Both Waller, former chief

State of the Nation
The Russians
didn’t need Trump
In between the Confederate
monument and the tiki torch pa-
rade, there’s a party goin’ on.
And there are fine people on
both sides. The bikers and the
military and the cops are there,
counting the days toward the
pension, or toward selling crystal
meth, depending on the uniform
worn.
The reason?
No Russian collusion! No Rus-
sian collusion! Pump your pudgy Marc Dion
fist in the air and chant along with
the old guys in the green golf
pants, and the young guys in the camouflage pants who have
never been in a fight.
No Russian collusion!
President Donald Trump’s so innocent, he could be the
gentlest of children attending a rat-infested all-black Detroit
grade school. He’s as innocent as Stormy Daniels was before
she found out she could sell what she’d been giving away.
That obstruction of justice stuff is nothing, just a toy for
the lawyers. The point is that a recent two-year investigation
found Trump innocent of having colluded with the Russians
to win the last election. The right-wingers are right to say
that news stories damn near drooled over the idea of Trump
getting found between the sheets with Boris and Natasha.
Having previously dropped the ball by giving Trump no
chance to win, the white, suburban, college-educated mostly
men who run the media once again missed the point, which
is that you can’t cheer a verdict until there IS a verdict.
Where the hell are their editors?
While we wait for the media to stop packing itself with
MORE people who all think alike, I’ll explain to you why the
Russians didn’t collude with Trump.
They didn’t have to, and, anyway, I don’t think they be-
lieved he was stable enough to be a double agent.
They took a look at this real estate developer turned
politician, and they were damn sure they wanted him to win,
but after a couple of approaches, they realized Trump and
his merry crew of amateurs would be the worst asset they
ever bought.
So, they bypassed the candidate, and went after the
voters.
Tirelessly, soundlessly, anonymously, through the
mouths of a thousand moles and fake news sites, Russian
operatives pumped the American voter full of news-like
crap about the threat of transgender people peeing in the
Walmart bathroom, and black helicopters coming for your
guns and Obama’s fake birth certificate, and a bunch of
other swill our own press thought would NEVER fool Amer-
icans.
The Russians knew better. They’d been watching our
sports-infused, celebrity-drenched, jump-to-conclusions,
racist culture for some time, and they knew us. They knew
that the love of the 1960s had busted out on drugs, and they
knew we were ready for some hate.
So they fed us fake Facebook postings about bacon be-
coming illegal in Dearborn, Michigan, because a lot of Mus-
lims live there, and they fed us stories about black “welfare
queens” so old that doltish Ronald Reagan had used them to
win an election.
The left Trump to pose and swagger and preen, while
they went to work running the real campaign, the campaign
he and his people were too stupid to run.
Like all advertising, it was relentless and stupid and
repetitive, and tremendously effective.
The Russians didn’t collude with Trump. They won an
election for him without his help, and he still doesn’t know it.

State of the nation
Mueller did the right thing
It seems that “13
hardened Democrats” or
“angry Democrats” did
not deliver a politically
motivated, illegitimate
hit job after all. Based on
what we know so far, the
special counsel’s office
reported that it did not
find evidence of collusion
between the Trump cam-
paign and the Russian
government. This is a Mona Charen
fabulous vindication
of the integrity of the
system.
No one is noticing that. Instead, the Trump team
is gorging on schadenfreude, and the anti-Trump
team is choking on bile.
It’s fair to say that those who spent hour upon
cable TV hour lovingly anticipating that President
Donald Trump would be frog-marched from the
White House in handcuffs after the delivery of this
report have egg on their faces. It isn’t clear which
hurts more, the disappointment about being wrong
or the worry about drooping ratings.
But there’s plenty of egg to go around. Team
Trump spent nearly two years denouncing the
Mueller investigation as a “rigged witch hunt.”
By one count, the president used the term “witch
hunt” more than 1,100 times. He mercilessly
eviscerated his own attorney general, Jeff Ses-
sions, for the sin of following Justice Department
guidelines instead of corruptly abusing his office to
shield Trump from scrutiny. At various times, the
president has also suggested that the inquiry was
a sinister plot of the “deep state;” a ploy by support-
ers of “crooked” Hillary Clinton to extract revenge
(while also suggesting that the real collusion was
between Democrats and the Russians); or an “ille-
gal hoax” perpetrated by the “fake news” media.
Trump claimed that the Mueller probe was staffed
by “very bad and conflicted people,” and that the
investigation was a “disgrace to our nation.”
The battle space was thus prepared for a Muel-
ler report that would be devastating to the presi-
dent. His supporters wouldn’t believe anything that

