AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Perry Ellis scored 20 points and top-ranked Kansas rolled over No. 23 Texas 86-56 on Monday night, an emphatic exclamation point that clinched the outright Big 12 championship for the Jayhawks.

Kansas had already earned at least a share of a 12th straight crown and settled the question of whether they would get to claim it as their own in the opening minutes with a barrage of 3-pointers, a steady diet of points from Ellis and defense that gave Texas nothing easy.

The Jayhawks (26-4, 14-3) made 11 3-pointers, led by 24 points by halftime and sent Texas’ sellout home crowd headed to the exits early. Ellis finished 9 of 11 from the field.

Frank Mason III added 14 points for Kansas.

Javan Felix scored 13 points for Texas (19-11, 10-7), which has never beaten a No. 1-ranked opponent in nine tries.

Kansas is back on top of the men’s college basketball poll by The Associated Press. Villanova had been No. 1 the past three weeks.

The Jayhawks are 25-4 and were No. 1 for two weeks in January. On Monday, they were a runaway choice, receiving 63 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel.

Michigan State is 24-5 and was No. 1 for a season-best four weeks. The Spartans drew the other two first-place votes.

Villanova lost to Xavier last week and fell two spots to third. The Wildcats were followed in the top 10 by Virginia, Xavier, Oklahoma, Miami, North Carolina, Oregon and West Virginia. This is Oregon’s first appearance in the top 10 this season.

California was ranked in three polls earlier this season and is the week’s only newcomer at No. 25. The Bears replace Notre Dame, which fell out from 23rd.

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) – Infielder Christian Colon, who drove in the go-ahead run in the clinching Game 5 of the World Series, and outfielder Paulo Orlando, who hit .248 in 86 games as a rookie, were among six Kansas City Royals players agreeing to terms Sunday for a one-year contract.

Colon will receive $518,425, while Orlando will receive $514,250. Left-handed pitcher Brian Flynn, who threw only one inning last year because of an injury and appeared in six games in 2013-14 with the Miami Marlins, signed for $515,950. Outfielder Reymond Fuentes, who hit .152 in 23 games in 2013 with San Diego, signed for $508,450

Left-hander Matt Strahm and infielder Ramon Torres, who have never appeared in the majors, signed for the minimum $507,500.

With these signings, all Royals on the 40-man roster are under contract for 2016.

After having to sit out the first half of this season due to an injury he suffered during football season Junction City’s Aryus Jones completed a perfect season and earned his first ever State Championship.

Jones suffered a compound fracture in his left leg during a mid-October football practice that kept him from wrestling the first half of the season.

“When you break your leg, you start to realize how many things you take for granted and stuff,” explained Jones. “I couldn’t even walk for the longest time and to see how much I’ve progressed since late October to now, it’s incredible.”

Months of rehab allowed him to return about mid-season and the chase to the championship was on.

“I just couldn’t stand going to wrestling tournaments and watching my teammates perform without me, watch people at #160 win, and it just drove me crazy to think that I could be out there, I could be doing that.”

Jones was the only Blue Jay to advance to the championship finals in the State Tournament this year, picking up wins by tech fall, major decision and a decision on his way to the championship. In that final match Jones went up against Trent Miles of Washburn Rural, a wrestler he’d faced twice prior, once at the centennial league tournament where Jones won by tech fall, and again at regionals where Jones won in a 10-7 decision.

The championship match appeared to be the perfect opportunity for Miles to pull off the upset, but Jones wasn’t going to let that happen, and in fact the match was over just about as fast as it started with Jones picking up the win via fall in :30 seconds.

“I knew going in there that he had seen a couple of takedowns before, because we had wrestled a couple of times. I thought this kid is going to be tough, so I snapped his head down, saw the open leg and went for it. Had a little bit of a scramble, at about the end of it I saw his head close to his knee, and I figured why not go for a cradle and try to end it fast, and I ended up getting it.”

Jones can now take a small break and enjoy the offseason as the Class 6A State Champion at 160 pounds, but he don’t expect that break to be real long as he plans to get right back at it to begin preparing for next season, as he will look to defend his title as a senior at Junction City High School.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – Svi Mykhailiuk came off the bench to score 17 points, Frank Mason III added 16 and No. 2 Kansas beat Texas Tech 67-58 on Saturday to secure at least a share of its 12th straight Big 12 title.

Mykhailiuk hit five 3-pointers and didn’t miss a shot until the final minute, helping the Jayhawks (25-4, 13-3) extend one of the most remarkable streaks in major college basketball.

The only school to win more consecutive conference championships was UCLA, which won 13 in a row during the 1960s and ’70s. The Jayhawks can win their eighth outright title during their streak with a win Monday night at No. 25 Texas or in their regular-season finale against No. 17 Iowa State.

Toddrick Gotcher hit five 3s and led the Red Raiders (18-10, 8-8) with 20 points.
