“I think of a top centerman, that’s a checking, playing both ends of the ice,” King said. “He seems really focused on it and I like how he’s playing. “He’s an offensive kid and he probably wants to get more points and help the team that way, but he’s got to learn to play this way because a lot of times, even if you’re on the road, you’re going to go up against top lines, so why not be good at checking top lines?”
“We had to really, really rely on our defense and rebounding in the second half,” Connecticut coach Dan Hurley said. “ObviouslyR.J. carried us on a night where we had a ton of guys just struggling individually offensively. I wish we would’ve played better, but you’re never upset when you walk away with a road win in this league.”

After missing nine of their first 10 shots, the Wildcats stormed back to make it a game, ending the half trailing 24-19 after shooting only 23% (6-for-26). But Pete Nance and the Wildcats’ defensive effort managed to prevent Cockburn and Trent Frazier, who had an off night with 2-for-10 shooting, from turning it into a blowout.
NFL Network also reported the Bears were interviewing Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers coach Sanjay Lal for the offensive coordinator position. Lal has been a wide receivers coach in the NFL since 2007 with the Oakland Raiders, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, Indianapolis Colts, Dallas Cowboys, Seattle Seahawks and now the Jaguars this season.
Brady had cited a desire to spend more time with his wife and children despite still playing at the top of his game. Brady led the NFL in yards passing (5,316), touchdowns (43), completions (485) and attempts (719), but the Buccaneers lost at home to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday in the divisional round.
“The biggest adjustment for us is Ayo’s taken over that responsibility as a starter,” Donovan said. “When we had been whole with Lonzo and Alex, he’d been off the ball quite a bit. He slashed to the basket, got out in transition, a lot of catch-and-go drives, those kind of things. And now all of a sudden he’s having to get us in that offense.”
In the original depiction of the mascot, which debuted in the early 1970s, Herbie’s left hand made the “OK” sign with the index finger and thumb forming a closed circle. In recent years, some hate groups have come to use the gesture as a sign for white power — three straight fingers make a “W” and the circle formed next to an extended finger make a “P.”
Barty had reached the quarterfinals at her home major in the three previous years and was the top seed for the third straight year, but her best run until Saturday at Melbourne Park was a semifinal loss to eventual champion Sofia Kenin in 2020. The pressure of home expectations had taken a toll in the past. This time, she said, she was just rolling with it.
It’s pretty awesome. To be honest, when I was 19 years old it was a whole new world that opened up for me, but I wasn’t aware of the impact it would have. Look at it now with someone like Emma Meesseman, who won a Finals MVP (in 2019), or a youngster like Julie Allemand. That’s already two other Belgians. I’m pretty sure Belgium is smaller than Illinois (laughs). Of course I am proud of the championships and cups, but to see what comes behind you and inspire people to say, “Why not? We are from Belgium and we can do this.” It’s really exciting to see.
