Vanderbilt's Hail Mary shot misses by narrowest of margins as Nebraska advances to Sweet 16 in epic fashion
No. 5 Vanderbilt was a mere inch away from maybe the most historic shot in program history until the ball did everything but drop.
Tyler Tanner's beyond-half-court heave to send the Commodores to the Sweet 16 went in-and-out to give No. 4 Nebraska a 74-72 win and advance to the Sweet 16.
Nebraska entered the half with a 39-32 lead and led by as many as 10 at one point, but Vanderbilt rallied back to lead by five with 5:34 to go.

The Cornhuskers then answered back with a 6-0 run to retake the lead, but Vanderbilt led 72-70 with less than a minute to go after a Tanner layup, which gave him 27 points on the night.
Those, however, were Tanner's and Vanderbilt's final points of the game. Rienk Mast tied the game with a putback with 37 seconds left, and Vanderbilt's Chandler Bing missed a shot to take a late lead.
Nebraska then ran down the court, and Pryce Sandfort found Braden Frager, who made a contested layup to take the lead with 2.2 seconds left.
VILLANOVA COACH TURNS HEADS AFTER 'JOKE' THAT HE WOULD 'FIRE MY STAFF' DURING MARCH MADNESS LOSS
Vanderbilt called a timeout, and the inbound went to the red-hot Tanner, who clearly had the groove of his shot. He pulled up from half-court, but the shot was a striking image of Gordon Hayward's from the 2010 national title game against Duke – off the backboard, then the rim, then out.
Quite literally everybody, even the heavy-Nebraska crowd in Oklahoma City, was in disbelief, but the party was on for the red after shock and relief quickly turned into celebration.
It's Nebraska's first time ever making the Sweet 16 after eight prior appearances without getting there. In fact, this year is the first time they even won a game in the tournament.
Four Cornhuskers finished in double-digits, with Sandfort and Frager each putting up 15. Nebraska will face the winner of No. 1 Florida and No. 9 Iowa.

Man found not guilty by reason of insanity in killing of pregnant Seattle woman, unborn child
The man charged in a 2023 shooting that killed a pregnant Seattle woman and her unborn baby has been found not guilty by reason of insanity.
Cordell Goosby was charged with first-degree murder and first-degree attempted murder in the death of 34-year-old Eina Kwon and the shooting of her husband, Sung Kwon, who was also injured.
Eina Kwon and her husband were on their way to work at their Japanese restaurant, Aburiya Bento House, on June 13, 2023, when they stopped at a red light at an intersection around 11:15 a.m.
Goosby allegedly sprinted toward the driver’s side window of their white Tesla with a gun raised.
EX-KENTUCKY SHERIFF ADMITS TO SHOOTING JUDGE BUT CLAIMS HE 'HAD NO CONTROL' OVER ACTIONS: REPORT
"In a short span of time, he fired a gun in the victim’s car window, striking the victims inside the car. After firing all the bullets he had in the gun into the victims’ car, he turned and ran from the scene," prosecutors wrote in court papers, noting that Goosby got rid of the weapon. "The defendant’s actions left a family and community shattered."
Officers later located Goosby, who put his hands in the air and said, "I did it! I did it!" according to court documents.
Then-Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell described the broad daylight shooting as an "unimaginable tragedy."
Goosby was prohibited from owning a firearm due to his criminal record in Illinois. He allegedly used a stolen gun during the shooting, officials said.
Fox 13 reported that the King County court system said a not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity ruling means Goosby "admits that he committed the crimes and agrees to commitment in a state psychiatric hospital."
Experts for both the defense and prosecution evaluated Goosby and determined he was legally insane at the time of the shooting, leading the court to permit the plea, the outlet reported.
Goosby’s future release would depend on approval from multiple state and court entities, the station added.
Woman claims space rock smashed into house after Houston-area blast rattles residents
Hours after a mysterious boom rattled homes across the Houston area, a woman claimed a suspected meteorite crashed through her roof — leaving behind a gaping hole and a football-sized rock.
Locals took to social media in a panic Saturday afternoon after hearing what they said sounded like a large blast in the Houston area.
The Brenham Fire Department confirmed it was dispatched to reports of a possible explosion near Highway 50, though units on scene did not find anything.
The department said that several witnesses saw a "green flash fall from the sky, black smoke, and heard a loud ‘boom.’"
UNEXPLAINED LOUD BANGS PERPLEX NEIGHBORS NEAR HOMES OF ALLEGED NYC TERROR PLOT SUSPECTS
Fire officials noted other sources claimed the noise could have been caused by a "possible meteor."
Sherrie James, who contacted affiliate FOX 26 and the Ponderosa Fire Department after the blast, said an "unusual rock" crashed through her roof, leaving a large hole in the ceiling and in her flooring.
Photos provided by James showed a football-sized black rock that appeared to be broken off a larger chunk of material.
MYSTERIOUS HUM RATTLES AMERICAN CITY AS RESIDENTS REPORT SLEEPLESS NIGHTS AND RISING FEAR
Since there was no construction or trees nearby, the fire department told FOX 26 the rock was likely a part of the alleged meteor that was heard around Houston.
The American Meteor Society documented what it is calling a "fireball event" over Texas on Saturday, after receiving more than 100 reports.
Observers reported the event lasted anywhere between 1.5 seconds and 7.5 seconds, though it has not yet been validated by experts.
No other reports of damages were confirmed.

