Saint Peter’s has knocked off Kentucky, Murray State and Purdue and now has its sights on pulling another NCAA Tournament upset.

8 seed North Carolina, one of the bluest of the bluebloods, in the East Region final in Philadelphia, a 93-mile drive from their campus. Never mind that Carolina's number of national championships, six, is one fewer than the Peacocks' total number of NCAA Tournament games played in their 58-year basketball history. After all, Saint Peter's wasn't supposed to be able to handle Purdue's superior size, strength and talent, but it did. NOW HEAR THISNorth Carolina coach Hubert Davis said he pays no attention to seedings, so the fact Saint Peter's is a 15 is meaningless to him. Davis said Saint Peter's will be Carolina's toughest game of the season.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - When the COVID-19 crisis hit, a Girl Scout troop in central New York thought it might have to scrap its group bird-counting trip altogether. Millers 11-year-old daughter Jordan, a Girl Scout Cadette, said she was worried and frightened when she first heard about the pandemic. It gives you something to focus on instead of having your mind going to all these fears, Jordan Miller said. Millers Girl Scout troop is just one of many organizations and individuals who are counting birds as part of Global Big Day. We definitely recognize that this will be the most city the City Nature Challenge has ever been, she said.