reflected badly on Trump because the investiga-
tion itself, along with the law enforcement bodies
tasked with carrying out their responsibilities in an
impartial fashion, had been discredited.
Yet, when it turned out that the investigators
did not invent or plant evidence, did not default to
process crimes like lying to investigators, did not
spring a perjury trap, and, above all, did not permit
their own feelings or political preferences to taint
the administration of justice, there has been no
embarrassment from team Trump. On a dime, they
have reversed themselves completely. A totally
corrupt witch hunt has become a total vindication.
(It wasn’t that. Even Attorney General William
Barr’s letter acknowledged that the report did not
“exonerate” the president on the charge of obstruc-
tion of justice.) But even if it had been a clean bill
of health, how can they trust the Mueller people?
Weren’t they thoroughly corrupt? A disgrace?
Trump has a long history of impugning anyone
or anything he perceives as a threat to his own
interests and flattering anyone he thinks can help
him. When he feared he would lose an election,
he denounced the voting as “rigged.” Judge Curiel
became a “Mexican” judge when Trump feared he
might rule against him in the Trump University
case. Gold star parents, deceased heroic senators,
Charles Krauthammer, S.E. Cupp, Jeff Bezos and
an endless list of others have joined the ranks of
the slighted. On the other hand, if you repent and
join the Trump fan club — as pretty much the
entire invertebrate Republican Party has done —
then you are swiftly forgiven and elevated. Lindsey
Graham went from a “nasty” and “dumb mouth-
piece” to a favorite golfing buddy in a trice.
This transparently solipsistic approach to the
world would be of little interest if it were just
a quirk of a New York businessman. But when
Trump employs the tactic to undermine confidence
in institutions like the justice system, he does
lasting damage.
The “witch hunt” was nothing of the kind.
Honorable people did the right thing. Politics did
not taint a criminal investigation. But that reality is
buried under an avalanche of bad faith.

‘The issue of migration will never be mobile and the king in a

resolved by raising barriers ...’
By NICOLE WINFIELD
and AMIR A EL MASAITI
The Associated Press
R ABAT, Morocco —
Pope Francis praised
Morocco as a model of
religious moderation and
migrant welcome as he
kicked off a trip to the
kingdom Saturday, warn-
ing that border walls and
fear-mongering won’t
stop people from exercis-
ing their rights to seek a
better life elsewhere.
King Mohamed VI
welcomed Francis as he
arrived during an unusu-
al rainstorm and began
a visit aimed at boosting
Christian-Muslim ties
and showing solidarity
with Morocco’s growing
migrant community.
Morocco last year be-
came the main destina-
tion for sub-Saharan Afri-
can migrants seeking to
reach Europe via Spain.
The influx has strained
the kingdom’s resources
and fueled anti-migrant
sentiment in Spain ahead
of the European Union
nation’s April 28 general
election.
Francis met with some
of Morocco’s newest ar-
rivals and assured them:
“You are not the margin-
alized. You are at the cen-
ter of the church’s heart.”
After an airport greet-
ing, the king and pope
took separate vehicles
— Francis in his pope-
Mercedes with a retract-
ed roof — and paraded
in tandem into town for a
formal welcome ceremo-
ny at the complex where
two of Morocco’s former
monarchs are buried.
Women ululated as Fran-
cis and the king walked
along the promenade of
the Hassan Tower com-
plex under umbrellas.
Francis told the king
that he hoped Morocco
would continue to be a
model of humanity, wel-
come and protection for
migrants.
“The issue of migra-
tion will never be resolved
by raising barriers, fo-
menting fear of others
or denying assistance to
those who legitimately
aspire to a better life for
themselves and their fam-
ilies,” Francis said.
Later Saturday, Fran-
cis repeated the senti-
ment during an encoun-
ter with migrants from
Nigeria, Guinea, Camer-
oon and other countries,
telling them they de-
served to be welcomed,
protected and integrated
into their new homes. He
called for expanded legal
channels for migration
and for protections for
the most vulnerable, re-
gardless of their refugee
status.
“This shared commit-
ment is needed in order
to avoid presenting new
opportunities to those
merchants of the human
flesh who exploit the
dreams and needs of mi-
grants,” he told the gath-
ering at the Catholic-run
Caritas charity.
U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer wants Boeing
to be removed from a Federal Aviation Adminis-
tration rulemaking committee as investigations
deepen into both the company and regulator’s
role in two deadline airline crashes.
Senate Democratic Leader Schumer said Sun-
day that Boeing should be suspended from the
Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee, which
makes recommendations on airline industry reg-
ulations. He also wants the membership and ac-
tivities of the committee to be made public and
suggested further reforms to the committee.
Congress is looking closely at the relationship
between Boeing and the FAA after two recent
deadly crashes. Both crashes involved a Boeing
jet green-lighted by the U.S. regulator, which re-
lied heavily on safety assessments made by Boe-
ing employees.
The FAA said it had not received Schumer’s re-
quest and would provide a response when it does.
A representative for Boeing was not immediately
available.

