Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler are in the game.

ESPN “College GameDay” analyst Herbstreit and network broadcaster Fowler announced Thursday on social media they will be voices in EA Sports' upcoming college football video game. Analysts David Pollack and Jesse Palmer made similar announcements.

The broadcasting updates came the same day that media outlets, including ESPN, reported FBS football players were receiving invitations from EA Sports to have their name, image and likeness in the game, which the developer has said would be launching in summer 2024.

John Reseburg, vice president of marketing, communications and partnerships at EA Sports, said Thursday on social media that the game is a “scale of NIL that has never been done before.”

“More than 11,000 individual NIL deals all at once. Guaranteed income for athletes that opt-in. It’s in the game," Reseburg tweeted.

EA Sports College Football 25 will feature all 134 FBS teams, the video-game developer announced.

Notre Dame's inclusion had been a big question mark since the school said in 2021 it would not participate “until such time as rules have been finalized governing the participation of our student-athletes.” But the Fighting Irish's athletic director, Jack Swarbrick, said Tuesday they're in.

“The work that EA SPORTS is doing to provide over 11,000 college student-athletes opportunities to benefit directly from their name, image and likeness is a first-of-its-kind undertaking and we’re proud to have been involved in the process,” Swarbrick said in a statement on social media.

Sean O’Brien, EA Sports vice president of business development, told ESPN that players who opt in will receive $600 and a copy of the game.

A generic avatar created “based on the traditional strength or weakness of a position over the past decade for that school" will be used in place of players who opt out, Daryl Holt, EA Sports senior vice president, told ESPN.

Holt also told the network that gamers will not be able to create an opted-out player, but “I won’t reveal how we’re dealing with that."

By JOHN PERROTTO Associated Press

Eric Hosmer announced his retirement from baseball Wednesday following a 13-year career that included winning four Gold Gloves and helping lead Kansas City to victory in the 2015 World Series.

Hosmer, 34, was released by the Chicago Cubs on May 25 after hitting .234 with two home runs in 31 games. The first baseman decided not to pursue any other playing opportunities.

“You have to be 110% committed and doing what is necessary both physically and mentally to play at the major league level and I reached a point where I wasn’t there anymore,” Hosmer said. “I’m very satisfied with my career. I feel like I accomplished a lot, was around a lot of great people and have a lot of good stories to tell.”

Hosmer will begin telling those stories on air after partnering with former minor league teammate Anthony Seratelli to form MoonBall Media, which is launching a podcast called “Diggin’ Deep.” Hosmer will be one of the show’s hosts.

“Now that the playing days are over, I feel like I have so many fun stories that I want to give back,” Hosmer said.

Kansas City selected Hosmer third overall in the 2008 amateur draft and he made his major league debut three years later. He spent seven seasons with the Royals before signing an eight-year, $144 million contract with San Diego before the 2018 season.

Hosmer played five seasons for the Padres before being traded to Boston in 2022, then finishing up with the Cubs last year. He had a .276 career batting average and 198 home runs.

The Barton Community College softball team made a rare trip to northeast Kansas on Wednesday in dropping 5-1 and 8-2 contests at Division II No. 8 ranked Johnson County Community College.

The host Cavaliers put game one's decisive four runs on the board in the second inning then in the nightcap plated another four in their first at-bat with another three crossing in the second frame as the Cougars stranded eleven runners preventing a comeback.

Barton slips to 2-6 on the year in final preparation for conference play beginning Saturday with a 1:00 p.m. doubleheader at Dodge City Community College. Johnson County improves to 5-3 on the season.

Laci Dryden led the Cougars' fourteen hits on the afternoon with a trio of connections, 2-for-3 in the opener including driving in Barton's lone run in the third frame of the opener before driving in sister Lani Dryden with a two-out triple slicing the deficit to 4-2 in the second inning of nightcap.

Allyson McDougal drove in the Cougars' other run on the day by putting Barton briefly out-front in game two on a one-out, first frame hit scoring Laci's leadoff walk.

