Geno Auriemma takes aim at the NCAA over the women's double-regional format in March Madness

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — UConn coach Geno Auriemma is ripping the double-regional format being used in the women's NCAA Tournament, saying it doesn't make sense for the teams still playing or for efforts to grow the game.

Auriemma brought up attendance, bad shooting percentages and teams having to come to the arena early and late on the same day when taking aim at the format that's in place for the fourth year, and set to continue for at least five more.

His manager at Excel Sports, Mark Steinberg, did not respond to a request for comment Saturday on Woods' arrest.

WASHINGTON (AP) — For several hours Friday, in the stillness before dawn, the Senate appeared to have finally figured out how to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security before it faced the longest partial shutdown in U.S. history.

Senators handed House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., their deal and headed for the airports, seemingly confident of success.

Then it collapsed. Spectacularly.

An incensed Johnson marched out of his office Friday afternoon. He angrily rebuked the plan that the Senate had unanimously agreed to as a “joke.”

Ilia Malinin bounces back from Olympic nightmare with 3rd straight world figure skating title

PRAGUE (AP) — Ilia Malinin is back on the top step of the podium.

Six weeks after a disastrous free skate knocked the Olympic gold-medal favorite off the podium, the “quad god” reeled off one huge jump after another, and a backflip for good measure, to retain his world championship title for the third year running.

Malinin shouted and punched the air with relief after finishing a skate that showed he had achieved his desire to “move on” from the Olympics after days tormented by his mistakes.

He praised the crowd's support, saying: “It was really... Read More
