Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 11:04:49 GMT

Recapping the Week 9 action across the Pac-12 …Theme of the week: Close calls and home dogsThree games involving ranked teams were undecided in the final minutes over the course of a riveting Saturday. And only one of the six matchups was locked down as the fourth quarter began: Oregon’s blowout victory at Utah. In a betting oddity, five games featured home underdogs. Two won outright (Arizona and Arizona State), and two others (Stanford and Cal) pushed their ranked opponents to the wire.Theme of the week II: The race tightensUtah and Oregon State lost for the second time this season, effectively eliminating both from the College Football Playoff race.

England collapses again as India maintains perfect record at the Cricket World Cup

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 11:04:49 GMT

LUCKNOW, India (AP) — India stayed perfect and England remained awful as Mohammed Shami bowled a stunning opening spell to give the hosts a 100-run win at the Cricket World Cup on Sunday.Shami and Jasprit Bumrah shared an initial five wickets in a fiery exhibition of pace and seam movement in a six-over spell in the first powerplay and blew away the English top-order. That came after India had been put into bat and scored only 229-9 in 50 overs on a tough pitch with Rohit Sharma contributing 87 runs off 101 balls.The total proved more than enough for India to defend. Shami finished with 4-22 in seven overs, while Bumrah returned 3-32 in 6.5 overs, as England suffered yet another batting collapse, crashing to a fifth defeat in six games.Defending champion England was left languishing in 10th spot after a miserable outing in Lucknow against Indian pace and spin – all out for 129 runs in just 34.5 overs. India continues to fly high as the only unbeaten team in the tournament. The hosts...

Tony played for his dad in college before a brief career in the NBA and overseas, and then got his own coaching start on his bench with the Badgers, the father-son duo ultimately taking them to the Final Four.The game changed over Dick’s four decades in coaching — the shot clock and 3-point line were introduced, TV brought the game to the masses — but nothing like it has since the younger Bennett took over for pops at Washington State in 2006.The transfer portal along with name, image and likeness legislation have turned Bennett and his brethren into defacto CEOs, businessmen as much as coaches.
