  • Michigan State Falls, Nebraska Resurrected


    Welcome back to the Big Ten Basketball Weekend Rundown.

    In this edition of the Weekend Rundown, we will review the results from Thursday to Sunday and examine where each team stands as February is upon us. Which teams won big, and which ones came up short?

    UCLA 78, No. 16 Oregon 52

    UCLA dominated No. 16 Oregon from start to finish in a 78-52 rout on Thursday night, extending their winning streak to five games. Eric Dailey Jr. was nearly unstoppable, scoring 21 points on 8-of-9 shooting, while Dylan Andrews and Tyler Bilodeau each contributed 15 for the Bruins.

    UCLA’s victory marked their fourth over a ranked team this season and completed a season sweep of the Ducks. Oregon struggled offensively, with Nate Bittle leading the way with just 13 points. They have now dropped two straight, while UCLA looks like a team gaining momentum at the right time.

    Nebraska 80, No. 18 Illinois 74

    Nebraska snapped a six-game losing streak in dramatic fashion, taking down No. 18 Illinois 80-74 in overtime on Thursday night. Brice Williams was the hero, scoring eight of his game-high 27 points in the extra period to help the Huskers secure their third win over a ranked opponent this season—a feat they hadn’t accomplished since 2013-14.

    The Illini saw their dominance over Nebraska come to an end despite a balanced effort led by Kasparas Jakucionis’ 18 points. Williams took over in overtime, hitting clutch shots to put Nebraska in control, while Illinois could not keep pace down the stretch.

    Ohio State 83, Penn State 64

    Ohio State kept its momentum rolling with an impressive 83-64 road win over Penn State on Thursday night, powered by freshman John Mobley Jr.’s all-around performance. Mobley filled the stat sheet with 19 points, eight assists, and six rebounds, while Bruce Thornton caught fire from deep, hitting five threes on his way to 17 points.

    The Buckeyes have now won three straight and looked in control throughout. Meanwhile, Penn State continued its struggles, dropping its seventh game in the last eight despite Yanic Konan Niederhauser’s 21-point effort. The Nittany Lions couldn’t slow down Ohio State’s efficient offense, and their own inconsistency on both ends made it tough to mount a comeback.

    No. 10 Purdue 81, Indiana 76

    Purdue pulled out a hard-fought 81-76 win over rival Indiana on Friday night, thanks to Braden Smith’s season-high 24 points and a clutch go-ahead shot from Trey Kaufman-Renn with 11 seconds remaining.

    Indiana’s Mackenzie Mgbako led all scorers with 25 points. However, the Hoosiers couldn’t hold on late, dropping their sixth in the last seven games. The game saw six lead changes in the final four minutes before Kaufman-Renn’s hook shot gave Purdue the lead for good at 77-76.

    USC 70, No. 7 Michigan State 64

    USC pulled off a major upset Saturday afternoon, taking down No. 7 Michigan State 70-64 and snapping the Spartans’ 13-game winning streak. Desmond Claude led the Trojans with 19 points and USC never trailed in the game.

    Michigan State had a chance to close the gap late but was called for a shot clock violation with 39.3 seconds left. On the ensuing possession, USC’s Saint Thomas found Yates for a cross-court pass and dunk, sealing the win and the biggest upset of Big Ten play so far.

    No. 17 Wisconsin 75, Northwestern 69

    John Tonje exploded for 27 points as No. 17 Wisconsin rallied in the second half to defeat Northwestern 75-69 on Saturday.

    Trailing late, the Badgers responded with a crucial 14-3 run to seize control. Carter Gilmore was instrumental in that stretch, scoring seven of his 15 points. Jalen Leach paced Northwestern with 23 points and seven assists, but the Wildcats struggled late, making just one field goal during the Badgers’ decisive run.

    Washington 71, Minnesota 68

    Tyler Harris led Washington with 23 points and the Huskies held off Minnesota 71-68 on Saturday. Washington snapped a six-game losing streak and picked up just its second win over a power conference opponent this season.

