Villanova men's basketball head coach Jay Wright. SAN ANTONIO - Collin Gillespie, Jermaine Samuels and Villanova are back in the city of the Alamo for the first time since winning the national championship there four years ago.

Even the opponent is the same, though in a different arena for this somewhat unexpected Sweet 16 matchup against Michigan.Gillespie and Samuels, true freshmen during that 2018 NCAA Tournament title run, are now graduate students and four-year starters who got an extra season of eligibility because of the pandemic."We were just role guys on a team with six guys who had been in big games before.

So we learned a lot from those guys and the preparation that it takes to get to that point," Gillespie said Wednesday. "Now that we’re back in San Antonio, it doesn’t really ...

like the two don’t really correlate."Gillespie, a third-team All-American and the Wildcats' leading scorer at 16 points per game, has started 121 games since having four points and five rebounds in 16 minutes during that 2018 title game.

Johnny Depp Trial: Claims that couple was engaged in 'mutual abuse'

FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. - A former personal assistant to Amber Heard said she never saw the actress suffer any physical abuse at the hands of then-husband Johnny Depp — but she said Heard once spit in her face when she asked for a higher salary.Heard descended into screaming fits of blind rage, sent incoherent text messages at 4 a.m. and was often drunk and high on illegal drugs, Kate James testified in a video deposition that was played in court Thursday during the trial for Depp's libel suit against Heard.Depp, on the other hand, was very calm, almost shy, "like a total Southern gentleman," James said.The "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor has accused Heard of indirectly defaming him in a 2018 opinion piece that she wrote for The Washington Post.

Tax Day 2022: Deadline to file is Monday — what to know if you need an extension

WASHINGTON - Monday is Tax Day 2022, the federal deadline to file income tax returns and pay taxes owed, and the IRS expects millions of last-minute filings both electronically and through the mail. The IRS said that as of April 8, it had received more than 103 million returns for this tax season. For comparison, last year more than 169 million people completed an income tax return by the end of the year. That probably leaves nearly 40% of this year's taxpayers still unaccounted for, with many scrambling to submit their documents by Monday.Meanwhile, some 15 million taxpayers are expected to request an extension of time to file, according to the agency.
