GAINESVILLE — UF quarterback DJ Lagway is making strides to play when the Gators host LSU Saturday in what would be a rapid return from a left hamstring injury. Coach Billy Napier said Lagway practiced Wednesday, though his workload is modified to prevent a setback. The true freshman remains listed an questionable on the SEC’s availability report, a similar status a week ago as the Gators prepared to visit Texas. “He’s getting closer and closer to getting ready to play,” Napier said. Florida quarterback DJ Lagway scrambles for yards Nov. 2 against Georgia prior to injuring his left...

Heat fall in OT to Pistons after Spoelstra gets technical foul for calling timeout he did not have

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 13, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

DETROIT — Erik Spoelstra called timeout. His team did not have one. That is how the Miami Heat lost Tuesday night to the Detroit Pistons. So despite Tyler Herro’s 40 points, despite a fourth-quarter rally, despite a go-ahead basket with 1.8 seconds to play, this 123-121 overtime loss will be remembered for none of that. It will be the game the Heat lost when they first allowed a tying, wide-open dunk with 1.1 seconds to play . . . and when Spoelstra then walked on the court to settle his team. At a time the Heat coach couldn’t. No timeouts remaining. So a Malik Beasley free throw. And that...

Keyshawn Hall, Darius Johnson spark UCF past FAU

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 13, 2024. Posted in College Sports, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports, UCF Knights.

Whenever it seemed like UCF needed a bucket Tuesday night, there was Keyshawn Hall. The 6-foot-7 junior forward seemed everywhere on the court for the Knights, whether it was putting up a well-timed 3-pointer or battling under the basket for a rebound. Helton was the catalyst who fueled UCF to a 100-94 win over visiting FAU. Hall scored 20 of his game-high 26 points in the second half as the Knights improved to 3-0 for the first time since the 2021-22 season. “My mindset going into the game is just … I’m from Cleveland, so I’m just going to go at people and if I’m not scoring, I’m drawing...

Hurricanes fall in latest College Football Playoff rankings

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 13, 2024. Posted in College Sports, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Hurricanes, Sports.

Unsurprisingly, the Miami Hurricanes took a tumble in this week’s College Football Playoff rankings following their first loss of the season. Fortunately for Miami, a path to the playoff is still wide open despite falling to No. 9 on Tuesday night after ranking fourth in the initial rankings. UM also fell to No. 12 in other polls on Sunday. The Hurricanes were seeded fourth as one of the likely Power 4 conference champions. That would give UM a first-round bye. As long as the Hurricanes win the ACC title, they have a clear path to a first-round bye in the playoffs. If they lose another...

President-elect Donald Trump is expected to name Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida as his secretary of state, three people familiar with his thinking said Monday, as Trump moves rapidly to fill out his foreign policy and national security team.

Rubio was elected to the Senate in 2010 and has staked out a position as a foreign policy hawk, taking hard lines on China and Iran in particular. He initially found himself at odds...

Winderman’s view: Lineup changes and a better (and needed) result for Heat in Minnesota

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 11, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, Miami Heat Blog, NBA, Sports.

Observations and other notes of interest from Sunday night’s 95-94 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves: – Part of the equation was Jimmy Butler being out and having to be replaced in the starting lineup. – But part of it felt like Erik Spoelstra saying enough was enough. – So Haywood Highsmith started in place of Butler. – And Kevin Love in place of Nikola Jovic. – With Jovic very much available. (More on him later.) – Obviously not all of this will stick, with Butler to get back in that initial mix. – But either Love or Highsmith might. – Because Jovic off the bench might just prove...
