It didn't take Syracuse first-year coach Fran Brown long to figure out the key matchup for Saturday afternoon's Atlantic Coast Conference game visiting Miami. "Syracuse has a really good quarterback," Brown said of Kyle McCord, "and Miami has a really good quarterback (Cam Ward)." With a win on Saturday, the No. 6 Hurricanes (10-1, 6-1 ACC) can clinch a berth in the league championship game against SMU. Miami is a 10 1/2-point favorite for Saturday's game. Syracuse (8-3, 4-3) has reached eight wins for just the fourth time since 2002, going 8-5 in 2010 and 2012 and 10-3 in 2018. However, the Orange haven't defeated a Top-10 team since knocking off Clemson in 2017. Miami leads the nation in scoring (44.7), and the Hurricanes will count on perfect passing conditions in Syracuse's dome. That could be huge for Ward, who leads the nation with 34 touchdown passes, ranking second in passing yards (3,774) and fourth in passing efficiency. Ward's top target is wide receiver Xavier Restrepo, who needs just 21 yards to reach 1,000 for the second straight season. Restrepo also ranks tied for seventh in the nation with 10 TD receptions. Ward has some other top targets, including 6-foot-4, 245-pound tight end Elijah Arroyo, who is a walking mismatch because of his size and speed. He leads Miami with 18.5 yards per reception. Hurricanes wide receivers Isaiah Horton and Jacolby George have combined for 12 TD passes, and Sam Brown has added two more. Each of them has more than 500 receiving yards this season. Miami's running game features battering ram Damien Martinez (739 yards, 5.5 average, eight TDs); versatile Mark Fletcher Jr. (499 yards, 5.7 average, six TDs); and game-breaking freshman Jordan Lyle (361 yards, 8.6 average, four TDs). Defensively, Miami's big-play man is safety Mishael Powell, who ranks second in the ACC with five interceptions. "He's all about winning," Miami coach Mario Cristobal said of Powell. "He's a smart, self-starting team player." On special teams, Miami kicker Andres Borregales ranks second in the ACC with 97 points. He is 52-for-52 on extra points and 15-for-16 on field goals. Meanwhile, McCord ranks No. 1 in the nation in passing yards (3,946) and tied for seventh in TD passes (26). McCord, a transfer from Ohio State, has also set Syracuse's single-season record for passing yards. In last week's 31-24 win over Connecticut, McCord passed for a career-high 470 yards. However, McCord is just 46th in the nation in passing efficiency, due in part to his high total of interceptions (12). Syracuse also has three of the top six pass-catchers in the ACC in terms of yards: tight end Oronde Gadsden II (810) and wide receivers Jackson Meeks (801) and Trebor Pena (743). Gadsden, who is from the greater Miami area, has had three straight 100-yard games. He is the son of former Miami Dolphins wide receiver Oronde Gadsden. Syracuse's run game is led by LeQuint Allen, who has rushed for 819 yards, a 4.3 average and 12 TDs. The issue for Syracuse could be its defense, which ranks 13th in the ACC in points allowed (27.8). Miami's defense is fourth (22.3). Even so, Syracuse coach Brown said he's excited about this matchup. "I heard Miami is going to come deep," Brown said of Miami fans. "It's going to be intense in the stands. It's going to be intense on the field. I think this is a game everyone wants to see." --Field Level Media

Sometimes going to a Caribbean island just isn’t enough; you need a private Caribbean island escape to fully unplug and recharge. Enter COMO Parrot Cay , an exclusive, secluded fleck of land in Turks and Caicos with miles of white sand beach, lush greenery and a wide variety of accommodations from hotel rooms to sprawling residences for up to 8 guests. Here you can hit the reset button on your daily routine by kayaking through the property’s mangrove forest, booking a pilates session in the property’s open-air exercise studio, or simply enjoying a slice of Neapolitan pizza poolside. This and next year there are also several wellness journeys to guide guests ensuring they don’t just feel good during their time at COMO Parrot Cay, but also when they return home. With many direct flights to Turks and Caicos from the U.S., Canada and the UK, and an easy transfer by boat from the mainland, you can be in your private island paradise relatively quickly, making it the perfect warm-weather escape. COMO Parrot Cay introduced new three-bedroom villas this May which can easily accommodate a family or a group of friends of up to six people. Envision these beachfront accommodations as mini private estates with large indoor and outdoor dining spaces, expansive pools and giant kitchens if you want to have a private