When Lindsay Gottlieb finally got a chance to sit down after Cal’s 80-79 victory over Houston on Tuesday night, the head coach said she needed a glass of wine. It’s a wonder Kristine Anigwe didn’t hop up and pop a bottle. She seemingly did everything else for the No. 24 Bears in their season-opening win, grabbing 13 rebounds and scoring 37 points on 13-for-20 shooting from the floor and 11-for-11 shooting from the foul line. “Kristine was a beast and showed why she’s in the conversation as one of...

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Republicans held onto an eastern Kansas congressional seat Tuesday they had been in danger of losing because of questions about their novice candidate's public statements. Steve Watkins defeated Democrat Paul Davis in the 2nd District and will replace retiring five-term GOP Rep. Lynn Jenkins. Davis was better known as a former Kansas House minority leader and he had carried the district in an unsuccessful run for governor in 2014. But the district leans Republican: Trump carried it by nearly 17 percentage points in 2016... Читать дальше...

KZ Okpala, Stanford’s slashing 6-foot-9 sophomore forward, is well on his way to becoming a complete player. On Tuesday night, he scored a career-high 29 points and also had 10 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and a steal as the Cardinal routed Seattle 96-74 in the season opener Tuesday night at Maples Pavilion. “Obviously, he has a high ceiling,” head coach Jerod Haase said. “The crazy part is that ceiling’s a lot higher than where he is right now.” Okpala hit 8-for-12 from the field and 11-for-13 from the line.

Dan Crenshaw, the veteran whose war wounds were the focus of a joke by Pete Davidson on “Saturday Night Live,” easily won his Texas Congressional race on Tuesday.

The “SNL” joke probably made no difference, as Crenshaw had already been expected to win. Read the full article on The Wrap

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Longtime Republican lawmaker Brad Little defeated Democratic challenger Paulette Jordan on Tuesday to become Idaho's next governor. Little's win came as no surprise in the deeply conservative state, despite significant national media attention given to his opponent.

Opponent Paulette Jordan, a former state lawmaker and member of the Coeur d'Alene Tribe... Читать дальше...
