HAMDEN - Arguably, no program in Connecticut has been more affected by college basketball's ever-changing NIL, revenue sharing, transfer portal, and eligibility rules than Quinnipiac men's basketball.
With the season approaching, the Bobcats have lost all five starters from last season either to transfers or to the ambiguity of the new fifth-year eligibility rule.
The five starters lost accounted for the majority of Quinnipiac's scoring and rebounding last year.
"I am not fond of the changes that have been made in the college game," coach Tom Pecora said. "I started coaching in the early 80s and you were thrilled to get a scholarship, meal money and a chance to travel somewhere outside of your region or your state. I think it would be great if you paid kids after they graduated. Motivate them to graduate even if they go to several schools."
Two-time first-team All-Metro forward Amarri Monroe transferred to Syracuse while Jaden Zimmerman left for Grand Canyon, Grant Randall moved on to Dayton and Spence Wewe is now at Hofstra.

The Los Angeles Lakers may be ready for their regular-season opener on Wednesday once it arrives, but they may not be prepared. They were never whole in their five preseason games, of which they won only two, and that could hurt them in the early days and weeks of the regular season.
New starting center Walker Kessler didn't play in the team's first three preseason games. Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves played in only three games apiece, and therefore, Friday's game, which ended with a 121-106 loss to the Denver Nuggets, was the only game in which the three of them shared the court.
Reaves said after that contest that he knows building chemistry together will be a process that won't be easy, but he also expressed confidence that things will get sorted out in time.
"There's gonna be some growing pains," Reaves said. "Just a lack of reps together so far, but you take guys like that, that are that talented, you are more than likely gonna pick up on it sooner than later. We'll continue to grow that over the next couple days and get ready for opening night."
Kessler seemed to take it somewhat easy in his two exhibition appearances, but he looks poised to give Los Angeles the elite rebounding and shot-blocking it lacked last season. He had a total of 17 points on 6-of-14 shooting, 15 rebounds, five ***** ists, three blocks and two steals in 47 minutes during those two contests.

The Nasdaq ended the week with a couple of positive sessions, rebounding from a slight undercut of its 50-day moving average to close up 0.7% and near the top of the week's range. It's nothing to get too excited about, but just some modest positive reinforcement for those edging back into the market. The S&P 500 ended the week fractionally…

US stocks rebounded on Thursday as oil prices edged lower and a Fed rate hike on Wednesday offered some relief that the central bank was working to contain inflation.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) rose 0.6%, while the S&P 500 (^GSPC) climbed 1.1%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) jumped 1.7%, rebounding from a post-Fed-hike slump on Wednesday.
Stocks recovered as investors **** sed Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh's hawkish rhetoric, which **** ysts said helped restore the Fed's credibility on inflation. On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points for the first time in three years and projected one more rate hike this year.
The decision drew the ire of President Trump, who called for lower interest rates and said he had spoken with Warsh ahead of the FOMC meeting. "You might as well vote with the board because it's not going to matter," Trump said he told Warsh.
Oil prices, meanwhile, ticked lower as US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline, which has become a key alternative route for oil stuck in the Strait of Hormuz, would be restored soon. Brent crude (BZ=F), the global benchmark, changed hands at $104 per barrel.

WASHINGTON, Sept 16 (Reuters) - U.S. retail sales rebounded more than expected in August as households stepped up purchases of motor vehicles and stocked up for the new school year, reinforcing the economy's resilience even as consumers grow more anxious about high inflation.
Retail sales jumped 1.2% last month after a revised 0.5% drop in July, which was the first decline in nine months, the Commerce Department's Census Bureau said on Wednesday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast retail sales, which are mostly goods and are not adjusted for inflation, rebounding 0.8% after a previously reported 0.6% drop in July. Estimates ranged from as low as a 0.2% gain to as high as a 1.1% increase.
Last month's increase also partially reflected higher gasoline prices, which lifted receipts at service stations.
Households have continued to spend despite stubbornly high inflation because of the oil price shock and supply chain strains from the U.S.-led war with Iran. Consumers have, however, become more selective and are seeking lower-priced goods. Consumer sentiment deteriorated this month.
Spending is being supported by steady wage growth and recent stock market gains. Households are also saving less and tapping into their nest eggs. The strength in retail sales, together with elevated price pressures and a labor market that is regaining its poise after wobbling through much of summer, further strengthens financial market expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates later on Wednesday.