DALLAS (AP) —
There are already discussions about possibly expanding the College
Football Playoff again. A day after the yearslong process was
finalized for how the 12 teams for the expanded playoff will be
selected for the next two seasons, the potential of a 14-team bracket
for 2026 and beyond was brought up during a meeting of the CFP
management committee in Dallas on Wednesday. Governance of the
playoff, the format and the distribution of growing revenue after the
next two seasons were all discussed in the meeting that lasted nearly
nine hours. ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips says it was a productive
and collegial meeting.

WACO, Texas (AP) —
Dre’una Edwards scored 20 points and No. 24 Baylor defeated Kansas
69-61 reaching 20 wins for the 24th-straight season. The Bears had a
65-50 lead when Edwards scored inside with 4:43 to play before the
Jayhawks put together an 11-2 run, pulling within 67-61 on a Zakiyah
Franklin 3-pointer. But Jada Walker made two free throws with 32.9
seconds remaining to wrap to it up. Freshman S’Mya Nichols was 10
of 10 from the foul line and matched her career high with 23 points
for the Jayhawks, who had their five-game winning streak snapped.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP)
— Ayoka Lee scored 34 points and No. 10 Kansas State rallied to
beat No. 22 West Virginia 73-64 in overtime Wednesday night. Lee
scored the opening basket of overtime which was followed by a
two-pointer by Serena Sundell for an early four point lead in the
extra frame. The Wildcats (23-4, 12-3 Big 12) used a 9-0 run in
overtime to win by nine. Kansas State was up 57-53 after Eliza Maupin
made the second of two free throws with 10 seconds left. JJ Quinerly
then hit a 3-pointer with 5 seconds remaining to get the Mountaineers
(22-4, 11-4) within one. Lee made the second of two free throws a
second later and Jordan Harrison beat the buzzer with a layup to send
the game to overtime.

CINCINNATI (AP) —
Javon Small scored 19 points and Jamyron Keller scored 15 and
Oklahoma State beat Cincinnati 80-76 and put a severe dent in the
Bearcats’ NCAA Tournament hopes. Eric Dailey Jr.’s 3 with 3:01
left put Oklahoma State 69-68 and the Cowboys never trailed again.
Dan Skillings turned it over for the Bearcats on their following
possession, and after Dailey rebound his miss off a short-shot
attempt, he threw the ball out to Wright who sank a 3 for a
four-point lead with 2:15 to go. Simas Lukosius scored 17 points for
Cincinnati.

HOBE SOUND, Fla.
(AP) — Charlie Woods is taking the first step toward trying to play
on the PGA Tour. The 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods is in the
pre-qualifier Thursday for the Cognizant Classic. Roughly the leading
25 players advance to the Monday qualifier. Only four players get
into the tournament. Charlie Woods is no stranger to the spotlight.
He's been playing with his father in the PNC Championship the last
four years. That's the 36-hole event in which major champions team up
with a family member. Charlie Woods will be on his own this time at
Lost Lake Golf Club.

Oklahoma State beat Cincinnati 80-76 and put a severe dent in the
Bearcats’ NCAA Tournament hopes. Eric Dailey Jr.’s 3 with 3:01
left put Oklahoma State 69-68 and the Cowboys never trailed again.
Dan Skillings turned it over for the Bearcats on their following
possession, and after Dailey rebound his miss off a short-shot
attempt, he threw the ball out to Wright who sank a 3 for a
four-point lead with 2:15 to go. Simas Lukosius scored 17 points for
Cincinnati.HOBE SOUND, Fla.
(AP) — Charlie Woods is taking the first step toward trying to play
on the PGA Tour. The 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods is in the
pre-qualifier Thursday for the Cognizant Classic. Roughly the leading
25 players advance to the Monday qualifier. Only four players get
into the tournament. Charlie Woods is no stranger to the spotlight.
He's been playing with his father in the PNC Championship the last
four years. That's the 36-hole event in which major champions team up
with a family member. Charlie Woods will be on his own this time at
Lost Lake Golf Club.WEDNESDAY SCORESTOP-25 COLLEGE

UNDATED (AP) — The
field for the 12-team College Football Playoff will comprise five
conference champions and seven at-large selections after the
university presidents who oversee the CFP voted unanimously to tweak
the format. The move to decrease the number of spots reserved for
conference champions from six to five was prompted by realignment,
including the demise of the Pac-12. The original plan for the 12-team
format was to have the six highest-ranked conference champions, with
the top four receiving first-round byes, and six at-large selections.

