Georgia Tech basketball targeting Troy's Scott Cross as next coach | Sources

Troy coach Scott Cross has emerged as the leading candidate in Georgia Tech's basketball coaching search, multiple people with direct knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports on Friday, March 20.

The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about Cross' candidacy. It wasn't immediately clear whether Cross, who led Troy to its second straight Men's NCAA Tournament berth this season, has been offered the job.

The Georgia Tech job came open when athletic director Ryan Alpert fired Damon Stoudamire on March 8 after the Yellow Jackets closed their season on a 12-game losing streak and failed to make the 15-team ACC Tournament. Stoudamire, an ex-Arizona star, lasted three seasons with the Yellow Jackets and posted a 42-55 record.

Cross and Furman coach Bob Richey were among the candidates thoroughly vetted by Alpert during Georgia Tech's search, with Cross emerging as the focus, multiple sources told USA TODAY Sports.

A Texas Christian University Horned Frogs cheerleader practices before the game during a first round game of the men's 2026 NCAA Tournament at Bon Secours Wellness Arena on March 19, 2026 in Greenville, SC.

Richey coached Furman to its eighth March Madness berth this season and second since 1980. The 15th-seeded Paladins (22-12) will face No. 2 UConn (29-5) in the first round on Friday.

Why Georgia Tech is targeting Scott Cross

Georgia Tech is trying to revive a program that has lost 93 games the past five seasons and has just one NCAA Tournament berth since 2010.

In narrowing the focus on Cross, Georgia Tech is targeting a coach coming off a successful stint after spending more than two decades at the Division I level.

Cross, who has 19 years' experience as an NCAA head coach, led Troy to a Sun Belt Conference championship and 22-12 record this season, ending with Thursday's 76-47 loss to Nebraska in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Cross' last five Troy teams won at least 20 games. His past two reached the NCAA Tournament and another reached the now-defunct College Basketball Invitational.

Before arriving at Troy, Cross guided Texas-Arlington to postseason appearances in the NIT and College Invitational Tournament (CIT) quarterfinals.

NEW YORK (AP) — WNBA players are having information sessions over the next day or two to learn more about the new collective bargaining agreement that was agreed to in principle early Wednesday morning.

Through zoom calls and one-on-one conversations, the players are hearing about some of the details of the transformational new deal that will last for the next seven years with an opt-out after six, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. The person spoke to The on Thursday on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the discussions.

Lawyers on both sides are finalizing the term sheet, which should be done in the next day or so. It will then get put to a vote of the players with a majority needed to ratify the CBA. The league's Board of Governors will then need to approve the deal before it becomes official.

The deal came after the two sides spent the past eight days in intense in-person negotiations that lasted for more than 100 hours. They came to the agreement about 2:20 a.m. Wednesday after spending more than 10 hours of discussions on Tuesday.

"This is historical for women's sports. I told Cathy it's not just for the players that are entering the league or the players that aren't already here," union president Nneka Ogwumike said of her conversations with WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. "We're just really grateful to be able to come to a deal. We're proud of ourselves."

Here are a few key points from the CBA.

Salary cap

The salary cap for the 2026 season is expected to be $7 million with average salaries more than $585,000, according to the person. Top players can make over $1 million for the first time in the league's history with a supermax salary close to $1.4 million. The cap could grow up to $11 million in 2031 if revenue projections go well. The salary cap can change a maximum of 10% in either direction each year with the exception of after the first season when it could up or down 13%.

The minimum salary for this year would be around $300,000 as the league enters its 30th season. This would increase salaries fourfold from last season. The average salary, which was about $125,000 last year, should be around $584,000 before revenue sharing in 2026.

"For the first time, player salaries are tied to a truly meaningful share of league revenue, driving exponential growth in the salary cap, increasing average compensation beyond half a million dollars and raising the standard across facilities, staffing and support," Ogwumike said after the verbal agreement Wednesday morning.

The average revenue share over the length of the deal will be around 20%, according to the person. It's still unclear whether its the gross revenue the players asked for or the net revenue the league pushed for.

Housing

Teams will continue to pay for housing for the first three years of the deal according to the person. In 2029 and 2030, teams will pay for housing for players earning $500,000 or less. After that, teams will only pay for the housing of developmental players.

Rookies contracts

Rookie contracts will remain for four years with a bump in pay for all players still on rookie contracts. Players who earn All-WNBA honors can get the maximum salary in the fourth year of their contract if they stay with their team. So far Caitlin Clark would be eligible for that in 2027, Paige Bueckers in 2028 and Aliyah Boston this season.

March Madness upsets: Tracking broken NCAA tournament brackets as High Point stuns Wisconsin, VCU knocks off North Carolina in OT

Yahoo Sports Staff Fri, March 20, 2026 at 4:36 AM UTC

Big upsets are arguably one of the most exciting parts of March Madness, despite the pain they might bring your already-busted bracket. As the NCAA tournament began in earnest on Thursday, the first game of the day, between No. 9 TCU and No. 8 Ohio State, did not disappoint. Shortly after, another Big Ten squad went down as No. 12 High Point stunned No. 5 Wisconsin. By Thursday night, several more upsets had been finalized.