Sep. 14—The term sabermetrics was first coined by Bill James in 1980. It took quite a bit longer, however, for the idea to catch on with the baseball populace, but eventually acronyms like WAR, VORP and UZR caught on as a way to ****** yze the sport.
Analytics are equally as important these days in college basketball. It's why you hear Illinois coach Brad Underwood constantly referencing his team's adjusted offensive efficiency and offensive rebounding rate. Paid services like Synergy give coaching staffs an ****** ytical breakdown of their team to the finest detail.
Publicly available sites like , and , however, have broadened the usage and acceptance of a different way to follow and break down the sport. (KenPom and CBBAnalytics do have a subscription piece but are drastically cheaper than Synergy).
It's through those sites Illinois fans could track one of the most efficient offenses in the modern era during the 2025-26 season. The Illini eventually finished second in adjusted offensive efficiency behind Purdue last season. That particular metric was helped by the Illini not turning the ball over (eighth in turnover rate) and dominating the offensive glass (third in offensive rebounding rate).
One particular metric Illinois tracks is shot volume.

The Phillies and Braves will square off on Sunday afternoon in the third game of their four-game series. The teams split the first two with the Braves winning on Friday and the Phillies rebounding to take the second game.
Aaron Nola will start for the Phillies. The veteran righty has been very good lately, going 3-1 with a 2.65 ERA in August.
Tyler Mahle goes for the Braves. The righthander was acquired via trade at the end of July and has been a solid addition to the Atlanta rotation with a 1.48 ERA in five post-trade starts.
Game time is 1:10 PM and will be televised locally by NBCSP.

The general expectation around the NBA is that the Los Angeles Lakers will take at least half a step backward this season without LeBron James. Last season, they went 53-29 and finished fourth in the Western Conference, but now, they may not have a true third scorer, and the belief is that they still lack enough plus defenders on the perimeter.
But the Lakers still do have a competitive roster, and in fact, their roster does look more balanced and versatile this time around. Derek Fisher, a guard who won five NBA ****** les with the Lakers back in the day, feels there won't be much of a drop-off this season with James now on the Philadelphia 76ers, via Lakers Nation.
"You think about the few organizations where LeBron has been, you tell me where their record has gotten dramatically better after he left," Fisher said during his show on 97.1 The Fan LA. "So it's not going to fall off that much because Luka [Doncic] is there. I think Luka and Austin Reaves are basically an All-Star backcourt that you can roll out every night, and then Walker Kessler is a young developing almost All-Star-ish type of big in terms of his elite defense and rebounding. So I think you have a chance…45 to 50 wins, a lot of things are going to have to go right, but it feels fair to me."
When James left the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2010, they went 19-63 the following season and didn't make the playoffs until he returned for the 2014-15 campaign. The results were similar for the four seasons following James' second departure from the Cavaliers in 2018.
Kessler was L.A.'s big offseason addition, and by himself, he could improve its defense. It also brought in Quentin Grimes and Collin ****** ton to boost its offense and its backcourt, Sandro Mamukelashvili could be a nice utility big man, and Matisse Thybulle and Ziaire Williams could be reliable 3-and-D role players. In addition, rookie guard Cameron Carr could break into the rotation before too long.

WNBA reverses Angel Reese suspension decision after Dream loss originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Angel Reese will be available for the Atlanta Dream's next game after the WNBA reversed a call that initially carried an automatic suspension. Reese was **** sed her eighth technical foul of the season during the fourth quarter of Atlanta's 101-83 loss to the Portland Fire on Friday. Under WNBA rules, that total would have resulted in a one-game suspension for Sunday's matchup with the Minnesota Lynx.
The league reviewed the play after the game and rescinded the technical foul, ESPN's Alexa Philippou reported on X. Reese was returned to seven technical fouls and avoided the suspension. The play occurred after Reese and Portland guard Carla Leite became tangled while battling for rebounding position. Reese appeared to push Leite as the two separated, prompting officials to issue the technical.
That decision did not survive the league's review.
Although Reese escaped an immediate punishment, she has little room for error over the remainder of the regular season. Her next technical foul would again be her eighth, automatically triggering a one-game suspension. Additional technicals later in the season could lead to further suspensions under the WNBA's escalating disciplinary system.

