I'm watching Iowa Wisconsin. Neither of these teams are more talented than us, but the quality of basketball is just so much better. There's constant motion, cutting, back screening, etc. Each team operates as a cohesive unit. It's never on a single player to resort to one-on-one garbage...

Incredibly sad story. I'm obviously speculating, but I wonder if his injuries that derailed his career were just too much for him to emotionally overcome. He was insanely good his freshman year at Purdue in 2018 - 114 catches, 1258 yards, 12 TDs. Those are like first team All American type...

To summarize: 1. Brent Axe is a quality local journalist, which we should acknowledge because it’s a crucial and dying industry. 2. Yes, local journalism costs a little money. Yes, you can afford a couple dollars per month. 3. GHLF is not a fan of the GILF-genre. I hate to see this type of...

Detroit now has the best record in the NBA. That didn’t seem possible with OKC starting the year 24-1.

I’m a pro law enforcement person but the Syracuse Police “riot cops” stationed on Marshall Street were just the biggest dorks on Earth. There was absolutely no rioting. The worst thing that happened was a couple kids climbed lamp posts. After seeing this, the officers barreled through the crowd...

#1 Michigan and #3 Duke play in DC on Saturday night. These are prices I would expect to see for like a Capitals playoff game deep into the playoffs.

Norway, population 5.5 million, is just killing it with 33 medals. China, population 1.4 billion, has only 9. https://www.espn.com/olympics/winter/2026/medals

I wish the mods could work their magic and change this annoying thread title to “Wildhack retiring July 1st.”

Some may consider what I'm about to say as rude, but that's not my intention at all. A little bit of credit should be given to the opponent here also. After Jason made his first couple shots, they could have said "OK that's enough, we're going to lock him down." But they didn't do that. They...

We played very hard for the first 17-18 minutes of the first half. And then we had I believe three lazy/unforced turnovers on three straight possessions (two of which were on Donnie), and then we just couldn't psychologically recover from it.

I find basketball a terrible sport to bet on because there is so much random variation/swings at the end of games with free throws, garbage baskets, etc.

Vegas was insulting Duke with the 20.5.

The best part was that his teammates aren’t just going through the motions cheering. They were absolutely beside themselves euphoric about it.

One of my favorite sports stories ever. “I was hot as a pistol.”

It’s obviously a long shot, but NC State finished the regular season 17-14 two years ago and made the Final Four out of nowhere. We just have to keep playing and fighting. I refuse to be one of these “hee hee I don’t even know when we are playing next” posters. We play Duke tomorrow night at 7 pm.

NBA Cup aside, there was a simplicity to the NBA a few decades ago that I found endearing. Teams had one white jersey that they wore at home, and a colored one that they wore on the road. There are some games where it takes me a few seconds to figure out what teams I'm looking at because the...

To each their own but it just feels gimmicky and unnecessary to me. “These regular season games mean more than the others just because.”

It’s awful. In my opinion, the talent and skill of NBA players has never been better. But the entertainment product (the jersey variations, weird courts, NBA Cup, all-star weekend, etc) has never been worse.

You called it in the first half that we would come back. Well done.

We played a very good game. Had a 12 point second half lead. SMU only led for about one minute the entire game. We just couldn't close and lost by two.

Starts sentence with "takes a special kind of stupidity" and then misuses a period vs. a comma. Brandon Tierney is the total package.

Rewatching the highlights, Starling actually came very close to fouling Cal's big guy on that put-back at the very end of the first OT. He was making terrible fouls all day and that would have been a devastating icing on the cake.

Obviously water under the bridge but the game should have ended right here.

Because for most of my life, the conference tourney was the delicious appetizer before the entree. Now it's the entree itself.

If we beat SMU this weekend, is it safe to say we're probably in the ACCT? (Yes I completely understand that is the most depressing question known to man)

Kingz free throw shooting drives me insane. There's absolutely no reason this dude should be 62% from the line. He should be mid to high 70s.

LOL we just covered the 6.5 pt spread. Why do I ever question Vegas.

The All-NBA teams will look a lot different this year. Lebron can't make it (ends his 21 year streak) due to not being able to play in the minimum 65 games (although he probably doesn't have the stats to make it anyway). Joker, Curry, Luka, Wemby and Anthony Edwards are very close to not being...

Turn to FS1, everyone. Incredible game.

It has to be unusual for two teams that just fired their coaches to be in the top 5 of the next seasons Super Bowl odds.

This is what happens when you play the easiest schedule in the league and then get to play the AFC champ game in a blizzard with zero footing.

This Super Bowl feels like watching Iowa’s spring game.

Imagine being a Viking fan right now. This guy leads your team to 14 wins, has one bad playoff game, and you decide you would rather roll with JJ McCarthy.

I hope everyone’s worst relative will survive this Bad Bunny halftime show OK.

Don’t lie you enjoyed the Levi’s butts one.

The Patriots need a miraculous blizzard again to make the game unserious.

Getting to start your drive at the 35 yard line is a terrible rule in my opinion. It should be 25 yard line max.

I can’t believe we are a few hours from Tommy Devito potentially having a Super Bowl ring.

So happy my wife let me change the channel off men’s figure skating to see the end of Duke UNC.

Kiyan not playing is the second to top story on ESPN.com right now.

Whenever we play UVA since joining the ACC, it feels like a game of chess where the opponent has a queen and we don’t have one. Meaning, we can kind of hang around for a little while, but eventually it will always get away from us due to their superior movement.

How did Betsey only attempt one shot in 17 minutes?

How do ya like them... donuts I'm so sorry.

I agree with you. I know there's not necessarily a rational reason for coaches to wear suits and obviously casual clothing is more comfortable, but it makes the games and sport overall feel more serious when coaches dress up. It's kind of like working from home during Covid. Once you get a...

I watched a decent amount of Nuggets/Knicks last night. I think the main reason why Jokic is so difficult to defend is that there is simply no one in the history of the league that has the body movement and contortions that he does. Like the way he moves his arms -- it's almost indescribable...

I thought this was cool. The area where the Oneida, Oswego and Seneca Rivers converge (almost like a mini Pittsburgh) is getting $1 million from the State to be revitalized...

I thought about it more. Top 25 was too aggressive. But I would have him very safely in the Top 50.

The Bucks lost four out of their last five games before that bubble break including a double figure loss to the Lakers. The Lakers won 13 of 16 before the bubble break. To each their own, but I'm just not a big fan of the "asterisk" title talking point. The games were played, they were...

He averaged 25 and 11 in the Finals shooting 57% from the field, 42% from three and 94% from the line. Is that luck? If anything the Lakers were at a disadvantage in that bubble playoffs in that they were the overall 1 seed but didn't get any benefit at all of home court advantage.