We'll break down all the major losses of the men's tournament below:

No. 9 Saint Louis 102, No. 8 Georgia 77: The Bulldogs never stood a chance here.

Saint Louis, led by star center Robbie Avila, rolled to a blowout win over Georgia on Thursday night. The Billikens led the entire way, and went on an extended 23-0 run through halftime that broke the game wide open. By the time Georgia finally scored again, the Billiken's lead had exploded up to 35 points.

Avila — who has earned some incredibly creative nicknames, including Cream Abdul-Jabbar and Larry Nerd — had 12 points and five rebounds. Dion Brown led the way with 18 points after he went 9-of-10 from the field. The Billikens, who probably should have earned a higher seed than what they got, will now take on No. 1 Michigan on Saturday.

No. 10 Texas A&M 63, No. 7 Saint Mary's 50: The Aggies led the entire way in this one and cruised to a double-digit win without any issue. After opening the contest on a long 9-0 run that kept the Gaels scoreless for the first four minutes, they took an 11-point lead into the break at halftime.

While the second half was much closer, the Gaels simply couldn't narrow that gap. Saint Mary's failed to score in the final 2:30 of the contest as the Aggies simply rode out the 13-point win into the next round.

No. 11 Texas 79, No. 6 BYU 71: Texas was in control of this one just about the entire way.

Texas, after a bit of a back-and-forth early on, surged ahead of AJ Dybantsa and BYU in the second half and held on to grab the eight-point win. That sent the Longhorns, who had to beat NC State in the play-in on Tuesday, into the second round.

Dybantsa had 18 points in the first half alone to keep BYU in it, and Texas coach Sean Miller was very blunt when asked how he could stop them at the break.

"I don't think we can," he said plainly.

The Cougars, after falling down by 17 points in the second half, got back within four points with just under a minute left. But that was as close as they got. The Longhorns held them scoreless the rest of the way to grab the win.

Dybantsa ended up finishing with 35 points and 10 rebounds. He's now the first freshman with at least 30 points in his NCAA tournament debut since Stephen Curry did so with Davidson back in 2007.

No. 11 VCU 82, No. 6 North Carolina 78: Well, North Carolina completely fell apart.

The Tar Heels, who led by as many as 19 points in the second half, let the Rams climb all the way back to force overtime. Then, after both teams went cold in the extra period, it was Terrence Hill who drilled the eventual game-winner. Hill, with about 15 seconds left on the cock, pulled up from the top of the key and drained a step-back 3-pointer.

Though Henri Veesaar reached the free throw line at the other end and had the chance to tie the game again, he missed both of his shots from the stripe. That paved the way for the Rams to secure the upset win, which was the largest first-round comeback victory in NCAA tournament history.

No. 12 High Point 83, No. 5 Wisconsin 82: Not a bad time to make your first two-pointer of the year, Chase Johnston! And so a rough day for the Big Ten continues. High Point made its first NCAA tournament appearance last year, and this year heads to the round of 32 for the first time.

No. 9 TCU 66, No. 8 Ohio State 64: This result might've seemed fated at halftime, when the Horned Frogs held a 15-point lead, but the Buckeyes stormed back in the second half to make the first game of the day everything you'd want to kick off March Madness. TCU's Xavier Edmonds hit a shot at the rim with 4.3 seconds to go, and Ohio State wasn't able to get a good look before time expired.

While it may not have been a true upset, TCU was a 2.5-point underdog and will be moving on to the round of 32 for the first time since 2023.

Follow along throughout the NCAA tournament as we track every single upset.

Latto confirmed she was dating rapper 21 Savage in September 2025 after years of rumors

Latto is going to a mom!

On Friday, March 20, the 27-year-old rapper, whose real name is Alyssa Michelle Stephens, announced she's expecting her first baby by dropping the cover for her upcoming album Big Mama and the music video for her latest single, "Business & Personal."

On the cover for her fourth studio album, Latto could be seen cuddling a baby cheetah while showing off her bare baby bump in a sheer cropped black top with a cape. "BIG MAMA (the album) 5/29," she wrote in the caption. "'Business & Personal (Intro)' song & video out now. Thank you God 🥹."

She also shared a snippet of the music video for her new song "Business & Personal," with the musician once again showing off her bare bump in a white lace bra and shorts. In the video, Latto can be heard rapping, "Maybach that's the Benz of the day, car seat, got a kid on the way," as she winks and smiles at the camera while sitting on a rocking chair.

A hand, appearing to be that of her partner, fellow rapper 21 Savage, is then seen being placed on her bump. Latto confirmed she was dating 21 Savage in September 2025 after years of rumors. She also referred to the 33-year-old — who is already a dad to three children: sons Kamari and Ashaad and daughter Rhian — as her "husband."

Asked if she was tired of hearing rumors about her dating 21 Savage — real name Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph — the "Big Energy" rapper told TMZ, "No. My man, my man, my man."

Rumors about the pair first began in December 2020 after their first collaboration "Pull Up," according to Complex.

