Three takeaways from Kentucky volleyball’s SEC Tournament quarterfinals sweep over Auburn

No. 1 seeded Kentucky volleyball (23-2, 15-0 SEC) can now look forward to seeing action in the semifinals of the SEC Tournament after a quarterfinal sweep against No. 8 seeded Auburn (17-11, 7-8) 3-0. The match saw complete domination from the Wildcats, with Auburn only posing a real threat in the third set, where Kentucky prevailed 25-22. In every aspect of the game, it’s easy to discern that Kentucky has set a strong precedent for the run they will take in the tournament. Here are three key takeaways from the match against Auburn that summarize Kentucky’s strong showing. Eva Hudson unsparingly fuels offensive attack- Senior Eva Hudson has been no stranger to headlines this season for Kentucky, and her practically perfect performance against Auburn has been the leading story out of Sunday’s match. Hudson finished with a 13-kill, no-error performance against the Tigers. With four terminations in the opening set, she aided in giving Kentucky multiple scoring runs, including a 5-0 that drew Auburn to call a time out, and was a cornerstone to the offensive performance. Freshman Kassie O’Brien has also been instrumental this entire season, and was huge against the Tigers. O’Brien currently ranks No. 14 in the NCAA for assists per set at 10. 54, pairing with her total 875 assists on the season. Against Auburn, O’Brien finished with 42 assists to round out at 14 assists per set in the match. Leading the kill count on the afternoon was junior Brooklyn DeLeye with 15, followed by Hudson and then redshirt junior Lizzie Carr, who put up eight terminations. The team hitting percentage ended in 0. 349, with 106 total attack attempts. Kentucky’s dominate defense- Kentucky and its ability to defensively excel, especially in generating digs, was completely apparent against Auburn. O’Brien and libero Molly Tuozzo both lead the team in digs, with 10 apiece. Coming in second was Molly Berezowitz with nine, followed by Hudson with eight and DeLeye with seven. The Cats also finished the game with six total blocks which beat out Auburn although being named as the best in the SEC statistically in blocking. Kennedy Washington and O’Brien lead amongst both teams in involvement in blocks, with three each, followed by Asia Thigpen and Carr with two apiece. Kentucky’s defense is not only sustained by its defensive specialists, but also gets its hitters in on the action to help sustain gameplay and depth. Against Auburn, the team limited the Tigers to only garnering a 0. 168 hitting percentage. Leading the Tigers in kills was Liz Markovska with 12 yet she only achieved a 0. 086 hit percentage. Craig Skinner finally has won a match in the SEC Tournament- The SEC Tournament has not been held since 2005, which also happened to be Kentucky Head Coach Craig Skinner’s inaugural season with the Wildcats since being named head coach in 2004. In that first, and only, game of the SEC Tournament 20 years ago, Kentucky fell to Arkansas. Now on par with the record that the 2025 SEC Coach of the Year holds during his tenure, which includes six other SEC Coach of the Year titles, Skinner can round out his resume with an SEC Tournament win. It should be easy to ascertain that Skinner will get his second, and maybe even third tournament wins paired with a championship title to round out his 21st year with the Wildcats. During Sunday’s match, the head coach looks as confident as ever as he sat (yes, sat) on the sideline that his team has every ability to make it far in the tournament. Only time will tell if Kentucky volleyball will be the team to win the tournament after its 20 year hiatus. Kentucky’s next showing will be against No. 4 seeded Tennessee on Monday, Nov. 24 to compete for a spot in the finals. The match is set to start at 6 p. m. EST.

Juez desestima casos de Trump contra Comey y James por designación ilegal de fiscal

Por ERIC TUCKER WASHINGTON (AP) Un juez federal desestimó el lunes los casos penales contra el exdirector del FBI, James Comey, y la fiscal general estatal de Nueva York, Letitia James, tras concluir que la fiscal que presentó los cargos a instancias del presidente Donald Trump fue nombrada ilegalmente por el Departamento de Justicia. Las resoluciones del juez federal de distrito Cameron McGowan Currie detienen al menos por ahora un par de procesamientos que habían acelerado las preocupaciones de que el Departamento de Justicia estaba siendo utilizado como arma para procesar a los adversarios políticos del presidente y representan una sorprendente reprimenda a las maniobras legales de la administración Trump para instalar apresuradamente a una fiscal leal e inexperta dispuesta a presentar los casos. Con el fallo, Lindsey Halligan se convierte en la persona más reciente en ser descalificada debido a la manera en que fue designada por el gobierno de Trump para fungir como fiscal. Ambos acusados habían solicitado que los casos fueran desestimados bajo el argumento de prejuicio, lo que significa que el Departamento de Justicia no podría presentarlos de nuevo. Pero el juez los desestimó sin prejuicio, aunque no estaba claro de momento si o cómo el Departamento de Justicia podría intentar revivir los procesamientos. La apelación a la designación de Halligan fue una parte de un asalto multifacético a las acusaciones por parte de Comey y James, quienes habían buscado que sus casos fueran desestimados por ser procesamientos vengativos. Los abogados de Comey también se habían centrado en irregularidades en el proceso del jurado investigador para intentar que el procesamiento fuera anulado. Cada una de esas solicitudes sigue pendiente. Halligan fue nombrada para el puesto en septiembre después de que el fiscal interino Erik Siebert se vio obligado a renunciar en medio de la presión de la administración Trump para presentar cargos contra Comey y James. Después de la renuncia de Siebert, los abogados de Comey argumentaron que los jueces de la corte federal de distrito deberían haber tenido la decisión exclusiva sobre quién llenaría la vacante. En cambio, Trump nominó a Halligan mientras imploraba públicamente a la secretaria de Justicia, Pam Bondi, en una publicación en redes sociales que tomara medidas contra sus oponentes políticos y en su red social Truth Social publicó que “¡¡¡LA JUSTICIA DEBE SERVIRSE, AHORA!!!”. Días después, Comey fue acusado de hacer una declaración falsa y obstruir al Congreso, y James fue acusada en una investigación de fraude hipotecario. En una declaración, James dijo: “Estoy alentada por la victoria de hoy y agradecida por las oraciones y el apoyo que he recibido de todo el país”. “Permanezco sin miedo ante estos cargos infundados mientras continúo luchando por los neoyorquinos cada día”, dijo la fiscal demócrata. Los jueces han descalificado por separado a fiscales federales interinos en Nueva Jersey, Los Ángeles y Nevada, pero han permitido que los casos presentados bajo su supervisión avancen. Pero los abogados de Comey y James argumentaron que el fallo de Currie necesitaba ir aún más lejos porque Halligan fue la única firmante de las acusaciones y la fuerza impulsora detrás de ellas. Comey ha sido durante años uno de los principales antagonistas de Trump. Nombrado para el puesto en 2013 por el presidente Barack Obama, Comey, en el momento de la elección de Trump en 2016, estaba supervisando una investigación sobre si su campaña presidencial había conspirado con Rusia para influir en el resultado de la contienda. Furioso por esa investigación, Trump despidió a Comey en mayo de 2017 y los dos funcionarios se han enfrentado verbalmente en los años posteriores. James también es un objetivo frecuente de la ira de Trump, especialmente desde que ganó un juicio asombroso contra él y la Organización Trump en una demanda que alegaba que él defraudó a los bancos al exagerar el valor de sus propiedades inmobiliarias en declaraciones financieras. Un tribunal de apelaciones anuló la multa, que había aumentado a más de 500 millones de dólares con intereses, pero confirmó el fallo de un tribunal inferior de que Trump había cometido fraude. _____ Michael R.