“I loved it,” he said to reporters
following the meeting. “I’m glad
(voters) came out and most of all,
I’m glad they got a chance to hear
with their own ear (what the candi-
dates said) ... That was the (point)
of the whole thing, getting them to
talk to the community, engage with
the community, see what people’s
concerns are.”
Over the two-hour forum, each
candidate had the chance to intro-
duce themselves and answer ques-
tions from the audience, a crowd
of few dozen people who appeared
to primarily be family members or
campaign volunteers of the candi-
dates. Topics ranged from crime
issues in the community to tension
between officials from Lowndes
County and the city of Columbus.
Candidates at the event includ-
ed hopefuls for chancery clerk Re-
publicans Cindy Eggar Goode and
Jessica Lancaster Pierce and Dem-
ocrat Joseph Mickens; for District

Harry Sanders and independent
challenger Steve Pyle; for District

er Ben Kilgore; for county attorney
Republican Steve Wallace; and for
District 39 state representative Re-
publican challenger Dana McLean.

Turner, Wallace and McLean, all
of whom attended the forum when
their opponents — District 5 Super-
visor Leroy Brooks, county attorney
candidates Courtney B. “Corky”
Smith and William Starks II and
Rep. Jeff Smith, respectively — did
not.
Other candidates running op-
posed who did not attend included
chancery clerk candidate Andre
Roberts, District 2 supervisor candi-
date James Lee Harrison, District 1
constable candidate Randy “Soldier”
Robles, District 2 constable Austin
Strickland and tax assessor candi-
dates incumbent Greg Andrews and
challenger Sherman Vaughn.
“You can’t say that you didn’t
know about it because it was in the
papers,” Shinn said. “These people
came out here to voice their con-
cerns and get a chance to engage,
but they failed to show for whatev-
er reason. I don’t know whether it
wasn’t important to them or whether
they were relaxed being elected so
many times that they feel comfort-
able that they (don’t have) to hear
our concerns, but I kind of think a
change is going to come. If we don’t
mean that much to you, something
may happen somewhere down the
line and I’m hoping it does because
we deserve better.”
He said he tried to contact all the
candidates, but a couple he missed
called and asked if they could at-
tend, which he told them they were
welcome to do.
“Those are the type of people
that I really want in office, that when
they hear you’re having a meeting
and you’ve got some concerns, and
they take time and put off what they
were doing to come and hear your
concerns,” he said.
Shinn said overall he felt the fo-
rum was a success and hoped to
hold another during the campaigns.
Primaries will be held Aug. 6
with elections on Nov. 5.

