Health note: gut reactions to be trusted?

Say you have a big decision to make and you have to make it quickly. Your stomach is in knots and you feel nauseous. Is your gut telling you something?

Maybe. There is a direct link between the brain and the gut. There are 100 million neurons lining your digestive tract, according to Harvard Business Review -- more than in the spinal cord. About 95 percent of serotonin and 50 percent of the body's dopamine is processed in the gut, so the gut has the chemistry. So your gut may well be worth listening to.

Basketball: Strong start paces LWC men to win in Classic

Campbellsville, KY - The Blue Raider men's basketball team won for the fourth time in five games on Friday afternoon, defeating Harris-Stowe State (MO) 84-62 to open the Campbellsville Thanksgiving Classic.

Lindsey Wilson was lights out from the field throughout the first half, shooting 71.4 percent and 9-of-14 on three-pointers to help build a 32-point halftime lead. Then, despite the Hornets outscoring the Blue Raiders in the final 20 minutes, the initial onslaught was more than enough to bring Lindsey Wilson back to .500 on the season.

Lindsey Wilson returns to Powell Athletic Center at 1pmCT on Saturday to take on Simmons College of Kentucky.