The stock market saw solid gains for the major indexes, rebounding off their 21-day moving averages, though small caps fell slightly toward their 50-day line. Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh leaned hawkish in his Jackson Hole speech, and markets generally seemed to like it. Nvidia (NVDA) surged on booming earnings and blowout guidance, but many chip and AI hardware plays struggled. Negative earnings reactions to Marvell (MRVL) and Everpure (P) didn't help. Meanwhile, Salesforce (CRM), CrowdStrike (CRWD), Okta (OKTA) and Elastic (ESTC) were big software earnings winners, fueling a bisector move. Youth apparel retailer Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) skyrocketed while ****** 's Sporting Goods (DKS) dived.
The major indexes rose solidly off their 21-day moving averages, not far from record highs, though small caps retreated toward their 50-day line. Fed Chief Kevin Warsh's Jackson Hole speech got a generally positive reaction. Nvidia (NVDA), Salesforce (CRM), CrowdStrike (CRWD), Okta (OKTA), Elastic (ESTC) and Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) were among the notable earnings winners. Crude oil prices and the 10-year Treasury yield fell, though they came off weekly lows.
Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh, coming off his July 29 news conference that left Wall Street doubting his inflation-fighting credibility, turned the page with Friday's address at the annual Jackson Hole, Wyo., monetary policy conference. Warsh said his perception is that the economy has strengthened, allowing the Fed to focus on achieving its 2% inflation target. Citing strong business capital spending and strong profit growth, with the exceptions of housing and agriculture, Warsh said he would be "hard pressed to describe broad financial conditions as restrictive." Reaction to his address lifted odds of a Sept. 16 Fed rate hike to 56% from around 35% on Thursday, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool.
The latest inflation data may have added to pressure on Fed Chair Warsh to set a hawkish tone on Friday. The PCE (personal consumption expenditures) price index topped forecasts with a 0.2% rise that kept the 12-month headline inflation rate at 3.7%. Core inflation held at 3.3%, though the figure was 3.344% when unrounded to the nearest tenth of a percent. Q2 GDP growth was unrevised at an unimpressive 1.5%, but the underlying measure of growth was revised to a sizzling 4.2% from 3.9% initially. That reflects final real sales to private domestic purchasers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said it expects to revise payroll growth in the year through March down by 79,000 overall and 178,000 for the private sector. That would leave 12-month gains of 195,000 overall and 321,000 for private employers.
AI chip leader Nvidia (NVDA) posted a beat-and-raise fiscal second-quarter report and gave a bullish forecast for next year. Nvidia stock jumped on the news. Adjusted earnings surged 112% year over year. Sales soared 106% to $96.2 billion, the fourth straight quarter of accelerating revenue g

The U.S. Treasury is weighing whether to use its roughly $1 trillion General Account to help pay for its expanded bond buyback program, according to CNBC, citing two Treasury officials. The officials did not say how much of the account would be used.
Monday's report pushed the 10-year Treasury note yield down 4 basis points to 4.7%. The 30-year yield, which last week reached its highest point since 2007, retreated 4 basis points to 5.23%.
The Treasury General Account functions as the federal government's primary operating account at the Federal Reserve. The account stood near $950 billion — well above the $550 to $600 billion level the prior administration had aimed to maintain — and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent built the balance using existing tax collections. The prevailing market expectation had been that buyback purchases would be funded through new short-term bill sales, an approach Bessent described as a "Treasury Twist." The senior officials did not rule out that approach but indicated the General Account represents an additional potential funding source.
Officials said they do not view a partial drawdown of the account as creating a near-term cash management problem, with the next debt-ceiling constraint not expected until sometime between next winter and early spring, according to CNBC.
The report follows Treasury's announcement last week that it would at least double the maximum size of its per-operation bond purchases for longer-dated securities, raising the ceiling from $2 billion to at least $4 billion for the 10-to-20-year and 20-to-30-year portions of the market. Treasury set the window for those larger operations to begin September 9 and close November 4. Yields dropped after the announcement before rebounding, with the 30-year yield giving back most of Wednesday's decline by Thursday, as ***** ysts questioned whether the program was large enough to alter the balance of supply and demand in a $32 trillion market.

