Teams have just returned from Sagittarius A*, situated pretty much at the centre of our own galaxy. This was where the final game of the Sweet Sixteen was played in a last minute venue change implemented by the tournament organizers to generate some buzz.
Regrettably, special relativity nuances…
I haven't seen the actual rulings yet, but it appears that my prediction has come true - the Supreme Court has split on the two Ten Commandments cases, ruling against the Kentucky display in the McCreary case and upholding the Texas display in the Van Orden case. According to Lyle Denniston at the…
A Tale of Two Depressions:

To summarise: the world is currently undergoing an economic shock every bit as big as the Great Depression shock of 1929-30. Looking just at the US leads one to overlook how alarming the current situation is even in comparison with 1929-30.

Oh that's quite nice. Looking forward to the final games.
ooh baby ohh baby. Glad to have you back.
And already the bookies (in jurisdictions where sports betting is legal) are offering prices on the contenders. The big news is that Darwin is the strong favourite, reflecting his staying power and form so far in seeing off both Jesus and Mammon (in the guise of Corporate).
HONEST JIM'S TIP Resist the temptation to back Darwin at only 5-2. The value to be had is further down the field - look at the nines being offered on Theory. After all, many of the other competitors have relied on Theory at some point in their careers, so it might just use its greater experience sneak through.
Full odds:
Darwin 5-2 fav
General Relativity 5-1
Invertebrates 11-2
d-orbitals 7-1
Theory 9-1
HIV 10-1
Particle 12-1
Fossil Fuel 14-1
