The TCU women’s basketball team has another first-round draft selection and she’s now the highest draft pick in program history. All-American and All-Big 12 guard Olivia Miles, who led the Horned Frogs to a Big 12 title and a second consecutive Elite Eight appearances, was taken by the Minnesota Lynx with the No. 2 overall […]
The Chicago Blackhawks turned in another sloppy, turnover-filled mess on Monday night, falling 5-1 to the Buffalo Sabres in their second-to-last game of the season. At least it’s almost over. The Blackhawks opened the scoring just over four minutes into the game. Ilya Mikheyev intercepted a pass from Rasmus Dahlin, skated the puck out before passing it ahead to Ryan Greene, and Greene flipped it upstairs for a shorthanded goal. GOAL: Ryan Greene with a shorthanded goal to open t...
What happens when you solve a problem with another problem? Adam Silver and the NBA’s campaign to abolish the practice of tanking has creased another wrinkle, as the newest proposal to cure professional basketball of its blood-sucking parasite has been revealed to the public. Their solution? Eliminate the incentive to tank by completely erasing the […]
As the Minnesota Vikings complete the last of their prospect meetings ahead of the NFL Draft beginning April 23rd, it was reported that the Vikings hosted tight end Kenyon Sadiq for a Top 30 visit. This is perhaps a bit more notable than other Top 30 visits because Sadiq is expected to be drafted in […]
I guess Cassandre Prosper knew what shew was doing after all. Shortly after the Notre Dame Women’s Basketball team’s season was ended with an Elite 8 loss, Prosper announced that she was forgoing her final year of eligibility at Notre Dame to enter the WNBA Draft. While a lot of people looked at this as […]
The Utah Jazz season is over, and today was the media availability. Here are some of the most interesting quotes from today. Kevin Love “I’ve had a truly great experience here… Me and Jusuf Nurkic would be back here in an instant.” This is a great sign for those that want Jusuf Nurkic back. It’s […]
The Portland Trail Blazers went 2-1 this par week, losing to the San Antonio Spurs to start and then taking down the Los Angeles Clippers and Sacramento Kings to clinch the 8th seed in the Western Conference. With a stretch of incredibly important games, each standout performance was more important than normal. Plenty of players […]
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant has been upgraded to questionable to play against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday in the NBA Play-In Tournament, as he continues to recover from a right calf strain, the organization announced. Grant has missed Portland’s previous seven games after injuring his calf in a matchup against the Dallas Mavericks […]
Flau’Jae Johnson’s time as a member of the Golden State Valkyrie lasted about as long as it took me to write this report. Johnson was selected in the first round, 8th overall, of Monday night’s WNBA Draft by the Golden State Valkyrie; her draft right were subsequently traded to the Seattle Storm for the rights […]
After the 2024 Paris Olympics concluded, I wrote a piece entitled “Age does not defeat joy, even in sports“. I talked about how some of the “senior members” of the USA Olympic basketball teams, and in particular, Steph Curry and LeBron James, had conquered the world joyfully. For me, that same word “joy” describes the […]
While the season is over for Ohio State women’s basketball, the WNBA starts soon. On Monday, the league held its college entry draft, and for the fourth season in a row it included a Buckeye. The Los Angeles selected Cincinnati, Ohio native Chance Gray with the No. 24 in the second round, becoming the fifth […]
Head down to the comments to talk about Monday’s game against the Sabres! Game Preview
If you go looking through the Knicks’ biggest playoff rivals, the Hawks aren’t the first matchup that comes to mind. They’re not Miami, they’re not Indiana, and they haven’t been a consistent playoff opponent at all. In fact, it’s a pretty rare matchup. But when these two teams do meet in the postseason, it usually […]
It was weird getting to zone out last night. Over the years I’ve been pretty open about my tendency to do this when the game gets out of hand for the Spurs, but (for the most part) I just wasn’t able to disengage like that this season. That is, I think, one of the biggest […]
The San Antonio Spurs had the opportunity to control the playoff bracket. If they defeated the Denver Nuggets, who sat the bulk of their starters and only played Nikola Jokic 18 minutes, they’d bump them down to the fourth-seed, and wouldn’t need to face them until the Western Conference Finals. Instead, the Spurs, without Victor […]
It turned out pretty good the last time Arizona added a transfer guard from North Carolina. Maybe lightning will strike twice. The Wildcats have gotten a commitment from former UNC guard Derek Dixon, their second transfer pickup on Monday alongside ex-Washington guard JJ Mandaquit. The 6-foot-5 Dixon played 33 games for the Tar Heels as […]
David Carle has done it again. He's led the Denver Pioneers to their third NCAA men's hockey title in the last five years. His coaching resume is as good as it gets for a bench boss without any NHL experience. He turned down a $25 million opportunity a year ago to take the reins of the Chicago Blackhawks, prefering to stay in Denver. Will he get some more NHL teams sniffing around yet again after his third national championship in this dominant run? Insider Elliotte Friedman figures he w...
BYU added its second transfer portal commitment as Syracuse Forward Tyler Betsey is transferring to BYU. Travis Branham of 247 Sports first had the news. Listed at 6-foot-8 and 225 pounds, Tyler is a floor stretcher that can play either the wing or at the stretch four. As a sophomore this past season while averaging […]
Everyone loves a best-case scenario. Well, folks, Houston Rockets fans (finally) have one. Why finally? It’s been a challenging 2025-26 season. Fred VanVleet was down from the onset. Steven Adams didn’t take too long to follow. Without a pair of players whom the Rockets saw as integral to their game plan, there were times when […]
The transfer portal in basketball is just as nuts as it is in football. Perhaps even more since there are less roster spots demanding a bigger piece of the pie. Hell, it’s been reported that the Louisville men just paid two guys almost $10 million combined to come there. I am not sure if the […]
Former Manchester United and France defender Patrice Evra has issued a dire taunt to Barcelona fans hoping their team can make it past Atlético Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. In quotes collected by Diario SPORT, the outspoken former left-back says: “Listen, Barcelona fans need to wake up and face reality. I see […]
