The beginning of a baseball season is one that is full of unknown. How are all of the changes made over the offseason going to take? How will those new players take to their new surroundings in Philadelphia? Then the games are played and all of that goes out the window. Who made good impressions, […]
The Lakers surged in the second half on the shoulders of Luka Dončić and Marcus Smart to take the 115-107 win over the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night. It was an offensive showdown early. Denver was a perfect 5-5 from the field, while Los Angeles was shooting at 80%. Luka couldn’t miss and was in […]
Offense? Great. Defense? Great. Everything was on point and clicking for Nevada tonight against one of the conference’s rougher teams in San Jose State, leading to an 87-54 win over the Spartans at Lawlor. The threes were flying for the Pack and the defense held the team tight. All around, not much to complain about […]
The Chicago Bulls edged their way back towards a .500 record tonight with a resounding 138-110 victory against the visiting LA Clippers. Ultimately, a pace-and-space Chicago squad missing Josh Giddey throttled a halfcourt-heavy, heliocentric Clippers club without Kawhi Leonard. The Bulls rained down a season-high tally of triples and enjoyed a pass-happy approach to improve to a thoroughly mediocre 21-22 record on the year. Coby White , even playing on a minutes restriction, looked l...
Another injury has hit the Lakers’ roster with Deandre Ayton hurting his left eye in the middle of LA’s road game against Denver. Ayton suffered the injury during the first half and did not return at the start of the third quarter. Initially, the Lakers listed him as questionable to return, but he was officially […]
San Jose State’s long, winding road for consistency continued Tuesday night in Reno, as Nevada (14-5, 6-2 MW) delivered an emphatic 87–54 win over the Spartans inside Lawlor Events Center, a venue that has rarely been forgiving to visiting teams and proved no different this time. The Spartans (6-13, 10-7 MW) came in short-handed once […]
The Mets, continuing their roster overhaul after their disastrous 2025, agreed to a trade with the White Sox for center fielder Luis Robert Jr on Tuesday night. The Mets are sending two young players to the South Side of Chicago in return, one we have seen a lot of in Luisangel Acuña, and one that […]
If there's one thing that I enjoy more than anything when doing radio, it's participating at live events. Live radio has a certain unpredictability to it that is unlike anything else except for live television, and it's that unpredictability that makes covering events a bit of a thrill. It is with great honour that UMFM has been invited to cover the 2026 Female World Sport School Challenge once again, and we are proud to working with the great people at Balmoral Hall School to bring these broa...
The Kansas State Wildcats got 71 points from its starting guards to beat Utah 81-78 Tuesday night in Bramlage Coliseum. Without the services of Abdi Bashir Jr. and Khamari McGriff, who both missed the game with injuries, the Wildcats (10-9, 1-5 Big 12) had to rely on P.J. Haggerty, David Castillo, and Nate Johnson to […]
James Franklin has almost completely filled every position on his first Virginia Tech coaching staff. The one remaining full-time position was the safeties coach. The Hokies recently hired Anthony Midget as the cornerbacks coach. The hiring was weeks in the making, but Midget, who was an assistant for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was still coaching up […]
CJ Cox’s last second three hit the front of the rim, and bounced harmlessly away as Purdue falls for the first time in the Big Ten, 69-67 to the UCLA Bruins. Behind a 23 point Donovan Dent performance, the Bruins were able to knock off the #4 Purdue Boilermakers. It is just Purdue’s second loss […]
We do some close reading of the new New York City FC Sporting Director's first statements to the press and wonder if one of his first moves will be sending winger Julián Fernández to a South American club on loan.
MLB.com | Mike Petriello: The elections of Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones to the National Baseball Hall of Fame has re-stoked recent discussions about the strength of this year’s class, with the perception among some being that this is a comparatively weak group of players to gain entry to Cooperstown. To vet this perception, Petriello […]
There was a time, maybe three years ago, when this would have been seriously gigantic news. Back in 2023, Luis Robert Jr. hit 38 HRs en route to a 4.9 WAR season as a 25-year-old center fielder, just a few successful seasons into a six-year, $50M deal with the White Sox. A budding star in Chicago for a team with slowly decaying, but still lofty hopes. But things have fallen sufficiently far the last two years for both the White Sox and Luis Robert Jr. (just 210 games combined, 84 wRC+, 1.3 WAR...
