Newly released Nixon-era records show senior FBI official Felt regularly reported to Nixon and his national security team on events as minor as a high-school cafeteria fight and a peaceful sit-in by 20 college students.

Or athleticism. Kentucky jumped out to a 32-6 run and never looked back, crushing the Hoosiers 72-54. IU, now 5-5, never brought the game to single digits after Kentucky’s, now 7-3, initial spurt and could only muster 13 first-half points – its fewest total since its second-round NCAA Tournament loss to UCLA in 2007.
