Sign up | | Magic win at Utah in OT | Hurricanes prevail at Texas A&M in CFP | Bianchi's warning about CFP | | | | Five additional minutes were needed to determine a winner between the Magic and Jazz on Saturday night at Delta Center when Orlando made its lone trip to Utah. | | | | | What we're left with now is a sport that feels increasingly transactional, untethered from its own history and openly hostile to the idea of loyalty. | | | | | The Hurricanes scored their first touchdown with just 1:44 left in the fourth quarter, but it was enough to put them over the Aggies in the first round of the College Football Playoff. | | | | | Star Hurricanes freshman Malachi Toney eclipsed Xavier Restrepo's single-season Miami record for receptions in UM's College Football Playoff game against Texas A&M. | | | | | Mark Fletcher and Bryce Fitzgerald made big plays in the end as Miami beat Texas A&M 10-3. | | | | | The Rebels will face No. 2 Georgia in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1. | | | | | The victory was the Ducks' seventh straight since losing to No. 1 Indiana 30-20 on Oct. 11. James Madison had won 11 in a row. | | | | | The Knights connected on 19 3-pointers to put away FGCU and improve to 10-1 for the first time under coach Johnny Dawkins. | | | | | Wendell Carter Jr. set out to become a better shooter this season and so far, he's accomplished that goal to help the Magic from beyond the arc. "That's just who we want him to be — just aggressive, shooting the 3, getting to the rim, rebounding on the boards and defending," Paolo Banchero said about the Orlando center. | | | | | The final round Sunday also is the scramble format, when each team hits from the best ball, so it will be a sprint to the finish with several teams still in the mix, two of them women. | | | | | Each team is 7-7, and they play each other twice in the final three weeks. | | | | | Once the No. 1 recruit in the nation out of Texas with a mullet hairstyle, Quinn Ewers' journey leads him to his first NFL start Sunday for the Dolphins against the Bengals. | | | | | Tampa Bay rallied with three second-period goals to tie the score and grab momentum in an eventual 6-4 win. | | | | | In girls wrestling, Freedom won the Knockout Classic while Geneva won its own boys basketball tourney, and Montverde won in girls hoops. | | | |