PROVO, Utah (AP) —
Aly Khalifa had 14 points, seven assists, and seven rebounds to lead
No. 25 BYU to a 78-71 victory over No. 11 Baylor on Tuesday night.
Jaxson Robinson scored 16 points and Trevin Knell added 13 for the
Cougars (19-7, 7-6 Big 12), who earned their third home victory over
a Top 25 opponent this season. Jalen Bridges finished with 15 points
and eight rebounds to lead the Bears. Ja’Kobe Walter and Yves Missi
tallied 13 points apiece for Baylor (19-7, 8-5), which lost for just
the second time in seven games.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP)
— Pop Isaacs scored 19 points and put 23rd-ranked Texas Tech ahead
to stay with a three-point play with 39 seconds remaining as the Red
Raiders rallied late for an 82-81 win over TCU. Texas Tech trailed
69-59 with 6:55 left. Isaacs scored nine of his points after that,
including two more free throws with 12 seconds left. Darrion
Williams, Joe Toussaint and Kerwin Walton each had 14 points for the
19-7 Red Raiders. Emanuel Miller and Avery Anderson III each had 15
points to lead six players scoring in double figures for 18-8 TCU.
Jameer Nelson had 14 points.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
(AP) — RaeQuan Battle scored 24 points and West Virginia never
trailed in a 77-67 win over UCF. Jesse Edwards added 15 points and 10
rebounds while Quinn Slazinski scored 14 for West Virginia. The
Mountaineers broke a four-game losing streak and moved out of a
last-place tie with idle Oklahoma State. Battle fared much better
than the last time he faced UCF, when he was held to five points and
was ejected on Jan. 23. UCF has lost four straight. Darius Johnson
scored a career-high 29 points and Marchelus Avery added 14 for UCF.
Leading scorer Jaylin Sellers was limited to six points on 1 of 11
shooting.

UNDATED (AP) —
Texas Tech forward Darrion Williams is The Associated Press national
men’s college basketball player of the week after a perfect
shooting performance in a rout of then-No. 6 Kansas last week. He was
12 for 12 from the field, hitting all four 3s, and 2 for 2 from the
foul line in scoring a career-high 30 points. Williams also had 11
rebounds against the Jayhawks. Blake Hinson of Pittsburgh is the
runner-up after scoring 27 points in a win over then-No. 21 Virginia,
then hitting nine 3-pointers and scoring 41 points in a win over
Louisville.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) —
Steven Ashworth scored 16 of his 20 points in the first half as
Creighton built a double-digit lead, and the No. 15 Bluejays knocked
off UConn 85-66 for their first win over a No. 1-ranked team.
Creighton led by 23 points with 10 minutes left but saw its lead cut
to 10 before holding the Huskies scoreless on five straight
possessions, rebuilding their cushion and prompting students to leave
their seats to prepare for their court storming. UConn had its
14-game win streak end three days after it beat then-No. 4 Marquette
by 28 points for one of the most impressive victories of the season.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.
(AP) — Two men have been charged with murder in last week’s
shooting after the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade. Court
documents released Tuesday say the men were strangers who pulled out
guns and began firing within seconds of starting an argument.
Missouri prosecutors said at a news conference that Lyndell Mays, of
Raytown, Missouri, and Dominic Miller, of Kansas City, Missouri, have
been charged with second-degree murder and several weapons counts.
The shooting left one person dead and roughly two dozen others
injured. Mays and Miller were shot in the melee and have been
hospitalized since.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP)
— There are still some premium free agents available in baseball as
the calendar nears March. Two-time Cy Young Winner Blake Snell,
six-time All-Star J.D. Martinez and former MVP Cody Bellinger are
among the players who haven't found a home. Cleveland manager Stephen
Vogt said the game is at its best when the best players are on the
field and he hopes they sign soon. But the sport's general managers
don't seem particularly concerned with the stalemate.