    Minnesota’s Dawson led a furious comeback and tied the game at 64 with a free throw late in the second half, but Great Osobor responded with a key three-point sequence to push Washington ahead. Garcia scored again to cut the deficit to 67-66 with 12 seconds remaining, but Washington sank free throws in the closing moments to secure the Huskies’ victory.

    Michigan 66, Rutgers 63

    Danny Wolf led Michigan with 16 points and 14 rebounds as the Wolverines held off Rutgers 66-63 on Saturday for their second straight win. Rutgers relied heavily on its bench, with Jamichael Davis scoring a game-high 20 points and Tyson Acuff adding 14.

    Rutgers made multiple pushes in the second half, cutting it to 46-44 on a Zach Martini triple with under eight minutes left. Michigan answered with key free throws, extending the lead to 57-50 after two from Goldin. Davis drained a late three to get Rutgers within four, but Michigan’s defense held in the final moments to secure the victory.

    Nebraska 77, No. 16 Oregon 71

    Brice Williams led Nebraska with 28 points, seven rebounds, and six assists as the Huskers upset No. 16 Oregon 77-71 on Sunday night. Juwan Gary added 23 points as Nebraska earned its fourth win over a ranked opponent this season. The Cornhuskers controlled most of the game, using key defensive stops and efficient shooting to fend off Oregon’s comeback attempt.

    The Ducks trailed by double digits in the second half but clawed back, cutting the deficit to five with just over six minutes remaining. TJ Bamba’s three-point play made it a four-point game in the final minute, but Nebraska sealed the win with clutch free throws from Williams and Gary. It was a monster victory from the Huskers, whose season may be turning around.

    No. 18 Illinois 87, Ohio State 79

    Will Riley scored 20 of his 24 points in the second half as No. 18 Illinois erased an 11-point deficit to defeat Ohio State 87-79 on Sunday. The Illini surged ahead with a decisive 15-0 run late in the second half. Morez Johnson Jr. contributed a double-double with 14 points and 15 rebounds, while Kylan Boswell added 14 points.

    Ohio State saw its three-game winning streak snapped despite a dominant first half from Devin Royal, who finished with 29 points, including 19 before halftime. Illinois tightened up defensively in the second half, limiting Ohio State’s offense while capitalizing on transition opportunities to complete the comeback.

  • Southern Cal falls to No. 7 in AP Top 25 women’s basketball poll


    Southern Cal’s second loss of the season dropped the Trojans to seventh in The Associated Press Top 25 women’s basketball poll Monday.

    The previously No. 4 Trojans were shocked Sunday by the host Iowa Hawkeyes 76-69 on the day that Caitlin Clark’s jersey was retired. USC’s only other loss came at home to Notre Dame in November.

    UCLA, South Carolina and Notre Dame remained the top three teams in the rankings. The Bruins received all 32 first-place votes in the poll from a national media panel, picking up the one that the Gamecocks garnered last week.

    The Bruins beat Minnesota 79-53 in their lone game last week to remain as the only unbeaten team in the country. South Carolina knocked off then-No. 18 Tennessee and Auburn. The victory over the Tigers on Sunday came on a day when the Gamecocks retired the jersey of A’ja Wilson.

    Texas, UConn and LSU all moved up a spot to follow the Fighting Irish. Ohio State, TCU and Duke remained eight through 10.

    No. 11 Kentucky has its best ranking in four years behind first-year coach Kenny Brooks. The Wildcats (19-2), who last were ranked this high in 2021, have their bye week before hitting a tough stretch of the SEC schedule to close the regular season. They still have games left against South Carolina, LSU, Texas and Tennessee.

    The Wildcats’ only losses this season came against North Carolina on Dec. 5 and Texas A&M on Jan. 23.

    CONFERENCE BREAKDOWN

    With no new teams in the poll this week, the Southeastern Conference remained atop the standings with eight teams ranked. The ACC had seven. The Big Ten was next with five. The Big 12 has four ranked teams and the Big East one.

    GAMES OF THE WEEK

    No. 9 TCU at No. 12 Kansas State (Wednesday): First place in the Big 12 will be on the line when the Horned Frogs visit the Wildcats. Both teams are 9-1 in conference play.

