Zuby Ejiofor of St. John's was selected Big East Defensive Player of the Year in balloting by the league's head coaches announced Monday. Villanova guard Tyler Perkins was chosen Most Improved Player, and teammate Devin Askew won the Sixth Man Award. Creighton senior Josh Dix received the Sportsmanship Award. The 6-foot-9, 245-pound Ejiofor was the only unanimous pick on the All-Big East first team and the inaugural Big East All-Defensive Team revealed Sunday. After leading the 13th-ranked Red Storm (25-6, 18-2) to their second consecutive outright regular-season championship, the senior forward is a clear frontrunner for conference player of the year, which will be announced Wednesday. Ejiofor was one of two players in the country with at least 60 blocked shots and 30 steals during the regular season. He ranks sixth in the Big East with 7.1 rebounds per game. The league's preseason player of the year as well, Ejiofor became the fifth St. Johns player to win Big East Defensive Player of the Year and first since freshman guard Posh Alexander in 2021. The top-seeded Johnnies begin defense of their 2025 Big East Tournament title Thursday in the quarterfinals at Madison Square Garden. Perkins led third-place Villanova (24-7, 15-5) in scoring at 15.2 points per game in conference play and averaged 6.2 rebounds. The 6-4 junior averaged 6.3 points overall for the Wildcats last season after transferring from Penn. Askew averaged 10.7 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 23 minutes in Big East action, coming off the bench in 19 league games before the 6-5 guard started on Senior Day. Dix led Creighton in scoring at 12.7 points per game during his first season at the school after spending three years at Iowa. Reporting by The Associated Press.

The never-ending saga of Jon Jones and the UFC took another sharp turn this past weekend. Now, in light of Jones' frustrations spilling over into a public request for his UFC release, perhaps the most surprising development is Tom Aspinall standing as one of the few supporters in the all-time great's corner.Just days after UFC CEO Dana White publicly dismissed the idea that Jones was ever in talks to compete on the upcoming UFC White House event on June 14, the longtime UFC superstar fired back on social media and didnt pull any punches. Jones, 38, disputed Whites version of events in a lengthy statement Monday afternoon, insisting negotiations for the historic card were very real and accusing the promotion of coming in with a monetary offer far below what Jones believed he deserved."If the UFC truly feels like Im done, then I respectfully ask to be released from my contract today," Jones concluded in his statement. "No more spins, no more games."Jon Jones clears the air Jones says he was in negotiations to fight at the White House but the UFC "lowballed" him, so he declined. He has now asked them to terminate his contract if they don't plan on letting him fight. pic.twitter.com/fkY6f1QP2V Uncrowned (@uncrownedcombat) March 9, 2026Those latest comments only further added intrigue to a situation that has lingered for years, particularly surrounding Jones long-discussed heavyweight showdown with the now-champion Aspinall. While the matchup was repeatedly floated around as one of the biggest fights UFC could make, negotiations stalled multiple times before Jones ultimately retired this past June.Appearing on Mondays edition of "The Ariel Helwani Show," Aspinall offered a surprising reaction to Jones request for release defending the former two-division champion and arguing that the UFC should indeed be paying Jones far more.This is going to probably be crazy to a lot of people listening, but why is the UFC not giving Jon the respect he deserves financially? That's crazy to me," Aspinall told Uncrowned.If anyone should be getting paid a lot in this sport, it should be Jon Jones for the stuff that he's done. That's me saying that after the history that I've had with Jon Jones. If anybody should be getting money in this sport, it's Jon Jones.Aspinall, who repeatedly pushed for a life-changing unification bout with Jones after capturing interim gold in 2023 only to be rebuffed at every turn, suggested the promotion had already demonstrated it was willing to pay top dollar for the fight. Uncrowned's Ariel Helwani reported that UFC's offer to Jones for the Aspinall fight reached as high of $30 million, which Jones ultimately agreed to before suddenly backing out.They offered him $30 million to fight me," Aspinall said. "So why have they not offered it again? I don't understand.These are the guys who brought in the revenue for over 10 years. They need to be getting paid what they deserve, in my opinion.Ciryl Gane will instead fill the shoes of Jones at the White House, fighting in the same fantasy clash with Alex Pereira that "Bones" desired. Another interim heavyweight title will be created for the matchup, leaving the winner to collide with Aspinall once the champion is fully healed from the eye injuries he sustained against Gane in October.As for Jones, if he gets his wish and parts ways with the UFC entirely, at least one of the two biggest what-if fights in recent heavyweight history disappears for good.

A man who initially faced a murder charge for opening fire following the Kansas City Chiefs 2024 Super Bowl win was sentenced Monday to two years in prison in a case prosecutors said was complicated by the state's self-defense laws. Dominic Miller, who pleaded guilty to a weapons charge as part of a plea deal, was among at least six people to start shooting in the melee that sent players, city officials and hundreds of fans scrambling for cover, according to court records.The gunfire erupted outside Kansas Citys historic Union Station as the celebration that drew an estimated 1 million fans was concluding. Lisa Lopez-Galvan, the host of a local radio show, was killed while watching the rally with her family. About two dozen other people, many of them children, were wounded but survived.All told, 12 people brandished firearms, with the guns found at the scene including at least two AR-style rifles, according to court records. Under Missouris self-defense and defense-of-others doctrines, we must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that any charged defendant was the initial aggressor or did not act in lawful self-defense or defense of others to overcome justification, the Jackson County prosecutor's office said in a written statement. An email seeking comment was sent to Miller's attorney. The second-degree murder charge Miller initially faced carried a sentence of 10 years to life in prison. But Missouri is among more than 30 states that have adopted some version of stand-your-ground laws over the past two decades. While earlier laws allowed people to use force to protect themselves in their homes, the stand-your-ground principle provides even broader self-defense rights regardless of the location.Police and prosecutors have said the shooting barrage started when one group of people confronted another for staring at them. Lyndell Mays is accused of being the first person to start firing. After that, a 15-year-old began to shoot toward Mays and hit Miller, who also admitted firing several shots. Authorities initially said ballistics linked the bullet that killed Galvan to a handgun Miller admitted firing, but prosecutors said in their latest statement that there wasn't enough evidence to confirm his shot caused Galvan's death. The statement said Galvan's family was consulted and that they understood the legal challenges. The greatest justice would be having Lisa back, but since that is not possible, accountability still matters, the family said in a statement released through the prosecutor's office. We also share the hope expressed in court that change can come from this and that people recognize the importance of making better choices.Mays, meanwhile, is scheduled to stand trial next year on charges that include second-degree murder. The 15-year-old involved was sentenced previously to a state facility for youths.
