MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Baylor’s euphoria over its ascent to the No. 1 ranking lasted just one day. Nathan Adrian broke out of a shooting slump with a career-high 22 points, and No. 10 West Virginia beat the sloppy Bears 89-68 on Tuesday night in the program’s first game with the top ranking. Baylor defeated Iowa State and Oklahoma State last week by a combined six points at home to overtake Villanova for the No.

  • Renck: Bo Nix’s improvement should mandate passing like Patrick Mahomes, not flopping like him
    Denver Post, Thursday - 01/23/2025 - 07:00 PM

    A peek at the Bo Nix offseason checklist: Talk with Drew Brees, chat with Peyton Manning and study acting. The road to the AFC West title goes through Arrowhead and The Academy. This point was driven home during the divisional round as Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes manipulated the rules to his advantage, enabled by years of suspect enforcement. It was so egregious that ESPN analyst Troy Aikman blurted, “Aww, come on!” after Mahomes lured defenders into a roughing call after he danced around for several seconds and slid late.

    Denver Post, Thursday - 01/23/2025 - 06:55 PM

Yet those who have ventured into the CU Events Center have noticed a curiously incomplete design in the northwest corner of the arena. Gone is the mural commemorating the champions of the 2012 Pac-12 Conference tournament.

  • Mikaela Shiffrin healed from puncture wound suffered in ski crash, will race next week in France
    Denver Post, Thursday - 01/23/2025 - 08:58 AM

    By PAT GRAHAM Six weeks ago, Mikaela Shiffrin didn’t have the core strength to even rise out of a chair. A sneeze or a laugh brought on instant pain. That was all due to a serious crash in a giant slalom race on Nov. 30 in Killington, Vermont, where something punctured her in the side — still a mystery — and caused severe trauma to her oblique muscles. It’s been a demanding and difficult road back for the fast-healing Shiffrin, who plans to make her World Cup return at a slalom race in Courchevel, France, next Thursday.
