Both teams have great frontcourt size and get points from those spots. Both are exceptional defensively. And this quote from Billy Donovan is true of both teams. But the Gators' coach was talking only about his squad. "This team understands that the whole is greater than its parts," Donovan said after his Gators allowed Marshall Henderson to score 22 first-half points, then held him scoreless in the second half....

The hope is to prevent the spread of Dengue fever, a painful virus acquired only by mosquito bite which made a reappearance in the Florida Keys in 2009....

Then Mayweather, who’s not one to shy away from the spotlight, made waves last week when he said in a social media video the UFC had offered him a contract. UFC president Dana White went as far as to say his company was in talks with Mayweather. The sports world thought that meant Mayweather would compete inside the Octagon, although Sporting News confirmed with multiple sources that White’s offer was for Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) to return to the ring under the Zuffa Boxing banner....

This week, we targeted top matchups and actually went with an underrated QB-TE stack that could perform well for us. We also spent heavily at RB and choose three high-volume backs – one who’s matchup-proof and two with favorable matchups. That’s a bit of a risk, as we spent down at receiver, but it should give our lineup enough differentiation to potentially win big in these tournaments.

Judge, 30, had just broken the years-old record for most home runs in a single season, and he has been receiving plaudits from around the U.S., including a personal note of congratulations from President Joe Biden on Twitter.

Bonds, 58, had a controversial career with Pittsburgh Pirates (1986 to 1992) and San Francisco Giants (1993 to 2007), in which he was seen as a central figure in a doping scandal that dogged Major League Baseball (MLB)....