Trump gives Iran 48-hour ultimatum to reopen Strait of Hormuz or face strikes on power plants
President Donald Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran on Saturday, warning the U.S. would strike its power plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened.
"If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!" Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
The president's threat represents a notable escalation in rhetoric as tensions surge over the strategically vital waterway.
Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a global choke point for oil and gas transport that supplies roughly one-fifth of the world’s crude oil, has been largely limited since early March, shortly after the war with Iran began.
US SIGNALS READINESS TO ESCORT TANKERS THROUGH HORMUZ AS TRAFFIC THINS BUT NO MISSION LAUNCHED
Trump's post comes after he told reporters Friday that reopening the strait was a "simple military maneuver."
"It's relatively safe, but you need a lot of help in the sense of you need ships, you need volume," he said.
The president added that NATO hasn't had the "courage" to assist the U.S. with reopening the waterway.
TRUMP SAYS US ‘OBLITERATED’ TARGETS IN STRIKE ON KEY IRANIAN OIL HUB
"NATO could help us, but they so far haven't had the courage to do so, and others could help us," Trump said. "But, you know, we don't use it. You know, at a certain point, it'll reopen itself."
Earlier Friday, Trump ripped NATO on Truth Social as "cowards," saying they "complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don’t want to help open the Strait of Hormuz."
A growing group of countries has signed onto a joint statement signaling their "readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage" through the strait.
The joint statement said, "We express our readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait," and, "We welcome the commitment of nations who are engaging in preparatory planning."
The statement was attributed to leaders from more than 20 countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Canada and the United Arab Emirates.
"We condemn in the strongest terms recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf, attacks on civilian infrastructure including oil and gas installations, and the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces," the statement reads.
NATO HEAVYWEIGHTS BALK AT HORMUZ MISSION AS TRUMP WARNS ALLIANCE AT RISK
"We express our deep concern about the escalating conflict. We call on Iran to cease immediately its threats, laying of mines, drone and missile attacks and other attempts to block the Strait to commercial shipping, and to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 2817," the statement continued.
Earlier this week, U.S. forces struck Iran’s anti-ship missile sites near the Strait of Hormuz with 5,000-pound bunker-buster bombs, according to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).