THE DREAM ENDS

Bulldogs fall
to Ionescu
and Ducks in
region final
By Anne M. Peterson
The Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. — Off to Or-

egon’s first appearance in the Final
Four, guard Sabrina Ionescu set
the theme for the second-seeded
Ducks.
“All I gotta say is we’re not done
yet,” Ionescu said after she had 31
points, eight assists and seven re-
bounds in Oregon’s 88-84 victory
Sunday over top-seeded Mississip-
pi State.
Satou Sabally had 22 points and
seven rebounds for the Ducks (33-
4), who head to Tampa, Florida, to
face the winner of Monday’s game
between top overall seed Baylor
and Iowa.
At the final buzzer, Ionescu
jumped into teammate Ruthy He-
bard’s arms and coach Kelly Graves
flashed an “O’’ with his hands to the
crowd. The Ducks had been elimi-
nated in the Elite Eight the past two
seasons.
As Ionescu cut down a piece of
the net, fans at the Moda Center
chanted “One more year!” at the
junior guard, who has been dogged
by rumors she may skip her final
year to go pro.
Mississippi State senior center
Teaira McCowan had 19 points
and 15 rebounds in her final game
for the Bulldogs (33-3), who had
played in the NCAA title game for
the past two seasons. Two of Mis-
sissippi State’s losses this season
were to Oregon, and the first one
was a true road game in Eugene.
It certainly had the feeling of an
away game for Mississippi State,
even though the Bulldogs wore
their home whites. Attendance at
the Moda Center was announced
at 11,534, with the vast majority
cheering on the Ducks — a tough
draw for a top seed.

Wilson who torched the Bulldogs for 23
points and 10 rebounds in a 67-55 win in
the NCAA championship game.
The 2018 version brought Arike Ogun-
bowale’s desperation 3-pointer at the
buzzer that dashed MSU’s national title
aspirations.
This year’s specter was Oregon junior
guard Sabrina Ionescu, who totaled 31
points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds in the
Ducks’ 88-84 Elite Eight victory over the
Bulldogs on Sunday in Portland, Oregon.
“She’s a great player,” senior guard
Jazzmun Holmes said in a news confer-
ence following the game. “We did all we
could.”
The 2018-19 season was supposed to be
a revenge tour of sorts for the Bulldogs.
After back-to-back seasons of
gut-wrenching defeats, MSU was pre-
pared for an all-out press toward the
school’s first national championship in
any team sport.
But for the third straight season, the
Bulldogs came agonizingly close to reach-
ing the mountaintop before being ousted.
While the pain of defeat seeps into the
MSU locker room, context must not be
lost.

Schaefer said.
Ionescu’s jumper put Oregon up
78-73 with just under three minutes
left. After McCowan made a pair of
free throws, Ionescu added a 3 that
put the crowd on its feet and essen-
tially put it away for the Ducks.
Bre’Amber Scott’s layup with
54 seconds left pulled the Bulldogs
within 81-77, but Maite Cazorla
answered with a 3-pointer for the
Ducks. Jazzmun Holmes’ jumper
cut the margin to five points with
26.4 seconds to go, but Mississippi
State could not catch up.

