3+ hour, 42+ min ago (1708+ words) Few experiences capture the magic of autumn quite like a scenic fall-foliage drive along the East Coast. From the fiery red maples of Vermont to the golden mountain ridges of Virginia, these routes turn ordinary highways into glowing corridors of color. The season transforms small towns into postcard scenes, wraps rural roads in warm light, and gives travelers the feeling that the year is slowing down just long enough to appreciate the beauty around them. For many Americans, these drives are more than road trips, they're cherished traditions that signal the start of crisp air, cozy evenings, and harvest-season charm. Small towns on either end of the route add charm without interrupting the tranquility. North Conway and Lincoln offer cozy caf's, covered bridges, and fall markets, perfect for grabbing cider doughnuts before continuing your drive. The combination of raw nature…...

The night began with the return of Dioubate, who hadn't played since suffering an injury in the 8366 loss to Michigan State in New York City on Nov. 18. The junior wasted no time making his presence felt. Dioubate finished with 14 points on 4-of-7 shooting, added 12 rebounds for a double-double, and went 6-of-10 at the free-throw line. He also stuffed the stat sheet with five steals and posted a +18 in 22 minutes, giving Kentucky energy, toughness, and defensive disruption it had been missing. Lowe followed with his most complete performance since returning from a shoulder injury. After re-injuring it in practice prior to the Eastern Illinois game, Lowe missed five games…...

14+ hour, 13+ min ago (755+ words) LEXINGTON, Ind. " From the first day with Indiana basketball this season, it was very clear that Lamar Wilkerson was going to be a key part of the Hoosiers' offense. When the 6-foot-6 senior guard is on the floor and humming, we've seen great things. He averaged 22 points in Indiana's first three games, and set an Assembly Hall record Tuesday night, scoring 44 points. He got off to a good start on Saturday night, too, scoring 12 first-half points in 11 minutes of action. But he also finished the half with three fouls and picked up a fourth less than two minutes into the second half. Without him on the floor, Indiana's 7-point halftime lead quickly disappeared. Kentucky got on a run, and never looked back, cruising to a 72-60 in the first regular season game in the rivalry in 14 years. Without Wilkerson, the Hoosiers…...
