In so doing, they also registered one of the largest comebacks in NCAA Tournament history. The game was marked by huge scoring runs by both teams.

Barcelona have perfect record with unmovable Umtiti The 29-year-old is on a season-long loan at Serie A club Torino from Manchester City, where he was replaced by Claudio Bravo after Pep Guardiola’s appointment.

Cassidy joined Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday to discuss Biden’s $3 trillion infrastructure bill and vaccination rates in the Bayou State. Near the end of the conversation, Wallace turned the subject to COVID-19 vaccines, asking the senator why Louisana has such an unwillingness to get the shot.

She said: “I did not like that he had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein… I made that clear to him....

Jobs and Gates have known each other for 30 years and worked both as collaborators (particularly when Microsoft was a key developer for the original Macintosh in the early 1980s) and rivals. Though there were a few barbs, what emerged was a mutual respect and, yes, affection....

A video on Jackson Galaxy’s TikTok page, @jacksongalaxy, has amassed more than four million views since being posted on Thursday. Galaxy, a cat behavior and wellness expert, captioned it: “Buster here isn’t sure what to think of his own reflection!” It shows a black cat gingerly standing up straight to eyeball their reflection in a bathroom mirror, with their ears splayed, as they tilt their head while looking at themselves....

But of course it is not for her face that women will buy the magazine; it is for the aura of flawless upper-middle-class domesticity that clings to Martha Stewart, the way the scent of doomed passion envelops Elizabeth Taylor. Over the course of eight books (beginning with “Entertaining” in 1982) she has elevated catering first to an art, then to a religion: The Cult of the Home, wherein the perfection of the place settings, centerpieces and food is a reflection of the blissful serenity of the inhabitants....

The hiring makes sense considering Freeze is one of the top offensive minds in college football and has spent the last four seasons coaching the Flames to unprecedented success. That said, he reportedly was not Auburn athletic director John Cohen’s first choice. That distinction goes to current Rebels coach Lane Kiffin. A report ahead of Rivalry Week indicated that Kiffin would take over at Auburn following the Egg Bowl, though that quickly unraveled as the coach himself denied the reports....

Austin Dillon gambled on pit strategy, then had little time to try to take advantage of it in the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway. Dillon opted not to pit when most other front-runners, except leader Martin Truex Jr., did so during caution on Lap 288. That left Dillon to restart second on older tires.

Stosur, seeded 17 at the Australian Open, obliterated Tsvetana Pironkova 6-2, 6-0 on Wednesday in a blistering performance. Stosur said her run to the third round at Melbourne Park, in which she has not lost a set, was built on a three-set triumph over Madison Brengle at the Hobart International — her first win of the Australian summer — after going luckless at the Hopman Cup. "Regardless of how you win, how good you play, how bad you play, it's always nice to win at the end of the day," Stosur said....

As the leader of a pro-life organization that honors the legacy of Susan B. Anthony and the pioneers of women’s rights, I am often asked how we know those remarkable women were pro-life. To start, Anthony’s Quaker ethic was grounded in nonviolence and the equality of men and women. As Carol Crossed, founder of the Susan B.
