How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.

Lady Vols basketball has officially played its way out of hosting the opening rounds of the NCAA Tournament. No. 17 Tennessee (22-9) bowed out in the second round of the SEC tournament last week, and a deep run would have been its only hope to play its way back into the top 16 seeds. The Lady Vols now await their seeding for the NCAA tournament on Selection Sunday (8 p.m. ET, ESPN). Here's where Tennessee stands in the latest March Madness projections. ESPN's Charlie Creme said after Tennessee lost to Vanderbilt, there wasn't a path for it to host as a top-16 seed. The second loss of the season to the Commodores was the Lady Vols' third loss in their final four games before the NCAA tournament. Creme projects Tennessee as a No. 5 seed in Spokane 2, which has UCLA as the No. 1 seed. The Lady Vols would be playing No. 12 seed Grand Canyon at Baylor, which would host as the No. 4 seed and play No. 13 UTSA. The Athletic's Mark Schindler is projecting Tennessee as a No. 5 seed in Birmingham 3, playing at Chapel Hill, North Carolina. No. 4 seed UNC Would host and play No. 13 seed Middle Tennessee. Schindler has UCLA as the No. 1 seed in that region. The Lady Vols have three ranked wins against Iowa, UConn and Alabama. They also have seven wins over teams in the top 40 of the NCAA NET rankings – UConn, Ole Miss, Alabama, Florida State, Iowa, Richmond and Mississippi State. Eight of Tennessee's losses are to teams ranked in the top 25 of the NET. The loss to Georgia is an eyesore on an otherwise strong resume with the Bulldogs ranked 106 in the NET. Tennessee dropped to No. 14 in the NCAA NET rankings. It is 6-8 in Quad 1 games, 4-0 in Quad 2 games, 3-0 in Quad 3 and 9-1 in Quad 4. Five of the Lady Vols losses were to teams ranked in the top 10 at the time – Oklahoma, Texas, South Carolina and LSU twice – and all but one of their losses were by single digits. the 24-point loss at Kentucky was the only loss by more than eight points. VANDERBILT LOSS NO. 2: Kim Caldwell explains Lady Vols' collapse before March Madness, what change she should have made The Lady Vols are the only program never to miss an NCAA Tournament. Tennessee was a No. 6 seed in the 2024 NCAA Tournament, which was its lowest seeding since being a No. 11 seed in 2019. The Lady Vols were a top-16 seed for three straight seasons from 2021-23. They were a No. 3 seed in 2021 and a No. 4 seed in 2022 and 2023. Tennessee made back-to-back trips to the Sweet 16 in 2022 and 2023 for the first time since since 2015 and 2016. The Lady Vols bowed out in the second round last year, losing 79-72 to No. 3 seed NC State. Tennessee has won eight NCAA championships and made 18 trips to the Final Four. All of those happened under coach Pat Summitt, and the last time it did either was in 2008. Cora Hall covers University of Tennessee women's athletics. Email her at and follow her on X @corahalll.

Updated bracketology for LSU women's basketball after loss to Texas
LSU women's basketball was sent home from the SEC Tournament after falling to Texas in the SEC semi-finals. Now, the Tigers await their NCAA Tournament destination. The bracket will be announced on Sunday, March 16. According to ESPN's Charlie Creme, the Tigers are still in position for a No. 2 seed. Creme has LSU hosting No. 15 Southeast Louisiana in the first-round. Also headed to Baton Rouge are Oklahoma State and Nebraska as the No. 7 and No. 10 seeds, respectively. Per Creme, 10 teams from the SEC are in the field. The Big Ten leads with 12 projected teams in the field. Creme has USC as the No. 1 seed in LSU's quarter of the bracket. Duke is the No. 3 seed and Baylor is the No. 4 seed. If Baylor managed to pull an upset, that could position LSU head coach Kim Mulkey against her former squad in the Elite Eight. The No. 6 seed in LSU's quarter of the bracket is Iowa. That sets up another potential Tigers vs. Hawkeyes meeting in March, though it lacks the intrigue of the last two years with Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark in the WNBA. LSU was without Flau'Jae Johnson in the SEC Tournament and star forward Aneesah Morrow left the game vs. Texas in the third quarter, but Mulkey expects LSU to be at full strength when the NCAA Tournament gets underway.
