KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Funeral directors are frustrated and families are devastated as precautions put in place to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 are 163

It was a long year for the Virginia Cavaliers after becoming the first No. 1 seed ever to lose in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The 2018 loss proved to Virginia that you cannot take anything for granted. Fast forward to 2019, Virginia was back in the NCAA Tournament again as a No. 1 seed. This time, Virginia took care of business. Virginia won in its first ever National Championship appearance, defeating No. 3 seed Texas Tech of the Big 12 Conference, winning by a 85-77 margin in overtime.Virginia was powered by an 11-0 run in overtime. Virginia hit all 12 of its free throws in overtime. The loss to UMBC in 2018 was on everyone's mind throughout this March Madness."Heard about it a lot, and we knew that," Virginia coach Tony Bennett said. "I feel like I repeat myself too much. In a way, it's a painful gift. It did draw us nearer to each other as a team. I think it helped us as coaches. I think it helped the players on the court and helped us in the other areas that rely on things that were significant."I think that karmic payback, I don't know. I knew it was going to be a significant year in all of our lives. I knew that going into this year because of what was going to be coming at us because of that from a basketball standpoint. So I just knew we needed each other."Virginia nearly repeated history, as it trailed by 14 in the first round of its tournament opener three weeks ago. Then Virginia nearly got knocked out of the tournament in the Elite 8 against Purdue on March 30, but a late comeback gave Virginia an overtime win. And on Saturday, Virginia converted on a controversial call to defeat Auburn by one to advance to Monday's title game. This Virginia team continued to persevere.On Monday, Virginia had a 32-29 lead at halftime, and would lead by as much as nine in the second half. Texas Tech went on a 7-0 run to tie the game at 59-all with 3:58 left. After trading free throws, Virginia led 65-61. But a huge by Texas Tech helped spark a 7-0 run. But with the game tied at 68, Texas Tech's Jarrett Culver had his shot blocked at the end of regulation, forcing overtime. 2129

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A bill passed by the Missouri House would allow school districts to offer Bible study as an elective class.The bill, HB 267, would allow schools to teach the Bible from a historic perspective. The Bible history class could then be offered as an elective class at public high schools.The bill passed the House and is now in the state Senate. The lawmaker who proposed the law, Rep. Ben Baker (R-Neosho), is from southwest Missouri and works for a religious-affiliated college.If approved by the Senate and governor, a social studies teacher would teach the course. It would be up to individual school districts to offer the class as an elective.The current law allows for books like the Bible to be used as a reference in the classroom. This proposal would make the class solely about the Bible.“I think it is a really bad idea,” said Chase Peeples, the pastor at Kansas City United Church of Christ. “If it is my kid, who is teaching about the Bible and what perspective are they coming from? Why aren’t other sacred texts like the Quran or the Hindu text, Buddhist text? Which type of Christian is going to teach what interpretation of the Bible?”“If it is a subject matter that is offering education about an important piece of literature, it should not be prohibited,” Stephen Shields said.“Public schools should not be focused on religious education, I think there are basics a student should be learning in public school and religion is not one of them,” Bill Carriger said. 1510

