Fox Sports Update. It's been a wild coaching cycle in men's college basketball, but one power conference coach isn't jumping ship. Chris Beard has informed Ole Miss he is staying at the school after discussions with Texas A&M regarding its head coaching vacancy that according to multiple reports, the Aggies are without a coach after Buzz Williams took the Maryland job earlier this week. Beard
Pierre just wrapped up his second season at Ole Miss, where he took his Rebels to the NCAA tournament and advanced to the Sweet 16. I was never really a runner. The way I see running is a gift, especially when you have stage four cancer. I'm Anne. I'm running the Boston Marathon, presented by Bank of America. I run for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to give people like me a chance to thrive in life, even with cancer.

Heading over to the Diamond, look out for the Padres. San Diego has kicked off the 2025 campaign 7-0 for the first time in their 57-season history, beating the Guardians 5-2 today. Center fielder Jackson Merrill celebrated his new nine-year $135 million contract by launching a two-run home run in the third inning. As he drives this one to right field, back goes Jones, look it up, the ball's gone! Jackson Merrill in his new extension has just left the yard!
That was courtesy of the Padres. San Diego's previous best start to a season was in 1984 when they went 4-0, later going to their first World Series. Staying in baseball, Paul Skeens is looking to build on an outstanding rookie season, and the right-handed flamethrower earned his first win of the year today. Skeens, the reigning National League Rookie of the Year, went seven innings, striking out six without a walk and allowing one unearned run as the Pirates defeated the Rays 4-2.
And in the NBA, it's been a tough season for the Philadelphia 76ers, and it didn't get any better today. Joel Embiid will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee next week. It's the second surgery on the same knee in just over a year. In late February, Embiid was ruled medically unable to play after appearing in just 19 games. The Sixers have been one of the NBA's biggest disappointments after entering the year with championship expectations following the addition of Paul George in the summer.
