While Coach K’s winding road to retirement has been a beauty to watch this March, nothing has captured more imaginations than the run put on by underdog Saint Peter’s. The entire basketball budget for this scrappy group from Jersey City, New Jersey, is $1.6 million — or around $400,000 less than what Tar Heels first-year coach Hubert Davis, who was sobbing as his players enveloped him after the buzzer, makes in a year.
“Just being able to accomplish what we accomplished this year, now teams coming in or new teams, two, three years down the line, that Elite Eight is going to be the goal,” McGusty said. “That’s what we were able to do this year, and I’m so happy for us. I love these guys.”
The Illinois International Port in Chicago, pictured in 2013, has long been underused, and mid-20th century infrastructure such as the giant grain elevators are empty while “finger” piers protected by barrier islands cannot accommodate modern shipping traffic. A new plan hopes to increase logistics opportunities on the lake’s southern half while opening the lake’s northern section for “community access, recreation and natural resource activities.” (Alex Garcia / Chicago Tribune)
“I would just say going to the tournament, he always lets us know every day, hey, just be you,” Hurricanes guard Isaiah Wong said. “At the end of the day, just play free and just play together as a team and just help the team as much as possible. Play hard, and just be yourself at the end of the day. And with that feeling it just makes us even better as a team.”
“Never dig or walk in any area that feels wet or soft underfoot, or where you can see standing water,” Yiesla said. Before you begin work in any part of the garden, dig up a handful of soil. It should feel moist, but not wet or muddy, and should just barely hold together when you squeeze it in your fist.
“We have to make sure that, in particular, low-income residents, who are often the targets of these companies, are not lured into these fraudulent scams,” Lisa Madigan told reporters. “I’m hoping that through my lawsuit today, and with a new law in Illinois, we can put these bad companies out of business for good.”
Dixon visits high schools to talk to students about real estate careers. The Marshall Bennett Institute, which offers both undergraduate and graduate programs in real estate, has hosted the Real Estate Exchange (REEX) Summer Program, a two-week residential program for current high school juniors that exposes them to commercial real estate. Pangea Real Estate, a real estate investment and management company with 13,000-plus apartments and townhouses in Chicago, Indianapolis and Baltimore, hosts paid internships for high school juniors and seniors through its Foundations program. For six weeks during the summer, interns rotate between Pangea’s downtown headquarters, contract center and neighborhood offices picking up knowledge from various departments while also working on their life skills like interviewing, resumes and LinkedIn profiles. Pangea also partners with Chicago Hope Academy, on the Near West Side, to share information about real estate as a career and mentoring.
The Bulls spread the ball rigorously in the opening quarter to set the tone for the game, finishing with 23 assists on 36 made baskets. And the balanced lineup allowed Alex Caruso and Dosunmu to record the type of unselfish statlines both players prefer: Caruso finished with seven assists, eight rebounds, two steals and 10 points on five attempts, while Dosunmu had five assists and 11 points on six shots.
“I’m so happy. We call it crossing the bridge,” said Krzyzewski, who announced last summer this season would be his last. “There’s nothing like being a regional champ and going to the Final Four and playing on that Saturday with three other champions. It’s an amazing day.”
During the most recent blaze, March 5, Bostic was caught on video surveillance standing over a fire with lighter fluid in his hand. That fire destroyed at least 12 units, left several residents displaced and caused about $1 million in damage, prosecutors said.
