Arizona first fielded a baseball team in 1904, and every year since 1946. The program has won four national titles, made the College World Series 19 times and produced hundreds of MLB draft picks. But the Wildcats had never started a season 0-4, until now. The UA lost 3-1 to Nebraska-Omaha on Tuesday night at […]
The Nevada Wolf Pack went 41-14 last year, but a loss to San Diego State in the finals of the Mountain West Softball Tournament was enough to dash their NCAA Tournament hopes. They looked like a team ready to make up for that in a 9-7 midweek loss to the Arizona Wildcats on Tuesday night […]

New York Post | Greg Joyce: Aaron Judge’s barking elbow was a major concern for the Yankees last summer, with the ailment costing the captain some time and production in July and August. But after the season, team doctors told Judge he wouldn’t require surgery, and Judge says his elbow is now fully good to […]
It would be accurate to call Tuesday’s Champions League play-off round first leg between Juventus and Galatasaray a roller coaster ride — albeit one that ended in a Final Destination-style gore-fest. It wasn’t just the way Juventus self-immolated in the second half in Istanbul. It was the complete reversal from both the first half of […]
Update from the bench boss on the trio of injured Dmen.
The Kentucky Wildcats lost at home to the Georgia Bulldogs on Tuesday night by a score of 86-78. The Cats got off to a hot start for once, but the first-half blues hit yet again. This time, Mark Pope’s odd substitution patterns appeared to be the culprit. Kentucky led by as many as eight points […]
and I, for one, blame Rutgers. The first half ended with an abortive run-out by the Ducks concluded with a missed layup, and the Gophers turning that into a half-court possession in the final ten seconds in which some Gopher—and I promise you, I am not going to learn which one it was—put a baseline […]
Sean Marks 10-year tenure as GM of the Brooklyn Nets may be most easily understood through a series of snippets from the NetsDaily archives: June 30, 2019 … 5:13 p.m. ET … The Clean Sweep In a coup with few historic precedents, the Brooklyn Nets will sign Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and DeAndre Jordan in the next few weeks becoming the big […]
©Colette Lewis 2026--Dallas TX--University of Texas head coach Bruce Berque didn't dream that his team would contend for a title at this year's ITA Men's National Team Indoor Championships, and when freshman Kalin Ivanovski delivered a 4-2 victory over top seed Ohio State Tuesday night at SMU's Styslinger/Altec Tennis Complex, securing the Longhorns first Team Indoor title, Berque still couldn't
For the second straight year, the Vancouver Whitecaps will open their season with a trip to Costa Rica, as they open their CONCACAF Champions Cup campaign as Cartaginés on Wednesday. This time, the expectations for the ‘Caps in this competition will be somewhat different, going from “happy to be here” to believing that they will be a genuine threat to win CCC after their trip … Source
What many had proclaimed as one of the biggest matchups in Mackey Arena’s history started off with a bang but quickly turned sour as the Purdue Boilermakers got beat decisively by the Michigan Wolverines. It is the second time this season that Purdue faced a top-10 opponent inside Mackey Arena and the second time they […]
This was a Nebraska-Iowa football game. Low scoring. Low possessions. Iowa getting the home whistle when it mattered. But it was the offensive foul on Reink Mast with 1:02 to go which was one of the worst offensive foul calls I’ve seen in a real long time. Reink Mast was set. And yes, Iowa’s best […]
The Wisconsin Badgers fell short in a big way to the Ohio State Buckeyes on Tuesday evening, losing 86-69 on the road to fall to 18-8 and 10-5 in Big Ten play. It was a big opportunity for the Badgers, who came off a huge week with wins over the Illinois Fighting Illini and Michigan […]
Welcome back, everyone! Whitecaps action is back for 2026, starting with a CONCACAF tie down in Costa Rica against C.S. Cartaginés. The hosts are currently second in the Clausura table and finished third in the Apertura, so this is a side in solid form and well into their season, rather than just getting started. They’re also a low-scoring team with strong defensive numbers, so expect … Source
I’ve been a fan of Michael Lewis’s writing for a long time — back even before “Moneyball” was published in 2003. I’ve read his books and taught his writing in my courses. When the Colorado Rockies announced they were bringing in Paul DePodesta to be their president of baseball operations, my thought were less “You […]
Barcelona’s hunt for a new center-forward in the summer to take over from Robert Lewandowski has led to speculation that the club are keen on Julian Alvarez and Dusan Vlahovic. Alvarez seems unlikely as he’s likely to be out of Barca’s financial reach, but Vlahovic will be available on a free transfer at the end […]
Redshirt freshman forward Lauren Whittaker has now won 11 of the 15 West Coast Conference Freshman of the Week awards in the 2025-26 season. After failing to do so the previous week, she came back to average a double-double with 14.5 points on a 63.2 shooting percentage, 10.0 rebounds, and 2.0 steals per game during […]
The Virginia Tech Hokies had an opportunity for their second Quad 1 win in a week on Thursday at Miami. It was a chance for Tech to put Saturday’s ugly home loss to Florida State behind them. Unfortunately, it turned out to be another heartbreaking last-second loss, as the Hurricanes came away with a 67-66 […]

The Ohio State men’s basketball team (17-9, 9-6) walked into the gym Tuesday for a late-night battle with the 24th-ranked Wisconsin Badgers (18-8, 10-5) on the outside of the NCAA Tournament picture. As of Tuesday morning, the Buckeyes were listed as the second team out of the big dance, according to the Bracket Matrix, which […]
Michigan State started this one off with strong defense and forced UCLA into some tough midrange shots that they somehow got to fall early before a Jordan Scott three got the Spartans on the board. Coen Carr welcomed Xavier Booker back to the Breslin Center with a quick baseline dunk with an assist from Jaxon […]
I hope these ducks don’t twip on a quack.
With much fanfare and even bigger drama, Nicolas Jackson joined Bayern Munich on loan in the summer, with Bayern paying around €15m just in loan fees and also negotiating an additional €65m clause to make his signing permanent. Pretty good wheeling and dealing by Chelsea, no? Alas, that clause soon turned out to be a […]
Canada breezed through the preliminary round, going 3-0, outscoring Czechia, Switzerland and France 20-3 and outshooting them 121-65. They were expected to dominate, and they did, but now they enter the playoff round and another date with Czechia. The Czechs defeated Denmark 3-2 yesterday, and they will be looking for a better performance than their…
