With just 7 players, Southern Miss women’s basketball advances to WNIT Super 16
SUMMARY: The Southern Miss women's basketball team overcame various challenges, including a depleted roster and their coach's physical fatigue, to beat Murray State 78-67 in overtime, advancing to the WNIT Super 16. The Golden Eagles trailed early but managed to secure a win with standout performances from players like Davis, who scored 33 points, setting a single-season record with 651 points, and Bracey, who contributed 25 points. The team's 20th victory was marked by their resilience in a close game with numerous lead changes. Coach McNelis, reaching her 1000th career game, had to take a break during the third quarter but continued making decisions off-court. Southern Miss will next play an opponent determined after the Grambling State vs. Louisiana-Monroe game.

Investigation finds MDEQ did not racially discriminate against Jackson in funding water systems
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) has been cleared of allegations of racial discrimination in its funding of water system improvements for Jackson by the EPA. The probe began after the NAACP filed a complaint. MDEQ claimed to have approved loans for Jackson at higher rates than other cities, allocating over $86 million since a 2012 consent decree with the EPA. MDEQ officials and a former employee highlighted significant loan proportions for Jackson's wastewater projects. The EPA did find procedural deficiencies in MDEQ's processes, but MDEQ argues it complies with federal laws. The NAACP still alleges discrimination against Jackson.
