Michigan rises to No. 1 in AP Top 25 men's hoops poll for 1st time since January 2013

Michigan is No. 1 in The Associated Press men's college basketball poll for the first time in 13 years, ending Arizona's nine-week reign.

The Wolverines (24-1) claimed 60 of 61 first-place votes in Monday's poll to climb one spot and supplant the Wildcats, who were unbeaten entering last week before falling at Kansas and at home to Texas Tech.

“Not much,” coach Dusty May said when asked by the AP after Saturday's rout of UCLA about the significance of potentially topping the poll. “It means we haven’t drank our own Kool-Aid. We’ve put ourselves in a position... Read More

Olympic meltdown: Norway's Atle Lie McGrath loses gold medal in slalom, then control of emotions

BORMIO, Italy (AP) — Atle Lie McGrath’s gold-medal hopes in the Olympic slalom slipped away. His ski poles were then thrown away. And then he simply stumbled away through the snow toward the woods.

It was all part of an epic Olympic meltdown that turned Monday's race into high-tragic theater.

“I thought that I would get some peace and quiet, which I didn’t,” the Norwegian ski racer said of his retreat from the course after losing out on a medal. “Because photographers and police found me out in the woods. But I just needed some time for myself.”

Rap to rev up, soul to calm down: Freestyle skiers pick their soundtracks at the Winter Olympics

LIVIGNO, Italy (AP) — Standing atop a makeshift 15-story tower, moments before hurtling down a nauseatingly steep slope for the big air jump at the Winter Olympics, freestyle skier Evan McEachran still needed that little extra burst of adrenaline.

So it’s time to crank up the tunes.

Earphones snug inside his crash helmet, McEachran got revved up listening to some rap while mentally going through the routine of acrobatic twists and turns he was about to perform while flying through the frosty night air in the Italian Alps.

“Tonight I had a little bit of... Read More

Opening statements held in the trial of a Georgia high school shooting suspect's father

A man whose teenage son is accused of killing two students and two teachers at a Georgia high school should be held responsible for providing the weapon despite warnings about alleged threats his son made, a prosecutor said Monday.

The trial of Colin Gray began Monday in one of several cases around the country where prosecutors are trying to hold parents responsible after their children are accused in fatal shootings.

Gray faces 29 counts, including two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of involuntary manslaughter and numerous counts of second-degree cruelty to... Read More

The Shaq of Bobsled: Canadian Olympian named after Shaq and Penny has a most interesting story

CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — He was named after two basketball stars, with his father hoping he would end up following in their footsteps. In a way, he has.

Meet Shaquille Anfernee Murray-Lawrence, a Canadian bobsled push athlete at the Milan Cortina Games. He was born in 1993, and yes, was named after Shaquille O'Neal and Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway, who were teammates with the Orlando Magic and teamed up to win Olympic gold for USA Basketball at the Atlanta Games in 1996.

Murray-Lawrence probably won't be winning gold at these games — he and pilot Taylor... Read More
