Darius Johnson was a UCF Knights legend and fan favorite during his four-year tenure from 2021 to 2025. Johnson averaged nearly 13 points, 4 assists, and 2 steals per game as a Knight. Johnson made the 2022 AAC All-Freshman Team, but his 2024-25 season as a senior would be his best at UCF. Johnson averaged […]
Although Alex Bregman is one of the most highly sought-after free agents this winter, his market has been fairly narrow and well-defined for a while now. And yet, lately, the specifics have begun to evolve. A few weeks ago, Bregman’s market was pretty unanimously boiled down to three teams: (1) The Cubs, who made him an offer last offseason, (2) the Tigers, who made him an offer last offseason, and (3) the incumbent Red Sox, who signed him last offseason. Today, that looks a little differ...

Alright folks, let’s make this one quick. The North Carolina Central Eagles are bad bad. They’re 351st in Kenpom, out of 365 teams in division 1 basketball. This game was theoretically decided when it was scheduled, so anything other than a demolition by the hands of the Nittany Lions should be a cause for concern […]

1. Awful clutch execution In a bad game for the Celtics, they had a chance to win the game down the stretch but some awful execution led to their downfall. At the 43 second mark of the 4th quarter, Derrick White hit a three to cut the Trail Blazers lead to 1 point. Donovan Clingan […]
After nearly two months, it’s time to check out of the Non-Conference Hotel and Saloon. The CAA’s stay, for once, was surprisingly pleasant. It’s always cheap — some days, they even pay you to be here — but the tradeoff tends to be getting stuck with the worst rooms. You can find bigger, wealthier customers […]
It’s rare for the Boston Celtics to play undisciplined basketball — and it’s even rarer for veterans Derrick White and Jaylen Brown to shoulder the blame for a fourth-quarter collapse. But against the Western Conference’s 10th-seeded Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night, White and Brown received a harsh reminder of the need to minimize mistakes. […]
The Oregon Ducks played host to the Omaha Mavericks on Sunday evening in their final tune-up game before Big Ten conference play resumes in early January.

For years, when you looked over at the Florida State bench, you’d see Leonard Hamilton roaming the sidelines. The legendary coach ruled the Seminoles for over two decades and was a constant thorn in the side for the Tar Heels. In recent seasons, though, the quality of the Seminoles basketball program suffered as they didn’t […]
The Syracuse Orange women’s basketball team (11-2, 1-1) looked like their offense got lost in transit after a 71-51 loss to the Duke Blue Devils (7-6, 2-0) on Sunday afternoon. It was the lowest scoring game of the season for the Orange as they shot 34% from the field, 2-12 from 3 and just 5-12 […]

Smith leads the nation with 9.6 assists a game […]

In this FPL GW19 Differential Picks article, we highlight four players owned by less than 10% of […]
Good morning, Fear the Wall. Happy Monday, again. It’s good to see you all (see that’s a joke, I cannot actually see any of you. This is a website. Very clever of me, if you’re keeping up). It has been three days since Christmas, and I am already beginning to dread the return to the […]
