In addition to my work covering Syracuse basketball on here, I cover mid-major basketball for our sister site, Mid-Major Madness. I have a focus on the MAAC and other northeast mid-majors. I’ve covered new Syracuse head coach Gerry McNamara extensively during his two seasons at Siena. Here are some of the stories I wrote about […]
The easy answer is both. However, let’s review where UNC sits financially at the moment. We ran a $15 million deficit last cycle. Chancellor Lee Roberts insists it was a one-time thing, but it still indicates that we don’t have a reserve fund to handle new and unexpected expenses. We just dropped $46+ million on […]
When you’re the starting quarterback of an NFL team, your time is precious. Everyone wants a piece of that limited resource, particularly in the offseason when there’s more to go around. That’s the case for Jordan Love of the Green Bay Packers, who has plenty of commitments this spring. On Thursday, Love was in Milwaukee […]
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers are 0-1. Kennedi Landry has notes on a loss in which the Rangers offense got going too late. Jeff Wilson writes that two bad pitches doomed Nathan Eovaldi and the Rangers in Philadelphia. Evan Grant says at least the offense didn’t roll over and die, which was too often the […]
The first full day of the 2026 MLB season is in the books, and it couldn’t have gone much better for the Phillies. They won 5-3, got big home runs from Kyle Schwarber and Alec Bohm, got an ace like performance from Cristopher Sánchez, saw Justin Crawford collect two hits, and saw Jhoan Duran come […]
By the end of Volume 8, the Bucks got lower than Lil’ John & the Eastside Boyz in 2002. As you can imagine, Volume 9 has more of the same. But there are moments—glinting in the dark—that suggest 2025-26 is a passing cloud rather than a never-ending well. Let’s recap. vs. Suns Suns vs. Bucks. […]
In Today’s Links: the Seattle Seahawks have done well by not drafting a QB in the first round of the draft, taking a look at our squad’s offseason plans, so far; a bit of background on Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rob Staton takes a look into his crystal ball, and a little bit more. Happy Friday. How […]
Indiana men’s basketball is going to need plenty of additions through the transfer portal this offseason as head coach Darian DeVries launches his second roster reload in as many seasons in Bloomington. We’ll be looking to get ahead of some targets here with brief profiles if there’s an established connection to Indiana, DeVries or his […]

After undergoing a five-game losing streak, the Miami Heat finally snapped their skid on the road versus the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. Now, both squads are set for their second straight matchup and rematch following the Heat’s 120-103 win the other night. This will be the fourth and final game between the two teams for […] The post GAME PREVIEW: Heat aiming to win back-to-back matchups versus Cavs in Cleveland appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

It’s certainly possible that the Los Angeles Rams draft a wide receiver early in the upcoming NFL Draft. Whether it’s wanting to get someone to back up Davante Adams, wanting someone to backup Puka Nacua, or to get a player who can help L.A. right away, it appears that the Rams have a number of […]
Welcome to The Link Farm. This is your update on all things Texas A&M (that we didn’t already talk about in another article). And if there’s something we missed, be sure to talk about it in the comments.

Nikita Kucherov has done something remarkable over the last three months, and he did it very quietly. The Tampa Bay Lightning winger got off to a slow start this season, and was as many as 22 points behind the NHL scoring lead. He then went on a 95-point run over a 45-game stretch, the most by any player in a 45-game span since Mario Lemieux in 1995-96, and has now pulled even with Connor McDavid atop the scoring race at 121 points apiece. He's the betting favorite to win the Hart ...
Daniil Tarasov finished with 47 saves, but couldn’t make the final stop as the Florida Panthers fell 3-2 to the Minnesota Wild at Amerant Bank Arena when Joel Eriksson Ek converted a rebound chance with five seconds left in regulation. After a scoreless first period that saw a otherworldly 19-save performance from Tarasov, the WIld finally broke through when Yakov Trenin took an entry pass from Jeff Petry and then drove to the net before setting up Marcus Foligno in the slot for the goal ...
By far, the most influential person in the history of sports statistics is Bill James. He focused mainly on baseball, but there are some concepts that are portable to other sports. One of those concepts is the concept of similarity scores. The idea was to look at players across the different category and find the […]
Carlos Lagrange is a fascinating prospect. The 22-year-old, owner of a slightly deceiving 4.96 Grapefruit League ERA, was amazing all spring despite that late stinker in which he allowed eight runs in 2.2 innings earlier this week. And we’re not just talking about his performance in games. Evidently, he put in the work in the […]
For the first time since the year 2000, the Virginia Cavaliers women’s basketball team will take the floor in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet Sixteen. The ‘Hoos, who have become the talk of the college basketball world this week after shocking second-seeded Iowa on Monday afternoon, are the first women’s team ever to advance past the […]
Repeat after me: it is only one game. It is only one game. It is only one game. In all seriousness, while Thursday afternoon’s game was not the start we wanted, it does demonstrate a continuation of last year’s team. If the Astros are ultimately unsuccessful it will be because they didn’t hit enough. We […]
We’ve always talked about baseball being something of the long game played to beat averages. This season, the Hokies are searching for something that gets them far enough above .500 to be relevant. The post 2025 season was a bit difficult for the Hokies. Long time pitching and assistant coach Ryan Fecteau was replaced by […]
The Miami Heat are currently leaning on their “quiet killers” to navigate the brutal stretch leading into the postseason. While the headlines usually belong to the stars, we at hothothoops.com know that championship runs are often decided by the bench players who handle the dirty work without complaint. Finding these undervalued assets requires a sharp […] The post Under-the-Radar Assets: Role Players Key to Playoff Run appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
As the NHL enters a new economic period and its franchises sort out the best practices, the ground feels unsteady underfoot. Across the board, a league that has largely operated in a flat or minimally growing labor market now has franchises flush with cap space. For the first time in the salary cap era, teams have significantly more leeway to maneuver. So far, this has manifested in extensions. While players like Jack Eichel and Connor McDavid were longshots to reach unrestricted free age...
The Cleveland Browns had plenty of issues along the offensive line after last year. This group was ranked #31 at season’s end. To be fair, the starting lineup for Week 1 was a 360 from the offensive line starters going into the final contest of the schedule. RELATED: 3 ROUND MOCK DRAFT Gone from the […]
