No. 7 Texas holds off TCU's 4th-quarter surge to come away with 29-26 road win

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:13:49 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) — No. 7 Texas withstood a furious TCU rally in the fourth quarter to hang on for a 29-26 win Saturday in Fort Worth.Leading 26-6 going into the fourth quarter, the Longhorns nearly let another big lead slip away. A huge 35-yard reception by Adonai Mitchell on third-and-12 with 1:58 left in the game gave Texas a first down and iced the game. Mitchell made a tremendous adjustment on the Quinn Ewers pass that was a bit underthrown and to Mitchell's outside shoulder. Mitchell was essentially on his back when he made the grab, and with only one timeout left, TCU couldn't stop the Longhorns from running out the clock.Texas running back Jonathon Brooks, right, dives into the end zone in front of TCU safety Millard Bradford while scoring on a touchdown run during the first half of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Nov. 11, 2023, in Fort Worth, Texas.

The Loop Fantasy Football Update Week 10: Last-minute moves

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:13:49 GMT

UPDATE: 10:25 p.m. SaturdayThe only news so far tonight, and it’s no surprise to anyone in Minnesota, is that the VIkings are not going to activate Justin Jefferson for tomorrow’s game against New Orleans. So when you add that to the absence of K.J. Osborn, it’s going to be a busy day for Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson.Remember, while the clocks are NOT turning back again in the morning this week, the NFL day begins early again with the Patriots and Colts wrapping up the European schedule with a game in Frankfurt, Germany. Beyond Jonathan Taylor, there should not be any major fantasy implications in that game.UPDATE: 12:32 p.m. SaturdayNot a whole lot of fantasy news so far this weekend, except in Cincinnati, where Joe Burrow may be missing his top two receivers for Sunday’s game against Houston.All-world wideout Ja’Marr Chase is still considered questionable because of his injured back. But now No. 2 option Tee Higgins has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury. The beneficiar...

Avalanche has several issues to fix after Blues deal it another humbling defeat

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:13:49 GMT

If there were one or two obvious issues for the Colorado Avalanche to fix, this current slump would be pretty easy to explain away.Instead, there are a lot of smaller fires to put out instead of one large one. And all of them were a problem Saturday night when the Avs were embarrassed in an 8-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues at Ball Arena. It was the club’s fifth loss in seven games, and the fourth time it’s lost by four-plus goals.Case in point: Colorado’s power play has to be better, but even when it was Saturday, there were mistakes and bad luck. The Avs can ice one of the most talented five-man units in the NHL and have consistently been one of the best teams with the man advantage in recent seasons.Colorado’s power play entered Saturday at 20th in the NHL, converting 17.4% of the time. The Avs had a power play in the second period against the Blues while trailing 3-0.For about 75 seconds, the power play looked great. Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen and Cal...

Palmer Ridge dethrones two-time champ Thompson Valley for Class 4A volleyball crown

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:13:49 GMT

The cliché sports question turned out to be the right question.Were the No. 3 Palmer Ridge Bears peaking at the right time?“I agree with that 110%,” coach Erica Bradley said. “We had a little bit of a shaky start to our season. We went through some kinks and lineup changes and had to find the right overall chemistry. But we did.”They needed every bit of that chemistry in their gut-churning, five-set victory (21-25, 25-21, 25-22, 17-25, 15-13) over No. 4 Thompson Valley in the Class 4A state championship match at the Denver Coliseum.“It was stressful, for sure, especially that last set,” said senior Corrie Anderson, who’s headed to Dayton on a scholarship. “But whenever things got tight, we huddled, took some breaths and calmed each other down.”Palmer Ridge took the back-and-forth fifth and deciding set, 15-13, as their vocal fans let loose with howls and screams.The Eagles, chasing a rare three-peat, had not dropped a single set ...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:13:49 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors’ 118-110 loss to the Cavaliers at home on Saturday night followed a similar pattern to their game in Cleveland last week.Steph Curry’s 30 points represented the Warriors’ only significant counter to Cleveland’s size and defense. The Warriors lost their second straight and fell to 6-4, 1-2 at home.The Cavaliers dominated the paint on both ends of the floor, outscoring the Warriors 50-34, and ran all over Golden State in transition, scoring 32 points off the Warriors’ 20 turnovers.Outside of Curry, no other Warrior had the offensive juice to keep pace. Jonathan Kuminga’s 12 points, Andrew Wiggins’ 13 points, and Klay Thompson’s 14 were indicative of an offense unable to generate clean looks against a long and athletic Cavs frontcourt with Evan Mobely and Jarrett Allen.The Cavaliers beat Golden State 115-114 on Nov. 5 in Cleveland, with the Warriors getting outrebounded in that game 54-44.Draymond Green ...
