Katie Taylor beats Amanda Serrano again in another slugfest with a disputed decision

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Katie Taylor retained her unanimous super lightweight championship with another disputed decision over Amanda Serrano in a slugfest remarkably similar to the original two years ago. Taylor was scored a 95-94 winner by all three judges. The result drew boos from the crowd at the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys before the co-main event of Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. Taylor remained the undisputed champion and in the super lightweight and lightweight divisions. Serrano kept punching despite getting a nasty cut over her left eye in the sixth round.

UConn’s Geno Auriemma ties NCAA Division I record with 1,216th win as No. 2 Huskies top No. 14 UNC

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — UConn coach Geno Auriemma tied the NCAA Division I record for men’s or women’s basketball with his 1,216th career victory Friday night as his No. 2 Huskies beat No. 14 North Carolina 69-58. The 70-year-old Auriemma is in his 40th season at UConn. He matched Stanford’s Tara VanDerveer, who retired after after last season. Auriemma can break the record Wednesday, when UConn hosts Fairleigh Dickinson. His record with the Huskies is 1,216-162, good for an 88.2% win percentage to go with 11 NCAA championships — most recently in 2016. Mike Krzyzewski holds the men’s record with 1,202 victories at Army and Duke.

NBA considering going to a tournament format for the All-Star Game, AP sources say

The NBA is considering going to a tournament-style event for the All-Star Game, similar to what has been used in the Rising Stars competition in recent years. That’s according to two people with knowledge of the plan. They spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Friday because because no changes have been finalized. The idea centers around the 24 All-Star selections being split into three teams of eight players, with the fourth team likely to be the winner of the Rising Stars competition that will be held earlier that weekend. This season’s All-Star weekend will be held in San Francisco in February.

No. 13 Purdue rediscovers strong post presence in 87-78 win over No. 2 Alabama

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — When Purdue lost All-America center Zach Edey to the NBA after he swept the past two national player of the year awards, some wondered how the Boilermakers would replace him. Purdue’s plan post-Edey doesn’t appear to have changed much. It still centers around a hefty dose of getting the ball into the paint — as Alabama coach Nate Oats learned again the hard way Friday night. Junior forward Trey Kaufman-Renn made 12 of 23 shots, scored a career-high 26 points and grabbed eight rebounds as No. 13 Purdue handed No. 2 Alabama an 87-78 defeat that was eerily reminiscent of last season’s 92-86 loss to the Boilermakers in Toronto.

Bills’ new stadium costs balloon to $2.1 billion, $560 million over initial estimate, team tells AP

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The projected cost of the Buffalo Bills’ new stadium has ballooned to what team officials told The Associated Press is “north of $2.1 billion.” Owners Terry and Kim Pegula are responsible for picking up the more than $560 million in overruns. Bills president Pete Guelli was not surprised by the amount, given how the numbers have been tracking up since construction began 16 months ago. Guelli says the projected total represents the commitment the Pegulas have to the community. He says they are sticking to their vision for the facility without cutting corners to reduce costs.

Nuggets star Nikola Jokic and coach Michael Malone miss game against Pelicans for personal reasons

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Denver Nuggets were without star center Nikola Jokic and coach Michael Malone for their NBA Cup opener Friday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Jokic missed Denver’s 101-94 loss for personal reasons. Malone stayed behind to watch daughter Bridget compete in a high school volleyball playoff match. Nuggets lead assistant David Adelman took over for Malone and said the most difficult challenge of stepping in was that “Nikola is not here.” Adelman said he did not know how long Jokic — who has had four consecutive triple-doubles — will be out.
