Alabama Softball Faces the Struggling Kentucky Wildcats

Kinley Pate. | rolltide.com The ‘Cats welcome Bama to Lexington, KY. Let’s admit it: It’s a down year for SEC Softball. TBH, it’s down all across the NCAA landscape. I am going to put on my #GOML cap for a second and blame most of this on the Transfer Portal. Many of these players are jumping around for the next greener grass without really thinking things through. Softball is so much about finding cohesion and defining roles on a team to find the best recipe for success. That is tough task to tackle when kids keep hopping into the portal at the slightest...

Arizona Athletics Arizona had arguably its worst performance of the season on Tuesday night, losing 12-9 at home to a New Mexico State team that hadn’t won a game away from home in nearly a year.

Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports Georgia is a football school. There is absolutely no denying that fact, and what happens from August to January is the thermostat of how things are felt about around the Classic City year-round. Sure, you want to win in everything. But some sports at UGA are not at the level of where Kirby Smart has things. One hurdle some sports face is tradition - or lack of. Men’s basketball falls into that category. The greatest moment in program history rolled across its anniversary spot this week. That occasion was not even a championship. Rather,...

‘We’re everyday guys’: Underwood details Sweet 16 mindset

TCR // Jack Jungmann The Illini are looking to capitalize on their first second weekend game since 2005. The time has come. Tonight, for the first time in 19 years, the Illini will be playing in the Sweet Sixteen. The excitement is building and this team has all the potential in the world. But carrying this run on to the next round will be far from an easy task. Standing in the way of an Elite Eight matchup is No. 2 seed Iowa State. The success of this team is built off hustle, athleticism, and not allowing opponents to score many points. “Now it’s on to a very good...

Pat Kelsey is set to become the next head coach of the Cardinals program. This coaching search did not go quite like anyone expected.