Chiefs Catch a Break in Week 13 After Latest Cowboys News: Report

The Kansas City Chiefs’ next opponents, the Dallas Cowboys, are playing at a really high level entering Week 13 after back-to-back wins over the Las Vegas Raiders and Philadelphia Eagles, but the latest injury news should help KC. “Left tackle Tyler Guyton is dealing with a high ankle sprain and is unlikely to be available Thursday vs. the Chiefs, per multiple sources,” ESPN beat reporter Todd Archer relayed on November 24. Adding: “Nate Thomas would start.” As Chiefs fans know all too well, even the best quarterbacks can struggle behind poor pass protection. And no offense to Thomas, but his backup status tells you that he’s a downgrade from Guyton talent-wise.

Olympiacos vs Real Madrid Prediction and Betting Tips | November 26th 2025

Olympiacos and Real Madrid will battle for three points in a UEFA Champions League fixture on Wednesday (November 26th). The game will be played at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium. The home side will be looking to build on the comprehensive 3-0 victory they registered over Atromitos at the same venue in the Greek Super League over the weekend. Ayoub El Kaabi broke the deadlock from the spot in the 37th minute to give them a lead at the break. Mehdi Taremi stepped off the bench to score a late brace. Thanks for the submission! Real Madrid, meanwhile, made it three games without a win in a 2-2 draw away to Elche in La Liga. A goalless first half was followed by a goal-laden second half, with Aleix Febas and Alvaro Rodriguez scoring twice to give Elche the lead, while Dean Huijsen and Jude Bellingham equalized on both occasions. Los Blancos will shift focus to the continent where their last game saw them fall to a 1-0 defeat away to Liverpool. Olympiacos played out a 1-1 draw at home to PSV. The stalemate left the Red-Whites in 31st spot in the standings with just two points from four games. Real Madrid are seventh on nine points. Olympiacos vs Real Madrid Head-to-Head and Key Numbers Real Madrid have four wins from eight head-to-head games. Olympiaos were victorious once while three games were drawn. This will be their first meeting since November 2007, when they played out a goalless stalemate. Olympiacos are unbeaten in their last nine European home games (five wins). Six of Madrid’s last seven head-to-head games against Greek opposition saw both sides find the back of the net. Four of Olympiacos’ last five games have produced over 2. 5 goals. Olympiacos vs Real Madrid Prediction Olympiacos have made a four-game winless start to their UCL campaign this term and have not won any of their last nine UCL grouo/league phase games (seven losses). Real Madrid are experiencing the first slump under Xabi Alonso’s management and the Bernabeu outfit are in need of a statement performance here. A failure to win could see them drop out of the top eight and would put Alonso further under the microscope. The Spaniards, however, are continental royalty and should have too much firepower for their hosts. Prediction: Olympiacos 1-3 Real Madrid Olympiacos vs Real Madrid Betting Tips Tip 1 Real Madrid to win Tip 2 Both teams to score Tip 3 Over 2. 5 goals Tip 4 Highest scoring half: Second half.

UMaine hockey player out of hospital after scary on-ice collision

University of Maine men’s hockey player Jeremy Langlois is out of the hospital and back in Orono, the UMaine athletic department announced Monday after a scary moment in Saturday’s game against Boston College. “After a collision in Saturday night’s game, Jeremy Langlois was taken to Brigham and Women’s Hospital for evaluation where CT scans and X-rays were normal,” UMaine Athletics said in a Monday afternoon update. “He was released and has since traveled back to Orono where he is under the care of our sports medicine staff.” With 8: 46 to play in Saturday’s game, a check sent the freshman defender falling into the boards. The game was stopped for several minutes and Langlois was taken off the ice on a stretcher. No penalty was assessed on the play.
