Wisconsin basketball announces neutral site game against a Big East powerhouse
The Wisconsin Badgers are quietly putting together a phenomenal non-conference schedule for the 2025-2026 season. Earlier this week, the program announced a home-and-home series with BYU starting this winter in Salt Lake City, Utah, with a return game in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 2026-2027. Today, the Badgers announced yet another neutral-site non-conference game, this one against the Villanova Wildcats at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee on December 19th. CBS' Jon Rothstein reports a return matchup at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2026-27.
This matchup would be the first time the Badgers have faced the Wildcats since Wisconsin's upset win in the 2017 NCAA Tournament. The No. 8-seed Badgers defeated the No. 1-seed and reigning national champion Wildcats on a last-second basket from forward Nigel Hayes.

2025-26 will be Kevin Willard's first season as the head coach of the Wildcats after leaving Big Ten rival Maryland after the 2024-25 season. Willard went 2-3 against Wisconsin while coaching at Maryland, most recently defeating the Badgers 76-68 in College Park this past January.
With games against BYU, Marquette, Kansas/Florida/Providence (Rady's Children's Invitational), and now Villanova, Wisconsin's non-conference schedule has become extremely competitive for this upcoming season. It should provide the team a golden opportunity to stack quality wins early in the season.

American Vanguard Reports First Quarter 2025 Results
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 6, 2025-- American Vanguard ® Corporation (NYSE: AVD), a diversified specialty and agricultural products company that develops, manufactures, and markets solutions for crop protection and nutrition, turf and ornamental management and commercial pest control, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. Financial and Operational Highlights – First Quarter 2025 versus First Quarter 2024: Other Operational Highlights: CEO Douglas A. Kaye III stated, 'The first quarter of 2025 presented a challenging environment for suppliers to the global agricultural sector, continuing trends that we have experienced over the past 18-24 months. Against a backdrop of global economic uncertainty and generally high interest rates, customers focused on managing working capital by reducing inventory and limiting procurement to a just-in-time basis. In the face of these conditions, our results for the quarter declined, as compared to last year. While I am pleased with the progress we have made, if market conditions do not improve, we will enact further cost reduction initiatives over the coming quarters. We have made meaningful improvement to our cost structure, but much of that progress is currently being overshadowed in our financial results so far this year by the continued weakness in the agricultural environment.' Mr. Kaye continued, 'The environment is beginning to improve in the second quarter, and, like most industry participants in the agricultural chemical industry, we expect the second half of 2025 to be both seasonally stronger and to benefit from improving customer order rates. We expect to realize the benefit of commercial and operational improvements that are either completed or are well underway. As we continue to transform and simplify this business, future margins will improve, and further margin enhancement in 2026 and beyond is the target.' David T. Johnson, Vice President, CFO and Treasurer, stated 'While the industry recovers from its cyclical downturn, the team has made meaningful improvement to the cost structure. We are pleased with the results from our initial efforts to contain costs and will continue to keep a tight rein on non-essential costs for the foreseeable future. In addition to minimizing operating expenses, we have made significant improvements to our balance sheet. We ended the quarter with total debt of $167 million, which was down from $187 million the prior year. Net working capital decreased to $153 million versus $238 million a year ago. We will continue to focus on strengthening our balance sheet and positioning American Vanguard for a return to growth.' Mr. Kaye concluded, 'I believe that simplifying many of the things we do will allow us to better understand what is important and to deliver against high priority tasks. My message across the organization in this regard is straightforward – SIMPLIFY, PRIORITIZE and DELIVER. If we embrace this mantra, I believe that we can reaffirm American Vanguard's position as a trusted provider of proven agricultural and environmental solutions.'

Technology and Experience in Resonance: BACXN Redefines the Core Value of Crypto Trading
Colorado, USA, June 6, 2025 -- In recent global user surveys, BACXN has received extensive positive feedback regarding 'smooth trading,' 'security and stability,' and 'clear operations.' These voices affirm its development achievements, and remind us that what truly retains users is never mere slogans, but the experience and trust delivered in every transaction. In a highly volatile and fiercely competitive market environment, the ability of a platform to provide stability and certainty at critical moments has become the core standard for measuring professionalism. BACXN remains committed to ensuring that every aspect, from underlying system architecture to user interaction details, serves one goal—to make technology a true guarantee of experience, rather than a source of interference. We believe that all trust should be built on visible performance, verifiable mechanisms, and sustainable security design. An efficient transaction is not just about saving time; it is crucial for strategy execution and cost control. The self-developed high-performance smart matching engine of BACXN can process up to 200,000 orders per second, maintaining smooth performance even under extreme market conditions. Through deeply optimized matching algorithms and path-matching mechanisms, the platform helps users reduce slippage and enhance transaction certainty. On the security front, BACXN has established a dynamic protection system based on a zero-trust architecture. The platform incorporates AI behavior recognition, multi-factor authentication, and device fingerprint identification to monitor and respond to abnormal activities in real time, ensuring full-chain protection from login to asset transfer. The platform guarantees 100% asset reserve coverage and continuously discloses fund status through on-chain Proof of Reserves (PoR). Cold-hot wallet isolation, MPC multi-signature, secure encryption, and quantum-resistant protection have long been integrated into daily operations—not as promotional highlights, but as the standard norm. True security should not rely on a sense of trust, but must be established on verifiable and traceable mechanisms. Behind every successful order and asset arrival is the silent operation of the BACXN system. Our focus is both on technical capability and on whether users feel at ease, experience clarity, and maintain lasting trust. Looking ahead, BACXN will continue to enhance efficiency through technology and safeguard asset security through risk controls, building a long-term connection between the platform and users through a trustworthy experience. We firmly believe this is not only the platform responsibility, but its mission to lead the digital economy into the mainstream.