MESA, Ariz. (AP) —
The Oakland Athletics probably won't be in Oakland a whole lot
longer. The franchise is set to move to Las Vegas in a stadium that
the team hopes is ready for the 2028 season. But the next few years
could be rocky. The franchise's uncertain future was enough of a
topic that manager Mark Kotsay addressed the issue in a team meeting
on Monday. He wants to make sure players know his office is open if
there are questions, even though he doesn’t have many answers. It’s
unclear whether the franchise will play its 2025 home games in
Oakland, Sacramento, San Francisco or a minor league stadium in Las
Vegas.

LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Talk about a tale of two tours. One golf shop had TVs showing LIV
Golf and the PGA Tour at the same time. That's what golf looks like
at the moment, and it isn't likely to change any time soon. The only
place to find the best players in the world on the same stage is at
the majors. The majors have always been the most important in golf.
It seems now more than ever they're all that matter since players are
scattered among two tours. But as time goes on, even the majors will
be lacking all the best.

UNDATED (AP) —
Rafael Devers is looking for some help — from the front office of
the Boston Red Sox. With the Red Sox ramping up at the start of
spring training, Devers made it clear that he felt the franchise
should have done more to improve the roster over the winter. Devers
batted .271 with 33 homers and 100 RBIs in 153 games last year, but
Boston finished last in the loaded AL East with a 78-84 record. The
27-year-old third baseman finalized a 10-year contract with the Red
Sox in January 2023 that is worth $313.5 million.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) —
Aaron Judge’s big toe is more than a footnote for the New York
Yankees. Judge missed 42 games after tearing a ligament in his right
big toe when he crashed into the right-field fence at Dodger Stadium
last June 3, a big reason the Yankees fell from postseason
contention. Judge says “it’s going to be I think a constant
maintenance I think the rest of my career. Anything with injuries
like that, you just got to stay on top of it so it doesn’t flare up
again.”

UNDATED (AP) —
Streaming service FuboTV has filed an antitrust lawsuit against ESPN,
Fox, Warner Bros. Discovery and Hulu, which are planning to launch a
sports-streaming venture in the fall. The lawsuit has been filed in
the Southern District of New York. FuboTV is seeking a jury trial.
FuboTV not only wants the proposed joint venture shut down, but it is
seeking cash damages. If the court does not rule to do either, FuboTV
is seeking restrictions on the joint venture so that competition
remains in the marketplace. The streaming services declined to
comment. The Wall Street Journal was the first to report on the
lawsuit.

like that, you just got to stay on top of it so it doesn’t flare up
again.”UNDATED (AP) —
Streaming service FuboTV has filed an antitrust lawsuit against ESPN,
Fox, Warner Bros. Discovery and Hulu, which are planning to launch a
sports-streaming venture in the fall. The lawsuit has been filed in
the Southern District of New York. FuboTV is seeking a jury trial.
FuboTV not only wants the proposed joint venture shut down, but it is
seeking cash damages. If the court does not rule to do either, FuboTV
is seeking restrictions on the joint venture so that competition
remains in the marketplace. The streaming services declined to
comment. The Wall Street Journal was the first to report on the
lawsuit.TUESDAY SCORESTOP-25 COLLEGE

For the second consecutive day, the Barton Community College baseball team completed a doubleheader sweep over Western Nebraska Community College Monday afternoon at Jimmy Lawson-Danny Biggs Field.

Held to just one hit in the opener, the Cougars benefitted behind five walks and two hit batsmen to earn a 4-1 series clinching victory. Going for the sweep in the nightcap, Barton rallied from an early 1-0 deficit, scoring three unanswered while gaining the separation needed producing a three-run sixth and two-run seventh for an 8-5 game two win in sweeping the series for the eighth straight time over WNCC.

