UAB's Yaxel Lendeborg may have just had the best single-game stats in college basketball history

It's hard to imagine a basketball player having a better game than Yaxel Lendeborg did on Friday. Not anything close to a household name while playing a bit off the beaten path for UAB (Alabama-Birmingham), Lendeborg did his best to get noticed during an AAC Tournament quarterfinal against East Carolina. The 6-foot 9 senior scored 30 points, and grabbed 20 rebounds, and dished out eight assists, and blocked five shots, and nabbed four steals. He didn't turn the ball over a single time despite playing every second of the game, and he shot 9-for-16 from the floor and 11-for-13...

Damage assessments in Alabama are underway after a massive storm left over thirty dead nationally

Investigators with the National Weather Service will spend today working to establish the intensity of tornadoes that hit the southern U.S. Unconfirmed twisters in Alabama hit northwest of Tuscaloosa and southeast of the state capitol of Montgomery. One storm near Birmingham picked up a school bus and dropped it on a local high school. Violent weather in Georgia flipped a gas station onto its roof. Roads remain impassable due to downed trees and power lines. Storms in Missouri, Mississippi, and Arkansas are blamed for close to a dozen fatalities. The website Poweroutage.us says close to quarter million southern residents woke up in the dark today. The weather system also kicked up dust storms in Kansas and Texas that caused traffic pile ups that killed a dozen more. Forecasters were watching this system for close to a week before it hit due to the size and intensity. Alabama and Georgia were among the states to declare emergencies ahead of the storm’s arrival.
