Game day notes: Julian Hammond III rolling into second round of NIT for CU Buffs

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:14:40 GMT

Until the past two weeks, Julian Hammond III had played more than 30 minutes in a game just once.That occurred on Jan. 5, when Hammond made a spot start for KJ Simpson against Oregon and responded with a then-career-high 16 points in 32 minutes.Tasked with replacing the mono-stricken Simpson since the final week of the regular season, Hammond has played at least 35 minutes in the starting lineup the past four games, including a career-high 37 minutes in Tuesday’s NIT first-round win against Seton Hall. The workload hasn’t been a burden, as Hammond has put together the best stretch of his two-year collegiate career.“I know what I can do, but it does feel different to go out there and show it,” Hammond said. “I feel more comfortable, I’d say. I’m more experienced and I know when I can get off my shots and stuff like that. Every game matters, but the deeper you go the important each game is.”As the Buffs get set to host Utah Valley on Sunday night in the second round of the NIT (7:30 p...

LOS ANGELES — Jemal Yimer waited patiently until nearly two hours into the 38th Los Angeles Marathon to make his move.

I’m happy today,” Yimer said. “Thank you so much, Los Angeles.”Kenya’s Stacy Ndiwa, 30, not only won the women’s race in a personal-best 2 hours and 31 minutes.

Perez holds off Verstappen’s charge to win Saudi Arabian GP

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:14:40 GMT

JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Sergio Perez won the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and Max Verstappen drove from 15th to second to give Red Bull a 1-2 finish Sunday in what is shaping up to be a runaway season for the reigning Formula One champions.And there have only been two races so far. But it’s been two Red Bull wins, two 1-2 finishes, and an air of desperation from everyone else on the grid.Fernando Alonso finished third for the second consecutive race for what would have been his 100th career podium. But he was later handed a 10-second penalty for incorrectly serving an early penalty and that dropped him to fourth. But even as the Spaniard enjoys a renaissance with his new Aston Martin team, Alonso has acknowledged he had little chance at beating Red Bull.Verstappen won a record 15 races last season and a second consecutive F1 title, and Perez added another two victories as the 17 total wins in 23 races easily gave Red Bull the constructors title. There have been no signs of an offsea...

PARIS (AP) — Arnaud Kalimuendo scored against his boyhood club as leader Paris Saint-Germain was beaten 2-0 by Rennes in its first home loss in the French league this season on Sunday.The win ended PSG’s 35-match unbeaten run in the league at the Parc des Princes.The 21-year-old Kalimuendo joined PSG’s youth system when he was 9 years old and signed with Rennes last summer looking for more playing time away from the armada of PSG stars. Kalimuendo was under contract with PSG until 2024 but spent the last two seasons on loan at Lens.Rennes, which had already prevailed in the corresponding fixture in Brittany two months ago, made the most of PSG’s passivity and relied on goalkeeper Steve Mandanda’s decisive saves to produce a clean sheet. Karl Toko Ekambi scored Rennes’ first goal. PSG looked slow and lethargic, relying in vain on the skills of Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi. Mbappe had two good chances to break the deadlock in the first half but the France sta...