The WNBA returns with a three-game slate Tuesday after a busy Monday that saw the Golden State Valkyries hand the Minnesota Lynx an 80-66 loss and the Atlanta Dream beat the Los Angeles Sparks 78-71. Angel Reese made history in Atlanta's win, setting the league's single-game rebounding record with 26 boards while also breaking the single-season mark.
Tuesday's action features the Chicago Sky, Connecticut Sun, Portland Fire, Dallas Wings, Washington Mystics and Phoenix Mercury.
The Sky travel to Connecticut for the first game of Tuesday's schedule. Both teams are already eliminated from playoff contention, with Chicago joining Connecticut after Sunday's loss to the Indiana Fever. Portland heads to Dallas, with the Wings seeking to advance to the playoffs for the first time since 2023 with a win. The final game takes place in Phoenix, where the Mystics continue their push for higher seeding.

Angel Reese put together a historic rebounding performance as the Atlanta Dream defeated the Los Angeles Sparks, but a viral sequence involving Cameron Brink quickly became the center of attention.
Reese repeatedly attacked the basket during the 78-71 victory, only for Brink to challenge her attempts around the rim and spark plenty of reactions from WNBA fans.
The Dream completed a perfect 4-0 West Coast road trip with Monday's victory, but the conversation surrounding Reese extended beyond her record-setting night.
The third-year forward finished with 11 points and a league record 26 rebounds, surpassing Chamique Holdsclaw's previous single-game mark of 24 boards that had stood since 2003.
Reese also broke A'ja Wilson's single-season rebounding record (451), reaching 458 boards for the year.

Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese rebounded her way into the record books not once, but twice on Monday night.
In Atlanta's 78-71 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks, Reese recorded 26 rebounds to shatter Chamique Holdsclaw's single-game record (24) set back in 2003. By the time the final buzzer sounded, Reese had already surpassed A'ja Wilson's single-season rebounding record of 451.
Reese finished the night with 458 total rebounds for the season, scoring 11 points to help Atlanta clinch a fourth consecutive road win.
The Dream needed every single one of those 26 rebounds to survive their sluggish offense, as Los Angeles kept the game tight, forcing them into tough late-clock situations. Reese pulled down 8 offensive rebounds, with every missed jumper from Atlanta seemingly ending up in her hands.
She logged 38 minutes and added 3 ******* ists and 3 steals. However, her touch around the rim was erratic, shooting 4-for-14 from the floor.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Angel Reese rebounded her way into the record books not once, but twice in one night.
Reese set a WNBA record with 26 rebounds in the Atlanta Dream's 78-71 win over the Los Angeles Sparks on Monday, pushing her past the season record in the same game.
"Last time I was here, I didn't miss any shots. Tonight I couldn't hit (anything) so I knew I was going be able to get them on the rebounding side," Reese told the postgame show. "I just want to be there for my team. Offensively, defensively, whatever it takes to win."
Reese surpassed Chamique Holdsclaw's record of 24 rebounds, set on May 23, 2003 for Washington. She now has 458 rebounds on the season, seven more than A'ja Wilson's mark set in 2024.
Reese secured her WNBA-leading 27th double-double of the season on a basket with 13.9 seconds left in the game that gave her 11 points.

Bitcoin bros have a new bro: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
Days after Bessent announced the Treasury planned to double long-term debt buybacks from $2 billion to at least $4 billion, Bitcoin jumped to nearly $80,000. The rest of the crypto market followed. The question is: can it last?
Bitcoin is back, rebounding from its early-February 2026 lows after nearly 200 days of sideways action. It spent about 120 days falling from its $130,000 highs to as low as $59,800, or a 52% drop.
Why Bitcoin fell from such heights is a mix of conspiracy and the commodity's four-year cycle. After Bitcoin peaked in late December 2017, it took about 1,420 days to reach its then all-time high of ~$69,000 in December 2021. Bitcoin took the same amount of time to reach its October 2025 high of ~$130,000, only to fall once again.

