The Kentucky Derby returned to its regular time slot on the weekend, after being delayed several months last year due to COVID-19, with outlandish hats, a controversy involving a Dubai-owned horse and few face masks.

Tyler Polley has decided to return to UConn for a fifth year.
Polley will enter his name into the NBA Draft as he explores the “possibility of a professional offer,” but he has passed on the opportunity to transfer to another school as a graduate student.
“I want to come back because UConn basketball is my family and I wanted the chance to play ball with my family one more time,” Polley said in a statement. “I feel like we moved the program forward last year and we want to take it even further next season.”
