IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Tony Perkins’ layup with 1.3 seconds left gave Iowa an 88-86 overtime win over No. Perkins, who had 16 of his 18 points in the second half and overtime, drove the right side of the lane, nearly losing the ball before recovering to hit the winning shot. Iowa built a nine-point lead on two occasions in the second half, then the Hawkeyes went almost six minutes without a field goal. Both teams had chances to win the game in the closing seconds of the second half. Iowa wore down in the second half — Perkins and Freeman played the entire half — as the Badgers rallied.

In the five years our twin boys have been on this planet, they've hardly ever spent any time apart. They've shared a bedroom since birth, have the same friends, and up until school, did everything together, seven days a week. One twin didn't want to be away from his brotherMaking this decision felt like a huge weight off our minds. AdvertisementAll of our friends and family agreed that separating the boys sounded like the right decision, which was reassuring. Now that they have a term of school under their belts, we do no doubt that this was the right decision for our boys.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Five of the six major conferences have a leader or co-leader that failed to make the NCAA Tournament last season. Four of the major-conference leaders that got left out of March Madness last season have reached a Final Four within the last decade. 4 North Carolina, which went 20-13 and turned down an NIT bid last season, is unbeaten in Atlantic Coast Conference competition. “No matter what we’re going through — ups and downs — we’re just connected.”Oregon also added a few transfers during the offseason. But for now, it also could assure that the Badgers don't get let out of the field for a second straight season.

☆ My twin boys are in different classes, and planning their birthdays overwhelmed me. Here's how I celebrated them individually.

AdvertisementIf your children are anything like mine, they will have planned their next birthday party mere moments after their previous birthday party finishes. Having a party with 60 kids felt like too muchThis is doubly awkward when you have twin boys who like completely different things — "Frozen" versus "Lego Ninjago" — and are in separate classes. But with 30 children in each of their classes, does that mean we have to host a party with 60 kids?! Obviously, outsourcing is the key to most successful kids' birthday parties. Yes, there may still be up to 60 kids coming in total, but it feels more manageable now that they won't be there all at once.

☆ I'm so 'touched out' by my 3 children that I don't even want my husband to touch me

Read previewOne of the best things about being a mom is the delicious cuddles and kisses you get from your children. I'm 'touched out'I had never heard of the term "touched out" before I became a parent, but I soon became familiar with it when I was breastfeeding our firstborn. My husband doesn't feel how I doSadly, this has extended to my husband, too. This means he rarely feels touched out, while I have come to associate touch with meeting people's needs. I feel like being touched out is just another example of what a roller coaster parenthood is.

Organizers said that last year’s exhibition there by Simone Leigh cost about $7 million. But curators say financial support from the State Department has not kept pace with the increases. “We consider private-sector support a strength in our approach to this program, as it creates broad engagement with a wide variety of stakeholders,” a spokesman for the State Department said. “I think there is an understanding even before a selection is made that if you apply, then you have the ability to fundraise,” said Brooke Kamin Rapaport, artistic director and chief curator at Madison Square Park Conservancy and the commissioner of the $3.8 million Venice exhibition by the sculptor Martin Puryear in 2019. Robert Storr, who directed the 2007 Venice Biennale and is a former dean of the Yale School of Art, said the rising costs of shipping and other logistics make the system unsustainable.
