DENVER (KDVR) — Deion Sanders' first season as head coach at the University of Colorado Boulder comes to a close this Saturday. After a historic start to the year when Sanders debuted his Buffaloes in Fort Worth and took home an upset win against TCU, the Buffs have faltered a bit and landed last in the Pac-12 standings. The Buffs lost their fifth game in a row last Friday against Washington State. The Cougars claimed victory over the Buffs with a final score of 56-14 and took away the team's hopes of a bowl game this year.

The colder weather setting in across Massachusetts could be affecting the number of migrants coming to the state, Gov. Maura Healey said following a chilly outdoor press conference Tuesday.Officials are seeing a “drop” in new arrivals seeking emergency shelter, Healey said.

Among the words he used to describe that identity were “mindset” and “toughness.”Those traits were missing in several moments last season, and came back to haunt them during critical times in the playoffs. The Celtics, too often, let go of the rope. There were several times when they lost their focus. In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat were tougher and more disciplined. The Celtics didn’t have a consistent mindset, especially in crunch time.Through the first several weeks of this season, the Celtics’ mindset seemed to turn a corner. They weren’t underestimating opponents. They responded to adversity well and were the tougher team in crunch time as they kept a level focus.But that mindset has regressed in recent games. As the C’s embarked on a road trip against inferior opponents, human nature took over. They lost their focus during stretches against the...
