WASHINGTON, D.C. — “Seahawk Basketball.” Takayo Siddle’s hard-nosed, no-mountain-high-enough style of basketball didn’t die today. It might’ve gotten a reality check, though. You could feel it inside the CareFirst Arena. A pro-Seahawk crowd — some who made the trip from sunny Wilmington, some who live nearby — sat patiently, waiting for their beloved UNCW to […]

CLEVELAND — Not much went right for the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday afternoon.
