Former Florida Atlantic point guard Nick Boyd has transferred to San Diego State, the latter school announced Tuesday. Boyd has two seasons of eligibility remaining and was a member of the FAU team that lost to the Aztecs in the memorable 2023 Final Four. "Nick is everything you want in a player," San Diego State coach Brian Dutcher said. "He prioritizes winning first and foremost. He is an elite point guard as both a scorer and playmaker. His ability to score at all three levels, 3-point shot, midrange and at the rim make him very hard to defend." Boyd played in 88 games and made 51 starts in three seasons for the Owls. He averaged 8.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists and made 126 3-point baskets. Last season, Boyd averaged 9.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 27 games (14 starts). He knocked down 42 3-pointers. Boyd made a career-best 68 3-pointers and shot 40 percent from behind the arc in 2022-23, when FAU posted a school-best 35-4 record. The Owls were on the verge of reaching the national title game but San Diego State's Lamont Butler made a game-ending shot to end that dream and push the Aztecs into the championship game. Ironically, Butler just transferred from San Diego State to Kentucky. Boyd made the winning layup with 2.5 seconds remaining in FAU's 66-65 victory over Memphis in the first round of the 2023 NCAA Tournament. That marked the Owls' first-ever NCAA win. --Field Level Media

Columbia University issued a shelter-in-place order Tuesday evening as scores of police officers in riot gear swarmed near the New York campus while protesters continued to occupy a building to demonstrate against the Israel-Hamas war. More than 1,000 protesters have been arrested on campuses in states including Texas, Utah, Virginia, North Carolina, New Mexico, Connecticut, Louisiana, California and New Jersey in recent days. Some of the arrests came after violent clashes with police in riot gear. The White House has condemned the standoffs at Columbia on Tuesday and California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt, earlier in the week.

Netanyahu’s comments came hours before U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrives in Israel to advance the truce talks that appear to be one of the most serious rounds of negotiations between Israel and Hamas since the war began. The deal is meant to free hostages, bring some relief to the population and avert an Israeli offensive into Rafah and the potential harm to civilians there.
