6) News update because the article is focusing on current news while relating it to how it is affecting the sport. The article is mentioning the upcoming storm that is a popular topic in the news right now and how it is impacting the travel for the West Virginia team who plan to play at the NCAA tournament.

7) An example of how the article handled game scores is when describing the challenges West Virginia was facing about traveling the author changed the topic of the teams that are not facing challenges and described their score. The author briefly talked about Perdue, Villanova, Mountaineers and many more teams competing in the tournament.
"The storm isn’t causing other East Regional teams much consternation. Purdue moved up its departure time by six hours to Wednesday morning. Villanova and Texas Tech’s haven’t changed their travel plans to Boston.
The ›ifth-seeded Mountaineers (26-10) and top-seeded Villanova (32-4) meet Friday night at TD Garden, followed by second-seeded Purdue (30-6) against third-seeded Texas Tech (26-9). A win would give Huggins his fifth berth in the regional finals."
