| | | | How shorthanded Magic overcame Nuggets behind Banchero's 1st triple-double | UCF men's basketball set to begin Big 12 play at Kansas State | Gators open SEC play with Golden opportunity vs. No. 6 Kentucky | | | | Forward Paolo Banchero recorded his first career triple-double (32 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds) to help lift the visiting Magic over the defending champion Nuggets on Friday night. Orlando was limited to just eight available players in the second half. | | | | | Not everyone shares the same optimism about UCF's potential in the Big 12, as the Knights (9-3) were picked to finish last in the preseason media poll in November. | | | | | The No. 6 Wildcats are a mix of veterans and youngsters averaging 91.1 points and poised to be coach John Calipari's best squad in several seasons, yet also 3.5-point underdogs entering Saturday. | | | | | Billy Napier looks to the future beginning with 5-star quarterback signee DJ Lagway, one of three incoming Gators who played during the recent Under Armour All-American game. | | | | | It's a homecoming, of sorts, for Pierre, who attended Mount Dora Christian Academy before signing with Florida as part of the Gators' 2019 recruiting class under then-coach Dan Mullen. He spent two seasons in Gainesville before transferring to Texas Tech in 2021. | | | | | Taulia Tagovailoa became the Big Ten's career leader in passing yards this season. He has set nearly every Maryland career passing record, including yards (11,256), touchdowns (76), completion percentage (.671) and 300-yard games (15). | | | | | Among boys basketball winners were Windermere Prep, Montverde Academy, Lake Highland Prep, Olympia and Foundation Academy, while Bishop Moore added a boys soccer win. | | | | | A Dominican judge on Friday ordered the Rays shortstop to pay the equivalent of $34,000 as a financial guarantee and to make monthly visits to the court for six months. | | | | | The Browns (11-5) and the Lions (11-5) have clinched postseason berths. The Texans (9-7) and the Jaguars (9-7) can join them with victories this weekend. | | | | | A pair of Miami veterans on either side of the ball have much in common these days as ironmen for the Dolphins who work to come back from recent injuries to face a division rival that has had the team's number in their tenures. | | | |