    No. 5 UConn at No. 19 Tennessee (Thursday): These two will renew their rivalry with the Huskies visiting the Lady Vols. It will be the first time that UConn sees Tennessee coach Kim Caldwell’s pressing style.

    No. 2 South Carolina at No. 4 Texas (Sunday): The Longhorns will try to avenge a 17-point loss in Columbia last month. South Carolina has a one-game lead in the standings on the Longhorns, Kentucky and LSU.



    Southern Cal women’s basketball team has fallen to No. 7 in the latest AP Top 25 poll. Despite a strong start to the season, the Trojans have suffered a couple of losses recently, causing them to drop in the rankings.

    The team will need to regroup and refocus in order to climb back up the rankings and make a push for the top spot. With plenty of talent and potential, Southern Cal has the ability to bounce back and make a statement in the remainder of the season.

    Fans and supporters of the Trojans will be eagerly watching to see how the team responds to this setback and how they perform in the upcoming games. Stay tuned for more updates on Southern Cal women’s basketball as they look to make a run in the rankings.

  • No. 5 Michigan State Falls in Road Battle with No. 6 Bruins


    LOS ANGELES – In a battle until the very last routine, No. 5 Michigan State gymnastics fell to sixth-ranked UCLA, 197.300-197.200, Saturday afternoon in Pauley Pavilion. 

    MSU falls to 5-2 (2-1 B1G), while UCLA moves to 6-2 (3-0 B1G). The Spartans broke 197.000 for the second time this season and earned their second-highest score of the season with their 197.200. 

    “What an amazing meet with obvious highs and not-so-highs, but the environment in Pauley was insane and we knew the competition was tough and that it’d be close,” said head coach Mike Rowe.  “We could’ve made up for one tenth in numerous places. I was happy with our bars start, but we stuck two of six dismounts. The team moved on to vault, knowing that we had what we needed to put us ahead, and they were on fire. So proud of our vault line up for stepping up, taking charge and doing what they do in practice every day. A new program record too. I thought we had a pretty decent “Floor Party” going on with a couple of slight landing faults but still true to our performance level and having a great time with it.  Going to beam wasn’t typical but once again, I thought we’d hold our lead and be okay.  We still have room for improvement on every event and we definitely will be better on every event. It’s only week five and a there’s a lot of season left and we will be better. Happy to grab a 197 on the road to help our NQS for post-season seeding.”

    MSU captured event titles on both vault and bars, while junior Nikki Smith earned her third all-around title of the season with a 39.475. The Spartans also put up a program-record 49.600 on vault to highlight the meet. 

    With the Bruins on vault and Spartans on bars, UCLA took a narrow 49.350-49.300 lead over the MSU after the first rotation. Kellerman led the Spartans in the fifth spot with a season-high tying 9.925 to win her second event title of the season on the event. Fifth-year senior Delanie Harkness captured runner-up honors with a 9.875 and freshman Amy Doyle tied a career-high 9.850 to finish in a tie for third. Senior Gabrielle Stephen and junior Olivia Zsarmani scored 9.825s. 

    A spectacular vault rotation gave the Spartans a 98.900-98.500 lead over the Bruins at the halfway point. MSU stuck four out of six vaults for the second week in a row and for its program-record 49.600, which was also the highest score on the event by any team in the country this season. Kellerman, Smith and Zsarmani shared the event title with matching 9.950s. Smith’s score was her fourth 9.950 in five meets on the event and her fourth stick on vault this season. Doyle posted the first 9.900 score of her career on the event with a stuck, career-high 9.900. Sophomore MaKayla Tucker led off with a 9.850 and and Stephen scored a 9.800. 

    MSU increased its lead over the Bruins to 0.70 after a 49.300 on floor in the third rotation. Smith earned the best score of the night on the event for MSU with a 9.900. Stephen scored a 9.875, while Tucker and Harkness scored 9.850s and Schulte earned a 9.825 in the anchor spot. 

