Iowa women’s basketball defeated Michigan 59-42 in the Big Ten Tournament semifinals on Friday, advancing to the championship game for the fifth time in the last six years. The Hawkeyes sealed the win with a 10-0 run midway through the fourth quarter that Michigan was unable to answer, capping a game in which the Wolverines were inconsistent for long stretches and never found a consistent offensive rhythm. Michigan scored just four points in the first quarter and six in the fourth, leaving the team with too much ground to make up despite a competitive third quarter in which the two…

Ye appeared in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom on Friday for testimony in a $1 million lawsuit filed by his former project manager, Tony Saxon, and spent much of his time on the stand yawning, closing his eyes for extended periods and at times appearing to nod off entirely. Saxon’s attorney Ron Zambrano reportedly turned to a colleague mid-questioning and mouthed a question about whether the rapper had fallen asleep, a moment that was noticed by the judge, who then asked the attorney to move through the questions at a faster pace. When Ye did respond to questions, his answers…

The Philadelphia 76ers travel to State Farm Arena on Saturday to face the Atlanta Hawks at 6 p.m. ET in what is shaping up to be a difficult night for a depleted visiting roster. Atlanta enters the game on a five-game win streak and has won six of its last seven, while Philadelphia will be without Joel Embiid, VJ Edgecombe and Paul George for the foreseeable future. Embiid remains out with an oblique strain and was re-evaluated Friday with the team announcing he will not return for at least another week as he works through individualized strength and conditioning. Edgecombe,…

Jeremih will not be performing on the Boys 4 Life tour this spring after announcing on Instagram that a health condition is preventing him from traveling and performing. His manager confirmed the news in a statement Friday, saying his condition is being actively monitored by his doctor and that everyone around him is focused on his care and recovery. No details about the nature of his condition have been shared publicly, and no timeline for a potential return to the stage has been announced. The Boys 4 Life tour was built around nostalgia for the early 2000s R&B era and…

Most Americans will lose an hour of sleep Sunday when daylight saving time begins at 2 a.m. local time on March 8, pushing clocks ahead to 3 a.m. and shifting an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening. The change creates a 23-hour day and will remain in effect for 238 days before clocks fall back on the first Sunday of November, which this year falls on Nov. 1. The second Sunday of March has been the start date since 2007, when Congress moved the change up from the first Sunday of April under the Energy Policy Act…

Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira meet for the second time Tonight at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with Holloway’s BMF title on the line and 11 years of individual evolution separating their first bout from this one. Their 2015 matchup ended in under two minutes when Holloway won via an apparent esophagus injury suffered by Oliveira, a conclusion so abrupt that it barely registered as a real fight. What follows Saturday night should be nothing of the sort. UFC 326 streams live on Paramount Plus, which replaced the traditional pay-per-view model for UFC numbered events. Early prelims begin at 5…

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and his fiancée, Sarah Jane Ramos, have ended their engagement, according to multiple reports. The split came approximately one month before the couple was scheduled to marry in Italy on April 10. Ramos called off the relationship after a significant argument during their joint bachelor and bachelorette parties in the Bahamas, an event that sources described as the breaking point in a relationship that had been under strain for several months. The couple’s social media presence told a different story just days before the news broke. Ramos had posted photos from her bachelorette party and…

The Indianapolis Colts traded linebacker Zaire Franklin to the Green Bay Packers on Saturday in exchange for defensive tackle Colby Wooden, a swap that addresses pressing needs on both rosters just days before the start of free agency. The trade was confirmed by multiple sources and saves the Colts roughly $4.6 million against the salary cap while giving the Packers a proven starter at linebacker ahead of Quay Walker’s likely departure. Franklin, who turns 30 in July, was due to count $7.005 million against the cap in 2026 and $9.005 million in 2027. Wooden’s base salary of $1.145 million represents…

Blueface posted on X on Friday night denying that he is the biological father of two-year-old Chrisean Jr., the son of his on-again, off-again partner Chrisean Rock. The rapper said the child’s real father is a man he referred to only as Ronnie, a reference widely believed to point to Karon Ronny Doe’ Cann, a former boyfriend of Rock’s who died in early 2025. Blueface said he had been stepping in to fill a parental role because the biological father was no longer alive, but that continuing to present himself as the father no longer felt right. He framed the…

The Philadelphia Eagles agreed to a three-year, $78 million contract extension with defensive tackle Jordan Davis on Saturday, making him the highest-paid nose tackle in NFL history. The deal includes $65 million in guaranteed money and carries an average annual value of $26 million, placing Davis tied for second among all interior defensive linemen alongside former teammate Milton Williams, behind only Kansas City’s Chris Jones. Davis was entering his fifth-year option season, which was worth roughly $12.9 million. He will play 2026 on that option before the extension kicks in, securing his place in Philadelphia through the 2029 season. The…
