There is a moment in every season where a player steps forward and makes a claim about who they are and where they are going. For Malachi Moreno and Kentucky Basketball, that happened Saturday against Vanderbilt. Just a few weeks ago, Vanderbilt said they looked at the film and knew they could physically outmuscle Kentucky.

Kentucky Basketball senior guard Otega Oweh didn’t hesitate when asked about the Wildcats’ three-guard lineup featuring himself, senior Denzel Aberdeen, and sophomore Collin Chandler. In fact, Oweh gave the trio a nickname on the spot following Saturday’s 91-77 win over Vanderbilt. “Yeah, we’re the three-headed goat. That’s what we’re calling ourselves,” Oweh exclaimed. “But I […]
Duke has had a banner year to date, and a big part of why it’s been so great is the defense. And there’s a lot to that. Caleb Foster and Isaiah Evans have vastly improved as defenders. Pat Ngongba is seriously underrated as a defender. And of course, Maliq Brown is a brilliant defender who […]
Super-sophomore Olivia Olson started 8-for-8 from the field en route to 28 points that led her No. 8 Michigan Wolverines to an 87-69 statement win over the streaking No. 14 Maryland Terrapins Saturday afternoon in Ann Arbor. The Terps had won six in a row, including road wins over No. 13 Ohio State and No. […]

Rivalry games are tense and dramatic, with the potential to become instant classics. Saturday night at the Thomas & Mack Center was the latter, and the story of the night was Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn. He scored a career-high 42 points, shooting 14-of-22 from the field and an astonishing 8-of-14 from three to carry UNLV to an […]
For about 20 minutes on Saturday night, it looked like the Virginia Tech Hokies would come away with a big-time Quad 1 win against the No. 18 North Carolina Tar Heels in Chapel Hill. The ACC rivals went into halftime tied at 44, but the Hokies got behind early in the second half and never […]
Old Trafford hosts a possible managerial audition on Sunday afternoon, when Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace tackle Manchester United in the Premier League. The Red Devils edged out Everton 1-0 in their last assignment, while the Eagles head north fresh from booking their spot in the last 16 of the Conference League. The Michael Carrick momentum […]
There was so much uncertainty about how St. John’s would respond to their unspeakably awful 72-40 loss to UConn in the lead-up to Saturday’s game against Villanova. By the end of the night, it appeared like the result was always inevitable. As he always seems to pull off following a terrible loss, Rick Pitino worked […]
UNC remained undefeated in Chapel Hill this season with an 89-82 win over Virginia Tech Saturday night.

The Washington State Cougars concluded the 2025-26 regular season with yet another road loss. Tonight it came against the team who will head into the WCC tournament as the 11th seed, the Pepperdine Waves. The Cougars struggled to get anything going offensively and surrendered a heap of offensive rebounds to a team that is among […]
We’ve reached the point in the season where game results have to be scrutinized each day for how it affects the NCAA Tournament. It was not a good Saturday for NCAA bubble teams. Stanford (18-11, 7-9) NET 75 – Stock Slightly Up If Selection Sunday were tomorrow, Stanford would not be in the NCAA field … Continue reading »
The Gophers battled in the second half to take the lead and hold on to a 78-73 win over UCLA. Both teams shot the ball very well, but Minnesota shot over 62% in the second half and surged ahead in the final minutes to upste the Bruins. Bobby Durkin led the way for the Gophers […]
Since Micky Perdue went down early in the Big 12 season, Arizona junior Sumayah Sugapong has taken a lot on her shoulders. The guard did it once again at Utah with a career high 31 points. It just wasn’t enough in the 81-67 loss to end the conference regular season. Consistency was once again a […]
Joshua Jefferson scored a game high 22 points to lead Iowa State (24-5, 11-5 Big 12) but it wasn’t enough as they dropped an 82-73 decision against No. 16 Texas Tech (22-7, 12-4 Big 12) Saturday at Hilton Coliseum. Two other Cyclones scored in double figures, as Milan Momcilovic scored 20 and Ames native […]

After going undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft, the Dallas Mavericks gave point guard Ryan Nembhard a well-deserved chance after leading the NCAA in assists per game with 9.8 during his senior season with the Gonzaga Bulldogs. He finished with a school record 325 total assists in 2024-25. After proving his worth in the NBA […]
Two good things happened in the Huskies’ game against Wisconsin. First, Husky legend Detlef Schrempf’s number 22 took its rightful place in the rafters of Hec Ed, and second, Brandon Roy Jr. scored his first career points in a Husky uniform. The rest was a combination of poor shooting, hot shooting by Wisconsin, and injuries […]
After getting embarrassed in Nashville earlier this season, revenge was firmly on the mind of Kentucky Basketball when the Vanderbilt Commodores traveled to Lexington.

The title race was over, and now it’s even more over. As has been the case far too often over the last decade+, Borussia Dortmund could not overcome their challengers from Bavaria, despite coming out of the first half with a 1-0 lead and tying the game again with less than 10 minutes to play. […]
FIRST HALF ANALYSIS: There was a phenomenal pace to this contest, as the first media timeout didn’t happen until 7 minutes in. Pryce Sandfort would have 6 points for Nebraska in the early stages, while Kam Woods and Chad Baker-Mazara each had 5 for USC. The Trojans would commit a handful of turnovers over the […]
