One week ago, St. John’s struggled with mid-major opponent Towson. The Johnnies found a way to win that game. Saturday night, they lost, but there were reasons to be encouraged by the 96-94 overtime setback to Michigan at the Garden. There was progress — in the Johnnies’ fight, their ability to rally several times from deficits and the overall play of their frontcourt. “I saw a lot of really good things,” coach Rick Pitino said afterward. “But I think the weakness is just eight new guys [getting used to] playing together. Great game — great game.” It was an entertaining…

The bikini-clad Instagram influencer suspected of doubling as the queen of a drug trafficking ring called her arrest a “shame” and denied having any affiliation with the alleged interstate smuggling network. Melissa Said decried her capture after authorities raided five of her properties across Brazil following a years-long investigation and accused her of transporting drugs between the states of Bahia and São Paulo. “It’s a shame… no one in the world should be arrested for smoking marijuana,” Said proclaimed, according to The Sun.

CALGARY, Alberta — All signs point to Brennan Othmann making his season debut with the Rangers on Sunday night against the Flames. It’s a prime opportunity for the 22-year-old wing, who was cut from Rangers training camp earlier than years past and sent to AHL Hartford following a subpar preseason performance. Despite that, Othmann was still the first forward prospect recalled with Matt Rempe unable to make the road trip due to an upper-body injury. “It’s definitely a little disappointing, wasn’t really expecting it to be honest,” Othmann said of his early demotion Saturday after practice at the Scotiabank Saddledome.…

SAN ANTONIO — It was Ziaire Williams’ janky jumper that got him salary-dumped by Memphis. But now it’s his improved 3-point stroke that is earning him crunch-time minutes with the Nets. A below league-average shooter for his entire career, Williams comes into Sunday’s game here against the Spurs hitting 54.5 percent percent from behind the arc after going 6-of-9 from deep in Friday’s home-opening loss to the Cavaliers. That’s in the top 10 among players averaging 5.5 attempts, per Basketball Reference. And it’s a far cry from where he started as a shooter. “Yeah, for sure. I mean, I worked…

Now that’s arresting style. A man who stepped into a photo taken outside the Louvre in Paris amid the investigation into the recent brazen crown jewels heist at the famous museum has gone viral. The mystery man, who was dressed in a three-piece suit with a dark-colored jacket and a gold vest topped with a fedora and an umbrella used as a walking stick, had social media buzzing, comparing him to Inspector Clouseau from the “Pink Panther” and Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot. Many seemed to believe that the dashing man was the chief inspector on the case, while some even speculated his dapper appearance…

Watching horror films is a very popular form of entertainment – for some people. Research on horror films suggests which elements are particularly scary, and reveals the kinds of people who are attracted to horror films, and those who tend to avoid them. What Makes Horror Movies Scary? Fear of Death. This is ultimate human fear, both existentially and psychologically. There are very few horror films where people don’t get killed, or at least face the possibility of death. The Dark. We develop a fear of the dark in our early childhood years – not the dark itself, but what…

Tyler Kolek is making the most of his first true rotational opportunity with the Knicks that was not necessitated by an occasional injury to someone ahead of him. With Cam Payne in Indiana and veteran signing Malcolm Brogdon retiring during training camp, Kolek has served as All-Star point guard Jalen Brunson’s primary backup during the Knicks’ 2-0 start entering Sunday’s game in Miami. After notching seven points and two assists in 14 minutes in the season-opening win over the Cavaliers, the second-year guard played 13 minutes off the bench Friday night against the Celtics with two points and four assists,…

Heidi Klum’s famous rear may be making an appearance in this year’s highly-anticipated Halloween costume. The supermodel shared a cryptic photo of what appeared to be a plaster cast of her entire midsection, including her back and bottom, via Instagram Friday. “Feeling cheeky 🍑😜,” she teased the upcoming reveal in the caption, tagging prosthetic makeup designer Mike Marino. Klum — who is known for flaunting increasingly hideous and over-the-top costumes at her annual ‘Heidiween bashes’ — previously teased the secret costume in an Oct. 1 post. Heidi Klum teased her upcoming Heidiween costume reveal with a photo of a plaster cast…

The Ravens apparently made a mistake over Lamar Jackson’s Friday practice status. Following the practice, Baltimore initially listed Jackson — who has been sidelined by a right hamstring injury — as a full participant, but changed it Saturday to say he was limited after consulting with the league. He was officially ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Bears. Lamar Jackson looks on from the sidelines during the first half of the Ravens’ Week 6 home loss to the Rams. AP “Lamar Jackson was present for and participated fully in our entire Friday practice ahead of Sunday’s game against the…
