C3.ai lifts FY revenue guidance after fiscal Q2 results top estimates
Murdoch loses 'Succession' battle for son's control of media empire: reportLAHAINA, Hawaii — It took until Game No. 9, but we finally got a blowout in the Maui Invitational. No. 5 Iowa State crushed Colorado 99-71 Wednesday in the opening game on the final day of the tournament. That means the Cyclones finish in fifth place in the bracket. TJ Otzelberger's team flies back home across the Pacific after going 2-1 on the island and is 5-1 overall. Their wins over Dayton and Colorado are TBD in terms of value, but a 28-point victory vs. the Buffaloes should boost them heading into next week. They'll need it. ISU's next game is Dec. 4 at home against No. 10 Marquette . Cyclones sophomore Milan Momcilovic had a game-high 24 points, while Curtis Jones added 15, Keshon Gilbert 14 and three other players had 10. Otzelberger took the Iowa State job in 2021 but Wednesday marked only the second time the Cyclones scored more than 90 points against a high-major opponent. (The other one was also 99, but vs. DePaul , so it barely qualifies, really.) The Clones, for the first time under Otzelberger, could have a top-level offense. "We have a team that it's really difficult to prepare for because we're going to end up with five, six guys in double figures that any night, one of them could be the guy," Otzelberger said. "We're trying to play more in transition. We're trying to play with more pace." To think: ISU flirted with losing to Dayton and would've had to play UConn for seventh place in the last game of the tournament if it didn't win Tuesday. That's a wild swing. I had the Cyclones outside of the top 20 heading into the season, which was a contrarian take and, I think it's fair to say now, almost certainly the wrong one. For the Buffs, if I'd have given Colorado coach Tad Boyle the option of taking 1-2 or chancing going 0-3 in Maui, I think he'd have taken 1-2, especially with a win over UConn. "We went from the outhouse to the penthouse back to the outhouse in three days," Boyle said. The Buffs had to replace their top five scorers and are a wait-and-see when it comes to their Big 12 viability. I like what they have in shooting guard Julian Hammond, 6-foot-10 post man (and NAIA transfer) Elijah Malone and 6-8 wing Andrej Jakimovski . Given this was Colorado's third game in three days, it's all but a guarantee the next time these teams play it won't be nearly the blowout. ISU travels to play Colorado in Big 12 play in just over a month, on Dec. 30. "I told myself before the season started I have to have patience with this group," Boyle said. "It's not in my nature, but it's where we are right now." And at least we have this video of Boyle water sliding. I never found a water slide during my time out here in Maui, and that's on me. celebrate Maui style 🛝 #GoBuffs pic.twitter.com/NspRguwlgb Let's tour the Lahaina Civic Center Over the decades, as I've watched this amazing tournament on TV, I've always wondered what it felt like and what the confines were around the hallowed Lahaina Civic Center. So I took it upon myself to shoot a couple of videos and bring you in. Until you see it, you don't quite realize just how cozy this place is. A perspective you don’t really get from watching on TV: Here’s how cozy the Lahaina Civic Center is. pic.twitter.com/1fkt802WDf As for the locker rooms, well, there's nothing like this in sports. You've gotta see this most humble of pregame prep spaces. It doesn't get more bare-bones than this. Ah, Maui. Big games in a small gym. Only college basketball provides something this wholesome.

Cracks emerge in Trump's MAGA coalitionNoneWycombe Wanderers will be looking to preserve their status at the top of the League One table when they travel to LNER Stadium to face Lincoln City on Saturday afternoon. The two teams do battle for the first time since January when they shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at Adams Park. © Imago Since suffering back-to-back defeats against Birmingham City and Crawley Town in mid-October, Lincoln have put together a six-game unbeaten run in all competitions, with eight points accumulated across their last four League One fixtures. Successive 2-1 home wins over Stockport County and Northampton Town were followed by consecutive away draws with Bristol Rovers and Exeter City, playing out a goalless stalemate with the latter last weekend. Michael Skubala 's side have picked up the same number of points on home soil as they have on the road (13 each) this term, and they currently sit sixth in the third-tier standings - occupying the final playoff spot - six points adrift of Saturday's opponents Wycombe, who also have a game in hand. Before facing third-placed Wrexham next Tuesday, Lincoln will focus on their encounter with a Wycombe outfit whom they have not lost against in their last five meetings, drawing three and winning two, including a 3-0 success in this exact fixture back in August of last season. The Imps will likely rely on their set-piece specialities to find the net this weekend, as they have scored more goals from dead-ball situations (excluding penalties) than any other side in League One so far this season (10), with five of their last nine league goals coming from such situations. © Imago Few would have envisaged Wycombe mounting a serious title challenge in League One at the start of the season, especially after they lost their opening two matches against Wrexham and title favourites Birmingham. However, the Chairboys have since picked up an impressive 32 points from a possible 36 available across their last 12 league games, winning each of their last six matches by an aggregate score of 16-3. No team in League One have won more away games (five) or collected more away points (17) than Wycombe (17) thus far, with Matt Bloomfield 's side most recently following up a thumping 5-0 win at Stockport with a slender 1-0 success at Wigan Athletic a fortnight ago. Wycombe were most recently in action on November 12 when they beat Crawley Town 2-1 at Adams Park in the EFL Trophy, a result that has secured top spot in Group J and a place in Friday's last-32 draw. The Chairboys will now turn their attention to Saturday's league fixture with Lincoln, whom they have failed to beat in each of their last four away league games, while they have won just one of their last eight such visits to LNER Stadium (D3 L4), failing to score in six of those games. © Imago Lincoln captain Paudie O'Connor , who was forced off at half time in the draw with Exeter with a dead leg, is yet to take part in training this week and is "touch-and-go" for Saturday's match, according to Skubala. Adam Jackson , Tom Hamer and Tom Bayliss all remains sidelined with long-term injuries, though, while Ethan Erhahon will have his fitness assessed after playing for 45 minutes last weekend following his recovery from injury. Bailey Cadamarteri is Lincoln's top scorer so far this season with five goals, and he is set to be joined in attack by target man Ben House , who has found the net just once in his last eight league games. As for Wycombe, they currently have a clean bill of health and Bloomfield is expected to recall a number of first-team stars who were rested for the EFL Trophy win over Crawley last time out. Franco Ravizzoli is set to be recalled between the sticks, while Jack Grimmer could be joined in a four-man defence by Joe Low , Caleb Taylor and Daniel Harvie . Josh Scowen and Aaron Morley are expected to link arms in centre-midfield, while top scorer Richard Kone - who has eight goals to his name - could be joined in attack by Fred Onyedinma , Cameron Humphreys and Daniel Udoh . Lincoln City possible starting lineup: Wickens; Montsma, O'Connor, Roughan; Darikwa, McGrandles, Moylan, Hamilton, Jefferies; Cadamarteri, House Wycombe Wanderers possible starting lineup: Ravizzoli; Grimmer, Low, Taylor, Harvie; Morley, Scowen; Onyedinma, Humphreys, Udoh; Kone Wycombe may have struggled in recent visits to Lincoln, but they travel to LNER Stadium in buoyant mood this weekend and in fine form, making them favourites to come out on top in this one. Lincoln will fancy their chances of success as they aim to climb up to third in the table, but we are backing a refreshed Chairboys outfit to claim maximum points from this intriguing contest.
