With a 63-57 win over USC Upstate in the Atlantic-Sun championship, the Ospreys (23-11, 12-2 A-Sun) earned their first trip to the NCAA Tournament in program history. The conference title continues a dream season for the Ospreys in their 10th season of Division I basketball. The program hasn’t enjoyed a winning season since going 15-14 in 2002-03 as a member of the Division II Peach Belt Conference. Junior forward Demarcus Daniels led the Ospreys with 22 points and six rebounds, while Jalen Nesbitt and Dallas Moore added 16 and 13 points, respectively....

Alli opened the scoring as Spurs won 2-0 in the last north London derby at White Hart Lane before the venerable old ground is demolished to make way for a gleaming new stadium. Spurs show superiority over Arsenal That result means Mauricio Pochettino’s high-flying side are guaranteed to finish ahead of Arsenal, a feat they have never managed during Arsene Wenger’s lengthy tenure at the helm of the Gunners....

With the win in Amsterdam on Monday, the Oranje march into the knockout stage of the tournament as group leaders with a perfect record while their opponents bow out of the tournament. The fate of both sides was already known before the game, with Netherlands having confirmed top spot and North Macedonia guaranteed a bottom-placed finish. With only pride to play for, Igor Angelovski’s men caught their much-fancied opponents off guard with a fast-paced start....

Norton vs. McAfee: Price These days, antivirus programs can be pricey, and the varying plans can leave you paying for more than you need. Let’s cover the basic prices of McAfee and Norton to see how much you really need to be paying. Both Norton and McAfee have various subscription plans with different features, perks, and limitations. Let’s first get to the ascending McAfee plan prices for a one-year subscription:...

But despite being recognized as the best female footballer in the world, the outspoken 23-year-old Hegerberg said she won’t play for Norway at the Women’s World Cup in France next June. Taking a stand against what she describes as a lack of respect for female players in Norway, Hegerberg hasn’t played for the national team since it crashed out of the group stage of the Women’s European Championship in 2017 without scoring a goal....

An injury-ravaged Liverpool looked destined to finish outside the Champions League berths for the majority of the 2020-21 season. But a resurgent spell in the closing stages of the season saw them finish third in the Premier League table behind Manchester City and Manchester United. A revitalized Liverpool unit is viewed as title challengers and the Canaries will have their work cut out on the first day of the season....

That’s why Sprint Cup racing’s most popular driver is pushing his sport to remember its roots with T-shirts, caps and other items harkening back to the days of King Richard Petty, Bobby Allison and stockcar racing legends. Including, of course, his father, “The Intimidator” Dale Earnhardt. At 40, Junior spent most of his life at race tracks, following his father and grandfather, short-track legend Ralph Earnhardt, to their competitions....

Are these fears justified? There is no question that Indonesia faces enormous challenges, and that its performance since the fall of Suharto in 1998 has not inspired much confidence. But some of the nightmare scenarios are grossly exaggerated. So far there are no grounds for believing that Indonesia is close to disintegration along the lines of the Soviet Union or the former Yugoslavia, while the prospect of Islamic radicals’ seizing power is quite remote....

But we are familiar with another old Massachusetts story, the “Curse of the Bambino,” born when the Red Sox made the devastating choice to sell Babe Ruth to the Yankees in 1920. Prior to the infamous trade, the Sox were baseball’s golden team-winning more World Series than any other ball club. But after the “Bambino” left, Red Sox luck ran out-for good. In the four World Series they have appeared in since 1918, the Sox have managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by losing in Game Seven every time....

Perhaps it’s not surprising that Washington takes every negative development happening in the world on any given day as if it was a personal vendetta. Believing the U.S. is at the center of the geopolitical universe is nothing new for U.S. officials and foreign policy analysts. That ingrained belief is not without reason: at $21.4 trillion, the U.S. possesses nearly 25 percent of the world’s GDP, boasts the strongest fighting force on the planet and has a diplomatic corps as experienced and talented in the art of statecraft as the 2000 New York Yankees were in playoff baseball....

Redfield was third on the team with 64 tackles in the regular season. MORE: Playoff impact players | 2015 top story lines Matthias Farley, who filled in for Redfield when he was suspended for the first half of the Pitt game because of a targeting penalty the previous game, is expected to move into the starting lineup against Ohio State on New Year’s Day.

Twitter reacts to Fellaini red card But there will have been thousands, maybe millions, of neutrals watching Thursday’s Manchester derby bemoaning a lack of quality on show. They may not have known it, but it was Silva they were crying out for. Jose Mourinho said less than an hour before kick-off that a point would be a good result for his side and that was clearly the game plan, with 10 United players usually between City’s forwards and the away team’s goal....

Their 17-game losing streak was over. Without a win — or a loss. Nothing to celebrate. “A sour feeling,” quarterback Tyrod Taylor said. More bitterness. Cleveland didn’t take advantage of forcing six turnovers by Pittsburgh and missed a chance at its first win since 2016 on Sunday, tying the Steelers 21-21 in overtime in a game that turned into another emotional roller-coaster for fans who were so close to seeing their team go 1-0 for the first time in 14 years....

Goff will be inactive for the game as Sean Mannion, a third-round pick from Oregon State last year, will be the backup to starter Case Keenum. Goff won’t even be the emergency quarterback Monday with punter Johnny Hekker tabbed to be the QB should Keenum and Mannion both get hurt against the 49ers. Instead, the top overall pick will be in street clothes without any hope of playing. “Jared’s had a great camp, so has Sean....

Spain coach Vicente del Bosque said Tuesday that no team is invincible as his side look to defend their European Championship title. The defending champions looked well off their usual exhilarating form as they struggled Monday to see off a dogged Croatia 1-0 – though they still did enough to win Group C and reach the quarter-finals of Euro 2012. Del Bosque said afterwards his side had not reached the heights as they thanked a late effort from reserve striker Jesus Navas for their win....

When most people think of an RPG, certain elements immediately come to mind like magic, armor, swords, goblins, and of course a fantasy setting. An RPG that breaks from this standard formula automatically feels innovative and, in the case of Nobody Saves the World, this is somewhat true. Yet despite the general impression that the game is avoiding dusty RPG tropes, it isn’t an overarching divergence. Even the title Nobody Saves the World advertises that the game is in fact based on one of the most pervasive and overused themes in RPGs....

The three new Nokia C series phones are said to act as a bridge between feature phones and smartphones for those yet to make the jump, with light smart features and a particular focus on durability and battery life. It’s a niche appeal on the surface but with feature phones still popular among the older population – a 2018 survey found that 40% of US residents over 65 still use them – it’s a market rife with opportunity....
