SOUTH BEND, Ind. –  The No. 18 Fighting Irish picked up right where they left off before the week off for the holidays, rolling past Pitt (7-8, 0-2) in a 94-59 rout to improve to 10-2 on the season and 2-0 in ACC play.  Four players finished in double figures for the Irish, led by Hannah Hidalgo’s 30-point outburst on 13-of-23 shooting from the field to go along with five rebounds, four steals and four assists.

After the visitors cut it to eight, Moore knocked down the final shot of the first to give Notre Dame a 27-17 lead after the opening 10 minutes of play. The trio of Hidalgo, Moore and Cowles combined for

There are so many high points in Duke Basketball history that it’s hard to remember everything and easy to forget stuff. Duke hung a banner in Cameron to commemorate Mike Krzyzewski’s 1,000th win, but do you remember when that happened? Who the opponent was? Where that game was? See what we mean? Advertisement Assuming you don’t remember the details, the game was on January 25th, it was played in New York City and the opponent was St. John’s. And it was a classic Duke game in many ways. Duke had to battle back, overcome adversity and show a lot of heart to prevail. And that’s exactly what Duke did. Trailing by 10 with 8:15 to play, the Blue Devils went on an 18-2 run, ultimately prevailing, 77-68. This game was on a Sunday. On the following Wednesday, Duke would announce that Sulaimon had been kicked off the team. Coach K said this: “Rasheed has been unable to consistently live up to the standards required to be a member of our program. It is a privilege to represent Duke University and with that privilege comes the responsibility to conduct oneself in a certain manner. After Rasheed repeatedly struggled to meet the

CORAL GABLES, Fla.—Four players on the University of Miami women’s basketball team posted double figures in scoring as the Canes rolled past Stetson 77-45 on Sunday afternoon. Miami’s home win concludes their 2025 non-conference slate and puts the Canes on a three-game win streak heading into ACC play. Miami now stands at 9–4 overall and 1–1 in ACC play, while Stetson drops to 7–4 and 0–0 in ASUN. Ahnay Adams set the offensive tone early, scoring Miami’s first four points with back-to-back driving layups. Stetson’s Cameron Thomas answered with three baskets from beyond the arc to give the Hatters the lead for six minutes and 42 seconds. Miami trailed by as many as four before tying the game at 13–13 to end the first quarter. At the start of the second period, Miami capitalized on three Stetson turnovers to take a 20–16 lead, its largest of the game so far (7:12). The Hatters quickly called a timeout to reset, but Miami responded with a 12–2 scoring run to close the half with a 34–23 advantage. Gal Raviv led Miami’s offense with seven points in the second quarter, while Kyle, Adams, and Candace Kpetikou grabbed three rebounds each to lead the

SAN JOSE: "We are bringing it back – this time with trust," reads a new Twitter website, promising to restore the platform once called the "public square" and that has since been rebranded as the "free speech" platform called X. In a December filing with the US Patent and Trademark Office, US start-up Operation Bluebird argues that tech billionaire Elon Musk and his social media platform X have abandoned the Twitter brand and the trademark should be cancelled. However, X Corp is already suing the start-up over its attempt to claim the retired Twitter name and its iconic blue bird logo, saying the start-up is "brazenly attempting to steal the world-famous TWITTER brand." "Bluebird’s plan to 'bring back' and 'reclaim Twitter' fails to account for one major flaw: the TWITTER brand is alive and well, owned by X Corp, and is not ripe for the picking," the legal response from X reads. For now, the Twitter revival website is still active and allowing users to request their old handles, and as of mid-December, the website counted some 146,000 handles requested. However it's unclear if the revival of Twitter is truly what is sought by the two people heading the campaign, two

Like many brands, a lot of artists stopped using the former Twitter in the great X exodus a couple of years ago. Elon Musk's chaotic rebranding of the platform along with a rise in AI bots and a proliferation of conspiracy theories and hate speech caused many to seek Twitter alternatives. Some chose to hang on, but perhaps not for much longer after Elon Musk announced a dubious Christmas present for the X community. The platform has rolled out a controversial new feature that allows users to edit any image on the platform using AI, and artists are understandably furious. All images on X now have an 'edit image' option that can be accessed by clicking on the three dots at the top right of a post or via an icon that appears on images themselves. The option seems to appear across all accounts, including on images of famous IPs from movies, TV and video games. Clicking 'Edit image' brings up a text box in which the users can input a prompt to request changes to the image. The resulting AI slop can then be downloaded or shared on X. The ubiquity of AI image generators means it was already

News Agencias December 26, 2025 Updated: December 26, 2025 at 9:10 AM The X platform has published an annual summary highlighting the most significant interactions and trends of its users during 2025. This report provides a comprehensive overview of user behavior, although it is important to note that this data does not necessarily reflect the average behavior of the global population. Among the most notable findings, 12.4 million posts were recorded about the popular series ‘Stranger Things’, highlighting its cultural impact. Additionally, the Premier League captured users’ attention with nearly 600 million mentions, confirming its relevance in the sports arena. In the music field, Justin Bieber and Stray Kids ranked among the most mentioned artists, with 11.2 million and 45.7 million posts, respectively. https://twitter.com/Stranger_Things/status/2000561484972138922 People are obsessed with emojis on Twitter A curious aspect of the report is the use of emojis, which continue to be a fundamental element in digital communication. The thumbs up, the fire emoji, and the rocket led the most popular emoji usage, with 1 billion, 2.4 billion, and 1.4 billion posts, respectively. This demonstrates how users express their emotions and interactions through these visual icons. X has taken advantage of its Global Trending feature to

Jordan Addison took a jet sweep handoff 65 yards for the game-sealing touchdown with 3:43 left as the Minnesota Vikings forced six turnovers and eliminated the Detroit Lions from playoff contention with a 23-10 victory on Christmas Day. Harrison Smith, the 14th-year veteran safety, had one of the two interceptions and one of the five sacks of Jared Goff as the Vikings (8-8) won their fourth straight game. Goff was charged with three lost fumbles, once on a sack and twice on errant snaps by backup center Kingsley Eguakun. With the third straight loss for the Lions (8-8), the Green Bay Packers clinched at least a wild-card spot and could still catch the Chicago Bears for the NFC North title that went to Detroit the past two seasons and Minnesota the year before that. The Lions and Vikings combined for 29 wins last season, making this an attractive matchup for the NFL's three-game Christmas Day showcase before injuries and other assorted setbacks took them out of the race.
