BYU dominates No. 23 Kansas in 34-point blowout
Feb 15, 2025; Salt Lake City, Utah, USA; Kansas Jayhawks center Hunter Dickinson (1) recovers a rebound against the Utah Utes during the second half at the Jon M. Huntsman Center. Mandatory Credit: Christopher Creveling-Imagn Images Richie Saunders scored a game-high 22 points and BYU led for all but 27 seconds of a 91-57 Big 12 Conference blowout of No. 23 Kansas on Tuesday in Provo, Utah.
Trevin Knell added 15 points and eight rebounds for the Cougars (18-8, 9-6), who bombarded the Jayhawks with 14 3-pointers in 36 attempts and shot 51.5 percent from the field. Mawot Mag tallied 13 points, going 3 of 4 on 3-pointers, while Keba Keita contributed 10 points and nine rebounds. Dallin Hall chipped in 10 points and eight assists.
Hunter Dickinson scored 12 points and grabbed a game-high 14 rebounds for Kansas, while reserve David Coit added 11 points, but it wasn’t close to being enough. The Jayhawks made only 36.5 percent of their shots, including 9 of 32 on 3-pointers, and were thumped 43-33 on the boards.
Hoping to regroup after suffering a 74-67 upset loss Saturday night at Utah, Kansas (17-9, 8-7) instead was outclassed in every aspect of the game. It turned the ball over 15 times, 14 of them via steals, and forced just 10 turnovers. It allowed a whopping 20 fastbreak points.
BYU opened up a 20-point halftime lead and simply kept adding on against a helpless opponent. The margin reached 30 at the 14:06 mark of the second half via a 3-pointer by Egor Demin and climbed to 38 in the final 2 1/2 minutes.
The pregame storylines concerned BYU’s need for a signature win to help its NCAA Tournament chances and the Jayhawks’ desire to simply play sharper basketball. It didn’t take long to see who would get what it wanted.
Knell splashed a 3-pointer to start the game and the Cougars led 8-0 before Kansas got on the board. The margin reached 10 at the 14:42 mark when Keita dunked off a lob pass from Knell.
The margin stayed in double figures for the game’s final 26:16, reaching 46-26 at the break as Knell drilled a corner 3-pointer with 1:18 left.

Report: A's C Shea Langeliers (knee) could miss rest of season
Jul 18, 2026; West Sacramento, California, USA; Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers (23) throws to first base for an out against the Washington Nationals during the fifth inning at Sutter Health Park. Mandatory Credit: Dennis Lee-Imagn Images Athletics’ All-Star catcher Shea Langeliers could miss the remainder of the season after tearing the meniscus in his right knee while running the bases, ESPN reported on Sunday morning.
Should he opt for surgery, he is expected to miss the rest of the season.
The Athletics placed Langeliers on the 10-day injured list Sunday — retroactive to Saturday — and recalled fellow catcher Brian Serven from Triple-A Las Vegas.
Backup Jonah Heim, a former All-Star, is expected to receive the bulk of the work in Langeliers’ absence.
Langeliers, 28, is batting .263 with 23 homers and 51 RBIs in 93 games this season. He leads American League catchers in homers and hits (99).
He is hitting .240 with 111 homers and 288 RBIs since being selected by the Atlanta Braves with the ninth overall pick of the 2019 MLB Draft. He was acquired from the Braves in the Matt Olson trade on March 14, 2022.
Serven, 31, is batting .308 with nine homers and 46 RBIs in 61 games with the Aviators this season.
With the Athletics, he has appeared in two games on the season with a .250 average (1-for-4). against the Miami Marlins on July 5.

Jenny Shin captures first win in 10 years at Scottish Open
Apr 23, 2026; Houston, Texas, United States; Jenny Shin of Korea hits a tee shot on the first hole during the first round of The Chevron Championship golf tournament. Mandatory Credit: Erik Williams-Imagn Images Jenny Shin recorded her first win on the LPGA Tour in 10 years on Sunday by securing a two-stroke victory at the Women’s Scottish Open in North Ayrshire.
Shin entered the final round with a five-stroke lead — and needed it. She overcame five bogeys to finish at 3-over-par 75 on Sunday at Dundonald Links and finished at 9-under 279 for the tournament.
The 33-year-old South Korean’s last win on the tour was her maiden one in 2016, at the now-defunct Volunteers of America Texas Shootout.
“Yeah, my first win didn’t really feel like a win at the time. I didn’t feel like I deserved it,” said Shin, who was still wet after being doused with water during the post-round celebration.
“But this one definitely feels a lot different. This one feels like I earned it. I worked hard for it. I started working with my putting coach four years ago, and he asked me what my goal was. I said I needed to win before I retire.
“So I had been wanting it so badly in the last four years. I’m very, very excited.”
The last LPGA Tour player to go 10 or more years between official victories was Vicki Fergon, who went 12 years and three months between wins at the 1984 S&H Golf Classic and the 1996 Michelob Light Heartland Classic.
Shin carded bogeys on hole Nos. 6-8 before stopping her skid with birdies on hole Nos. 10 and 12. She limped down the home stretch with bogeys on Nos. 16 and 18.
“I feel like I’ve done everything wrong, just wasn’t hitting it like I was the last three days and was hitting it into bunkers, bushes, and it wasn’t fun,” Shin said. “With the three bogeys in a row, I thought, ‘Oh, boy, I don’t know where this is going to go.’
“But yeah, I hung in there and so I’m quite proud of myself. Very happy.”
A Lim Kim recorded a 68 on Sunday to ascend into second place at 7-under, two strokes ahead of Thailand’s Pajaree Anannarukarn (74).
Kim, of South Korea, answered a bogey on the second hole with a birdie on the third. She rattled off four straight birdies on Nos. 9-12.
Germany’s Esther Henseleit (73) finished in fourth place at 4-under for the tournament.

Brewers DFA recently acquired Lance McCullers Jr.
Jul 20, 2026; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA; Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (50) throws a pitch during the sixth inning against the New York Mets at American Family Field. Mandatory Credit: Jeff Hanisch-Imagn Images The Milwaukee Brewers designated Lance McCullers Jr. for assignment on Sunday morning, less than two weeks after they acquired the right-hander from the Houston Astros.
The move comes one day after McCullers allowed three runs on one hit and four walks in 1 2/3 innings in Milwaukee’s 8-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
McCullers has posted a 3.86 ERA in two relief appearances since he, left-hander Colton Gordon and cash were sent to the Brewers in exchange for minor league outfielder Jadyn Fielder on July 15.
A two-time World Series winner and former American League All-Star, McCullers has pitched only 44 innings this season, posting a 2-3 record with a 6.55 ERA in 10 appearances (eight starts).
McCullers, 32, is 53-40 with a 3.85 ERA in 156 career games (148 starts) with the Astros and Brewers. He was an All-Star in 2017 and won World Series titles in 2017 and 2022, but he missed three entire seasons (2019, 2023-24) due to injuries.
Also on Sunday, the Brewers recalled right-hander Garrett Stallings from Triple-A Nashville.
Stallings posted a 3-3 record with a 4.11 ERA in 18 appearances (13 starts) with the Sounds. He also pitched three scoreless innings in two appearances earlier this season with Milwaukee.