NCAA BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

Auburn stuns Kentucky in OT to reach Final Four

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
The confetti was still swirling
around Auburn coach Bruce
Pearl when he gazed over a
team headed to the first Final
Four in school history and de-
clared, “This one was for Chu-
ma!”
“The next two,” Pearl added
with a triumphant grin, “are for
Auburn.”
Drawing inspiration from
injured forward Chuma Okeke,
the No. 5 seed Tigers finished
off a joyful romp through col-
lege basketball royalty by
bringing down the winningest
program of all. Their 77-71 over-
time win over second-seeded
seed Kentucky in the finals of
the Midwest Region on Sunday
came after blowouts of Kansas
and North Carolina that served
notice: Auburn is more than a
football school.
Jared Harper led the way
with 26 points, including the
tying basket in regulation and a
crucial series of layups in over-
time. Bryce Brown added 24
points and Anfernee McLem-
ore came up big in the extra
session, helping Auburn (30-
9) set a school record for wins
with its 12th straight overall.
“We wanted to make histo-
ry,” Pearl said. “You have to
understand, at Auburn in ath-
letics, we’re not Cinderellas in
anything. We’re really, really
good in all those other sports.
We win championships. Been
a long time since men’s basket-
ball has been good.”
Okeke was there in more
than just spirit, too. The sopho-
more forward, who tore his ACL
in the final minutes against the
Tar Heels, was rolled behind
the bench in a wheelchair early
in the second half.
He was still there when the
wild celebration finally began.
“Moving him to the gym,
sitting him on the bench — he
doesn’t want the camera on
him,” Pearl said. “He must have
been watching the first half at
the hotel and said, ‘I can’t stay
here. I got to go.’”
The Tigers had only reached
the Elite Eight once before,
and that was 33 years ago. But
after twice losing to Kentucky
during the regular season, they
rose to the occasion on the
game’s biggest stage.
Next stop: the Final Four and
a national semifinal date with
Virginia.
“I’m so glad we came out and
battled the whole entire 40 min-
utes for Chuma,” Brown said.
“If he was out there, he would
have made a huge difference.”
Auburn forced overtime
when Harper made a tying
layup with 38 seconds left, and
the diminutive guard added the
first four points of the extra ses-
sion. And when Ashton Hagans
scored for Kentucky, it was
McLemore who added back-
to-back baskets that forced the
Wildcats to play catch-up.
They never made it all the
way back.
Samir Doughty made the
second of two free throws to
give Auburn a cushion with 16.1
seconds to go, and the Wildcats’
Keldon Johnson misfired at the
other end, wrapping up a victo-
ry that surely sent the Tigers’
fan base streaming to Toomer’s
Corner.
“They played aggressive.
They played tough. They
bumped and it was a grind-
ing-type game,” Kentucky
coach John Calipari said. “They
deserved to win the game.”
PJ Washington came off the
bench and had 28 points and
13 rebounds for the Wildcats,
but he also had a shot blocked
that could have given his team
the lead in the final seconds
of regulation. Johnson added
14 points and Hagans finished
with 10, though he also commit-
ted seven turnovers.
“We thought we were going
to win,” said Washington, who
declined to say whether it was
his final game at Kentucky.
“Just a lot of emotions not being
able to finish it the way I wanted
to.”
Pearl acknowledged his
team would need to shoot
lights-out to beat Kentucky, and
midway through the first half
the Tigers were still searching
for the switch.
The team that knocked
down 17 3-pointers against
North Carolina missed seven
of its first eight shots against
Kentucky. Brown clanked two
wide-open attempts in the first
minute, and his brazen bunch
quickly found themselves star-
ing at a big hole against a much
bigger team.
The plan for Big Blue Nation
was simple: bludgeon Auburn
inside. And it became a whole
lot easier when forwards Malik
Dunbar, Horace Spencer and
Austin Wiley picked up two
fouls apiece.
Despite a depleted front line,
the SEC Tournament champs
managed to hang tough.
Harper kept dashing to the
rim for layups, he converted a
four-point play late in the half,
and the Tigers — who had won
11 straight after a blowout loss
at Rupp Arena — were within
35-30 at the break.
It took Brown finding his
rhythm for the Tigers to find
the lead.
The SEC’s most prolific
3-point shooter this season
buried one early in the second
half. After he added a pair of
free throws on the next trip
down floor, Brown corralled a
loose ball and dropped anoth-
er 3-pointer from the corner to
give Auburn its first lead at 40-
37 with 17 1/2 minutes left.
Then it was Washington’s
turn to provide the clutch plays.
The sophomore forward,
who eschewed the NBA draft
for another year in Lexington,
made an acrobat duck-under
layup to knot the game 58-all.
Then, Washington followed up
his own miss with a finger-roll
to give the Wildcats a 60-58
lead with a minute to go.
Harper’s scooping layup lat-
er knotted the game, and both
teams had chances to score
again in regulation. Washing-
ton and Johnson had their shots
swatted in the paint for Ken-
tucky, and Spencer — an odd
choice to take the final shot —
missed an open 3 at the buzzer
for Auburn.
MICHIGAN STATE 68,
DUKE 67: Cassius Winston
missed an open jump shot but
was right there for the rebound.
Without hesitating, he stepped
back and swished a 3-pointer.
“Now is not the time to doubt
yourself,” Winston said. “Now’s
not the time to shy away from
those big moments.”
The biggest moment for
Michigan State is still to come
after Winston led the Spartans
back to the Final Four for the
first time since 2015.
Michigan State beat Duke
68-67 on Sunday to knock
the overall top seed out of the
NCAA Tournament in what
likely was the end of Zion Wil-
liamson’s college career. Win-
ston took over the game when
his team faced its biggest defi-
cit, stealing the show from Wil-
liamson with 20 points and 10
assists.
“I was locked in,” Winston
said with smile and a piece of
one of the nets tucked into his
Final Four hat. “I wanted to do
everything I could for my team
to get us to that point.”

