OKLAHOMA CITY — No. 3 Florida State knows its position is not enviable: No one wants to be down 0–1 in best-of-three championship series, period, much less against one of the best teams in collegiate softball history. No. 1 Oklahoma has looked nigh unbeatable all year and looked much the same at the Women’s College World Series on Wednesday. Yet the Seminoles believe they can dig in and come back.

The Nuggets teammates made history in the NBA Finals.
Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray are the twin engines powering the Denver Nuggets in the 2023 NBA Finals. Jokic is playing like the best basketball player in the world.

Nikola Jokić’s name is etched into NBA record books once again after his dominant performance in the Nuggets’ 109–94 Game 3 win over the Heat on Wednesday night.
The two-time MVP finished the game with a remarkable 32 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists, marking the first 30–20–10 game in NBA Finals history.
Wednesday’s performance is Jokić’s third 30-20-10 playoff game of his stunning postseason run. The other two instances came in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals vs. the Lakers (30 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists) and during Game 6 of the conference semifinals vs.
