Mississippi is going to the Dayton Regional final, and Courtney Paris is going home.

Paris led Oklahoma (28-5) with 31 points and 20 rebounds. "When we started off we were playing at a super-fast speed -- faster than we like to play," Paris said.

Standing on the sideline after a rugged practice Tuesday at the Coliseum, sweating under the unusually hot December sun, Purdue sophomore wide receiver Seth Morales grinned sheepishly. As his teammates trooped off the field, most stopped to ask if he felt OK, patting him on the shoulder or back when he answered affirmatively. "I went out for a pass and someone hit me in the ribs," Morales said, pointing to his right side. "I lost my wind for a minute. It's nothing. It's just football."

Chuck Hartlieb was embarrassed early, but he left Northwestern red-faced. Hartlieb, with help from flanker Quinn Early, threw a Big Ten-record seven touchdown passes Saturday to lead Iowa to a 52-24 victory over the Wildcats.

The Colleges The No. 1 spot in the Bottom Ten will remain vacant this week out of respect for Kansas State, which ended a 16-game losing streak and a 30-game winless streak by beating North Texas on Saturday. So long, you vicious Mildcats. Victories by the Gophers and Vikings displaced last week's leader--the entire state of Minnesota. However, two of the region's teams, the Twins and Timberwolves, clung to Nos. 9 and 10.

Chicago Bear Coach Mike Ditka, while fielding questions from the press following Sunday's 44-7 rout of the Bengals at Cincinnati, was being heckled by a group of fans outside the dressing room. Finally, Ditka decided he had heard enough. He turned toward one loudmouth and shouted, "Get your mouth shut, jerk." He then formed a circle with his thumb and forefinger and said, "See that? It's your IQ, buddy--zero."

Federal regulators said Friday they would continue to allow sales of generic Opana, a narcotic painkiller similar to OxyContin, even though the pills are prone to abuse. Like OxyContin, Opana is an extended-release narcotic designed to offer pain relief over several hours. Crushed extended-release pills are popular among addicts who snort the powder or liquefy and inject it, releasing the full dose at once. In response to growing criticism of its widely abused OxyContin, Purdue Pharma introduced a tamper-resistant formulation in 2010.