MSU ROUNDUP

Moore’s homer helps Dawgs top

No. 4 Alabama on the road, 12-9
FROM SPECIAL REPORTS
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.
— The Mississippi State
softball team earned its
most noteworthy victory
of the season Sunday with
a 12-9, extra-inning win
over No. 4 Alabama on the
road.
Senior Kat Moore de-
livered the heroics, belt-
ing a three-run homerun
in the top of the 10th in-
ning to prevent the sweep.
“All weekend we’ve
been talking about fight-
ing back, keep throwing
punches and that’s what
we did today,” Moore said.
“We never went away.”
Sophomore Emily Wil-
liams pitched 8.1 innings
— eight of which were
shutout — to earn the vic-
tory.
Senior Emily Heim-
berger and junior Fa Lei-
lua each notched four hits
apiece. It was the first
time Leilua had done so in
her career.
Next up for MSU is
a neutral-site contest
against Jacksonville State
in Huntsville, Alabama,
on Wednesday. First pitch
is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
WOMEN’S TENNIS:
The MSU women’s tennis
team fell to Arkansas 4-3
Sunday in an almost four-
hour affair.
The Bulldogs quickly
jumped out to a 2-0 lead
after earning the doubles
point and a 6-1, 6-2 win
at No. 3 singles by senior
Anastasia Rentouli.
No. 82 freshman Emma
Antonaki earned the third
point of the day for MSU
with a 6-1,6-4 win in the
No. 1 singles match.
Arkansas would re-
bound though, taking the
remaining four singles
matches — three of which
went three sets.
The Bulldogs next
take on No. 5 Vanderbilt
in Nashville Friday. The
match is slated to begin at
3:30 p.m.

COLLEGE BASEBALL

No. 21 Ole Miss offense comes alive in

SEC victory over No. 8 Arkansas
FROM SPECIAL REPORTS
FAY E T T E V I L L E ,
Ark. — Thanks to some
late game heroics, No.
21-ranked Ole Miss se-
cured a 2-1 series victory
over No. 8 Arkansas with
a 10-5 win Sunday.
After four innings of
two-run ball, the Rebels
came alive in the middle
frames, scoring eight
runs between the fifth
and seventh innings.
Despite surrendering
the lead in the bottom of
the fifth, sophomore Tyler
Keenan drove in his 43rd
run of the season to tie
the game.
Junior Cole Zabowski
followed Keenan, plating
the go-ahead run with a
base knock up the middle.
On the mound, ju-
nior righty Tyler Myers
pitched a stellar four in-
nings of relief, giving up
just two hits and striking
out four.
Ole Miss is now 20-9
overall and 5-4 in the SEC.
Next up for the Rebels
is an 11 a.m. meeting with
North Alabama Tuesday
in Oxford before a three-
game home weekend se-
ries with No. 5 Florida.
FLORIDA SWEEPS
ALABAMA: For the
third straight time against
an SEC foe, the Alabama
baseball failed win the se-
ries, falling to No. 15 Flor-
ida, 6-3.
The Gators won all
three meetings this week-
end.
After boasting an early
lead, Crimson Tide start-
er freshman Tyler Ras
was tagged for two runs
in the bottom of the sec-
ond inning before being
pulled. Ras’ replacement,
graduate transfer Jeremy
Randolph, fared margin-
ally better, giving up two
runs in 3.2 innings of
work.
Trailing 6-1 in the top
of the ninth inning, Ala-
bama scored two runs in
the frame before Florida
sophomore reliever Jor-
dan Butler slammed the
door.
Senior outfielders
Joe Breaux and Keith
Holcombe both notched
multi-hit games, earning
two hits apiece.
After a strong non-con-
ference slate, the Crim-
son Tide sit at 2-7 in con-
ference play and just 4-5
on the road.
Alabama’s next match-
up is at 6 p.m. Tuesday
against Troy before a
three-game set with
South Carolina Thursday
through Saturday.
SOUTHERN MISS
TOPS UTSA: No.
27-ranked Southern Miss
salvaged a game three
win over the University
of Texas at San Antonio,
14-6.
Winners of eight
straight games entering
the weekend, the Golden
Eagles dropped two of
three to the Roadrunners
away from home.
Sunday’s contest was
marked by freshman
Hunter Leblanc and red-
shirt freshman Will Mc-
Gillis’ days at the plate.
They combined for five
hits, five runs and seven
RBIs. McGillis was a per-
fect 3-for-3.
Southern Miss next
welcomes South Alabama
to Hattiesburg at 6 p.m.
Tuesday. They’ll take on
Conference-USA foe Mar-
shall in a three-game se-
ries Friday through
Sunday at home.

