When writing about sports scores, standings and standards, here's how AP style treats numbers:
* The Dodgers defeated the Phillies 10-3. (No comma between the team and the score)
* In narrative, spell out nine and under except for yard lines in football and individual and team statistical performances: The ball was on the 5-yard line. Seventh hole. In basketball, 3-point play and 3-point shot.
* In statistical performances, hyphenate as a modifier: He completed 8 of 12 passes. He made 5 of 6 (shots is understood). He was 5-for-12 passing. He had a 3-for-5 day. He was 3-for-5. He went 3-for-5 (batting, shooting, etc., is understood).
Flag football received a formal recommendation to become an NCAA sport.
If legislation is approved by three divisions in January, its first championship projected to be held in spring 2028.
UM baseball updates from JD Arteaga
-3B Daniel Cuvet (stress fracture in back) remains day to day. Should hit off a tee at practice today.
-Rob Evans starts Wednesday vs Cal/Stanford winner. Lazaro Collera would go Thursday vs BC. Ciscar in semifinal Saturday if Miami gets there
Daniel Cuvet update this morning from Arteaga - “He’s still day to day,” Arteaga said. “Being more active day to day. Just more rest and rehab for the last few weeks. Getting more mobile. He’ll start swinging a light bat today, hitting balls off the tee. Still baby steps.”
The past two seasons, especially the deep CFP run of 2025, have done wonders for Mario Cristobal's reputation.
@JakeCrain_ breaks it down on @LockedOnCanes
@the_jabronie I think the Canes, at worst, go 12-1 regular season as ACC champions.
I have them as my preseason projected 1-seed. Love the Mensah signing, 3 capable backs, Toney/Barkate, OL (and even DL with Damon Wilson 10+ sacks) should be fine.
Miami DT coach Damione Lewis who was the 12th pick in the 1st round of the NFL draft was a MENACE‼️
COME GET COACHED BY THE BEST‼️