Notching their 28th straight win in the series, the Cougars move their early season record to 6-1 while Western Nebraska heads home for their home opener falling to 1-7 overall.

Cougars complete series sweep over Western Nebraska

By TODD MOORE Barton Sports Info

The 3rd ranked Barton Community College women's track and field team won ten of their twelve events entered this past weekend at the Pittsburg State University's Robert W. Plaster Center to finish runner-up at the KJCCC/Region VI Indoor Championships.

Having a talented stable of everyone placing in the top eight to earn points, the Cougars simply didn't have enough horses in scoring 141 points as Cloud County compiled 180.5 in winning the title with Fort Scott and Colby a distance third at 70 points.

Amongst the performances, Barton swept both the Track and Field Athletes of the meet, recorded 13 personal or season bests, added five new national qualifying tickets, continued its rewriting of the program record book with five etchings, and reset the meet's mile run record.

Barton's post-meet individual awards as chosen by coaches were Sanae Hassnaoui in track after capturing two events including the mile meet record and Jazmine Williamson in field having won the high jump, runner-up in the long jump, and a 4th place in the triple jump.

Setting the program mile run record last week in Arkansas, Hassnaoui came up shy of her best on Sunday with a 4:48.97 but was still good enough to break the 2006 record by nearly eight seconds. The freshman would later compete in the 3000m for the first time collegiately, not only winning by nearly seven seconds but crossed the line in a program 10th fastest time of 10:21.79.

Williamson concluded her three-event weekend with the high jump title with a 1.72m (5-07.75) after placing runner-up to fellow Cougar Chloe Perryman in the long jump by recording her personal best for the second straight week with a 5.89m (19-4.00) mark in the sand. Perryman took the event soaring to a personal best 6.18m (20-3.25) etch her name in the 8th slot in program history.

The duo began Sunday's final day in the triple jump, Williamson again marking a personal best and nationally qualifying mark of 11.34m (37-02.50) to place 4th while Perryman competed in the event for the first time in placing 6th at 10.74 (35-2.75)

Kay-Lagay Clarke's season best of 12.07m (39-7.25) took the triple jump title to join her 60m hurdle crown in a personal best 8.70 for a nice Sunday haul following her 5th placing on Saturday in the long jump on a season best and national qualifying ticket of 5.62m (18-5.25).

Keliza Smith's progression through the season in the sprints was also impressive in clocking personal bests, winning not only the 60m with a 7.44 time but the 200m in 23.99 to improve her program 9th fastest time.

Joining Smith, Clarke, and Hassnaoui as two event champions, Treneese Hamilton swept both the throwing events. On Saturday Hamilton reset her best weight throw to 17.45m (57-03.00 to move a spot up the program all-time list to 6th before moving up the chart again in Sunday's shot put with a 16.06m (52-8.25) heave to jump from 6th to 4th place on the list.

Additional new national qualifying performances were: Shone Walters's first time in the 1000m clocking a 3:02.69 to finish third and Ivanilda Semedo's 15.08m (49-6.00) in the weight throw to place 6th.

3rd ranked Barton women's track and field places runner-up at Region VI

Chasing the title late into the conclusion, the 5th ranked Barton Community College men's track and field team came up short in placing runner-up at the KJCCC/Region VI Indoor Championships.

The Cougars were outpointed in the final three events to compile 119 points over two days at Pittsburg State University's Robert W. Plaster Center, eight shy of Cloud County's winning 127 total and five points ahead of 3rd placer Fort Scott.

Trevon Hamer's Field Athlete of the Meet performance led the Cougars' twenty-one point producing placings as the squad posted either personal or season bests, added three new national qualifying slots, and record a program 7th best relay time in its first attempt.

Hamer's long jump personal best of 7.36m (24-1.75) held Saturday's top spot for two rounds but an opponent's final attempt snatched the title away. Returning for Sunday's triple jump, the national leader left no doubt who the best was by posting the chasing mark in the first round of attempts to eventually add to the final margin by two feet on his final jump for a winning 15.43m (50-7.50) distance.