dogs’ streak of 46 consecutive regu-
lar-season nonconference wins.
Ionescu averaged 19.6 points, 8.3
assists and 7.5 rebounds going into
Sunday’s game. The Pac-12 Player
of the Year has 18 career triple-dou-
bles, an NCAA record among men
and women, including eight this
season.
“I’m never amazed at anything
she does really, after three years,”
Graves said. “You just expect the
incredible.”
The Bulldogs went up 15-8 ear-
ly, but Sabally hit a 3-pointer that
closed the gap as Oregon relied
on its perimeter game. Oregon fin-
ished with 13 3s.
Ionescu’s 3-pointer tied it at 19,
but the Bulldogs had free throws to
make it 21-19 at the end of the first
quarter. The Ducks hit five of eight
3-pointers in the opening period
alone.
NCAA WOMEN’S TOURNAMENT
Oregon pulled in front 30-27 on
Cazorla’s 3-pointer in the second
quarter. The Ducks led 40-38 at the
break. Ionescu led all scorers with
15 points, including three 3-point-
ers.
Hebard was tasked with guard-
ing McCowan, but she had two
fouls and went to the bench midway
through the second quarter. But
she opened the second half with
a layup, and Ionescu added anoth-
er to give the Ducks a 44-38 lead.
Andra Espinoza-Hunter made a
3-pointer to close the gap.
Oregon held the edge until How-
ard’s layup put the Bulldogs in front
54-53.
Mississippi State got a scare late
in the quarter when McCowan went
down hard on a layup attempt and
stayed on the floor for several mo-
ments. She went to the bench hold-
ing the right side of her chest.
“A loss is a loss, you know? It
doesn’t feel good,” McCowan said.
“But I’m proud of my team, my
coaching staff we got this far. We
had a great season. Nothing to
hang our heads on. Yeah, it hurts,
but we’ll be OK.”
The Bulldogs fell short in their
bid to become the seventh team to
reach the Final Four three straight
years.
Holmes added 15 points and 13
assists for the Bulldogs in her last
game, and didn’t have a turnover.
“The first thing that jumps off
is 13 assists and no turnovers, in

Notre Dame, Stanford meet in Chicago final Jepsen

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Defending na-
tional champion Notre Dame and
Stanford have Hall of Fame coach-
es in Muffet McGraw and Tara
VanDerveer and successful tradi-
tions that include two NCAA titles
for each program.
Even though they followed sim-
ilar paths, they went years with-
out meeting. But lately, they keep
bumping into each other.
Notre Dame and Stanford will
meet in the NCAA Tournament for
the fourth time in five years when
they face off in the Chicago Region
final on Monday night. The winner
goes to Tampa Bay for the Final
Four and will face UConn on Friday
night.
“I do feel like we know their
team very well,” VanDerveer said
Sunday. “They have a tremendous
team. Their coaching staff is out-
standing. They’re just really elite at
everything they do.”
Top-seeded Notre Dame (33-3)
beat Texas A&M in the Sweet 16 for
the second straight year, with Arike
Ogunbowale scoring a career-high
34 points to send the Irish to their
10th Elite Eight overall and eighth
in the past nine years.
The Cardinal (31-4) outlasted
Missouri State 55-46 to advance to
the regional final for the 20th time
despite shooting a season-low 25
percent in its second-lowest scoring
game.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Homer-hitting Harper and Phillies sweep Braves out of town

