LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Canadian Andrew Wiggins exacted a little bit of revenge on Texas. So did the rest of the Kansas Jayhawks. On the eve of his 19th birthday, the freshman from Vaughan, Ont., put on a dazzling display of outside shooting and rim-rattling dunks. Wiggins finished with 21 points to lead the eighth-ranked Jayhawks to an 85-54 rout of No. 19 Texas, helping them seize control of the Big 12 race. It was a far different outcome than the first time the teams met, three weeks ago in Austin. Texas rolled to an 81-69 victory, and Wiggins managed seven points on 2-for-12 shooting. "We wanted to come out aggressive," Wiggins said. "Last time we got embarrassed at their place. We wanted to do the same thing to them, win every minute of every possession." They just about accomplished it. Joel Embiid added 13 points, seven rebounds and six blocks for the Jayhawks (21-6, 12-2), who lead the league race by three games with four to play. Kansas can wrap up at least a share of its 10th straight title when Oklahoma visits Allen Fieldhouse on Monday night. "That was our first goal to start the year off, to win a 10th straight Big 12 championship," said Frank Mason, who had 14 points off the bench. "Thats still our goal." Jonathan Holmes scored 17 points and Cameron Ridley had 11 for Texas, but they were about the only guys wearing burnt orange who seemed to solve the Jayhawks gritty man-to-man defence. Freshman guard Isaiah Taylor was held to just five points on 1-for-14 shooting, while Javan Felix was 2 of 9 from the field and finished with six points. "I talk about our guys not being as tough as wed like them to be, which were not, but they are prideful," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "Texas whipped us down there the first time. I said all along this game wasnt about the league race as much as it was playing Texas." The game actually played out in similar fashion to the first meeting, only this time it was Kansas that played flawlessly and Texas that looked like a mess. After the Longhorns jumped out to an 8-3 lead, they managed just one field goal over an 11-minute stretch as the Jayhawks launched a 32-5 run that put the game away. "They were really good, obviously, and you got to know after we played as well as we played against them the first time they were going to be ready to play," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. Wiggins led the way for Kansas, at one point scoring 12 points during a particularly brutal 14-0 spurt. He did it in dazzling fashion, too: There was the soaring fast-break dunk, the back-to-back 3-pointers, and the alley-oop jam off a pass from Wayne Selden Jr. that left the crowd roaring so loudly that the field house floor was shaking. "When I score early, it brings a lot of confidence to my game, especially when I hit a 3. I get on fire," Wiggins said. "My teammates did a good job of getting me the ball." By the time Connor Lammert finally hit a 3-pointer with about 5 minutes left in the half, the lead had ballooned to 28-13 and the Longhorns had exhausted nearly all their timeouts. "It can get away from you quick," Holmes said. "One or two possessions, you can look and youre down by six, eight and then 10 and then the game is over pretty much after that." Just how bad were the Longhorns in the first half? Try 6 of 29 from the field and 5 of 12 from the foul line, with five turnovers and three assists. They were dominated on the boards, dominated in the paint and, well, dominated just about everywhere else, too. Taylor, who had 23 points in the first meeting with Kansas, was 0 for 10 from the field as the Jayhawks built a 46-18 halftime advantage. And even when Texas managed to score -- as it did out of the break -- Kansas often answered with two buckets in return. It kept going like that throughout the second half as the Jayhawks outscored Texas 26-0 in transition and 38-22 in the paint, allowing them to empty their bench early. "I think we should give a refund to the fans," Barnes said. "Topeka YMCA probably would have given them a little better game, because we didnt give them a good game at all."

Yeezy Goedkoop . -- Jimmie Johnson has a sixth NASCAR championship in hand and two legends within reach.MELBOURNE, Australia - In her two-decade career on the tennis tour, Venus Williams has seen plenty of players come and go.She used to take the court against the likes of Steffi Graf and Jennifer Capriati. Now that theyre long since retired, shes playing against women who werent even born when she and her sister Serena turned pro in the mid-1990s.I think everybody we grew up with has moved on, into a mature life, Venus said with a laugh at the Australian Open on Saturday after yet another victory at a Grand Slam tournament — win No. 223, to be exact. We just cant figure out how were still here.At 34, Venus is not just still here — shes playing in the second week of a Grand Slam again after rallying to beat Italian Camila Giorgi, a player more than a decade her junior. Venus was two points from defeat before turning the match around and prevailing 4-6, 7-6 (3), 6-1.Its her first appearance in the round of 16 of a major since Wimbledon in 2011 and her subsequent disclosure that shed been diagnosed with Sjogrens syndrome, an autoimmune disease that causes fatigue and joint pain.The years since her diagnosis have been trying as shes had to learn how to live with the illness while continuing her career as a pro athlete. Her results began to suffer. Once a constant fixture in the later round of slams, she got used to losing early. Her ranking dipped and she began to face more and more questions about retirement.But Venus never viewed her condition — or her steadily increasing age — as an impediment to being competitive on the court again.The years go by fast, she said. Its definitely been a lot of work andd a lot of learning and a lot of perseverance.dddddddddddd It will continue to be that for me. Just have to come to terms with it.Slowly, shes worked her way back into the top 20 and now, with her win over Giorgi, closer to the top 10 again. And she has a chance to reach the quarterfinals of a major for the first time since the 2010 U.S. Open if she beats her next opponent, sixth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska.Her run at Melbourne Park this week has motivated her sister to rally from a set down in her own third-round match on Saturday and drawn praise from players both young and old.Shes been huge for American tennis. Shes been huge for womens tennis, in general, said 19-year-old American Madison Keys. And even now, shes still playing, still dominating, and its one of those things where you think, hopefully I can have a career like hers one day.Billie Jean King, one of the trailblazers in womens tennis, posted her congratulations on social media following Venus third-round victory.I am inspired by @Venuseswilliams every time she takes the court. Great to see her healthy, competing and loving what she does.Radwanska presents a much stiffer challenge in the next round. Although Venus holds a 5-4 edge in their head-to-head matchups, her last victory came nearly five years ago. Radwanska has won three matches since then, all in straight sets.But Venus isnt counting herself out. Shes still playing to win titles — just like her sister.I think our perspective is were still quite good at what we do, she said. While were here, were going to be here. While were gone, we might watch (tennis) on TV. ' ' '
