Biggest question for the March Madness bracket is whether Miami (Ohio), at 31-1, will be included

All the metrics, analytics and number crunching in the world cannot erase the most important statistic attached to the team that has captured college basketball's imagination and its curiosity leading into March Madness.

Miami of Ohio's record is 31-1. The Redhawks were the first college basketball team in five years to enter their conference tournament with an undefeated record.

Virtually everything else about the regular-season champions of the Mid-American Conference — their 339th-ranked schedule, their zero top-caliber (Quad 1) matchups, their ugly (and only) loss... Read More

'Sinners' and 'One Battle After Another' poised for an all-Warner Bros. showdown at Academy Awards

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hollywood will convene Sunday night for a nail-biter Academy Awards that’s steering toward a coronation for either Paul Thomas Anderson or Ryan Coogler. Most would call that a win-win.

Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” is the favorite heading into the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. But Coogler’s “Sinners” comes in the lead nominee with a record 16 nominations. Both filmmakers are poised to leave with their first Oscar.

But little else is assured at an Academy Awards where Michael B. Jordan or Timothée Chalamet... Read More

CAIRO (AP) — Despite U.S. President Donald Trump's appeal to China, France, Japan, South Korea, Britain and others to send warships to keep the Strait of Hormuz “open and safe" as oil prices soar during the Iran war, no country stepped forward with a commitment on Sunday.

JERUSALEM (AP) — The brother of a man who attacked a Michigan synagogue last week, who was killed earlier this month in an Israeli airstrike, was a Hezbollah commander, Israel’s military claimed Sunday.

Ibrahim Ghazali was killed in Lebanon along with three other of the attacker’s relatives on March 5 — a week before authorities allege Ayman Mohamad Ghazali drove his car into a major synagogue outside Detroit and killed himself after security fired at him.

The FBI's Detroit office, which is investigating the attack, declined to comment on the claims by Israel's... Read More

Ejiofor leads No. 13 St. John's to 72-52 rout of No. 6 UConn for 2nd straight Big East tourney title

NEW YORK (AP) — With another St. John's championship salted away, Zuby Ejiofor walked slowly to the sideline with seconds remaining, tears trickling down the senior forward's face as he lowered his 6-foot-9 frame for multiple hugs.

Moments later, in a fitting scene dripping with symbolism, he and Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino climbed a ladder together to cut down the nets at Madison Square Garden.

No argument anymore about who owns the Big East these days. St. John's has toppled UConn.

Ejiofor had seven blocks, nine rebounds and three steals to anchor a... Read More