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Bryce Harper
turned Philly into a baseball city again
with his star power, his slugging and a
sweep. With a pair of mammoth homers
making him at home in his new digs,
Harper is now ready for a blast from the
past.
The six-time All-Star homered for the
second straight game to cap a fantastic
debut weekend and the Philadelphia
Phillies completed a three-game sweep
of the Atlanta Braves with a 5-1 victory
Sunday night.
Harper connected on a solo shot to
right field off Shane Carle in the seventh
inning that had the crowd resuming its
“MVP!” chants from a day earlier and
the Phillie Phanatic dancing atop the
dugout. Carle then drilled cleanup hitter
Rhys Hoskins on the left shoulder and
was ejected from the game, and Phillies
fans taunted him with a mock tomahawk
chop.
“If it hits the front row, I’m fine,”
Harper said. “I don’t care how far it goes.
It’s not how far, it’s how many.”
The sweep was complete — and now
it’s time for an early reunion.
Harper, the hit of the city, is back on
familiar turf this week when the Phillies
head to Washington for a two-game set
with the Nationals.
Harper was the No. 1 overall pick by
the Nationals in the 2010 amateur draft
and was NL Rookie of the Year in 2012 at
age 19. He was the 2015 NL MVP when
he batted .330 and hit 42 homers. The
outfielder left as a free agent for the Phil-
lies and a 13-year, $330 million contract
and digs in to an unknown fan reaction
on Tuesday.
“I’m sure some cheers, some boos as
well,” Harper said.
Jake Arrieta (1-0) walked six, struck
out six and allowed a run in six innings.
Harper was an instant fan favorite in
his first series in Philadelphia, and his
No. 3 jersey became a baseball best-sell-
er. Harper wore Phanatic cleats, bowed
to the crowd — and wowed them Satur-
day with a 465-foot homer for his first
hit.
Harper still had Phillies fans in a fren-
zy, though a windy, chilly night thinned
the packed ballpark from the first two
games by several thousand for the first
night game of the series. Harper walked
in the first inning and was left stranded
on third when Odubel Herrera struck
out with the bases loaded.
Harper lined an opposite-field double
off the left field wall in the third and had
to hustle with a headfirst slide into sec-
ond after watching the ball for a bit.
He could have stared all night at his
homer.
“They are such good fans,” Harper
said. “They understand the game. They
understand sports and their city and
things like that. You see Eagles games.
You see all these fans. You see Sixers
games and things like that, and how sup-
portive they are of all those teams.”
Phillies fans again made signs at the
game seemingly as much a necessary
accessory as a hot dog and soda. There
was a pack of Phillies fans that brought
individual letters and held them up to
spell “Harper.”
“He’s connected with people in the
ballpark,” manager Gabe Kapler said.
“He’s connected with his teammates.
He’s connected with the coaching staff.
He’s connected with the city. He’s con-
nected with the fans.”

Keep the trend going and you’ll

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
It’s your turn to present an idea,
make an introduction or execute

to do it more than once. After
each interaction, decide what

You’re going to need that in or-

Just remember that the first

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
The line between self-exam-

a thin one. Reflection is only
one way to become wise. It is
also possible to become wise
through experience, a route that
is both more difficult and more
dependable.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Be all-embracing. This is the
way of beauty and love, to be
nonpartial. To accept others is
to accept yourself. The more
room you can make in your
heart the more there will be.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
It’s natural to assume that
everyone thinks like you. It will
take only a few conversations
to realize this isn’t so. You’re
unique. Sometimes you have
to witness what you’re not to
understand more fully what you
are.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You’re getting really good
at making plans you’ll actually
want to stick to. This has come
out of a process of trial and
error. Your latest plan has a
really excellent shot at unfolding
pretty close to how it looks on
paper.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Trust silence. Silence will
be your true friend. It will stand
in, taking up the right amount of
space, meaning exactly what’s
projected onto it — no more,
no less.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You’re fully aware that peo-
ple do not completely share the
same reality. Everyone involved
in the scene has a different
experience of it. You’re practical
about this, and you stay on the
lookout for common ground.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Faithfulness and sincerity
are the qualities you get the
chance to display only when
there’s something to set right.
So in a weird way, you’ll be
happy for the drama that needs
your reaction. It’s your shining
moment.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). You’re in charge of your
story, though it can get out of
your hands from time to time.
Pull back to see the bigger
picture. What are your points of
power and leverage? How could
you better set yourself up for
success?
