There’s been a lot of chatter recently among California lawmakers about a gas rebate as prices at the pump are among the highest in the country. “If you look at all the regulations, taxes, and fees associated with gas in California, we pay $1.27 more [per gallon] than every other state in the nation. It’s really sad,” Republican Assemblymember James Gallagher said on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “We have a double whammy, not only do we have high gas prices, but we have all these… Source link

No. 1 seed NC State is in its first Elite Eight since 1998, thanks to a defensive stand in the final 20 seconds that turned into its first lead since the second quarter. Raina Perez stole the ball in the backcourt and laid it in with ease to go up by one on No. 5 seed Notre Dame in the Bridgeport region. She sealed the 66-63 win with free throws in the final second after a 3-point attempt by Notre Dame failed to fall. “She turned her back, the ball was still stuck on her hip, so I went for it,… Source link

A year after winning just two games, Iowa State is moving on to the Sweet 16. The Cyclones, the No. 11 seed in the Midwest region, upset No. 3 seed Wisconsin 54-49 in the second round of the NCAA tournament. And they did it in front of a largely pro-Wisconsin crowd on Sunday night in Milwaukee. The Cyclones (22-12) had a 2-22 record in 2021 but have now won two games in the NCAA tournament in their first season with T.J. Otzelberger as head coach. Gabe Kalscheur led the way for ISU in what was… Source link

Villanova is back in the Sweet 16 for the fourth time in the last five men’s NCAA tournaments. The No. 2 Wildcats hung on in the second half to bounce No. 7 Ohio State, 71-61, on Sunday in the South region. The Buckeyes never led at any point but were able to cut Villanova’s lead to two points with less than six minutes to go. Ohio State never got any closer, however. Villanova got the lead back to four after Ohio State missed the chance for a tie or the lead and was able to stay two… Source link

On Thursday, St. Peter’s stunned Kentucky to become the 10th No. 15 seed to win a men’s NCAA tournament game. On Saturday, it joined truly rarified air. In a second-round matchup with No. 7 Murray State, the Peacocks picked up where they left off with a 70-60 win over the Racers to secure an unlikely Sweet 16 bid. And like on Thursday, this was no fluke. St. Peter’s was the better team from the opening tip. The Peacocks never trailed Murray State. They opened a 32-27 halftime lead then scored… Source link

South Dakota State was 3 shot-clock seconds away from March Madness opportunity. Not from an upset, necessarily, or even a lead, but with less than a minute to play in an NCAA men’s tournament opener in Buffalo on Thursday, the 13th-seeded Jackrabbits were down three and one stop away from a chance to take No. 4 seed Providence to overtime. Then, with the shot clock waning, Jackrabbits star Douglas Wilson flew out to contest a 3-point shot. Providence’s Jared Bynum missed it, but Wilson… Source link

The Mid-American Conference announced on Saturday that four Kent State players had been suspended for taking part in a profane Snapchat video aimed at Akron, their opponent in the MAC Tournament final on Saturday night. Kent State would go on to lose 75-55 to the Zips, a bitter what-if for a program that was on the verge of its first NCAA Tournament berth since 2017. DJ Johnson, Malique Jacobs, Cli’Ron Hornbeak and Julius Rollins were all suspended for varying lengths of time for posting… Source link

When Arizona State’s Kimani Lawrence threw down a dunk and got fouled with 3:01 left, the Sun Devils’ Pac-12 tournament game should have been over. At that point, Arizona State led Stanford 69-55 with Lawrence going to the line. Those who bet Arizona State -3.5 at BetMGM were finding other conference tournament games to watch. ASU was a win. Or, it should have been. Arizona State reached a 99.4 percent win probability with three minutes left, according to ESPN. Anyone who didn’t stick around… Source link

LONDON, March 7 (Reuters Breakingviews) – Russia is turning in on itself. Sanctions have hammered Moscow-linked stocks and in New York shares in search engine Yandex (YNDX.O), , until two weeks ago the darling of the Russian technology scene, have been suspended. The trading hiatus may activate a bond repayment it can’t afford. Even if it cuts a deal with creditors, Yandex’s future looks Kremlin-controlled. The Securities and Exchange Commission suspended trading in shares of Yandex and… Source link
