Villanova’s backcourt has been inconsistent over the course of the season — and this includes Devin Askew off the bench. The sixth-year transfer has struggled to find his shot in recent weeks, but when the team needed it the most, Askew stepped up. Leading 59-57 in the second half, Askew knocked down a three before […]
This one had the makings of some frustrating games of the past. Big game with stakes on both sides but Iowa no shows the start while an opponent gets hot. The Hawkeyes are constantly clawing back but can never climb the mountain, stuck in mud most of the day. After John Mobley, Jr. made his […]
Manchester United’s resurgence in the new year has also seen the resurgence of midfielder Bruno Fernandes, the club talisman who is back in his natural No. 10 role and pulling the strings in United’s attack. The Portuguese attacker became a club centurion earlier this season, scoring his 100th goal in all competitions for the Reds, […]
It was a bad sign for how Marquette women’s basketball was going to handle their regular season home finale when they went into the second quarter trailing 18-14. A Skylar Forbes layup in the final minute of the opening 10 minutes broke up a 9-0 Xavier run to jump out to a six point lead, […]
The Ohio State Buckeyes (17-11, 9-8) started the first five minutes strong at Iowa (20-8, 10-7), but that was about it as Iowa finished the first half on a 35-9 run and ran away with a 74-57 win on Wednesday night at Carver Arena. The Buckeyes musical chairs of starters continued in this one, as […]

Rutgers women’s basketball delivered one of its strongest first-half efforts of Big Ten play Wednesday night and carried a halftime lead in its home finale, but Indiana seized control after the break to hand the Scarlet Knights a 79–69 loss at Jersey Mike’s Arena. Rutgers led for much of the opening half and matched Indiana’s […]
Wednesday night’s game had all of the trappings of a closely-contested battle of ranked heavyweights at the top of the Big East. No. 15 St. John’s was riding the high of a 13-game winning streak, while sixth-ranked UConn was looking for revenge after their defeat to the Johnnies three weeks ago. What instead transpired inside […]
FIRST HALF ANALYSIS: This one didn’t quite start off as ugly for Nebraska as the 14-1 deficit against Purdue, but it certainly wasn’t pretty in the slightest. Maryland opened up the game 6-0 over the first 5:43 of the game (you read that right). Nebraska would counter with a 7-0 run over a 48 second […]
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Shauna Green’s team is peaking at the right time. Illinois (19-8, 9-7 Big Ten) is coming off of three straight dominant wins against Wisconsin, Rutgers and Northwestern, but will have some tougher competition to end the regular season. “We’ve grown a lot from these games,” said sophomore Berry Wallace. “[It will] just […]
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The Illini have been on a tear as of late, winning each of their last three games and doing so by an average margin of 23 points. They have done this without the help of one of their stars, redshirt sophomore Gretchen Dolan. Head coach Shauna Green had been hoping to get […]
There is no way to sugar coat this one—that was a very bad loss to a very bad Boston College team. On a night where Juke Harris goes off for 38 points, the Deacs got nothing from basically everyone else and lost on a last second tip in to the second worst (by NET) major […]
Maryland men’s basketball has found itself in plenty of close games over the past few weeks. Four of its last five were decided by seven points or less, and the Terps won three of them.

No. 14 Maryland women’s basketball has caught fire at the perfect time. At the end of January, Maryland had a losing Big Ten record. The outlook on the season was bleak.

We got late word that Labaron Philon will indeed sit out tonight’s game against the Bulldogs. Alabama basketball will sit Labaron Philon for its game against Mississippi State. The sophomore point guard appeared on the SEC availability report as questionable when it first published ahead of the matchup, but his status changed to out on Wednesday, […]
On Wednesday evening, Boston College defeated Wake Forest 68-67. It was an ugly first five minutes for both teams.

The acceptances are out for the ITF J300 San Diego North American Regional Championships, which begin March 16 at the Barnes Tennis Center.
