UCF eyes chance to wrap up season with win in Gasparilla Bowl

Lokahi Pauole has spent the last five years bleeding black and gold for UCF football. And like many of his teammates who are wrapping up their college careers Friday when the Knights (6-6, 3-6 Big 12) face Georgia Tech (6-6, 5-3 ACC) in the Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl, this week has been a reflective time for the offensive lineman (ESPN, 6:30 p.m.). “They always say there are a lot of first lasts,” Pauole said after the Knights wrapped up their final home practice before traveling to Tampa. “I’ve just been soaking it all in.

ORLANDO — Observations and other notes of interest from Wednesday night’s 115-106 victory over the Orlando Magic: – Building leads the Heat have been quite good at this season. – Retaining leads? Not so much. – That’s what made this one interesting as the lead moved into the 20s. – With Monday’s loss to the Timberwolves from 17 up still fresh in the mind. – For as many as the Heat have cycled through to start games this season, the overall record largely has been about the finishes. – In a season where there already have been a pair of blown 21-point leads, there rarely has been a sense of closure. –...

Heat push past absence of Butler, shove aside Magic 115-106 behind Herro’s 28

ORLANDO – The Miami Heat showed the ability to play quality ball against a quality opponent Monday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Wednesday night against the Orlando Magic, they did it again. The difference from that disheartening home loss two days earlier was that this time the Heat sustained long enough. After again thrusting to a sizable early lead, the Heat this time kept the pedal on the gas long enough to push to a 115-106 victory at Kia Center, with only a window-dressing rally by the Magic at the finish. With Jimmy Butler and Kevin Love sidelined, Tyler Herro seized control...

One day, commuter trains may roll through downtown Fort Lauderdale over a concrete bridge that stands at least 40 feet high.

County commissioners have made it clear they plan to build a bridge because a tunnel would cost a fortune. On Tuesday night,...
