Missouri
Quick recap: Kansas can't complete comeback, falls to Missouri
Kansas followed a dreadful first half with a gutsy showing in the second half, but it wasn’t enough to come back from a 14-point halftime deficit. The Jayhawks lost their second straight road game, falling to Missouri 76-67 on Sunday in Columbia.
The Jayhawks dug themselves a huge hole by committing 15 first-half turnovers. The second half was a different story, turning it over just once. Kansas had a 15-0 run in the cards and eventually cut the deficit to two, but the Tigers managed to hold on.
Hunter Dickinson led the way with a 19-point, 14-rebound double-double. Dajuan Harris and KJ Adams turned things up after a weak first half, and David Coit provided a nice spark as he started in place of AJ Storr.
First half
Kansas’ offense struggled out of the gates as a pair of Kansas natives got going for Missouri. Tamar Bates and Mark Mitchell scored the first nine points, giving the Tigers an early 9-4 lead. The Jayhawks’ offense struggled, missing their first three threes and starting 2/7 from the floor.
Missouri remained in control as Kansas looked awful on the offensive end. The Jayhawks missed shots and turned it over, with the only points coming from a Hunter Dickinson three. He hyped up the Tigers student section, and Missouri then scored four straight, including a breakaway dunk from Aidan Shaw, extending the Tigers’ lead to 15-7 with 12:54 to play.
Turnovers plagued Kansas as the Jayhawks looked flustered in the rowdy Mizzou Arena. Kansas turned it over nine times in the first 12 minutes, leading to eight points for Missouri. Bates drove the Tigers forward with his intensity, scoring seven straight for Missouri as it led 26-17 at the under-eight timeout.
Kansas couldn’t stop turning the ball over, looking completely outmatched by Missouri. The Jayhawks went on over a five-minute scoring drought, turning it over six times in that stretch.
Missouri couldn’t get a lot of things going but went on a 6-0 run based at the free throw line. A layup from Zeke Mayo broke the drought, but the Tigers were in firm control, leading 34-19 with 2:45 to play at the first half.
The Tigers didn’t make a field goal over the last two minutes of the half. Kansas cut somewhat into the lead as Dajuan Harris made a pair of layups. The Jayhawks trailed 39-25 at halftime after committing 15 turnovers leading to 14 Missouri points.
Second half
It was more of the same for Missouri to open the second half. Bates and Mitchell led the way as the Tigers opened up a 20-point lead. Bates intercepted a pass and finished through contact on the other end to make it 50-30, putting the Mizzou Arena crowd into a frenzy.
The Tigers were trending towards a complete blowout after they went on a 6-0 run, but the Jayhawks answered with an 8-0 run to cut the deficit to 57-41 at the under-12 timeout. Kansas held Missouri scoreless for a near three-minute stretch but still faced a major uphill climb.
Kansas continued to apply defensive pressure, forcing Missouri into long possessions that didn’t result in points. The Jayhawks cut the lead to nine after the run extended to 15-0. Kansas’ trio of veterans started to get rolling and David Coit made a three as things started to get tense.
The Jayhawks were gifted opportunities to really close the gap, but they missed a lot of good looks as part of a three-minute scoring drought. Eventually, Coit made a three as he continued to provide a spark defensively. Kansas then scored five straight to be trailing just six, 62-56, at the under-four timeout.
Coit cut it to a one-possession game after hitting a three. Missouri answered at the free throw-line, but Harris countered with an and-one to make it 65-63 with 2:20 to play.
Mark Mitchell hit a huge three from the corner to push the lead to five. After Kansas couldn’t score on the ensuing possession, Josh Gray hit two free throws to make a comeback seem slim.
Tamar Bates finished a layup before Missouri iced the game at the free throw line as Kansas dropped its second straight road game.
Healthcare fraud: Hundreds charged by DOJ
Justice Department officials announced they are charging 455 defendants over schemes involving more than $6.5 billion in alleged false claims.
Fox – Fox 9
The U.S. Department of Justice has charged more than 450 people — including more than two dozen Missouri residents — in connection with global health care fraud schemes totaling a record $6.5 billion.
The DOJ wrote in a news release on June 23 that the alleged fraud and opioid abuse schemes involved 455 people across 45 states who submitted false claims to Medicare, Medicaid and other health care programs and “caused significant patient harm, including death.” Ninety doctors and other licensed medical professionals are among those charged in the schemes.
In all, 56 federal districts and 50 state Medicaid Fraud Control Units participated in the investigation ― the most in the DOJ’s history.
“Health care fraud steals from taxpayers, exploits vulnerable patients, and puts lives at risk,” U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said. “Today’s historic enforcement action sends a clear message: if you use our health care system to enrich yourself at the expense of patients or the American people, we will find you, we will prosecute you, and we will hold you accountable.”
Luxury cars, fine art and a hotel in the Philippines
Since June 8, hundreds of defendants have been arrested in connection with the schemes, in what the DOJ is calling the 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown.
In one case in Arizona, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said a corporate executive allegedly took $1 billion in taxpayer funds after billing for wound grafts and charging more than $1 million per patient. The money was later allegedly used to buy million-dollar homes, luxury cars and even build a hotel in the Philippines.
In another case in Florida, three defendants were charged for their roles in an $118 million allograft fraud scheme where a nurse practitioner allegedly used the proceeds to fund their lavish lifestyle, including a luxury box at an NFL stadium and over $400,000 in fine art.
How many Missourians have been charged in the 2026 National Health Care Fraud Take Down?
Twenty-four Missourians have been charged in the state for their alleged participation in health care fraud, with three others being charged out of state. The most common charges include “false statement to receive a health care payment” and “stealing by deceit in connection with Medicaid fraud.”
Two of the complaints allege that the accused parties fraudulently pocketed more than $100,000.
- Michelle Terry, 48, of Saint Peters, was charged with Medicaid fraud and stealing. Terry, who owns an adult daycare center, is accused of submitting false claims for purported services to four Medicaid recipients from May 2023 to September 2024, collecting $114,480.32 in Medicaid funds in the process.
- Chontell Wilkes, 34, and Sandra Wilkes, 55, of St. Louis, were charged with Medicaid fraud and stealing. The pair owns Smiles Adult Day Care, and are accused of submitting 1,418 false claims for adult day care services that were not provided. Through this scheme, Medicaid paid the Wilkeses more than $121,362.20 for services not provided.
In total, the cases cost the state more than $613,000, Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway said in a news release.
What is health care fraud?
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation states that health care fraud is defined as intentionally deceiving the health care system to receive illegal benefits or payments. It can be committed by medical providers, patients and other individuals.
What are the most common types of health care fraud?
The FBI lists the following as some of the most common types of health care fraud committed by medical providers:
- Double-billing: Submitting multiple claims for the same service.
- Phantom billing: Billing for a service visit or supplies that the patient never received.
- Unbundling: Submitting multiple bills for the same service.
- Upcoding: Billing for a more expensive service than the patient actually received.
Common types of fraud committed by patients and other individuals include:
- Bogus marketing: Convincing people to provide their health insurance identification number and other personal information to bill for non-rendered services, steal their identity, or enroll them in a fake benefit plan.
- Identity theft/identity swapping: Using another person’s health insurance or allowing another person to use your insurance.
- Impersonating a health care professional: Providing or billing for health services or equipment without a license.
Common types of fraud involving prescriptions included:
- Forgery: Creating or using forged prescriptions.
- Diversion: Diverting legal prescriptions for illegal uses, such as selling your prescription medication.
- Doctor shopping: Visiting multiple providers to get prescriptions for controlled substances, or getting prescriptions from medical offices that engage in unethical practices.