Venezuelan migrant arrested after Loyola Chicago student fatally shot near campus
A 25-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the death of a Loyola University Chicago student shot near campus Thursday by a masked gunman, the Chicago Tribune reported.
The Tribune said it had obtained the arrest report and was not naming the suspect, who sources tell Fox News is a migrant from Venezuela.
Sheridan Gorman, 18, of Westchester County, New York, was gunned down while taking a walk with friends shortly after 1:30 a.m. Thursday along Chicago's lakefront.
The gunman allegedly approached the group, pulled out a gun, and opened fire — striking Gorman in the head, according to the Chicago Police Department. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
No other injuries were reported, according to police.
Records obtained by the Tribune state the suspect was identified minutes after the shooting due to his "distinct limp."
Police have not yet confirmed if the man has been charged in relation to the Gorman investigation.
DISPATCH RECORDS FROM BROWN UNIVERSITY SHOOTING CAPTURE CHAOS OF DEADLY CAMPUS ATTACK
In a letter sent to students Thursday, Loyola University Chicago President Mark C. Reed confirmed Gorman’s death while addressing the campus community.
"It is with profound sadness that I write to share that one of our students, Sheridan Gorman, was killed earlier today," Reed said. "This is a tragic loss, and our hearts go out to Sheridan’s family, loved ones, and all who knew her."

Dead passenger allegedly stored in heated galley for 13 hours on British Airways flight, 'foul smell' reported
Air travelers are reacting with shock after a dead passenger’s body was reportedly stored in a heated galley for more than 13 hours on a long-haul flight, according to reports.
A woman in her 60s died about an hour after takeoff on British Airways Flight BA32 from Hong Kong to London last Sunday, but the pilots continued on to Heathrow Airport instead of turning back, The Sun reported.
A source told the outlet that the Airbus A350-1000’s galley had a heated floor, and by the end of the flight "there were claims that a foul smell was present" in that area.
SOUTHWEST FLIGHT DIVERTED AFTER PASSENGER SCARE AS SECURITY INCIDENTS RATTLE US AIRPORTS
"Obviously, the family with the woman were distraught, and so were the crew," the source said. "Many wanted to return to Hong Kong. But, to put it bluntly, if a passenger has already died, that is not viewed as an emergency."
British Airways told Fox News Digital that its crew followed all procedures.
"A customer sadly passed away on board and our thoughts are with their family and friends at this difficult time," the airline said. "We are supporting our crew and all procedures were correctly followed."
FEDS INVESTIGATE ALARMING NEAR MISS BETWEEN ALASKA AIRLINES JET, FEDEX PLANE AT BUSY NEWARK AIRPORT
A source told The Sun that a discussion took place about what to do with the body, with the crew rejecting a request from the flight deck to lock it in the plane’s bathroom.
"So they had to isolate the body, wrap it in materials, and move it to a galley at the rear of the plane," the source said, adding that the area had a heated floor.
The outlet said that once the plane landed last Sunday, police asked the 331 passengers on board to stay in their seats for roughly 45 minutes while they investigated the onboard death.
British Airways did not receive a formal complaint regarding the incident, but The Sun reported that some passengers took time off work to recover from the ordeal.

It is unclear what led to the alleged collapse.
The state fire marshal's office assumed lead of the investigation, which remains active and ongoing.
The Carroll County Sheriff's Office, New Hampshire State Police, Tamworth Fire Department, Tamworth Police Department and Maine Health did not immediately respond to additional inquiries from Fox News Digital.
City Moose Catering, a company that said it has worked at the venue, said it was "truly shaken by th[e] tragedy."
"Our thoughts are with everyone who was on-site at The Preserve at Chocorua for today’s event," the company wrote in a Facebook post. "We are deeply saddened by the news of the floor collapse and the ongoing mass casualty incident. … We remain mindful of the first responders still working at the scene and all those affected."
The Preserve at Chocorua did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Giants' Cam Skattebo issues apology for 'lapse in judgment' after downplaying CTE, asthma
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo apologized for a "lapse in judgment" after he said CTE was not real and asthma was "fake."
Skattebo appeared on the "Bring the Juice" podcast when he was asked if CTE was "a real thing," and he replied that it was "an excuse."
He also implored "soft" asthmatics to "just breathe air."
"I recently did an interview and had a lapse in judgment, which resulted in me making a tasteless joke about CTE and asthma. It was never my intention to downplay the seriousness of head injuries or asthma," Skattebo wrote on his Instagram story Saturday after the clip began to go viral.

