Another portal defender with ties to the Purdue coaching staff is headed to West Lafayette, as former Colorado and Arkansas defensive back Myles Slusher announced his commitment to the Boilermakers late Saturday night.
Slusher was out of football in 2024, but has a wealth of experience at the Power 4 level. The 2021 four-star recruit signed with Arkansas out of high school, where he overlapped with Barry Odom, who was then defensive coordinator of the Razorbacks, as well as Mike Scherer, Kelvin Green and Jake Trump.

Ian Machado Garry survived a very late scare in an otherwise stellar performance against Carlos Prates.
The welterweight fight served as the UFC on ESPN 66 main event at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Mo., and was mostly in control of Machado Garry (16-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC), who proved to be the more effective striker. Prates (21-7 MMA, 4-1 UFC) didn’t go away quietly, but ended up on the wrong side of unanimous scores (48-47, 48-47, 49-46) from the official judges.

The Patriots added some hulking tackle depth early in the seventh round.

With pick No. 220 overall, New England drafted Missouri tackle Marcus Bryant, who stands 6-foot-7 and weighs in at 320 pounds.

Bryant spent the first four years of his college career at SMU — where he started 29 games — before transferring to Missouri, where he started all 13 games at left tackle in 2024. The 22-year-old has 34⅝ inch arms and a massive 83⅛ inch wingspan, but is fleet-footed for his size: He ran a 4.97 second 40-yard dash.

Though the Patriots drafted Will Campbell at No.

Even without Jimmy Butler, who was ruled out due to a pelvic contusion, the Golden State Warriors managed to defeat the Houston Rockets in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series by a final score of 104-93.
Stephen Curry led the way with a vintage performance: 36 points on 12-of-23 shooting from the field, nine assists, seven rebounds, two blocks and one steal.
They now lead the series two games to one, and they will have the opportunity to put a stranglehold on it when Game 4 takes place in San Francisco on Monday.

DENVER (AP) — Colorado captain Gabriel Landeskog scored his first NHL goal in nearly three years in the second period of Game 4 against Dallas on Saturday night.
The crowd erupted soon after Landeskog’s snap shot went into the net. He was quickly greeted by teammates along the boards and hugged by Nathan MacKinnon after he made his way over to the bench. Landeskog’s goal came off an assist from Brock Nelson and gave the Avalanche a 3-0 lead.
It was Landeskog’s first score since June 20, 2022, against Tampa Bay in the Stanley Cup Finals.