    The Spartans closed the meet on beam with a 49.000. Smith finished second to lead the Spartans with a season-high tying 9.875, while Stephen anchored with a 9.825 and Schulte added a 9.800. The final result came down to the last routine of the meet, as UCLA’s Jordan Chiles 10.000 in UCLA’s sixth and final floor routine put the Bruins up a tenth after UCLA scored a 9.900, 9.950 and a pair of 9.975s in the four routines prior for a 49.800 on the event. 

    Stephen finished third in the all-around behind Smith and UCLA’s Chae Campbell with a 39.325. 

    MSU returns home on Saturday, Feb. 8 at 7 p.m. against Minnesota at Jenison Field House. The meet will stream on B1G+. 



    In a highly anticipated matchup between two top-10 teams, No. 5 Michigan State fell short on the road against No. 6 UCLA. Despite putting up a valiant effort, the Spartans couldn’t overcome the Bruins’ strong offensive performance.

    The game was a back-and-forth battle from start to finish, with both teams trading leads throughout. Michigan State’s defense struggled to contain UCLA’s high-powered offense, allowing the Bruins to score at will.

    Despite the loss, the Spartans showed resilience and fought until the final buzzer. They will look to bounce back and learn from this tough road loss as they continue their quest for a successful season.

    The matchup between Michigan State and UCLA was a thrilling display of top-tier college basketball, showcasing the talent and competitiveness of both teams. Fans can expect more exciting games from these powerhouse programs as the season progresses.

    Kaspa: A New Cryptocurrency for Faster and Safer Transactions

    Kaspa is a new cryptocurrency that aims to make digital money faster and more secure. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies that can be slow and leave some data unused, Kaspa uses a special GHOSTDAG technology. This allows multiple blocks (groups of transactions) created simultaneously to exist together. Instead of choosing one and ignoring the others, Kaspa smartly orders them all. This means it can handle more transactions quickly—currently, one block per second, with plans to reach 10 or even 100 per second. As a result, sending and receiving money becomes almost instant.

    In today’s fast-paced market, Kaspa’s technology makes it stand out. Features like easy network checking, reducing data storage needs, and building support for future upgrades show its strong potential. Kaspa offers solutions to common issues like slow speeds and scalability problems compared to other cryptocurrencies. For those interested in the evolving world of digital currencies, Kaspa presents an attractive option. Its focus on speed and innovation could make it a key player in the next cycle of cryptocurrency growth.

    Sui: Pioneering a User-Friendly Revolution in Blockchain Technology

    Blockchain technology is evolving, and Sui is at the forefront of this transformation. Sui is a groundbreaking layer-1 blockchain platform designed for global adoption. It offers developers a secure, powerful, and scalable development environment worldwide. What sets Sui apart is its unique object-centric data model and the secure Move programming language. These innovations tackle the inefficiencies of many existing blockchains, making transactions faster and more efficient.

    In the current market, user experience is crucial, and Sui places it at the heart of its platform. By introducing features like zkLogin and sponsored transactions, Sui removes common barriers that users face when interacting with blockchain applications. Programmable transaction blocks offer more flexibility, making applications on Sui more accessible and user-friendly. Compared to other coins, Sui’s focus on technical excellence and ease of use makes it an attractive option in today’s market cycle. As trends shift towards scalable and user-centric blockchain solutions, Sui’s potential to stand out becomes increasingly evident. It’s a platform that could reshape how we interact with blockchain technology.

    Stellar Lumens: Bridging Currencies for Fast Global Transactions

    Stellar Lumens (XLM) is changing how money moves across the world. It’s a digital currency on the Stellar network, which started in 2014. With Stellar, people can send money—dollars, euros, bitcoin—to anyone, anywhere, quickly and cheaply. The network doesn’t favor any one currency. Instead, it connects different systems so they can work together. Big companies use Stellar to build blockchain apps, handle payments, and exchange currencies. The Stellar Development Foundation supports the network and helps others use it to create NFTs and smart contracts.

