Texas controlled the flow and pace of the game early, and despite Michigan’s push in the second quarter, the Longhorns cruised the rest of the way. The Wolverines had few answers as to how to overcome Texas’ stifling press defense. Poor night photography didn’t help either. Michigan seemed flustered by Texas moving the game on so quickly, but couldn’t really find a sustainable rhythm.

Texas forward Madison Booker was strong from mid-range, leading all scorers with 19 points and seven rebounds. The Longhorns had three other players score in double figures, including Kyla Oldaker who had 12 points off the bench. Oldacre played a key role in extending Texas’ lead by coming off the bench and forcing Michigan to overcommit defensively, resulting in multiple misses at the free throw line.

You may have heard the buzz about NASA’s Artemis 2 mission. The mission made headlines as the space agency’s first manned mission to the moon in more than 50 years. This adventure is a historic undertaking, sending the first black man, first woman, and first Canadian on a journey farther from Earth than any human before.

But it won’t be the first mission to return humans to the moon since the era of Apollo moon landings ended in 1972.

Instead of landing on the surface, the four Artemis 2 astronauts will orbit the moon and return to Earth in NASA’s Orion capsule. The long-awaited moon landing? It should be about two years from now.

As NASA works toward the April 1 launch of its Artemis II mission, here’s what you need to know about how the project is setting the stage for future moon landings.

The only undisputed fact about this case is that Duckett was at work when he encountered Teresa at a convenience store on May 11, 1987. The little girl was walking there to buy a pencil.

Duckett tells Teresa that he needs to go home and claims that was the last time he saw her. Prosecutors allege that Duckett was a monster in disguise who misused his badge to brutally rape and murder Teresa and abandon her body in a lake.

Jurors accepted the state’s version of events, finding Duckett guilty of murder and recommending the death penalty, based largely on circumstantial evidence.

Until now.

Four teams remain from this season’s 68-team March Madness field: the UConn Huskies, UCLA Bruins, Texas Longhorns and South Carolina Gamecocks. A year ago, these teams, coached by Geno Auriemma, Cori Crouse, Vic Schaefer and Dawn Staley, clashed in Tampa, Fla., as UConn won its 12th national title behind Paige Bueckers and Azzie Fudd.

Now, all four teams will be in Phoenix, Arizona this Friday. UW will play South Carolina, and UCLA will play Texas.

The undefeated Huskies advanced to this point by defeating Hannah Hidalgo and Notre Dame in the Fort Worth 1 District final, and UCLA erased a double-digit lead to defeat Duke in the Sacramento 2 Elite Eight. Texas completely defeated Michigan with a lopsided victory, and South Carolina defeated TCU to earn a ticket to the national semifinals for the sixth straight year.

The comedian and actress, 43, criticized FBI Director Kash Patel on air Monday, March 30, and poked fun at reports that her personal email had been hacked.

“So if Kash didn’t want his emails published, he should have CC’d Jeffrey Epstein,” Cummings quipped during the show, referring to the cache of redacted and yet-to-be-released emails to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s legacy. The joke drew laughs from the audience, with co-host Sunny Hostin agreeing, “So right,” and Whoopi Goldberg adding, “Well said.”

Cummings is one of several guest hosts scheduled to fill in for series regular Alyssa Farrah Griffin, who gave birth to a baby earlier this year. ABC has not yet announced when Griffin, the show’s current conservative commentator and former Trump White House staffer, will return from maternity leave.

“We know the last few days have been difficult,” Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport wrote in a post on X on Monday, March 30. “The usual fast and efficient checkpoint operations we are known for are back to normal starting today.”

As of 4 p.m. ET, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, New York’s LaGuardia Airport, and Philadelphia International Airport all reported standard security wait times starting at less than five minutes, while wait times were longer at other airports.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday, March 27, redirecting federal funds already earmarked to the Department of Homeland Security to pay TSA workers as airport security wait times swell after weeks of partial government shutdowns. But this is only a temporary solution, and long-term funding still requires approval from lawmakers during their scheduled recess.

At this point, that seems unlikely. Reviving the draft “is not part of our current plans at this time,” White House press secretary Caroline Levitt said on Fox News on March 8, adding that President Donald Trump “keeps options on the table.”

Actor and comedian Rob Schneider, who has never served in the military, recently sparked curiosity about military conscription in a post on X on March 27th, calling for the reinstatement of compulsory military service and civil servant duties.

Although military conscription is not in effect, men between the ages of 18 and 25 are still legally required to register for the federal Selective Service System, according to Military.com. Conscription could be resumed if justified by a national emergency or major war.

A video showed the country’s rap rocker saluting and applauding a military helicopter flying by next to the outdoor pool of his South White House, which is modeled after the presidential mansion in Washington.

Kid Rock, an outspoken conservative, captioned the video: “This is a (expletive) level of respect for brains that the Governor of California will never know.” “God bless America and all those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect her.”

The post was an apparent attack on Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom, who “banned” Kid Rock from the state last month in a post on X.
