Another Final Four favorite is out of the NCAA women’s tournament field before the second weekend. No. 10 South Dakota knocked out No. 2 Baylor, 61-47, on the Bears’ home court to advance to the Wichita region semifinal. It’s the Coyotes’ first Sweet 16 berth and was barely in doubt after a 16-4 lead through one quarter. The Coyotes (29-5), who took down No. 7 Ole Miss in the first round, have not trailed in the tournament. They join Creighton, the 10 seed in the Greensboro region, in upending… Source link

Illinois has bowed out of the NCAA tournament in the second round for the second straight season. Last year as a No. 1 seed, the Illini were shocked in the Round of 32 by Loyola Chicago. This time around as a No. 4 seed in the South region, Illinois was no match for the physicality and athleticism of No. 5 Houston. Houston out-hustled Illinois, the Big Ten champions, throughout the first half to build a double-digit lead, withstood an Illinois run that tied the game early in the second half… Source link

Former Vice President Mike Pence has spent the past week outmaneuvering Donald Trump, his old boss and potential 2024 primary opponent. Shortly after the plane Trump was flying on last weekend was forced to land due to an engine failure, Pence flew to Israel on the private jet of the GOP’s most prized donor, Miriam Adelson. And while Trump was avoiding criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin in a call-in interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Pence and his wife, Karen, flew to the… Source link

For more than 48 hours, the NCAA men’s tournament returned to precisely what we fondly remembered — overtimes, upsets and the type of merry chaos that make the event one of the most exhilarating on the American sporting calendar. After the NCAA canceled the tournament in 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, college basketball endured a 2020-21 season of fits and stops, sporadic flourishes and frequent shutdowns. So it was only obvious that COVID-19 would loom over the tournament,… Source link

A Saturday night at Staples Center resulted in YouTube star Jake Paul standing in the corner, former NBA dunk champion Nate Robinson out cold on the floor and millions of pay-per-viewers wondering what on God’s green earth they had just watched. Officially, the boxing match ended midway through the second round as a Paul KO, but calling it a boxing match might be generous. It did end with a punch, but what came before was a preposterous rinse-and-repeat of Robinson charging his opponent,… Source link