Like Hamer, fellow freshman Hamza Belkhalfi nearly had a pair of titles, winning Sunday's mile run in 4:16.25 but three hours later had victory snatched in the final ten meters as an early celebration proved costly. Being chased down by a pair of Cloud County runners, Belkhalfi appeared to have the race run but the split flanking by the T-birds provided just enough distraction as the nation's second ranked runner's 2:29.53 crossing was .12 too late in settling for 2nd place.

Christopher Crawford provided Barton its first of three titles, winning Saturday's weight throw with a 17.64m (57-10.00) mark. Christopher Young placed 4th at 16.87m (55-4.00) with Boris Peranovic placing 14th at 13.72m (45-0.00).

Young, who set the program shot put record three weeks ago in New Mexico, didn't have his best on Sunday in setting for the runner-up placing at 17.92m (58-9.50) with Crawford's season best of 17.54m (57-6.50) placing third as Ricardo Hayles finished 5th at 16.37m (53-8.50) concluding the Cougars' 33 points in the two throwing events.

Competing in the 4000m distance medley relay (DMR) for the first time, the Cougars' tandem of Corlando Chambers, Jaden Howell, Adrian Nethersole, and Belkhalfi placed runner-up with a program 7th best ever 10:07.69 national qualifying time.

Additional new national qualifying performances were: Wanyae Belle's 60m personal best 6.81 seconds in prelims, finishing 7th in the finals at 6.87 behind Mekhi Stafford's 5th place 6.80 time after a slim personal faster time of 6.79 in prelims; Jasiah Clapp's 800m best of 1:56.66 to place 10th overall and behind Nethersole 3rd placing 1:54.17 time.

Christopher Young placed 4th at 16.87m (55-4.00) with Boris Peranovic placing 14th at 13.72m (45-0.00).Young, who set the program shot put record three weeks ago in New Mexico, didn't have his best on Sunday in setting for the runner-up placing at 17.92m (58-9.50) with Crawford's season best of 17.54m (57-6.50) placing third as Ricardo Hayles finished 5th at 16.37m (53-8.50) concluding the Cougars' 33 points in the two throwing events.Competing in the 4000m distance medley relay (DMR) for the first time, the Cougars' tandem of Corlando Chambers, Jaden Howell, Adrian Nethersole, and Belkhalfi placed runner-up with a program 7th best ever 10:07.69 national qualifying time.Additional new national qualifying performances were: Wanyae Belle's 60m personal best 6.81 seconds in prelims, finishing 7th in the finals at 6.87 behind Mekhi Stafford's 5th place 6.80 time after a slim personal faster time of 6.79 in prelims; Jasiah Clapp's 800m best of 1:56.66 to place 10th overall and behind Nethersole 3rd placing 1:54.17 time.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Max Abmas became the 12th player in men's Division I history to reach 3,000 career points and Texas held off Kansas State 62-56 on Monday night.

Abmas, a graduate transfer who played his first four seasons for Oral Roberts University, entered play needing six points to reach the milestone. He finished with eight and has scored 450 points for the Longhorns (17-9, 6-7 Big 12 Conference) this season.

Dylan Disu finished with a game-high 20 points for Texas. He made 5 of 11 shots from the floor and 10 of his 11 free throws, adding eight rebounds and three steals. Tyrese Hunter had nine points and seven boards. Dillon Mitchell totaled eight points and 10 rebounds with a pair of blocked shots.

Arthur Kaluma paced the Wildcats (15-11, 5-8) with 15 points and seven rebounds. Tylor Perry added 13 points and four assists, but he also had six of K-State's 13 turnovers. David N'Guessan pitched in with 12 points and seven rebounds.

Disu had eight points, Mitchell scored six and the pair combined for half of Texas' 22 rebounds as the Longhorns took a 27-22 advantage into halftime. N'Guessan had seven points to keep Kansas State close.

Both teams struggled to 32.3% shooting in the first half. That included Texas missing 10 of 12 attempts from 3-point range and the Wildcats misfiring on 9 of 10. The Longhorns were 5 for 7 at the free-throw line, while K-State made 1 of 4.

