Illinois fights off late rally, punches ticket to WBIT Final Four

Illinois Fighting Illini Athletics A milestone for Shauna Green and Illinois. TULSA, Okla. — With a shot at the WBIT Final Four at Hinkle Fieldhouse on the line, Illinois traveled to Tulsa with the same goal they’ve had since round one of the tournament: Go 1-0. The Illinois Fighting Illini (17-15) did just that, jumping out to a big early lead and doing enough to hold onto it until the end, winning 69-61 to advance to the semifinals over the Tulsa Golden Hurricane (25-9). If you came into Thursday’s game being told that Makira Cook got into foul trouble and that...

NCAA Tournament: Arizona men’s basketball falls to Clemson in Sweet 16

Photo by Ronald Martinez/ LOS ANGELES—Another year, another dose of what might have been for Arizona. The second-seeded Wildcats built themselves a big hole in the first half against No. 6 Clemson, managed to climb out of it but then kept giving the Tigers back the shovel in a 77-72 loss in the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 on Thursday night in Los Angeles. The UA (27-9) lost its third straight Sweet 16 appearance by having an epicly bad performance from the 3-point line, going 5 of 28 with leading scorer Caleb Love missing all nine triples in a 5-of-18 effort from the...

UK gives Kenny Brooks a top-10 contract; former AD calls him “best developer of players” he’s ever seen

Dylan Ballard - A Sea Of Blue Kentucky pulled in a good one. With so much focus placed on the turmoil within Kentucky men’s basketball, it was easy to miss the excitement of the women’s basketball program hiring a new head coach to lead the program. Kenny Brooks was poached from Virginia Tech, and an immediate great sign was seeing how folks close to his former program were devastated by the news of his departure. “Brooks was the best developer of players and a teacher of the game that I’ve probably ever seen in any sport.” Virginia Tech AD Whit Babcock said...

Seven Tigers on Opening Day MLB Rosters

Seven Tigers on Opening Day MLB Rosters

Photo by Cliff Welch/Icon Sportswire via Play ball The 2024 Major League Baseball season began in earnest Thursday (the Dodgers and Padres played a two-game series in Seoul last week) and seven former Tigers are on MLB Opening Day rosters. Josh Smith will be getting his World Series ring as the defending champion Texas Rangers begin their title defense in Arlington against the Cubs. Smith might be getting a World Series ring, but I’d argue that Aaron Nola is an even bigger winner as he was rewarded by the Philadelphia Phillies with a seven-year $172 million contract...

Quinn Ewers is back at Texas to finally live where his feet are

Ricardo B. Brazziell/American-Statesman / USA TODAY NETWORK After admittedly rushing through his entire life, the Longhorns quarterback is slowing down and putting in the work to enjoy his time on the Forty Acres and set himself up for success in the NFL. “Be where your feet are.” It’s the type of aphorism that coaches love, and Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers is fully living it for the first time in his playing career. He’s certainly not looking backwards — the mullet Ewers used to wear, long his signature haircut, is in the past and isn’t coming...

This post will be pinned to the 2nd spot through the weekend so you can use it to discuss all the happenings on and off the court.
