Arizona Daily Star — Shaina Pellington calls her 28-point performance Sunday her best in an Arizona uniform. The Wildcats improve to 14-2 on the season.

Arizona Desert Swarm — Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports No Tubelis, no problem. Christian Koloko had a 19-point, 13-rebound double-double and Pelle Larsson scored nine points in his first start in place of an injured Azuolas Tubelis to lead third-ranked Arizona to a 96-71 win at California on Sunday afternoon. Koloko was one of five UA players to score in double figures as the Wildcats overwhelmed the Golden Bears with their size, strength and shooting. Oumar Ballo and Benn Mathurin each scored 14 points, Kerr Kriisa sprinkled in 13 on a team-high four three-pointers and Justin Kier added...

House of Sparky — Zac BonDurant Starting off strong It was 22 days since Arizona State (9-5, 1-0 Pac-12) took the floor together and 34 days since playing in front of fans. The Sun Devil faithful did not leave Desert Financial Arena disappointed on Friday after ASU’s 57-52 overtime win over nationally-ranked Colorado (13-3, 2-3). The Sun Devils were in control for most of the game (39 minutes and 51 seconds to be exact), keeping Colorado at an arms-length. The Buffaloes came back from being down four in the final minute of play without star guard Mya Hollingshed, who fouled out with...

House of Sparky — 23/27, 3/5, 8/13: the last three seasons of ASU kicking. Will it improve? For a team that did not kick many field goals last year, the Sun Devils are looking like they want to improve the third phase of the game through the transfer portal. Former Colorado State kicker and Verrado High School (Buckeye, Ariz.) alum Robert Liss announced on his Twitter page that he is transferring to Arizona State for the 2022 season. Liss joins a crowded, but erratic kicking group. ASU went 8-for-13 kicking field goals this season, with Christian Zendejas (8-for-11) taking the bulk share of...

Down The Drive — Photo by Dylan Buell/ Cincinnati’s rout last night of Tulsa was the latest piece of evidence that Wes Miller has the Bearcats basketball program back on the right track. The 90-69 beatdown of Tulsa at Fifth Third Arena provided ample evidence that this team not only can take control of a game but can also finish off an opponent. The aspect of the 14-5 (4-2 in the AAC) Cincinnati Bearcats performance last night that impressed the most was their ability to consistently shoot accurately—both inside and outside the perimeter. Cincinnati shot nearly 50 percent from the...

Writing Illini — The impact Bret Bielema has had on the Illinois football program is pretty impressive.

Writing Illini — The Illinois basketball team traveled to College Park, Maryland, to take on the Terrapins for a Big Ten clash.

The Champaign Room — Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports Without their All-American, the Illini dropped another contest. The Illini took on Danny Manning’s Maryland Terripans on Friday night in College Park. And like so many games this year, Illinois would be without one of its biggest weapons — except this time it was Kofi Cockburn. Cockburn suffered a concussion earlier in the week, and despite not having their big man, the Illini hung with the Terrapin early. The two teams had a combined 30 points just 6 minutes into the first half. For the Illini, Alfonso Plummer got out to a quick...

A Sea Of Blue — Photo by Todd Kirkland/ Sharpe has already sacrificed a lot to be at UK. Now that we know Shaedon Sharpe will be eligible for the 2022 NBA Draft, he’s not passing up on all that money to stay at Kentucky next season, right? Not so fast, according to his former coach and current mentor, Dwayne Washington. In an interview with KSR, Washington revealed that Sharpe has already turned down millions of dollars to play at Kentucky, so they’re not about to give in now and chase the NBA money too soon. With professional organizations begging for his commitment —...

A Sea Of Blue — Jake Crandall / USA TODAY NETWORK Injuries derail the Cats once again. The Kentucky Wildcats battled it out with the Auburn Tigers on Saturday afternoon, but came up short as they drop the SEC showdown by a score of 80-71. The first half was exactly like many expected, a fast pace game. When either team got a stop, it was an outlet pass and run. Kentucky seemed to have a nice hold on the game, until an ankle injury to TyTy Washington, took him out for the last 8+ minutes of the first half. From that point on, they needed different individuals to step up especially on...

It was NOT over until it was over. The Ducks traded shots with the Huskies early on, and they were challenged - as all teams that play Washington are - by the play of Nancy Mulkey, the Washington senior transfer from Rice University.

Block U — Jeffrey Swinger-USA TODAY Sports Instant Analysis and Reaction and Final Thoughts Game Notes: Utah is in the midst of a seven-game losing streak. The last two games have been absolute heartbreakers as the Utes lost to Arizona State on the road on a floater with 4.6 seconds left in the game. Utah then had a couple of chances against #9 UCLA to tie the game but just couldn’t hit a 3 when it counted the most and ended up losing 63-58. The Utes have been extremely competitive against two top #25 ranked teams in the last three games. Despite the losses (and the...

Block U — Jeffrey Swinger-USA TODAY Sports The Utes face the Trojans in SLC The losing streak is up to seven games, and while some of those losses have been tough, the last couple has had some positives you can take from them, especially considering two of them were against some of the best in the country. The Utes will continue to be without Branden Carlson against USC, but they have played well the last few games and could have pulled off the upset against UCLA if a couple of shots had fallen. The Utes are defending better, taking care of the ball better, and just playing...

But Vegas always knows something, and when a 2-6...

Streaking The Lawn — Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports Basketball coaches will often break a season down into smaller sections of games, which can help keep a team focused on the present rather than the future. With three winnable games in five days, this feels like one of those smaller sections for Virginia Cavaliers Basketball. The Wahoos got off to a great start with the road win over Pitt. Next up is another road game, this time in Raleigh against the NC State Wolfpack. Like Virginia, the Pack are having a down year.

WVU | West Virginia Mountaineers sports coverage - Blue Gold News — Without question, the officiating in West Virginia’s 77-65 loss to Texas Tech was, pick your adjective, questionable, shaky, inconsistent.
