Barrington Hargress scored 23 points and Sebastian Rancik had 17 as Colorado defeated Arizona State 78-70 in a Big 12 game Saturday in Boulder, Col.

The Buffaloes (14-10, 4-7 Big 12) shot 50.8% from the field (31 of 61) as they outscored the Sun Devils (12-12, 3-8) 42-26 in the paint.

Isaiah Johnson also had 16 for Colorado.

Arizona State was led by Maurice Odum with 23 points and Massamba Diop’s 19 and team-high seven rebounds.

After squandering its seven-point halftime lead and battling back and forth, the Buffaloes reclaimed control with a 7-0 run that gave them a 64-56 lead with 8:48 left.

The Sun Devils were able to cut the deficit to two with a 6-0 run over the ensuing two minutes with Diop finishing a pair of dunks.

Bangot Dak, however, hit a short jumper and Rancik nailed a 3-pointer to give Colorado a seven-point lead with 5:28 left which was never cut to less than three the rest of the way.

The Buffaloes built a 12-point first-half lead by shooting 46.9% from the floor (15 of 32), while the Sun Devils struggled from the floor hitting only 32.3% (10 of 31) of their shots in the first 20 minutes.

The Buffaloes led by 10 midway through the first half after the Sun Devils went over five minutes with a made basket.

Rancik had five points during the stretch with two free throws and a 3-pointer.

Dak finished the run with a rousing dunk down the lane with 7:27 left in the half to make it 26-16 Colorado.

Colorado took a 32-21 lead on back-to-back layups by Dak and Hargress with 5:23 left in the half.

Anthony Johnson scored two of the Sun Devils’ 18 second-chance points on a tip-in with 3:30 left to make it 34-27.

Hargress responded with a jumper and Rancik hit a 3-pointer to give Colorado a 39-27 lead with 1:57 to go.

The Sun Devils were able to get back within single digits in the final two minutes when Odum hit two free throws and Johnson scored on a layup with 33 seconds left to make it 39-31 at the break.

Deadspin | Cubs win 6th straight, send Phillies to 6th consecutive loss  Apr 20, 2026; Chicago, Illinois, USA;  Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson (7) hits a three run home run against the Philadelphia Phillies during the second inning at Wrigley Field. Mandatory Credit: Matt Marton-Imagn Images   Dansby Swanson hit a three-run homer, Colin Rea threw 6 2/3 quality innings and the Chicago Cubs posted a 5-1 victory over the visiting Philadelphia Phillies on Monday.  Rea (3-0) continued an impressive start to the season, allowing just one run on five hits, striking out five and walking two. Alex Bregnan had two hits for the Cubs, who won their sixth in a row.  Aaron Nola (1-2) gave up five runs on six hits across 4 1/3 innings for Philadelphia, striking out five and walking four. Justin Crawford drove in a run for the Phillies, who dropped their sixth straight game.  After a scoreless first, Philadelphia’s Adolis Garcia began the second with a single before Bryson Stott’s single and Crawford’s walk loaded the bases with two outs. Rea escaped the jam, though, striking out Rafael Marchan.  Chicago’s Ian Happ and Moises Ballesteros both singled and Michael Conforto walked to load the bases in the bottom of the second. The Cubs took the lead as Miguel Amaya grounded into a double play.   After Pete Crow-Armstrong’s walk, Swanson clobbered a 424-foot homer — his fifth of the year — to extend Chicago’s lead to 4-0.  The Cubs tacked on in the third. Michael Busch singled and Bregman doubled before Ballesteros’ one-out walk loaded the bases. Conforto’s sacrifice fly pushed the margin to five runs.  Crawford laced an RBI double in the fourth to cut the Phillies’ deficit to 5-1.  Kyle Backhus relieved Nola, who had thrown 88 pitches, in the fifth.  –Field Level Media    #Deadspin #Cubs #win #6th #straight #send #Phillies #6th #consecutive #lossApr 20, 2026; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson (7) hits a three run home run against the Philadelphia Phillies during the second inning at Wrigley Field.

The Delhi High Court has held Hockey India secretary general Bhola Nath Singh guilty of contempt of court for wilfully disobeying its order.

Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav said he would hear the issue of sentence on May 4, but granted Singh liberty to “purge” the contempt by undertaking “such measures as found fit.” The court passed the judgement on April 20 on a contempt plea by Syeed Asima Ali, the elected vice president of Hockey India, who alleged non-compliance with an order passed on January 17, 2025, by the sports body’s officials.

The court stated that as per its directions, Hockey India officials were required to give requisite links to the petitioner to enable her to participate in all executive board meetings but they failed to do so for meetings held on July 4, 2025 and July 27, 2025.

It observed that any purported subsequent events did not excuse the officials from their obligation to provide links to the petitioner, when they had not even sought modification of the direction.

“No endeavour has ever been made to purge the contempt. The minutes of the meeting, links for which were not provided to the petitioner, still stare at the face of the Court’s subsisting directions. There was not even a whisper of an apology, let alone an unconditional apology. Even otherwise, an unconditional apology, unlike the holy water from the Ganges, cannot purify the respondents, specifically Bhola Nath Singh, of his conscious, concerted, deliberate and willful disobedience of the Court’s directions,” the court stated in the judgement.

It held that the manner in which Hockey India and Singh conducted himself through the course of the present proceedings amounted to a clear case of contempt of court.

Stating that non-compliance of court orders by a National Sports Federation, which functions under the aegis of and receives funds from the State, was no less than an administrative sin, the court concluded, “This Court finds the respondents, and specifically Bhola Nath Singh, Secretary General of Hockey India, guilty of committing contempt of Court, by willfully disobeying/not complying with the order dated 17.01.2025”.

The order of January 17, 2025, was passed on a petition by Asima for the removal of Singh from the post of secretary general of Hockey India.

It was alleged that Singh is ineligible to hold any elected office in Hockey India owing to the tenure and age restrictions enumerated in the Sports Code.

As an interim direction, the court asked Hockey India officials to provide the requisite links to the petitioner to enable her to participate in all executive board meetings.
