Northwestern State’s Jalan West — one of the most prolific stat-stuffers in Division I basketball — will undergo an MRI on Tuesday after injuring his left knee during Saturday’s loss at Ole Miss. West suffered the injury as he drove to the hoop with 30 seconds remaining in regulation and was fouled, putting a damper on his blazing-hot second-half performance.

The recent study finds that companies and governments are driving too much technology research in the Global North, sometimes referred to as the developed world. Experts say that the technology gap contributes to the growing inequality between different parts of the globe. “Developed countries will generate the bulk of revenues (so goes the thinking), and therefore, building technology that is accessible and helpful for those in underdeveloped nations is not a priority,” Art Shaikh, the CEO of the software company CircleIt, told Lifewire in an email interview....