It will only have been six days from when the remaining top Democratic presidential candidates met in Nevada, but there is plenty at stake in Tuesday’s debate. The debate marks the final time the candidates will be on the same stage before next week’s Super Tuesday, when nearly one-third of all delegates will be decided. Tuesday’s debate is also coming off the most-watched Democratic debate in any nominating contest. Will even more Americans watch on Tuesday before making their final decision? Before Super Tuesday comes a very important South Carolina Primary this Saturday, where former Vice President Joe Biden is in desperate need of a good performance. When: Tuesday, Feb. 24, 8-10:15 p.m. ETHow to watch: CBS, CBSNews.comThe candidatesFormer Vice President Joe BidenFormer New York City Mayor Michael BloombergFormer South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete ButtigiegMinnesota Sen. Amy KlobucharVermont Sen. Bernie SandersBusinessman Tom SteyerMassachusetts Sen. Elizabeth WarrenQualificationsCandidates earned at least 10% support in four national polls, or 12 percent in three South Carolina polls, or have at least one national delegate pledged from the Iowa, New Hampshire or Nevada primaries.Tuesday’s debate marks the second debate that has lifted the requirement to meet fundraising thresholds. This is what allowed Bloomberg and Steyer to enter the debate.Steyer was left off the debate stage last week, but his strong polling in the South Carolina primary has put him back onto the debate stage. Who isn’t on the stageOnly one Democrat still in the race, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who last participated in a debate in October, will be left off the stage. Coming out of NevadaSanders earned a huge win in Nevada on Saturday, claiming 24 out of 36 national delegates. Nevada has placed Sanders as the clear frontrunner going into Saturday’s race in South Carolina. It also stopped the momentum of former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who had been leading Sanders in the national delegate count. Buttigieg only earned three delegates on Saturday. South Carolina comes firstThe South Carolina primary on Saturday is one of the upmost importance to Biden. His fledgling campaign struggled in the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire Primaries. While he managed to finish second in Nevada, he only claimed nine of the 36 delegates up for grabs. But South Carolina could be where Biden either regains his momentum, or where his campaign dies. South Carolina is the largest state so far to have a nominating race (56 delegates). It is also a state where Biden still holds a lead over Sanders and the field, although Biden now holds a more narrow lead in the polls.A NBC News poll shows Biden leading Sanders 27-23, while a CBS News poll has Biden up 28-23. While Biden will likely not catch Sanders on Saturday, it could give him much-needed momentum going into the most important day of the race. Then comes Super TuesdayNext week marks the biggest night on the calendar. As voters in 14 states (and American Samoa) go to the polls next Tuesday, 1,334 delegates will be at stake. Among the top prizes for next week’s race will be California (415 delegates) and Texas (228 delegates). A KGTV poll had Sanders leading the state with 25%, with Bloomberg at 21% and Biden at 15%. In Texas, a University of Houston Poll had Sanders and Biden tied with 20% of the vote. Bloomberg flat in first debateBloomberg participated in his first debate of the cycle, and his own campaign staff agreed the candidate had a slow start in the debate. The early minutes of the debate featured attacks from other candidates on his handling of “Stop and Frisk” as well as sexual harassment claims. Warren in particular took Bloomberg to task for not allowing employees bound by non-disclosure agreements to speak out. Last Friday, Bloomberg announced he would allow several women to exit from their NDAs if requested. It is hard to gauge how much last week’s debate will impact his numbers, and the fact he’ll have another debate before Super Tuesday gives him an opportunity to negate some of the damage. Eyes on SandersWith Sanders now clearly the frontrunner, Democrats may shift their focus and attacks on Sanders. They could have some fodder, too. On Sunday, Sanders said on CBS’ “60 Minutes” that "it's unfair to simply say everything is bad" about former Cuban President Fidel Castro’s reign over Cuba.Those comments drew some criticism from one of Biden’s advisers.There is also the issue of electability, one that has become more of a focus as Sanders climbs the poll while maintaining a liberal stance on the issues. The candidates could also be looking to slow down Sanders enough to make it challenging for him to reach 1,990 delegates before July's Democratic National Convention. A failure to earn 1,990 delegates before the convention forces a second round of voting, and allows hundreds of Democratic Party leaders a chance to be involved in the nomination. 4957

It's looking more and more likely that the United States soon could face its first tropical threat in the young 2019 hurricane season.On Sunday, the National Hurricane Center increased the chance to 50% that a system could develop in the Gulf by the middle of the week. Depending on your computer model of choice, the ensuing system could pose trouble -- or worse -- from the Florida panhandle to southern Louisiana.While it's still too early to tell if this system will get strong enough to be named (that would be Barry, by the way), more interesting is "how" this could all come about.For the most part, meteorologists vigilantly scan the Gulf or Atlantic Ocean from June to November for signs that low pressure systems are developing with the potential to strengthen.Turns out that average date of 814
