Xavier exits Big East tourney with back-breaking buzzer-beater to sink Marquette bettors
It's not truly March until bettors start feeling the pain of bad beats and back-breaking buzzer-beaters. On Thursday, Marquette bettors got a taste of both all in one unnecessary heave. A 2.5-point favorite over Xavier in the Big East quarterfinals, Marquette led by five as the clock winded down on a win for the Golden Eagles. But if bettors thought they could breathe, they thought wrong, because Musketeers guard Ryan Conwell wanted one last shot at the basket from the half-court logo and, of course, he hit it.

But they had to know the shot would drop as soon as Conwell let it go. The junior finished the game with 38 points, draining seven of his 11 three-point attempts.

Wisconsin clerk who failed to count almost 200 ballots is suspended
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The mayor of Wisconsin’s capital city said Wednesday that she has placed the municipal clerk on leave as investigators work to determine how she failed to count almost 200 absentee ballots in the November election. Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway said in a statement that the city has launched an investigation and that she needed to suspend City Clerk Maribeth Witzel-Behl to maintain public confidence in the clerk’s office. The mayor added that the city will spare no expense to ensure every vote is counted heading into the swing state’s spring election. The state Elections Commission also is investigating whether Witzel-Behl violated any state laws or abused her discretion. The uncounted ballots did not change the results of any races but four Madison voters whose ballots weren’t counted filed claims last week for $175,000 each from the city and Dane County, the first step toward initiating a lawsuit. The mayor’s spokesperson, Dylan Brogan, said Witzel-Behl will continue to be paid during her suspension. She makes $152,300 annually. No listing for her personal contact information could be immediately found.
