They are freshmen, all right. Together they have played 1,795 minutes wearing Kentucky blue, including a combined 77 in Thursday night’s 71-67 overtime loss to Arkansas, but there was rarely a hint in their time on the court they’d learned a whole lot from the 27 college games they’d played previously. It did not go unnoticed, not by those who watched them shoot a combined 7-of-27 from the field, commit seven turnovers and pass for a mere three assists during all that time against the Razorbacks, and not by the gentleman in charge of coaching them to play like sophomores....

Sometimes it’s a tossup which is worse–having breast cancer or undergoing treatment for it. Therapy can be toxic, disfiguring and ultimately futile. But breast cancer is one malignancy that doctors think they’re finally starting to beat. “Almost every month, I have a drug or an option I didn’t have the month before,” says Blackwell. Some of the most exciting advances involve genetic profiling, a technique that could soon enable doctors to tailor treatment to the precise genetic signature of a tumor....

After going 3-0 on their official plays last week, Massey-Peabody – our partners we call The Quants – are already 1-0 this week, hitting the Giants (+4) in an outright win over the Redskins last night. The Giants qualified as a “Big Play” for The Quants, bringing the record on these best bets to a nifty 7-2 on the season. Their remaining Big Play for Week 4 of the NFL season:...

Deulofeu to Milan ‘very difficult’ - agent The Catalan club retained a buy-back option on the winger when he left to join Everton on a permanent deal in 2015 and can re-sign their former player for €12 million up until the end of this week. Deulofeu, who is currently away with Spain’s Under-21 side at the European Championship in Poland, spent last season on loan at AC Milan and is now in the middle of a three-way transfer scramble for his services....

Manchester City, they said, were the greatest team of the Premier League era. But then came April. Pep Guardiola’s untouchables were dumped out of the UEFA Champions League by a rampant Liverpool who exposed them on the break time after time. And last week, with the champagne on ice at half-time as they led local rivals United 2-0 to leave themselves just 45 minutes from the Premier League title, they imploded, resulting in the most unlikely of reverses....

As President Donald Trump trails former Vice President Joe Biden in national polls, the Republican and some of his prominent allies have shared unfounded conspiracy theories about the Democrat. There have also been conspiracy theories aimed at Trump by some of his critics, especially following his positive test for coronavirus earlier this month. Here are some of the most prominent conspiracies in the run-up to the election: Child Porn on Hunter Biden’s Laptop The most recent conspiracy theory to hit headlines focuses on Hunter Biden, the former vice president’s son, and what the New York Post described as a “smoking-gun email” on a laptop obtained by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani....

The concept of blackface has been considered taboo for decades, yet many popular series have been getting away with using the harmful caricature as an edgy gag or punchline, without, it seems, truly examining its racist origins. Until now of course. The past few weeks have seen episodes of many beloved TV shows scrutinized as part of this new enlightened discourse on what has been allowed to be acceptable in the entertainment industry....

The lighthearted gesture drew a grin out of Akhmedov and both fighters embraced before their super middleweight clash, which will be the co-main event to Gennadiy Golovkin vs. Steve Rolls at “The World’s Most Famous Arena” this weekend. McDaniel has plenty of reason to smile. He has not only been gifted a second wind at boxing, but in life, period. Join DAZN and watch GGG-Rolls: Sign up in the U....

GOAL’S 360 FREESTYLERS Earlier this month, Goal headed to a skate park beneath a flyover in Manchester City Centre and invited a few of the competitors from the European Freestyle Football Championships. And thanks to Samsung’s state-of-the-art Gear 360 camera, we brought their skills to the screen in an innovative manner befitting the creative minds at work. Below, we take a look at some of the best football content to be found on the Samsung VR Platform....

Not current coaches or former coaches. Not current teammates, former teammates or former legends. Not previous games where Winston’s Florida State team annihilated opponents. And yes, not future games where FSU and Winston can do the same. MORE: Bowl matchups | Photo gallery | SN picks “Where in the rulebook does it say we can’t blow out every team we play?” Winston said. “Because it’s a championship game? We can do anything we want....

Someone goofed at Florida State's shirt printing presses and on its copy desk after Monday night's BCS Championship game. A handful of shirts with an incorrect final score sneaked by the proofreaders and went up for sale on Seminoles.com, the official athletics website of Florida State Athletics, on Tuesday morning. So close. Except, as we all know by now, Auburn lost, 34-31. The link to the misprinted shirts was later removed after the school realized the error....

One student took to Reddit to share the newly-introduced system, which carried a list of terms and conditions with it. According to the 12th grade student, the English teacher is allowing each student just three passes to use the restroom for the first quarter of the academic year. The class is 90 minutes long. Each hall pass, however, comes at the payment of five points for extra credit in either coursework, performance assessment or formal writing....

Sunday’s eruption of ash and smoke was followed on Monday morning with a magmatic eruption. The Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said eruptions of the main crater remained “continuous” for 24 hours. On Tuesday morning local time, DSOT-PHIVOLCS cautioned that activity surrounding the volcano could indicate that further eruptive activity is looming. “The biggest bang is not always at the beginning of an eruption,” Jenni Barclay, a volcanologist at the University of East Anglia, told National Geographic....

Pearson doesn’t worry that high-tech toys will stifle imagination. “I think it would be really great to grow up now,” he says. “I am 42, going on 43, and it is just starting to be good fun. In 10 years, we are going to be living a fantastic lifestyle.” Between now and then, Pearson reckons that toys will continue the trend of becoming interactive playmates for children. If he’s right (which happens 85 percent of the time, by his estimate) our children’s children’s bedrooms will look like something right out of the movie “Toy Story....

Transfer window winners and losers The Italy striker signed a four-and-a-half-year contract at St Mary’s Stadium after arriving for a reported club-record fee of £17 million. Once regarded as one of the most promising starlets of Italian football, Gabbiadini had flattered to deceive at Napoli despite a respectable maiden season at the San Paolo. The 25-year-old failed to hold down a place in Maurizio Sarri’s starting XI over two seasons, often playing second fiddle to Gonzalo Higuain, Arkadiusz Milik and Dries Mertens....

Petito, 22, is believed to have gone missing while visiting the park with Laundrie in August. She was first reported missing on September 11. She was reportedly last seen on August 24 at the Fairfield Inn & Suites in Salt Lake City. The couple had been making their way from Utah’s Arches National Park to Grand Teton. It was during this trip that she was last in contact with her family via Facetime on August 25....

The Brazil striker, nicknamed Gabigol, arrived to huge fanfare at San Siro last August, having signed on a five-year deal for a reported €29.5million from Santos. Klaassen confident he’ll score goals But the 20-year-old became one of the most puzzling cases of 2016-17, failing to start a single Serie A game and only managing one league goal in his nine substitute appearances. Gabriel apologised to Inter fans and his team-mates last month when his frustration at a debut season to forget boiled over as he petulantly left the dugout before full-time after being an unused substitute against Lazio....
