Kentucky Football is ramping up its quarterback recruiting efforts in the class of 2027, and one name quickly rising to the top of the board is 3-star Illinois quarterback Jake Nawrot. The 6-foot-4, 190-pound prospect has seen his recruitment heat up, holding offers from programs such as Boston College, Duke, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and others. […]
There’s a great new series on Prime about the ABA called Soul Power: The Legend of the American Basketball Association. It’s a really entertaining series that we heartily recommend. The ABA was a wild ride from beginning to end. Rick Barry was in the league for several years and in the first episode, he talked […]
It certainly seems like Jayson Tatum is going to play basketball for the Boston Celtics at some point this season. There has been no date set yet for a return and Tatum has not said he is going to play this season. Yet, all the signs point to a Tatum return and it could be […]
The streak continues! With a nearly wire-to-wire win over a very good Clemson Tiger team, the Deacs have now won 3 straight games in ACC play. After starting the season just 2-8 in the conference, Wake is now 5-8 and is potentially 1 win away from jumping all the way up to 9th place in […]
After St. John’s went up 22-13 about midway through the first half on Wednesday night at Fiserv Forum, the remainder of the first 20 minutes struck a note of “well, Marquette’s not going away.” The Golden Eagles immediately answered the Johnnies 7-0 run with one of their own to knock the margin back down to […]
For a moment, it appeared that not one, but both of the Big East’s superpowers would be blindsided on Wednesday evening. Earlier that night, Creighton walked out of an incandescent Gampel Pavilion with a convincing 91-84 win over No. 5 UConn. Hundreds of miles away in Milwaukee, St. John’s was also placed on the brink […]
LOS ANGELES — Pure domination. That’s what occurred in the first of Illinois’ two West Coast games this week, as No. 10 Illinois defeated USC 101-65 at the Galen Center in Los Angeles on Wednesday night. After suffering back-to-back overtime losses, it appears Illinois is officially back on track, winning its last two games by […]
The Virginia Cavaliers trounced the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets wire-to-wire Wednesday night in Atlanta, Ga., racing out to a 59-27 halftime lead before eventually winning 94-68. The win was Virginia’s seventh in a row and moved the Cavaliers to 23-3 overall, while Georgia Tech lost its eighth straight to fall to 11-16 on the year. […]
With 16 minutes to go in the second half, Trent Pierce drilled a three-pointer that had Mizzou Arena on its feet Wednesday night. It extended a Tiger lead to 11 points and they never looked back, minus a rocky final two minutes, of course. The team pushed an 81-80 win and sent the top-20 Commodores […]
There have been at least half a dozen times this season when Tommy Lloyd has been asked about Anthony Dell’Orso and if he’s concerned about the senior’s offensive struggles. And every time Lloyd has said he isn’t, and that Delly’s time will come. It came on Wednesday night, when Arizona needed someone to step up […]
The Washington State Cougars snapped their three-game losing streak in a big way on Wednesday night, defeating the Pacific Tigers 87-71. WSU’s (12-16 overall, 7-8 in conference) offense went nuclear, finishing with an absurd 1.403 points per possession, their second-best mark of the season, and splashed 14 three-pointers. What makes the performance even more remarkable […]
Audi Crooks and Jada Williams paced Iowa State’s with 28 and 26 points respectively in Wednesday’s 90-64 win over Arizona State. In her first game since Jan. 4 against Baylor, Addy Brown scored six points, pulled down seven rebounds, dished out six assists and blocked a field goal attempt by Sun Devil forward McKinna Brackens. With […]
In a battle of two teams in the teens of the Big Ten standings, the Northwestern Wildcats (11-16, 3-13 B1G) shook off a five-game losing streak by posting a 78-74 win, topping the Maryland Terrapins (10-16, 3-12 B1G) in their return to Welsh-Ryan Arena. It was a starry night in a back-and-forth affair, with Jordan […]
Andre Mills did everything he could Wednesday night to keep Maryland men’s basketball afloat in the first half. With virtually no help, the redshirt freshman kept Northwestern within striking distance until after break. Seven minutes into the second half, a brief flash of complete basketball saw three different Terps score in succession. Maryland hopped in […]
For the first two months of the season, Clemson was marching towards the NCAA tournament. They raced out to 20-3 (10-1) start, and getting to the big dance began to look like a formality, and then… Clemson started losing, lost another game, and then another. Now at 20-7 (10-4), Clemson would be in the NCAA … Continue reading »
The No. 5 UConn men’s basketball team stumbled in a big way on Wednesday, falling to Creighton 91-84. The Huskies fall to 24-3 and 14-2 in the Big East. Braylon Mullins led with a career-high 25 points, while Tarris Reed added 15 points and 12 rebounds. Silas Demary Jr. chipped in 17 points and nine […]
In their penultimate home game this season at Addition Financial Arena, UCF Knights Women’s Basketball hoped to break a seven-game slump against the Kansas State Wildcats. However, the skid continues after the 93-67 loss to the Wildcats. Harmon and Yancy Out Star player Leah Harmon and starting point guard Summer Yancey were both sidelined with […]
Texas A&M entered Wednesday night on a four-game losing streak, and in danger of moving firmly back into NCAA Tournament bubble territory if that streak continued. And for much of the game, it very much looked like that might happen. The Aggies got down double digits early in the second half, looking like a fatigued […]
UConn women’s basketball shrugged off a bad first half to stave off an upset bid and beat the Villanova Wildcats on Wednesday night, 83-69. With the win, the Huskies clinch the Big East regular season title — their sixth in a row, 25th in the league and 32nd overall. For the first time all year, […]
For the third time this season, No. 10 Ohio State women’s basketball played a game following a loss. This time it was against the No. 23 Minnesota Golden Gophers, a side that recently entered the Associated Press’ top-25 and entered the night with an eight-game winning streak. Minnesota picked up its ninth win in a […]
Twenty-four hours later, the football is still secondary. Real Madrid’s 1–0 victory at the Estádio da Luz should have been remembered for Vinícius Júnior’s brilliant second-half goal and a disciplined away performance in Europe. Instead, the match is now the center of multiple investigations, political involvement, global reactions, and an escalating war of narratives — […]
The 14-game road win streak is over, the 3-game loss streak continues. Wake Forest capitalized on their best shooting half of the year to take control of this game early, leading by as much as 20 points in the first half. The Demon Deacons shot 67% from the field during the first period, while the […]

Kansas looks to start a new winning streak tonight, but they have to do it on the road. OSU has been feisty at times this year, but KenPom ranks them just 64th nationally. Looking at the four factors and other key stats, Oklahoma State doesn’t stand out as particularly good or particularly bad in many […]
Rutgers men’s basketball secured its second win in a row by holding off a late comeback to beat Penn State 85-72. The Scarlet Knights, who had a 20 point lead at one point, saw their lead shrink to single digits around the two and a half minute mark before finding their momentum again late to […]