    In today’s market, XLM stands out because it aims to improve the current system, not replace it. While many cryptocurrencies try to upend traditional banking, Stellar works alongside it. This approach makes XLM appealing to individuals and businesses looking for practical solutions. Stellar’s technology becomes more attractive as the demand for fast and cheap global payments grows. Compared to other coins, XLM has real-world partnerships and a clear purpose. This could make it a strong contender in the current market cycle, especially as more people look for efficient ways to move money internationally.

    Luna Classic: A Second Chance for Terra’s Original Vision

    Luna Classic (LUNC) is the original token of the Terra blockchain, now rebranded as Terra Classic. Launched in 2019, Terra aimed to revolutionize global payments using stablecoins pegged to various fiat currencies. It combined the stability of traditional money with the decentralization of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. In May 2022, Terra split into two chains after a significant collapse similar to Ethereum’s DAO hack in 2017. The new chain kept Terra (LUNA), while the original became Terra Classic (LUNC). The stablecoins were rebranded, and the new Terra chain no longer supports them.

    Is LUNC an attractive option in the current market? Its technology offers fast and affordable transactions with price stability—a valuable proposition in the volatile crypto world. While it faces stiff competition from other platforms, Luna Classic carries the potential of its original vision. If the community can rebuild trust and demonstrate resilience, LUNC might capitalize on the growing interest in stable and efficient payment systems. As the crypto market matures, coins that balance innovation with reliability could be in a strong position, and Luna Classic aims to be among them.

    Conclusion

    While KAS, SUI, XLM, and LUNC are promising hedges, XYZVerse (XYZ) stands out by uniting sports fans in a memecoin aiming for 20,000% growth and community-driven success.

  • Kansas suffers its largest blown lead in loss, falls to Baylor


    WACO, Texas — Kansas blowing the biggest lead in a loss in the storied program’s history didn’t cost coach Bill Self his sense of humor.

    “I honestly believe that the oranges that we ate at halftime that Baylor provided was probably the reason why we [were bad] in the second half,” Self said after the No. 11 Jayhawks couldn’t protect a 21-point lead from late in the first half in an 81-70 loss to the Bears on Saturday.

    The stunning reversal topped the 20-point lead Kansas blew to Arizona, which was No. 1, at Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 27, 2003.

    Interestingly, both times the Jayhawks have led by at least 20 points and lost, it was a double-digit setback. In a 91-74 victory 22 years ago, the Wildcats stormed back from a 44-24 deficit.

    Another reason for Self to be more subdued than irate was the scene in the locker room.

    “I really didn’t say much,” Self said. “I don’t think in situations like that there’s really a lot to be said. Any type of pick-’em-up talk isn’t going to be heard. And there’s no reason to get on anybody.”

    Freshman Robert Wright III scored 20 of his 24 points for the Bears (14-7, 6-4 Big 12) after the break, when Kansas led 40-21 after going ahead 38-17 in the final minutes of the first half.

    Baylor opened the second half on a 26-6 run, capped by Wright’s free throws for a 47-46 lead, sparking one of several deafening roars from the sellout crowd at Foster Pavilion.

    The Jayhawks (15-6, 6-4) got the lead back to 10 and were still up eight with six minutes to go, when Baylor finished on a 26-7 run to cap a 60-point second half.

    Jalen Celestine‘s tiebreaking 3-pointer put the Bears up for good 66-63 with four minutes remaining.

    Baylor completed the rally without VJ Edgecombe, the team’s leading scorer in Big 12 games. The Bears were in the middle of the big comeback when the freshman, who had 14 points, limped to the locker room due to an injury. He didn’t return.

    “If you don’t believe in miracles, that second half, such a limited bench and against a Hall of Fame coach and a great team that don’t beat themselves,” Baylor coach Scott Drew said. “I think our crowd deserves a lot of credit. We only had 11 assists, but I think the crowd gets 10 of them.”

    The collapse by the Jayhawks came a week after sixth-ranked Houston pulled off improbable rallies in the final seconds of regulation and the first overtime in a double-OT win at Allen Fieldhouse.

