Joshua Jefferson recorded 21 points and six rebounds, and record-setter Milan Momcilovic added 14 points as No. 4 Iowa State cruised to a 75-59 victory over Utah on Tuesday night in Big 12 play at Salt Lake City.

Jamarion Batemon added 13 points for the Cyclones (24-4, 11-4 Big 12), who have won three of their past four games. Iowa State lost to then-No. 23 BYU on Saturday in the first leg of the two-game trip into Utah.

Momcilovic made four 3-pointers to raise his season total to 104, passing Dedric Willoughby (102 in 1996-97) for the single-season school mark.

Terrence Brown scored 18 points and Don McHenry added 14 for the Utes (10-18, 2-13), who lost for the 14th time in 16 games. Keanu Dawes added 10 points and 12 rebounds for Utah.

Iowa State shot 47.5% from the field, including 7 of 23 from 3-point range. Blake Buchanan added 10 points for the Cyclones.

The Utes connected on 45.7% of their attempts and made 6 of 18 from behind the arc. James Okonkwo blocked four shots for Utah, which committed 18 turnovers.

Utah trailed by 10 at halftime but cut that deficit in half on Dawes’ steal and dunk with 16:51 remaining.

Iowa State answered with a 16-4 run to take a 17-point advantage. Momcilovic made three treys during the spurt, including the single-season record trey with 10:59 left in the contest and another 36 seconds later to give the Cyclones a 61-44 lead with 10:23 remaining.

Utah later was within 13 after Okonkwo scored four straight points. But Jefferson and Buchanan each made two free throws to make it 72-55 with 2:13 left as Iowa State closed it out.

Batemon scored nine first-half points as Iowa State led 41-31 at the break. Brown scored 13 in the half for Utah.

Lipsey scored five points during a 12-0 surge as the Cyclones held a 22-12 advantage with 10:01 left in the half.

Utah later received five points from Brown during an 8-0 burst to move within 29-27 with 4:53 to play.

Iowa State responded with its own 8-0 run and Jefferson’s putback pushed the margin back to 10 with 3:11 remaining.

Free agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill still has “no power” in his surgically repaired left leg, 10 months after undergoing two operations.

The eight-time Pro Bowler and five-time first-team All-Pro selection posted a workout video on YouTube on Wednesday night, updating his recovery from a dislocated left knee and torn ACL sustained in late September last season.

“My left leg is the one that I injured,” said Hill, 32. “I have no power in my left leg, so I’m trying to regain all the power back in my left leg. But it’s one day at a time.”

Hill, who said doctors told him he “might not be able to walk again” after the injury, is seen running and performing a variety of exercises in the video.

With NFL teams starting to report to training camp this week, Hill did not say when he will be ready to get back on the field.

“I ain’t going to tell you what my timeline is, but timeline looking real good right now, man,” Hill said.

The Miami Dolphins released Hill on Feb. 16 in a cost-cutting move after four seasons with the team, making him a free agent for the first time in his career.

Hill caught 21 passes for 265 yards and one touchdown in four games in 2025 before the injury. He has 819 catches for 11,363 yards and 83 TDs in 145 career games for the Kansas City Chiefs (2016-21) and Dolphins (2022-25).

FC Dallas signed 15-year-old U.S. forward Benji Flowers to a first-team deal and agreed to a future transfer to Chelsea FC when he turns 18, The Athletic reported Thursday.

Dallas will receive an initial fee of about $3 million from the Premier League side and up to an additional $7 million in performance-based add-ons, per the report. Triggers for the incentives include how many minutes he plays for Dallas as well as milestones with the U.S. youth national team. Dallas also will retain a sell-on clause, The Athletic reported.

Flowers recently traveled to London to complete the Chelsea portion of the deal, per the report.

Last month, Flowers was named to the MLS NEXT All-Star Game. The FC Dallas Academy product made his debut with North Texas SC on March 21 at 14 years, 11 months and seven days, making him the second-youngest player in that club’s history.

The Columbus Blue Jackets re-signed goaltender Jet Greaves to a three-year, $15 million deal Thursday and avoided a salary arbitration hearing.

Greaves, 25, filed for arbitration prior to the NHL’s July 5 deadline and had been scheduled for a hearing on Thursday in Toronto.

“Jet is a high-character, talented and athletic goaltender who has become an important part of our hockey club,” general manager and president of hockey operations Don Waddell said. “Our intent always was to get a deal done to ensure he remains a Blue Jacket and we are thrilled that we were able to do so.”

Greaves finished 26-19-9 with two shutouts, a 2.60 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage in 55 games in his first full season in 2025-26.

He is 36-28-11 with four shutouts, a 2.61 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 76 games since making his NHL debut with Columbus in April 2023.