They then collaborated again on 2022's "Wheelie" from Latto's 777 album, with fans noticing a new tattoo behind Latto's ear in 2023 that appeared to read "Shéyaa," 21 Savage's real first name.

Elsewhere in the snippet of the music video, Latto could be seen walking around a white crib and viewing a scrap book featuring a page with a rattle and dummy and a positive ClearBlue pregnancy test placed on top. "I only took one test cuz I already knew what it was lol," the book's page reads.'

Latto also gave fans a closer look at her bump in an Instagram Live as she danced to her new song, according to Complex.

Teasing fans the night before, the rapper posted a video of just her legs walking in black heels to feed the cheetah cub a bottle of milk.

"I ain't go missing, I had to give y'all time to miss me," she said in a voice over. "Before you run the game, you got to take baby steps to go the distance. Home to the studio, studio back home."

She continued, "Listening to every beat, feeling every kick. Ever since I was a little girl, I always dreamed of having my own. Big Mama but this time the stakes' way bigger."

Ending with a teaser screen that read, "Midnight," Latto concluded, "Now it's on me to deliver," alongside what appeared to be the sound of a heartbeat.

White House Ruthlessly Hits Back At Jamie Lee Curtis After Her Blunt Diversity Statement

Jamie Lee Curtis accused the Trump administration of trying to "erase" diversity from the United States.

The White House has since responded to the actress, labeling her "woke" and claiming that one cares about her political views.

Jamie, who has a trans daughter, has long been an advocate for diversity and LGBTQ+ rights.

After condemning ICE and Border Patrol agents in the wake of the fatalities of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, the Oscar winner weighed in on the topic of diversity and the inclusion of minorities.

"I'm happy more women are getting appreciation," Jamie said at the South by Southwest festival on Saturday (March 14) while discussing diversity in the film industry.

"More people of color are getting appreciation. More genders are being appreciated. Diversity, inclusivity, the words that Donald Trump is trying to erase from our language, which is an abomination. It's fantastic."

She also thanked the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for giving space to films like Sinners and for continuing to grow "like our Constitution should."

The actress said the Constitution "was designed to be amended. It was not designed to be a rigid, binary idea. It was designed to grow and flow as people grew and flowed.

"But we've become binary in our ideas and the interpretation of that binary is what has gotten us into another war. I mean, it's just awful."

The actress previously voiced her support for the protests in Minnesota against ICE

The White House quickly brushed off Jamie's remarks, dismissing her political views as irrelevant to the general public.

Without naming her directly, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle told Fox News, "Nobody in their right mind cares what out-of-touch woke celebrities in Hollywood say or think."

The back-and-forth between the actress and the government comes after Jamie spoke out against the Trump administration last month, calling it "inhuman."

During an event for the nonprofit Project Angel Food, she told Variety, "Every day I think I'm not going to be shocked anymore, and then I'm shocked.

"It is inhuman the way this administration is treating its citizens and its constituents and people in need. It's an abhorrence what they're doing."

She also accused Trump of using ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to distract from the Epstein files and his alleged ties to the disgraced financier.

Other celebrities, such as Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish, and Kehlani, have also condemned the federal agency.

"We're only going to get sh*t done if we do it together and defy these motherf**kers," Jamie said, referring to the protests that erupted in Minnesota after an ICE agent fatally fired at Renee Good, a 37-year-old American woman.

The Trump administration maintains that the agent, Jonathan Ross, acted in self-defense after the woman tried to run him over with her vehicle on January 7.

Days later, on January 24, federal agents from the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) fired at 37‑year‑old Alex Pretti, also in Minneapolis.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the agents fired in self-defense after Pretti, who they say had a weapon, resisted their attempts to disarm him.

Eyewitnesses and local officials have challenged that account, pointing out he had a phone in his hand, not a weapon.

"THESE WERE AMERICANS! SH*T BY OUR GOVERNMENT," Jamie wrote on social media. "Let the ICE STORM of RESISTANCE RING LOUDLY."

The 67-year-old Halloween actress previously slammed conservatives who spread homophobic views in the "name of religion."

She made the comments in 2023 while speaking at the Out100 Celebration, an event honoring members of the LGBTQ+ community and advocates hosted by Out magazine. That year, she received the "Advocate of The Year" award.

"These are very dangerous times and I'm very happy to be in a room with people who are fighting the best fight they can fight," she said during her speech.

Referring to her daughter, who came out as a trans woman in 2021, she added, "Especially for people who have felt hidden their entire lives, and who have had the remarkable courage to state their truths like my beautiful daughter, Ruby."

Jamie shares 29-year-old Ruby with her husband, comedy director Christopher Guest. The longtime couple also has a 39-year-old daughter named Annie.

"This is what you do when you're a parent: You suit up and you show up with your heart open and your arms outstretched and your aim, true. Your job is to tell the haters to back the f**k off.

"I pray that the homophobia and transphobia that is being championed in the name of religion by the right is exposed and silenced as wrong by the love of humanity that is the center of our gay and out trans community."