    “Yeah, there’s some concern,” Self said. “It was two different type games. The way the [Baylor] game ended was indicative of how the entire second half went. It wasn’t just a closeout.”

    The Jayhawks had a 20-0 edge in bench scoring at the break, but Celestine helped to close that gap by going 4-of-6 on 3-pointers after halftime. The final bench scoring margin was 28-12.

    Kansas had three fewer turnovers (14) than Baylor, but was outscored 24-11 in points off turnovers. The Bears scored 15 of those points after the break, and the Jayhawks shot 36% in the second half.

    Hunter Dickinson scored 20 points for the Jayhawks, who didn’t get consistent scoring from anyone else.

    “They were as good as we were the first half, plus,” Self said of the second half. “And we were as bad as they were the first half, plus.”



    In a heartbreaking turn of events, the Kansas Jayhawks suffered their largest blown lead in program history as they fell to the Baylor Bears in a stunning upset.

    Despite holding a sizable lead for most of the game, the Jayhawks were unable to maintain their momentum and allowed Baylor to come storming back in the second half. The Bears capitalized on turnovers and missed opportunities by Kansas, ultimately sealing the victory in the final minutes of the game.

    The loss marks a significant setback for the Jayhawks, who were considered a top contender in the conference. It serves as a harsh reminder that no lead is safe in college basketball and underscores the importance of maintaining focus and composure until the final buzzer.

    Kansas will need to regroup and refocus as they look to bounce back from this devastating defeat and continue their pursuit of a conference title. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but the Jayhawks must learn from this experience and come back stronger in their next game.

  • OnlyFans porn star falls to death while filming threesome


    A 27-year-old porn star who posts videos to OnlyFans reportedly fell to her death after inviting two men to film a threesome in Brazil.

    Anna Beatriz Pereira Alves, whose professional name was Anna Polly, appears to have fallen from a balcony and into a courtyard while shooting a sex scene at the Mont Blanc Apart Hotel outside of Rio de Janeiro last week, according to The Mirror.

    The men involved in the ill-fated project allegedly gave inconsistent statements to authorities, but neither was immediately arrested.

    Police are reportedly reviewing the hotel’s CCTV footage, interviewing staff and looking through Alves’ phone to determine whether her death was a crime. It’s unclear whether drugs or sexual violence were a factor as autopsy and toxicology reports are pending.

    “It’s a complex case, and we don’t rule out any possibility, from an accident to a possible crime,” a homicide investigator reportedly said.

    Alves boyfriend, Pedro Henrique, who was not involved in the incident, told local media there will be justice if Alves’ death wasn’t accidental.

    “As the hours pass it’s starting to sink in and the hole in my heart is only getting bigger,” he said.

  • Pope Francis stumbles and nearly falls after walking stick handle snaps


    Pope Francis nearly tumbled to the Vatican floor Saturday, when the handle of his walking stick snapped.

    But the 88-year-old was able to catch himself, stumbling briefly as he entered the auditorium to address an audience.

    After the slip, a pair of aides rushed to the pontiff’s side, and helped him into his chair on stage.

    “Viva il Papa,” shouted a member of the crowd, eliciting applause from the others gathered to hear him speak.

    Pope Francis has notoriously bad knees, which have caused him to fall twice recently.

    He has used wheelchairs and walking sticks to get around, while also battling chronic health problems, including long bouts of bronchitis.

    The pope hurt his arm earlier this month in a fall. While he didn’t fracture it, doctors nevertheless had him wear a sling.

    And back on Dec. 7, 2024, Francis fell in his bedroom, and smacked his chin on a nightstand, leaving him with some visible bruising.

    With Post wires.



    Pope Francis had a scare during a recent public appearance when his walking stick handle snapped, causing him to stumble and nearly fall. The incident occurred as the Pope was greeting a crowd of well-wishers, highlighting the importance of safety precautions even for the most prominent figures. Thankfully, Pope Francis was able to regain his balance and continue with his duties, showing resilience and grace in the face of adversity. Let’s all keep the Pope in our thoughts and wish him well as he carries out his important work.
