Most modern fans, fi they were sent back to 1976, would go to an ABA game over an NBA game virtually every time. The league...

BJ Freeman is “willing to do whatever to win and put another banner up there at Kentucky”

Jovanny Hernandez / Milwaukee Journal Sentinel / USA TODAY NETWORK A strong quote from Freeman on his interest in Kentucky. Kentucky Wildcats fans should probably get to know the name BJ Freeman. Things seem to be moving positively with the Kentucky transfer target from Milwaukee. Freeman recently spoke to KSR’s Jacob Polacheck and gave an interesting quote about his ability to do whatever is needed to win a championship. “I’m willing to do whatever to win and put another banner up there at Kentucky,” he said. Safe to say he’s quite interested in what the...

Grant Nelson, thats all! | Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports The 4th seeded Alabama Crimson Tide took down #1 seed North Carolina 89-87 on Thursday night to earn their way into the Elite Eight. WHAT A RIDE! The 4th seeded Alabama Crimson Tide is headed to the Elite Eight to rematch the No. 6 Clemson Tigers, after defeating the West 1-seed North Carolina Tarheels 89-87.

He’s been a RBI machine.” After UA didn’t allow any damage in the top of the tenth, Summerhill came up to bat with Richie Morales on...

Illinois won a battle for the ages

Photo by Fred Kfoury III/Icon Sportswire via The Illini are going to a place many students haven’t seen in their lifetimes. It was a fitting start to a game that took place on Major League Baseball’s official Opening Day. When Iowa State ripped Terrence Shannon on the first possession of the game, the narrative started, it was the equivalent of an elite starting pitcher giving up a home run on the first pitch of his biggest start of the season. Some of the best shake off those setbacks most of the time. Then you have the even rarer breed: the ones with the short...

We’ll have coverage for you leading up to tip here at TCR, but for now, we wanted to take some time to look at what DraftKings has already posted for the game in terms of wagering odds.

TSJ, Illinois hang on against Iowa State to reach Elite Eight

David Pollak // TCR Unbelievable college basketball game. BOSTON — The Final Four is just one win away. In the first Sweet 16 appearance since 2005 for Illinois (the No. 1 offense according to Kenpom), it had to face off against an Iowa State team who was ranked as the No. 1 defense Thursday night at TD Garden. In what was seen coming as potentially the best matchup in the Sweet 16 — and a game which even turned into Iowa State’s style of play — Illinois survived against Iowa State in an absolute dogfight 72-69. But out the gates, it didn’t have the feel of a...
