Welcome back!
Tonight is the Sharks and there are a few reasons I’m fascinated with this one:
I was in charge of our Mock Draft and drafted Martin Kaut... at the time everyone said I was nuts and he’d be a bust. Well, you were probably right! But I will cheer for him to the end.
Campbell may be the starter and that’s always fun!
Reimer may be starting toni...

The long-time Fighting Irish coach stepped down after the season. The USF men’s basketball coaching search is over after they tabbed former Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey, according to Russ Wood of Rivals.

Leon Draisaitl’s powerplay production has reached new heights this season, and is a major reason why he hit the century mark. Scoring another two goals on Tuesday night against Ottawa, 27-year old Leon Draisaitl reached the 100 point mark for the fourth time in his career. He currently ranks third in the league this season with 44 goals and seventh overall with 56 assists.
Draisaitl now has 716 points in 624 career NHL games - and has established him...

Florida will look to avoid the black mark of a loss to the Knights. If you have a hard time getting up for Florida hosting UCF in the NIT, you probably have at least some sense of how difficult Wednesday night’s game will be for the Gators.
Before whatever subset of the fan base is coming out for a Wednesday night game against the Knights, Florida will try to avoid the ignominy of a first-round exit from the second-best postseason tournament of men’s colle...

The AAC regular season champions head into the tournament with something to prove. The South Florida Bulls women’s basketball team earned the no. 8 seed in the Greensville 1 regional of the 2023 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament where they’ll face No. 9 Marquette on Friday.
The winner will get to face the winner of No. 1 seed South Carolina vs. No. 16 Norfolk State. The Golden Eagles finished 21-10 (13-7 Big East).

Coaching men’s basketball at USF is tough, but you can’t do that.. USF men’s basketball coach Brian Gregory has fired after six seasons in Tampa, according to Jon Rothstein. The Daily Stampede started to hear rumors late yesterday that the decision to fire Gregory was just a matter of when, not if. USF has announced the decision as well.

Going into this weekend, someone asked if I expected a sweep. I said that without Joseph Gonzalez, the offense would have to be on point for that to happen because of Lipscomb’s ability to bash the ball with the middle of their lineup. College baseball is a different animal from any other college sport. This isn’t the name game football is. Heck, it isn’t the name game basketball is.

Shaquille O’Neal became the star of the Orlando Magic franchise as a rookie during the 1992-93 season, but one might argue that in the clutch, no player was more valuable than guard Nick Anderson.
The first-ever draft pick of the Magic, Anderson came through late time and time again that season, including on this day 30 years ago. With less than two seconds remaining, Anderson banked home a 3-pointer to lift Orlando to a thrilling 92-91 victory over the Washington Bullets.