"I sincerely apologize to anyone that was offended by my remarks, and I assure you that I’ll be more mindful and respectful going forward. MUCH LOVE!!!"
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive, degenerative brain disease linked to repeated head impacts rather than a single injury, according to the Mayo Clinic. More than 100 former NFL players have been posthumously diagnosed with CTE, according to a University of Utah study published in the Journal of Neurotrauma.
The running back became an instant fan favorite last season, scoring seven touchdowns in as many games while showing off his bulldozing abilities before a gruesome ankle injury cut his season short.
Skattebo's quarterback, Jaxson Dart, was checked for concussions at least five times throughout the season and even missed two games after being diagnosed with one. Skattebo was once fined for entering the medical tent while Dart was being evaluated.
The Giants hired John Harbaugh in the offseason after he was let go by the Baltimore Ravens after 18 seasons with them. New York fired Brian Daboll, who was named the NFL Coach of the Year in his first year with Big Blue, during the season.

Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn never married, deciding 43 years ago to 'have fun until we don't'
Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn have been having fun together for 43 years.
In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, the 75-year-old actor spoke about the early days of his relationship with Hawn after they met for the first time in 1967, on set of "The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band" when he was 15 years old and "she was a 21-year-old dancer."
"Goldie and I met again in 1983, while working on the film 'Swing Shift,'" he said. "By then, both of us had been through divorces, and she had two small kids—Oliver and Kate—and I had one, Boston. We hit it off and agreed, 'Let's have fun until we don't.' It's been 43 years."
Despite never getting married, the two have blended their families and have built a life together over the last four decades, raising their children together and welcoming their son Wyatt together in July 1986.
KATE AND OLIVER HUDSON TELL RAHM EMANUEL HOW THEIR FAMILY HANDLES POLITICAL DIFFERENCES
Nowadays, Russell says he and Hawn "split our time between homes in L.A., Palm Desert, California, Old Snowmass, Colorado, and New York," with Russell saying his favorite is the one in Old Snowmass.
"It's a large, beautiful log-cabin lodge on a ranch that we moved into a little over 40 years ago," Russell said. "Goldie and I share a passion for log homes. I never got that out of my system, starting with the one in Maine."
Hawn spoke about their decision not to get married in September 2007, telling Women's Day the two of them "have done just perfectly without marrying."
She added, "I already feel devoted," and that so long as her "emotional state is in a state of devotion, honesty, caring and loving," the two of them are doing "fine."

"We both have independent finances, we’re both independently well-off," she said, "We have raised our children brilliantly; they are beautiful people. We did a great job there and we didn’t have to get married to do that. I like waking up every day and seeing that he is there and knowing that I have a choice. There is really no reason to marry."
Kate and Oliver Hudson were around three and five years old respectively when Russell came into their lives, and the two of them have been open about looking to him as their father figure, revealing they call him "Pa."
During a November 2024 episode of their podcast, "Sibling Revelry," Oliver recognized Russell as the man who "raised me," adding, "I'm the man I am today because of him."
"There was a moment when he asked us, myself and Kate, if we wanted to be adopted, and we said no. Not that we were, you know, very aware of probably what it even f---ing meant. … We just said, 'Well, we don't need it. The love is right there.'"

"At the same time, when you don't have your biological [father] around, it's hard to replace that, no matter what. The love was there with Kurt, no doubt about it. He is my dad. I call him Pa. But there was always, not something missing, but it was always sort of like, ‘Wow, but there’s that other side.'"
During the episode, Oliver also acknowledged that he had at that point developed a good relationship with his biological father, Bill Hudson, saying "it took a long, long, long, long time."
