A state robotics competition was held in Diddle Arena on Saturday. The event was jointly sponsored by WKU’s math and science departments.
NATIONAL:
The Washington Post has a full list of winners from last night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards.
The Pro Bowl was offensive in more ways than one. The NFC beat the AFC in a 55-41 shootout, and two men ran on the field attempting to streak during the game.
St. John’s handed No. 3 Duke its second loss of the season in Madison Square Garden.
Although it’s expected that Bowling Green will see primarily rain, much of the country is bracing for a “historic” snow storm this week.
