NEW YORK (AP) — Patrick Ewing walked off the court alone Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden, the site of his greatest moments as both an NBA player and Georgetown’s coach, after another blow out loss that might have been his final game leading the Hoyas.Last-place Georgetown (7-25) was eliminated by sixth-seeded Villanova 80-48 in the first round of the Big East Tournament. School officials have given no indication of whether Ewing will be back for a seventh season, but he fell to 75-109 as coach of the program he lead to three Final Fours and a national title as player. “No thoughts about my future,” Ewing said. “The (last) two season’s been rough. Disappointed in the outcomes of these last two years. My future’s in the hands of our president and our AD and the board of the directors.”Athletic director Lee Reed declined to comment on Ewing’s status.“My thoughts are with those kids right now,” Lee said outside of the Georgetown locker room. “It’s ...

Tokyo and Hong Kong advanced. Oil prices edged lower.Wall Street’s benchmark S&P 500 index recovered some of the previous day’s loss following Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell’s warning rate hikes might speed up because upward pressure on prices is stronger than expected.Investors worry the Fed and other central banks look increasingly likely to tip the global economy into at least a brief recession to extinguish stubborn inflation. U.S. inflation rose to 5.4% in January over a year earlier from December’s 5.3% — well above the Fed’s target of 2%.“The risks of a higher and faster hike trajectory have risen,” Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management said in a report.

McCollum scored 13 of his 32 points in the final four minutes and the Pelicans held off the Dallas Mavericks 113-106 on Wednesday night.“No excuse, just produce. Figure out a way to get the job done.
