(Editor’s note: in honor of national title game night, we are now re-publishing this exclusive that originally ran in 2014.) When you watch the iconic “One Shining Moment” video montage a week from tonight, after the 2023 national title game, take a minute or two to think about how it nearly disappeared. If it weren’t for […]

While the end of the Duke basketball season is always a terribly sad time, it at least allowed the Duke Basketball Roundup to bring our old friend Sam Klein back on the show for the season recap via the Stats Game. Every year, the DBR Podcast team all guess at various statistical measures of success in […]
CLEVELAND — It wasn’t pretty, but the Cleveland Cavaliers did enough to escape with a 117-108 win over the Indiana Pacers. Thomas Bryant said something in the locker room before Sunday’s game that presumably got the team fired up. Although neither he, James Harden, nor Donovan Mitchell would reveal what that was. “I’m not saying […]
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me four times, well then you’re Cade Arrambide and I’m the Tennessee Volunteer pitching staff. Thanks to a new LSU single-game record four home runs by Cade Arrambide, including a grand slam in the 12th inning, LSU (22-11, 6-6) stole yet another […]
The highest holy week of Georgia sports…not related to football, of course, is upon us. No, it’s not laughing at Tennessee or Florida fans whose only path to contending for a national title is by pulling out old VHS tapes. Nope, it’s the Tradition unlike any other – The Masters. But one of the layers […]
This evening it was reported that Michigan head coach will not pursue the job opening at UNC. This was announced by ESPN’s Pete Thamel via X: UNC’s coaching search has had three names mentioned the most: Tommy Lloyd, Dusty May, and Billy Donovan.

We’ve got some good news and some bad news to end your weekend! The bad news: the Bruins lost again! The good(ish) news: at least they got a point this time! Porter Martone scored his first NHL goal 2:31 into overtime to give the Flyers a 2-1 win over the Bruins, propelling the home team […]
The starting backcourt has now entered the transfer portal, as Lindsay joins Acaden Lewis from earlier today. This leaves Villanova with six current scholarship players, and five from the rotation: Tyler Perkins, Matt Hodge, Chris Jeffrey, Malachi Palmer, Braden Pierce. The next few days will be interesting. Happy Easter, everyone.
Congratulations to the UCLA Bruins, the 2026 NCAA women’s basketball national champions. UCLA ran away from South Carolina on Sunday afternoon in Phoenix, sealing a near-perfect 37-1 season that featured a perfect run to the Big Ten regular-season championship and a first-ever Big Ten Tournament title with a 79-51 victory. The title is the program’s […]
UConn men’s basketball (34-5) will look to cut down the nets on Monday night for the seventh time since 1999 as the Huskies are set to take on 1-seed Michigan (36-3) in the national championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium in a battle of two massive powers, one old and one new. The Wolverines came […]
The Wisconsin Badgers saw one of their more memorable seasons in recent years come to an abrupt end, as they lost to the High Point Panthers in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on a go-ahead layup. It was a brutal end to a season that had its ups and downs, as the Badgers […]
Within the span of a weekend, Georgia’s women’s basketball program saw one coach exit and found their replacement. After Saturday morning’s announcement that the school had mutually agreed to a parting of ways with Katie Abramson-Henderson after a four-year Mark of 69-59 with two NCAA Tournament berths, Ayla Guzzardo was announced as the fourth full-time […]
Liverpool Women progressed late in the FA Cup quarter-final at The Valley this afternoon, and both the Reds and their opponents Charlton Athletic paid their respects to mark the 37th anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster. Both sets of players wore black armbands to honor the loss of life and impact to survivors, both those who […]
Sunday turned out to be a busier day than expected for Cameron Boozer. First, Boozer got more hardware for the trophy wing of the house he’ll soon buy, as he was named the Naismith Player of the Year award Sunday. It’s richly deserved – he had a phenomenal season by any standard, and unbelievable for […]
The Wisconsin Badgers got their offseason kicked off on Saturday with a big addition from the international pool, landing Australian point guard Owen Foxwell after flipping his commitment from the LSU Tigers. Foxwell, 22, has played in the NBL, where he averaged 11.1 points and 4.5 assists in the NBL last season while shooting 41.1 […]
The Illini and the Final Four Before the NCAA Tournament existed, Illinois was named the 1915 men’s basketball national champion by the Helms Athletic Foundation. The NCAA championship tournament did not begin until 1939. Including this season, Illinois has now appeared in six Final Fours across 36 NCAA Tournament berths over the past 86 years. […]
The end of basketball season is a sad time for Wildcat Nation, but it’s not like UA sports in general are done. Something is always happening, particularly on the recruiting front. Arizona football has picked up a commitment from offensive lineman Karmello Calloway, a 3-star prospect in the 2028 recruiting class. He pledged to the […]
The Wisconsin Badgers saw another 2026 recruit pop up on their radar last week when 2026 Wisconsin Mr. Basketball Zavier Zens requested a release from his National Letter of Intent (NLI) from the Northern Iowa Panthers.

The freshman point guard has decided to declare for the NBA draft while maintaining his college eligibility, as well as entering the transfer portal. Reports are that Villanova made a very competitive NIL offer to retain Lewis, but he has decided to (likely) move along anyway. The Wildcats will look to do the same in […]
Being in an unprecedented situation means that it’s tough to know how to handle every twist and turn. Friday’s news about Tommy Lloyd staying at Arizona is admittedly a 90 degree curve. So, let’s all take a breath and state some actual truths about the current situation for Carolina so we can reset where things […]
INDIANAPOLIS—Though it didn’t end the way it wanted, what Arizona accomplished during the 2025-26 season should be celebrated, particularly the job Tommy Lloyd did. Lloyd has been named the Naismith Men’s College Coach of the Year, the fifth national coaching award he’s won in five seasons with the Wildcats, second for this season. Last month […]
The Wisconsin Badgers women’s hockey program is a dynasty any way you slice it. Since Mark Johnson took the helm in 2002, the Badgers have won nine national championships and are among the top contenders year in and year out. Comparing dynasties across sports is typically a trivial exercise used solely to eat up page […]

The outlet states that Delap […]
Last month, CelticsBlog’s Nate Moskowitz said that the team had become a Derrick White cloning factory: Boston’s newest wave of role players — Baylor Scheierman, Hugo Gonzalez, Jordan Walsh, and Ron Harper Jr. — aren’t being asked to manufacture offense on their own. That responsibility already belongs to Boston’s stars. Instead, they’re asking them to […]
