Hunter Dickinson erupts for 32 points to push Kansas past Colorado
Feb 24, 2025; Boulder, Colorado, USA; Kansas Jayhawks center Hunter Dickinson (1) is fouled by Colorado Buffaloes guard Julian Hammond III (3) in the first half at the CU Events Center. Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images Hunter Dickinson had a season-high 32 points and pulled down 13 rebounds, KJ Adams Jr. scored 15 points, and Kansas beat Colorado 71-64 in Boulder, Colo., on Monday night for the Jayhawks’ second straight Big 12 Conference win.
Rylan Griffen contributed 10 points for Kansas (19-9, 10-7 Big 12), which entered the game unranked for the first time in 80 weeks and stopped a four-game road skid.
Dickinson averaged 25.5 points and 11 rebounds in two wins over Colorado this season.
Bangot Dak had 16 points and Julian Hammond III scored all 11 of his points in the second half for the Buffaloes (11-17, 2-15), who had an 18-5 edge in offensive rebounding.
The Jayhawks opened the second half by missing their first three shots and five of six free throws, which allowed Colorado to erase a five-point halftime deficit and take a 39-38 lead for its first of the night.
After Kansas jumped back in front with five straight points, and following a Javon Ruffin 3-pointer to bring Colorado back even at 46-46, the Jayhawks reeled off five straight points to regain the advantage.
Kansas tried to pull away but two dunks by Dak kept Colorado within range. After Flory Bidunga missed the front end of a 1-and-1, Dak’s putback dunk got the Buffaloes within 59-57. Dak then fouled Griffen on a 3-point attempt; Griffen hit all three free throws to push the lead back to five points.
Hammond answered with a 3-pointer, the teams traded misses, and Dajuan Harris Jr. made a driving layup to give Kansas a 64-60 lead with 3:18 left.
Following a Hammond turnover, Dickinson split a pair of free throws and later added a layup with 1:07 to go that allowed the Jayhawks to close out the win.
Kansas hit its first six shots of the game and raced out to a quick 14-4 lead. The Buffaloes closed within 26-20 with 8:42 left, the Jayhawks responded to lead by 10 again but Colorado scored six straight points to get within 32-28 and trailed 37-32 at intermission.

NYCFC focusing on Fire, not player's demand, fan reaction
Sep 20, 2025; New York, New York, USA; New York City FC midfielder a(7) brings the ball up the pitch against Charlotte FC during the second half at Yankee Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images Their leading goal scorer wants out of town and their goalkeeper is public enemy No. 1 after a costly gaffe during the World Cup played a key role in the United States losing to Belgium in the round of 16.
But New York City FC is still relying on Nicolas Fernandez Mercau and Matt Freese for big contributions Saturday night when the Chicago Fire invade Yankee Stadium.
Fernandez Mercau scored his 11th goal on a penalty kick Wednesday night during a 2-1 win at Columbus that got NYCFC (6-6-4, 22 points) to .500. It came one day after reports that the club rejected an $18 million offer for his services, leading to his demand that the team transfer him.
“You see a player that is performing for and with his team with a lot of energy,” head coach Pascal Jansen said of Fernandez Mercau. “That’s what he’s supposed to do.”
Freese, whose whiffed clearing attempt led to a third goal for Belgium in a 4-1 win on July 6, was booed on every touch Wednesday. Despite the jeers, he made three saves in the team’s first fixture after the World Cup break.
Meanwhile, Chicago (8-5-2, 26 points) sits third in the East table despite a 3-2 loss Wednesday night at Inter Miami. The result snapped the Fire’s three-match winning streak.
Chicago opted not to stand pat during the summer transfer window, adding Robert Lewandowski from Barcelona on a two-year deal. The 37-year-old Lewandowski, the captain of Poland’s national team, started at Miami and played 63 minutes.
“After just two days with my new team, I didn’t expect everything to work perfectly in my first game,” Lewandowski said.
Lewandowski’s signing led to the departure of star striker Hugo Cuypers. The Fire sold him to LIGA MX’s Monterrey for a reported $7.5 million after he scored 40 goals in 75 league matches over the past 2 1/2 seasons. Cuypers scored 13 goals in 11 matches this season, tying Dallas’ Petar Musa for the league lead.
NYCFC is 3-0-2 in its last five matches against Chicago.

CF Montreal acquire Brayan Ceballos from Revs for up to $850K GAM
Mar 15, 2026; Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA; New England Revolution forward Luca Langoni (41) congratulates defender Brayan Ceballos (3) after he scored his second goal during the first half against the FC Cincinnati at Gillette Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Winslow Townson-Imagn Images The New England Revolution traded defender Brayan Ceballos to CF Montreal on Friday in exchange for up to $850,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM).
The payments were divided into $500,000 in 2026 GAM, $250,000 in 2027 GAM and up to $100,000 in conditional GAM. The Revs also retained a percentage of Ceballos’ sell-on rights should he be transferred again.
“Brayan is a reliable and versatile defender who can play effectively in a variety of systems, making him an important addition to our roster,” Luca Saputo, Montreal’s managing director for recruitment and sporting methodology, said in a statement. “His strengths will complement those already present in our defensive unit. We are confident that he will contribute to our collective objectives as well as the team’s development.”
Ceballos, 25, came to the Revolution from Brazil’s Fortaleza EC in January 2025. He had three goals in 38 career games (37 starts) for the Revs, with two of those goals coming in one game this season, March 15 against Cincinnati.
“We are grateful to Brayan for all his contributions during his time in New England. We wish him all the best in Montreal,” Revolution general manager Chris Tierney said in a statement. “As we look to continue improving the first team, generating this significant amount of allocation money will allow us to continue investing in the roster in the future.”