Bitcoin's price volatility has been on full display in recent months, rebounding sharply from a stretch of sharp price swings. However, many investors see price slumps as a buying opportunity — not an exit sign.
If you want to purchase bitcoin, there's good news. It's no longer a chaotic financial frontier experiment — it's fast, regulated, and integrated into institutional finance.
New to bitcoin? Here's everything you need to know.
There are several ways to buy bitcoin. You can go through a crypto exchange, a fintech app, or a traditional brokerage that will allow you to buy into a bitcoin ETF.
Before placing a trade, though, decide what you actually want: full ownership of your bitcoin and private keys — or easy price exposure inside a familiar, regulated system.

BYU added a massive late addition to its roster as Michigan State big man Jaxon Kohler announced his commitment to BYU. Kohler is eligible to play this coming season as the state of California lawsuit he was part of received a temporary injunction allowing fifth-year graduated players college eligibility. The NCAA may appeal the decision.
The American Fork, Utah native is LDS and was one of the best big men in the Big 10 last year. Kohler spent all four seasons at Michigan State, going from bench player his first two seasons to starting 69 games his last two seasons for Tom Izzo. Kohler went from a back-to-basket big man his first two year two a stretch big his last season. As a senior, Kohler averaged 12.5 points, 8.9 rebounds, and shot 39% from three and and 87% from the FT line. Kohler was 0-5 combined his first two seasons from three, and as a senior shot 58-139. For all players listed at 6-foot-10 or taller, Jaxon was tied for sixth in college basketball last season in threes made (stat courtesy of X account CBBAnalystics). Listed at 6-foot-10 by Michigan State, Kohler primarily played the four in Michigan State's big lineup but will likely primarily play the five spot at BYU.
Had Jaxon entered the transfer portal back in April, he would be a top 10 transfer this cycle. If he would have entered the portal then, he would have been the most impactful player big man BYU could have realistically landed. Just look at what Kohler did when Michigan State played at Michigan, the national champion with three lottery big men in their frontcourt. Kohler scored 23 points and grabbed 8 boards on 10-13 shooting from the floor and 2-4 from three. He led the Spartans in points and rebounds against the vaunted Wolverine front line. Kohler had 12 double doubles last season and was top 5 in the Big 10 and offensive and defensive rebound percentage.
Kohler takes BYU to a fringe top 25 team to a Big 12 **** le **** le contender. I have Jaxon as the best offensive big man in the Big 12 and one of the three best bigs in the league along with Arizona's Mo Krivas and Houston's Jo Tugler.
Jaxon is not a shot blocker, and I have questions about BYU's defense. He does bring effort and great rebounding prowess on that end, however, and should make BYU one the nation's top offenses. No big that is elite on both ends of the floor stays in college more than one year. Jaxon is a fifth-year senior that will be one of the top big men in college basketball. Out of any big man that BYU has pursued this offseason, none would have been more impactful or lead to more wins that Kohler will.

SoFi and Upstart each remain down 33% year to date despite Wednesday's rally, as falling Treasury yields rather than any company news drove the 6 to 8% fintech rebound.
FINX sits down 12% year to date, and Upstart's 0.6% fund weighting means even an 8% single-day surge barely registers at the portfolio level.
Act now: the **** yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Affirm didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.
Fintech names are rebounding at midday Wednesday. SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock is up 6% to $18.66, Upstart Holdings (NASDAQ:UPST) stock is up 8% to $31.58, and Affirm Holdings (NASDAQ:AFRM) stock is up 7% to $78.55. The move follows a sharp retreat in long-end Treasury yields.
The Treasury Department stated it would increase buybacks of long-dated government debt "by at least double" for securities from the 10-year to 30-year sector. The 10-year Treasury yield fell 5 basis points to 4.65%, and the 30-year yield declined 8 basis points to 5.2% after hitting its highest level since 2007 earlier this week.

The 10-year T-note yield dropped -6 bp to 4.64% today after the US Treasury announced that it will boost liquidity and double the size of buybacks for longer-dated nominal coupon securities to at least $4 billion.
