The master tenant of a San Francisco Bay Area warehouse where 36 people perished when a fire ignited during a 2016 dance party pleaded guilty Friday to the deaths, avoiding a second trial after the first ended in a hung jury.

San Francisco chose the option of limiting Corey Kispert’s 3-point looks and the senior wing gave the Dons a heavy dose of his all-around game. The Dons probably won’t be the last to try that tactic, but Kispert is proving there’s much more to his game than a silky 3-point stroke.

Before San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Kendrick Bourne and River Cracraft shared a position group and an opponent – they host the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday in Arizona - they briefly shared a field in Pullman.

The stakes for this season’s finale between fierce NFC West rivals Seattle and San Francisco are far more one-sided than a year ago.

This one looked like most of Gonzaga’s other easy victories so far this season. It didn’t feel like it for most of the first half, particularly when San Francisco closed within three points with just over one minute remaining.
