NCAA Basketball: San Diego State, Baylor exposed and more takeaways
by Brian Rauf
Here are the biggest takeaways from the past week in NCAA basketball including weaknesses shown by San Diego State, Baylor, and much more.
This week marked the final week of the NCAA Basketball regular season for some while, for others, it marked the start of their conference tournaments. And we’ve already seen a bit of madness with the top three seeds in the Missouri Valley failing to advance to the semifinals and Sam Merrill punching Utah State’s ticket to the Big Dance with this iconic shot.
Utah State’s victory shrinks the bubble as it makes the Mountain West a two-bid league, since San Diego State is obviously going to get an at-large bid – but that doesn’t mean all is well with the Aztecs.
Thank you to everyone who made our Summer 2019
a great success!!!

Why the Trump administration is moving to ‘disestablish’ a Massachusetts tribe’s reservation "This is one of the most cruel and nonsensical acts I have seen since coming to Congress."

The Mashpee Wampanoag tribe is pledging to fight a move by President Donald Trump’s administration to “disestablish” its reservation.
Cedric Cromwell, the chairman of the Cape Cod-based tribe, says he was informed Friday at 4 p.m. by the Bureau of Indian Affairs that Department of the Interior Secretary David Bernhardt had ordered their 321-acre reservation be taken out of federal trust, following two court decisions declaring that the federal government didn’t have the authority to give the lands special status.

U.S. waives laws, requests input for 91 miles of new border wall construction in Arizona Rafael Carranza, Arizona RepublicPublished 7:59 p.m. MT March 17, 2020 | Updated 9:04 p.m. MT March 17, 2020
TUCSON — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials plan to build or replace more than 91 miles of border barriers along the Arizona-Mexico border in one of the largest expansions of border wall construction in the state.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which oversees CBP, waived a series of federal laws to speed up construction in all four Arizona border counties and opened a month-long period for the public to submit comments on the planned construction projects.
CBP issued an advisory Monday detailing the 91.5 miles where construction will take place.
In the Border Patrol's Tucson Sector: 32 miles in Cochise County, 15 miles in Pima County and 27 miles in Santa Cruz County. In the Yuma Sector: 17.5 miles in Yuma County and Imperial County, California.
The new bollard fencing going up will measure 30 feet in height and will be built as part of a system. "The projects also include the installation of a linear ground detection system, road construction or refurbishment, and the installation of lighting, which will be supported by grid power and include embedded cameras," the agency said.

UCLA Basketball:
Former UCLA greats are in awe of current Bruins’ late-season run

As the camera panned the crowd inside Pauley Pavilion, showing one UCLA legend after another on the video board, it felt like an ode to generations of Bruin greatness.
Hey, there’s Sidney Wicks, the power forward who sparked UCLA’s 88-game winning streak. Wow, that’s Lucius Allen, the guard who helped the Bruins freshmen stomp the varsity team. Oh, man, there’s Jamaal Wilkes, the small forward whom coach John Wooden once described as his ideal player.
The icons fixed their focus elsewhere, consumed by a batch of Bruins who had a losing record only 1½ months ago. Things have changed considerably over the last six weeks with this team capturing the imagination of its revered predecessors every bit as much as that of the casual fan.
“I don’t think, of all the UCLA teams that have ever put on that uniform, that the fans, the alumni, those who follow UCLA could be more proud of than this team here,” said Gail Goodrich. He was the honorary captain Saturday during the Bruins’ 69-64 victory over Arizona that gave them a seventh consecutive win and sole possession of first place in the Pac-12 Conference. Read more >
