Coach Nolan Smith's squad snatched the No. 1 seed in the OVC tournament by winning the regular-season title with a three-game lead on second-place Morehead State. Although Smith -- a former Duke and Louisville assistant -- hit the transfer portal to assemble this roster, three of his top four scorers are returnees that he has developed, and they are the anchors of the league's best offensive team.
Paris Saint-Germain had a bit more trouble separating itself from its Ligue 1 rival Monaco than predicted, but rode a 3-2 first leg win to a 5-4 aggregate victory. Newcastle demolished Qarabag, 9-3. Atlético Madrid turned a 3-3 first-leg draw around with a 4-1 second leg at home to dump out Club Brugge. Bayer Leverkusen vs. Olympiacos was a snoozer, won 2-0 on aggregate by the former.
Saracens went top of the Premiership Women's Rugby table with a seven-try 45-7 thrashing of third-placed Exeter Chiefs.

Canadians Alysha Corrigan and Julia Omokhuale, and England Under-20s scrum-half Tori Sellors, also scored in the second half for the hosts. Exeter's Hope Rogers scored a consolation try in the 84th minute to ensure the Chiefs were not shut out.

Saracens will travel to face Bath in the round of 16 after being beaten 28-3 by Glasgow in their final pool match at Scotstoun.

Seb Stephen then rumbled over in the closing seconds of the match to secure a fourth successive bonus-point pool-stage victory for Glasgow.
Desire Doue came off the bench to engineer an impressive turnaround for PSG, who conceded a goal in the opening minute and were 2-0 down after 18 minutes as Folarin Balogun grabbed a double for the hosts. The 20-year-old Doue replaced the Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele, who went off injured after 27 minutes, and proved decisive for the visitors as he struck two superb goals and set up one for Achraf Hakimi.
Pick'em contests are a streamlined version of daily fantasy sports. Instead of building a full lineup and competing against other users, you are simply choosing whether a player will go over or under a stat projection. Some platforms let you choose between two outcomes, while others offer a flex option that still pays out even if one of your picks misses. The appeal is clear. You do not need deep fantasy knowledge or hours of research to participate.
These days, however, they don't just have to sound their best for real-life games. Gremlin Interactive's groundbreaking Actua Soccer in 1995, which featured BBC Sport duo Barry Davies and Trevor Brooking on the mic, was the first football video game to feature a running match commentary, albeit a basic one. What might have been a gimmick became part of an ongoing quest for realism, evolving over the decades through the long-running Pro-Evo Soccer and Fifa series of games, to EA FC and Konami's eFootball.
Dragon Ball has its own take on the MOBA genre with Gekishin Squadra. The name sure is a mouthful, but this is one of the most welcoming experiences for newer MOBA players, even if you aren't too familiar with the Dragon Ball universe. But if you are an existing fan of the late Akira Toriyama's masterful manga and anime series, you'll be pleased with the wide selection of characters and abilities.
A thriving fan art community is always a sign of an entrenched playerbase. , Valve's secretive MOBA hero shooter, is currently teeming with creations all over social media that span the big three categories: horny, cute, and funny.

The leaderboards will be divided by the seven playable classes--Paladin, Rogue, Druid, Barbarian, Sorcerer, Necromancer, and Spiritborn. Additionally, the leaderboard rankings will only be set for two weeks periods rather than the entire season. Essentially, everyone gets a chance for a fresh start while Blizzard works out any kinks in the system.
A common response to negative reviews, no matter the subject, goes something like this: 'Well, what would you do to fix this?' Normally, I would answer this with some kind of rude joke about how the purpose of criticism is not to tell you how to fix your sink, or capitalism. I leave that work to the YouTubers. But this time, I'll make an exception. I will tell you what I am doing to fix all this. The answer is: Nothing.
