) – The U.S. Open has become the last of the major golf championships to jump on the aggregate playoff bandwagon. The change is takes effect immediately and would be used at Shinnecock Hills on Long Island in June if there is a tie after 72 holes. The U.S. Golf Association also decided to make its other three open championships two-hole playoffs – the U.S. Women’s Open, U.S. Senior Open and U.S. Senior Women’s Open. The Masters was the first major to abandon the 18-hole playoff in 1976.

UNDATED (AP) – Pitcher Feliz Hernandez, who was slowed by injuries last year, was forced to leave his exhibition debut early Monday after being struck in his pitching arm by a line drive. The Mariners said a precautionary X-ray of his right forearm was negative. Hernandez was listed as day-to-day and will be re-evaluated Tuesday.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – James Harden had 26 points and Luc Mbah a Moute (look BAH’-ah MOO’-tay) scored 15 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter to lift the Houston Rockets to their 13th straight win with a 96-85 victory over the Utah Jazz. Playing the second side of a back-to-back set at high altitude, nothing seemed to come easy for the Rockets but the Jazz committed 22 turnovers, many of them unforced, to ease the pressure.

NEW YORK (AP) – A scorching third period pushed the Golden State Warriors to a 125-111 blowout over the New York Knicks on Monday night. The Warriors improved to 3-0 since the All-Star break and beat the Knicks at home for the eighth straight time. Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder got by the Orlando Magic 112-106. Paul George led the way for OKC with 26 points. Orlando was held to 43 points on 37 percent shooting in the second half.

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) – Chris Clarke tipped in a missed shot with 4 seconds remaining Monday night, and Virginia Tech stunned No. 5 Duke 64-63. The Hokies had trailed almost the entire game before Nickeil Alexander-Walker’s jumper sailed over the rim and Clarke grabbed it and laid it in. Alexander-Walker led the Hokies with 17 points, Justin Bibbs had 14 on his Senior Night and Kerry Blackshear Jr. added 13.

Kansas Beats Texas to win Big 12 outright

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – Svi Mykhailiuk had 17 points, Devonte Graham added 10 and 11 assists and No. 6 Kansas beat Texas 80-70 Monday night.

The Jayhawks (24-6, 13-4 Big 12) used a strong night from seniors Mykhailiuk and Graham in what was the pair and walk-on Clay Young’s senior night and final game in Allen Fieldhouse. Their powerful start helped them control the game early, forcing the Longhorns (17-13, 7-10 Big 12) to burn four timeouts in the first half.

Kerwin Roach II led the way for Texas, scoring 18 points and dishing out eight assists just days after hitting the game-winner against Oklahoma State. Jacob Young posted 14 points and five rebounds.

The Longhorns were without star freshman Mo Bamba, who missed the game with a toe injury. Bamba, who leads the team in rebounds (10.6) and is second in points (13) per game, had 22 points, 15 rebounds and a career-high eight blocks against Kansas back in December.

Udoka Azubuike had another strong night down low for the Jayhawks, scoring a game-high 20 points and making 10 of 11 shots. Azubuike led the nation in field goal percentage entering the game (77.1 percent).

Kansas has now won 35 consecutive home finales, dating back to the 1983-84 season. The Jayhawks are locked in to the Big 12 tournament’s No. 1 seed.

Kansas is now 31-8 all-time against Texas, and has won all of the last nine meetings.

BIG PICTURE

Kansas seals an outright Big 12 championship after clinching at least a share of its 14th straight conference crown Saturday with a win over Texas Tech.

Texas remains on the bubble of the NCAA Tournament. If the Longhorns aren’t chosen, it will be just the third time in the last 20 years they’ve missed the NCAAs.

UP NEXT

Kansas wraps up its season on the road against Oklahoma State Saturday.

Texas will finish the year with a home tilt against No. 20 West Virginia.

Hart-photo Reno County

RENO COUNTY  —A Kansas woman has been convicted of causing a fatal accident on Jan. 21 of last year after she entered a plea Monday.

Jane E. Hart, 66, Hutchinson, entered a no contest plea to one count of involuntary manslaughter, a level four felony, with a maximum sentence of more than 14 years in prison. However, the state will recommend a lesser penalty while the defense hinted it will seek a non-prison sanction.

Hart pulled in front of a motorcycle at 30th and Prairie Dunes Drive, which killed 62-year-old Charles Caselton from Burrton.

According to the Reno County Sheriff’s Department, Hart was eastbound on 30th Street and made a left turn onto Prairie Dunes Drive. She struck a motorcycle that was traveling westbound. Caselton was pronounced dead at the scene. The autopsy showed he died from multiple blunt force trauma.

Hart had a blood alcohol level of .17.  Hart is scheduled for sentencing on April 13.

SHAWNEE COUNTY – Law enforcement authorities are investigating an armed robbery and asking the public to help identify suspects.

Just after 9 p.m. Sunday, police responded to a local convenience store in the 100 Block of SW 37th in Topeka for report of an armed robbery, according to Lt. Colleen Stuart.

No charges in fatal Kansas officer-involved shooting

GARDEN CITY, Kan. (AP) — Authorities have determined that no charges will be filed in a fatal officer-involved shooting in southwest Kansas.

Umana-Garcia- photo KDOC

Officers fatally shot 29-year-old Cristino Umana-Garcia last October in rural Finney County. Undersheriff John Andrews says officers shot Umana-Garcia after he became aggressive and threatened them.

Garden City Police Chief Michael Utz said Monday he found the officers didn’t violate local policies and procedures, federal law or state law.

The Haskell County Attorney says all reports from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and video footage from the case showed no charges were warranted against the two officers involved in the shooting.

Authorities say all available evidence suggests that both officers reasonably believe that they were in danger when they fired the shots.
