Four powerhouse teams took to the court this past weekend at Madison&nbsp;Square&nbsp;Garden. First, North Carolina, who had been ranked #1 at one point, defeated Ohio State 89-84 in overtime. Armando Bacot led the Tar Heels with 28 points and 15 rebounds in the win while Caleb Love added 22 points and 4 rebounds. As a team North Carolina shot 44 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the second game of the doubleheader, UCLA beat Kentucky 63-53. The Bruins got 19 points and 12 rebounds from Jaime Jaquez and 15 points and 3 rebounds from Tyger Campbell, while Christopher Livingston led the Wildcats with 14 points in the loss. Kentucky shot just 6 for 21 at 28 percent as a team in the 2nd half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other college basketball local action, the Seton Hall men\u2019s team fell short to Big East rival Providence 71-67. Leading The Hall was Kadary Richmond with 28 points in a tough loss at the Prudential Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In football, the Jets had some questionable clock management late that led to a 20-17 at home to the Detroit Lions, after Greg Zuerlein was unable to connect on a 58 yard kick to tie the game as time expired. Both teams are now 7-7 this year, Meanwhile, the Giants went down to Washington and stunned the Commanders 20-12 to pull ahead in the NFC rankings at 8-5-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In soccer (aka that other football) news, Lionel Messi scored two goals to win his first World Cup along with his Argentina teammates, denying France a chance to repeat in a penalty kick shootout finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, baseball has some big developments. First, the Yankees formally re-signed Aaron Judge, and named him the new team captain in the process. However, the biggest news came from the Mets, who swooped and signed Carlos Correa to a 12-year deal worth $315 million after the San Francisco Giants pulled away from a better paying contract due to concerns about Correa\u2019s health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SPORTS WRAP BY WILLIAM HATHAWAY, JR.
