Retaining competitive edge the key for CU Buffs in visit from UNC Bears

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:38:29 GMT

Tad Boyle knows what a solid Northern Colorado basketball team looks like. Boyle coached one of the best hoops teams in Bears history.So while this year’s version of the UNC Bears is a team in transition after losing a pair of premier scorers, Boyle has been quick to caution his Colorado men’s basketball team about complacency.Coming off their biggest win of the season’s early stages, the Buffaloes are hitting a slower competition window two weeks ahead of the start of Pac-12 Conference play with renewed confidence and an understanding that any off night can have long-lasting ramifications.Friday night’s date is part of a two games-in-18 days stretch for the Buffs, who nearly rejoined the Associated Press Top 25 this week but once again are likely to play without standout freshman Cody Williams.“They’ve recruited some good players. I like their personnel,” said Boyle, who coached at UNC for four seasons and led the Bears to a 25-win season in 2009-10 prior to his arrival at CU. “You...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:38:29 GMT

By STEPHEN GROVES, LISA MASCARO and SEUNG MIN KIM (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress was departing Washington on Thursday without a deal to pass wartime support for Ukraine, but Senate negotiators and President Joe Biden’s administration were still racing to wrap up a border security compromise to unlock the stalemate before the end of the year.The Senate planned to come back next week in hopes of passing the $110 billion package of aid for Ukraine, Israel and other national security and finalizing a deal to place new restrictions on asylum claims at the U.S. border. But the House showed no sign of returning to push the legislation through the full Congress.Lawmakers leaving the impasse unresolved through the holidays would mean the Biden administration would have to rely on a dwindling supply of funds for Ukraine. The wartime aid has so far been vital to Ukraine’s defending against Russia’s invasion, but an emboldened Russian President Vladimir Put...

It's been one year since Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was sworn in.She's made solving homelessness a top priority for the city. Last year, she launched the "Inside Safe" program, which helped relocate about 2,000 people through Nov. 30 of this past year. However, close to 400 of those left the program. This comes as 46,000 people are experiencing homelessness in L.A. "Overall, if you look at how many people were moved off the streets this year, we're talking about 21,000 in a variety of different ways, a lot of things to do in the next year," Bass explained the KTLA 5's Frank Buckley and Megan Telles. "But I think one of the most important things that we accomplished is destroying the myth that people won't leave the streets."She then provided an example of how unhoused people are telling others about the program. "We go to house people in an encampment, and there'll be 20 people. We've counted two days ahead of time, the move-out day 30 people show up. So people are coming, the unh...