Arizona women’s basketball head coach Becky Burke has talked about how it feels like her team takes a step forward then several steps back. That was the case again when Kansas came to town on Tuesday evening and walked out with an 80-69 victory. “I’m frustrated,” Burke said. “I don’t like losing. I hate, I […]
Missouri men’s basketball has faced plenty of ups and downs over its first six games of conference play. The Tigers provided a crucial boost to their tournament hopes by recording wins over quality opponents in Florida, Kentucky and Auburn. But MU also suffered letdown road losses against struggling Ole Miss and LSU teams, tempering hopes […]
The Utah Jazz win a close one against the Minnesota Timberwolves, with a final score of 122-127. This marks the first time the Jazz have won without Lauri Markkanen this season. After a stretch of uncompetitive games, the Jazz played Minnesota wire-to-wire, led by Keyonte George’s career night. George finished with 43 points and three […]
The Indiana Pacers (10-34) go up against the Boston Celtics (26-16) on Wednesday, January 21, 2026 at TD Garden. It tips at 7:30 p.m. ET on FDSIN, NBCS-BOS, and WTHR-13. In their last outing on Monday, the Celtics suffered a 104-103 loss to the Pistons. The Pacers are coming off of a 113-104 loss to the 76ers in their most recent outing on Monday.

The Brooklyn Nets (12-29) will attempt to break a five-game road losing streak at the New York Knicks (25-18) on Wednesday, January 21, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Knicks head into this contest after a 114-97 loss to the Mavericks on Monday. The Nets enter this game after a 126-117 loss to the Suns on Monday. In the loss, Jalen Brunson paced the Knicks with 22 points. The Nets got a team-leading 23 points from Michael Porter Jr. in the loss. When is Knicks vs. Nets? This game between the K...
One possible question coming into this game may have been Michigan State’s ability to focus after a nice win at Washington and against a hurting Oregon team who had to play without injured starters Jackson Shelstad and Nate Bittle. That question seemed to be put to rest early on before it wasn’t. Oregon struggled to […]
It’s a pretty exciting time for the San Francisco Giants and the Hall of Fame. Sure, Barry Bonds and Duane Kuiper have been passed over more times than I was anytime we picked teams for any sport at the playground. But in December, Jeff Kent was elected to the hall by the Contemporary Baseball Era […]
David Luiz is, unironically, one of my favorite Chelsea players of all time, and on Wednesday night, he will return to Stamford Bridge, and receive (hopefully) the hero’s welcome that he deserves. Of course, It won’t be the first time the now 38-year-old real life video game character returns since leaving (for the second time) […]
The San Antonio Spurs’ tour into Houston was a failure because they got satisfied with their work late and lost interest in guarding the 3-point line. It was their second matchup of the season with the Rockets, and now they are even with two outings to go. The first quarter ended with a 39-28 lead, […]
The game didn’t get on air until about 5 minutes had elapsed and it felt like neither team could really get in the groove all game. The Iowa Hawkeyes (14-5, 4-4) got to .500 in conference play in a 68-62 slog over the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (9-10, 2-6). Bennett Stirtz led the Hawks with 20 […]
The Red Storm have spent the last few weeks dispelling the narratives about their team and winning in different ways since their defeat against Providence. St. John’s showed that they can dominate for 40 minutes against Marquette and Creighton, or explode with big second-half scoring runs against Butler and Villanova. On Tuesday night against Seton […]
Rutgers lost the second game of their road trip to Iowa 68-62. Despite the Scarlet Knights leading for a decent portion of the game, their poor ball handling and inability to score off the turnovers they caused ultimately led to their downfall. Rutgers would start the game on the attack, as Kaden Powers would open […]
