The NFL Wild Card round includes three games today. Women’s Basketball vs UCLA This one could be rough if Nebraska’s defense doesn’t tighten up, especially in the paint. But, you should never count out this team. They are gritty and fight for every possession. Who knows what could happen on any given Sunday… 25/RV Nebraska […]
We just keep right on winning! We beat LSU in a back-and-forth contest that caused many a childish eruption from Kim Mulkey, then followed it up with a beatdown of Missouri where we learned that this team looks good even when Blakes is playing badly (yes, she ended the game with 20, but 12 of […]
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. – The field goal shooting was mostly foul, but the Hofstra’s Pride’s foul shooting in a literal sense made the difference at the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex on Saturday afternoon. Junior guards Jason Rivera-Torres (30 points on 9-for-19 shooting) and Andrew Ball (13 points on 5-for-9 shooting) did all they […]
The Wisconsin Badgers had an impressive win on Saturday, upsetting the No. 2 Michigan Wolverines 91-88 on the road after entering the game as 19.5-point underdogs. It was the win that Wisconsin needed after lacking Quad 1 wins on its resume so far, and the Badgers had one of the best offensive showings of the […]
Syracuse ends their first conference road trip with back-to-back wins in Atlanta and Pittsburgh, heading back home after an 83-72 victory over the Pittsburgh Panthers on Saturday afternoon.

Rutgers basketball fans, it’s GameDay! The Scarlet Knights return to Jersey Mike’s Arena tonight after a one-game road trip to take on Northwestern.

The North Carolina Tar Heels survived a home scare against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons as the team in blue stayed undefeated in home games with their three-point win over the team from Winston Salem. The game looked to be over a little over halfway through the second half when North Carolina took a 15-point […]
By now you already know the play in discussion. William Kyle comes barreling down the lane in Pittsburgh. Nate Kingz was wise enough to miss the three and set up his teammate. Nobody boxes out Kyle and he rebounds, cocks the ball back and flushes a put-back dunk for the ages. Just give Kyle the […]
The TCU Horned Frogs are now 1-2 in Big 12 play after suffering an 86-73 loss at home to the No. 1 Arizona Wildcats. It’s easy to see why Arizona is ranked first and considered one of the early championship favorites. The Wildcats controlled the game from the get-go, scoring the first points of the […]
While hardly alone, I’ll admit that I didn’t have Greg Gard’s Wisconsin Badgers rolling into Ann Arbor and wrestling a massive 91-88 victory from the host (and previously undefeated) Michigan Wolverines, but here we are. The shorthanded Wisconsin squad finally showed the promise and resilience that so many of us expected this season, stood sturdy late, and […]
Every game day in the Big Ten brings its own challenges. Each team near the top of the conference has their own strengths and on Sunday, No. 19 Ohio State women’s basketball gets its first chance at one of the most unique. The No. 8 Maryland Terrapins welcome the Buckeyes to College Park, Maryland for […]
It’s tough to say how to take the 87-84 win by Carolina last night. On one hand you have the fact that Carolina turned back a team that has given the Tar Heels fits since Steve Forbes started coaching at Wake Forest. They were desperate for a marquee win. The game makes Carolina 2-1 in […]
With women’s college basketball’s fifth-best team currently under question, the sport is defined by a clear top four. (Or, Final Four?) All of No. 1 UConn, No. 2 Texas, No. 3 South Carolina and No. 4 UCLA have the opportunity to cement their status on Sunday. Here’s why the Huskies, Longhorns, Gamecocks and Bruins are […]
Newcastle United found a way to advance to the FA Cup fourth round after an exhausting 3-3 draw and a dramatic 7-6 penalty shootout win over Bournemouth, with Aaron Ramsdale emerging as the Magpies’ hero on Saturday.

Nebraska is back at home to take on #4 UCLA after winning back to back games against Purdue and Indiana. If Nebraska can establish any sort of inside presence this matchup may look a little different, however; stopping 6’7 Lauren Betts is no easy feat. The Huskers will be looking to get their first ranked […]

Trevor Keels has been somewhat quiet since leaving Duke in 2022 as a second-round draft pick of the New York Knicks. He probably could have used some more time in Durham but that was his decision and he’s still grinding away, trying to get to the league. His last G-League performance with the Sioux Falls […]
