Barcelona went in trailing 4-0 after a dismal showing and found Flick “angrier than ever since he took over the Barça bench,” according to Sport. The […]
Max Muncy is one of the great success stories in Dodgers history.

Ohio State junior forward Devin Royal took a big jump from his freshman to sophomore year, nearly tripling his points, rebounds, assists, and minutes per game from one year to the next. A similar jump wasn’t expected as he shifted from his sophomore to junior season — statistically that’s just not possible — but Royal […]
After the joy that came from UNC’s comeback and eventual buzzer-beating win over Duke last weekend, it was followed up with a bit of a thud. Earlier this week, the Tar Heels went on the road at Miami and were put away by the Hurricanes, having never lead. Even more worryingly, Caleb Wilson exited the […]

Jake Diebler’s job security probably isn’t being dissected in a day to day “hot seat” way, but the math is still pretty simple. In college basketball, the fastest way to buy yourself time is to make the NCAA Tournament, and the fastest way to lose it is to miss March with a roster that should […]
Happy Friday. And for those of you in lower Michigan (and anywhere else this applies), I hope you enjoy temperatures getting into the 40s this weekend.