alfresco dinner. Each villa comes with butler service and is stocked with your favorite bites and drinks. When you do leave your villa, a visit to the wellness center is essential. You can get a great stretch and workout doing one of their yoga or Pilates classes with a magical view of the ocean and of North Caicos. After exercising, treat yourself to one of their Asian-inspired therapies like an indulgent massage to work out any kinks from traveling. The spa space is massive, blooming with flowers, and features a private cottage, meditation hut and pavilion. You can also sweat and get steamy in their sauna, steam room or outdoor jacuzzi. Guests who want to immerse themselves further in wellness and fitness can book COMO Journeys to deepen their experience. From December 27, 2024 to January 16, 2025 Pilates instructor and postural specialist Amy Buck will be teaching “ Improve Your Posture .” During sessions guests will enjoy a mix of Pilates, clinical somatics, neuromechanics and fascia release, as well as learn about their posture in an analysis screening to assess asymmetries in alignment. Improve your posture and movement by experiencing antigravity fitness inspired by yoga, Pilates and calisthenics. This journey will inform your life far longer than just the duration of your COMO Parrot Cay trip. Every time you stand tall you may have a memory flashback to the island. If you can’t make it to this posture-focused journey, from March 1 to May 15, 2025 certified physiotherapist, Kim Kosters, will be teaching guests how to manage and reduce daily pain. “ Living Pain Free with Kim Kosters ” goes through a variety of treatments and therapies like detox drainage therapy, how to destress Vagus-nerve activation, craniosacral therapy and more. This retreat is especially interesting for those with chronic back pain, as there will also be a one-hour workshop to educate guests on back pain causes and how to reduce them in their daily life. With pristine Caribbean waters and abundant marine life, every guest should also partake in some aquatic excursion while on the island, whether that’s snorkeling near the beach or booking a boat trip to explore the surrounding waters. Turks and Caicos is famous for dolphin sightings, with father and son bottlenose dolphins JoJo and Dreamer enjoying somewhat of a celebrity status in the island archipelago. If you’re lucky they’ll follow your boat and put on a show for you. After a day of activity, there are a variety of dining options that await to satiate your palate. At Lotus, enjoy Asian cuisine with tasty dishes like roasted duck bao and grilled halibut “Hanoi style.” The Terrace features an Italian menu and offers a view of the island. It’s the ideal place to cap off your day with a Negroni and Linguine al Pesce. After a few days of restoring wellness sessions, tasty bites and soaking up Caribbean living on a private island, you’d be hard-pressed to not feel relaxed. COMO Parrot Cay is the ultimate place to unplug and feel refreshed after spending some time in this picture-perfect private island landscape.NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — Javon Small scored five of his 31 points in overtime and Tucker DeVries added key free throws late in regulation and finished with 16 points as West Virginia beat No. 3 Gonzaga 86-78 in the Battle 4 Atlantis on Wednesday. Small's layup with under 2 minutes left in OT gave West Virginia a 79-75 lead. After a Gonzaga miss, Sencire Harris hit two free throws to make it a six-point lead. With 27.1 seconds left, Harris made a steal and scored on a dunk for an eight-point lead, putting the game out of reach. Amani Hansberry scored a career-high 19 points and Toby Okani added 10 for West Virginia (3-2). Braden Huff scored 19 points and Khalif Battle 16 for Gonzaga (5-1). Gonzaga showed its depth, outscoring the West Virginia bench 30-2. West Virginia’s only loss was by 24 points at Pitt, but the rebuild under Darian DeVries is showing promise. Gonzaga turned it over at midcourt late in regulation when Tucker DeVries poked it away from Nolan Hickman and raced the other way before getting fouled. DeVries made two free throws with 5.9 seconds left to tie it at 71-all. Battle inbounded the ball and got it back, but lost control on a drive as time expired. The shorter Mountaineers outrebounded Gonzaga 42-36 and shot 50% in the second half, battling the Zags to a draw in the paint. Nembhard had 12 assists and just one turnover in 43 minutes, but was 1 of 10 from the field. West Virginia will play Louisville on Thursday in the winner's bracket. Gonzaga faces No. 14 Indiana on the consolation side. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .
