Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:21:20 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Emanuel Miller scored 29 points and his desperation 3-point, running bank shot at the buzzer carried TCU past Georgetown 84-83 in a thriller on Saturday in a Big East/Big 12 Battle contest.But not without some controversy.Replay showed Miller stepped on the right sideline with his left foot just before releasing the ball. Though officials reviewed the play, because they missed Miller stepping out-of-bounds in real time, by rule they couldn’t overturn the shot.Jayden Epps sank a pair of foul shots with 2.7 seconds left to give Georgetown an 83-81 lead. On the inbounds, TCU’s Micah Peavy ran the baseline, and like a quarterback rolling to the right to evade pressure, threw the ball on a near-straight line to Miller who caught it, turned, took a dribble and launched it before falling to the floor.Miller finished 12-for-18 shooting, Jakobe Coles scored 17 points and reserve Avery Anderson III 11 for the undefeated Horned Frogs (7-0).Epps scored 24 points, D...

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A locker room can go either way when a coaching change is made, and in Boise State’s case, players lined up behind Spencer Danielson when he was handed the job on an interim basis with two games left in the regular season.That buy-in has been on full display since.Taylen Green threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more, and the Broncos improved to 3-0 under Danielson, beating UNLV 44-20 on Saturday to capture their fifth Mountain West championship.“It’s paramount,” Danielson said of his players’ support. “Those young men deserve all the credit because they had a lot of opportunities to say, ‘Let’s not do this. I’m going to find the easy way out. I’m going to transfer. I’m just not going to give my effort.’ They never did it.”The Broncos (8-5) are expected to head to the LA Bowl, which has the first choice from the Mountain West.UNLV (9-4), which was appearing in its first Mountain West title game, will g...

DeSantis hits Iowa campaign milestone but is still far behind Trump, who again mocked his campaign

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:21:20 GMT

NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — Ron DeSantis completed his campaign promise to visit each of Iowa’s 99 counties, crossing a symbolic but also tactical threshold by telling his audience in a central Iowa town “this should show you that I consider myself a servant, not a ruler.”Former President Donald Trump, who still remains far ahead of DeSantis, mocked him at a larger rally about 100 miles away and said the Florida governor’s campaign was falling “like a very seriously wounded bird.”In that way, the Florida governor’s moment, much like the months of campaigning so far, took place under Trump’s towering shadow.The presence of Trump on DeSantis’ day of accomplishment underscores the challenge he and other Trump rivals face in Iowa. DeSantis has said he expects to win the caucuses. He’s focused much of his campaign on the state and a super PAC supporting him has invested more than $16 million in advertising and more on building a campaign organization for the Jan. 15 caucuses.