Abmas reached the milestone on a jumper with 14:04 remaining in the second half, giving Texas a 35-31 lead. Ithiel Horton followed with a 3-pointer and Hunter's layup capped a 7-0 run as the Longhorns moved in front 40-31.

Kansas State closed within 48-42 on a layup by N'Guessan with five minutes left. Texas pushed its lead to 12 — its largest of the game — but Kaluma had a four-point play and Will McNair added a layup to get the Wildcats within 54-48 with 2:12 left to play.

Cam Carter hit two free throws with 50 seconds remaining to cut K-State's deficit to 56-52, but Disu sank four foul shots in a row to seal it.

NEW YORK (AP) —
Southern California has climbed three spots to No. 7 in The
Associated Press women’s basketball poll while South Carolina
remains a unanimous No. 1. USC swept Oregon and then-No. 11 Oregon
State over the weekend. The Trojans moved into a tie for second place
in the Pac-12. The six teams in front of USC didn’t change, with
South Carolina leading the way as it has since the regular season
began. The Gamecocks received all 35 votes from a national media
panel. Ohio State was right behind South Carolina, marking the first
time in seven weeks that a No. 2 team held its place for two
consecutive polls. Stanford, Iowa, Texas and North Carolina State
followed the Buckeyes.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(AP) — William Byron launched Hendrick Motorsports’ 40th
anniversary season by snapping the team’s nine-year Daytona 500
losing streak with his Monday win in the rain-postponed “Great
American Race.” The last Hendrick driver to win the Daytona 500 was
Dale Earnhardt Jr. in 2014. The 26 year old from Charlotte, North
Carolina is the sixth different driver to win the 500 for Rick
Hendrick, the winningest team owner in NASCAR history who made his
way to victory lane on the actual 40th anniversary of his first Cup
win. Byron beat Hendrick teammate Alex Bowman as the race ended under
one lap of caution.

(AP) — Alex Bowman never saw how the big wreck started that marred
the end of the Daytona 500. He was surprised to learn he triggered
the big one. Bowman sparked the crash that involved nearly two dozen
cars and knocked six former NASCAR champions out of contention in the
Daytona 500. Bowman bump-drafted Hendrick Motorsports teammate
William Byron on the backstretch with nine laps to go when Byron lost
control, turned into Brad Keselowski and pretty much wrecked the
field. Byron and Bowman were the biggest beneficiaries of the melee.
They escaped with little damage to their cars and went on to give
Hendrick Motorsports a 1-2 finish in “The Great American Race.”INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
Defense wasn’t really played in the All-Star Game, which explains
why the Eastern Conference scored a record 211 points and the game
saw nearly 400 points combined on Sunday night. Points couldn’t
have been easier to come by. But in the regular season — although
some might dispute this — defense does get played. And points just
keep piling up anyway with the NBA on pace to see its highest-scoring
season in more than 50 years with teams averaging more than 115
points per game, up about 1% from last year and up a staggering 15.5%
from where it was a decade ago.UNDATED (AP) — The Brooklyn Nets
have fired Jacque Vaughn after ending a disappointing first half of
the season with a 50-point loss in Boston in their final game before
the All-Star break. About a year after giving Vaughn a contract
extension, the Nets changed course on Monday and said an interim
coach would be named soon. The Nets are 21-33 and in 11th place in
the Eastern Conference. They dropped five of their last six games.
Nets general manager Sean Marks says “this was an incredibly
difficult decision, but one we feel is in the best interest of the
team going forward.”UNDATED (AP) — It
was a bruising opening weekend in college baseball for Sacramento
State’s Matt Masciangelo. The Hornets’ junior left fielder was
hit by pitch on eight of his first nine plate appearances against
Loyola Marymount. The teams played a doubleheader Friday, with
Masciangelo plunked three times in the first game and four times in
the second. The teams didn’t play Saturday. He got on base his
first time up Sunday when a pitch grazed his jersey. Masciangelo says
he and his teammates got a good laugh and he was happy to get on base
so often.MONDAY SCORESTOP-25 COLLEGE
