  1. Awful news for her and the Lady Trojans…. Was looking forward to the regional finals of her against Paige (provided they won their Sweet 16 games)…. Hopefully she will have a speedy recovery but will probably miss next season… https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/44393492/usc-trojans-star-juju-watkins-carried-injury-vs-mississippi-state-women-ncaa-tournament

    Too bad Manfred and company have ruined MLB with the rule changes the past five years or so… However, baseball is still the best game on the planet…

    *** 2025 Draft and Season Discussion ***

    It’s their fault since they made him two people… They would not DL him if that was the case…

    NCAA Hoops '24-'25

    Azzi Fudd will be returning to Storrs next season… https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/44400274/azzi-fudd-passing-wnba-draft-another-year-uconn UConn Huskies star Azzi Fudd will return next season for her final year of college basketball, she announced Tuesday. Fudd is eligible to leave for the upcoming WNBA draft, where she likely would have been a first-round pick, but told ESPN that she believes spending one more year at UConn will allow her to "work on everything I need to work on" and take her game to an all-new level. A recent conversation Fudd had with coach Geno Auriemma, she said, helped solidify for her that she had much more left to give in a UConn jersey. Auriemma told her he would support her regardless of her decision but said he thinks she hasn't reached her full ceiling at UConn. "He said, 'I would say 10 games, maybe, you've played to your full potential of who Azzi Fudd really is and so you wouldn't do yourself justice leaving,'" Fudd recalls him saying. "You would leave here not doing what you could in a UConn uniform.' I was like, 'Yeah, he has a point.'" "Having someone of Azzi's ability and the way she can just control a game, she just hasn't had an opportunity, at this point, to fully show who she is, what she can do, what impact she can have on our program and on college basketball," Auriemma told ESPN. "So hopefully being here another year, having an injury-free year, knock on wood, can remind everybody this is the Azzi Fudd that was coming out of high school, and can we get a full year out of that? I'm as excited as anybody, our fans, anybody to see what can happen." The 5-foot-11 graduate student arrived in Storrs as a heralded prospect, the No. 1 recruit in the class of 2021 whose jumper NBA legend Stephen Curry once called "more... textbook... than anyone I've seen." But because of injuries, she has played just 72 games over four seasons, including 17 across the previous two campaigns. Fudd returned four games into the season this year from her Nov. 2023 ACL tear, then missed three games in December after tweaking her knee. But she has made a career-high 30 appearances so far this season, with the Huskies advancing to the Sweet 16 after a win Monday over South Dakota State. Fudd has come into form in the 2025 calendar year especially, most prominently leading the Huskies with 28 points (including six 3-pointers) to an upset victory at defending champion South Carolina in mid-February. Playing in her first NCAA tournament since 2023, she dropped an NCAA-tournament career-high 27 points in the first round versus Arkansas State and added 17 in their second-round victory over South Dakota State. Her 45.3% clip from beyond the arc is a top-10 mark in the nation and second among players still active in the NCAA tournament. In the postseason, her 16.4 points per game are the second-best mark on the team. Fudd said she believes having a true offseason to work on her game -- instead of having to go right into another season if she went to the WNBA -- would be beneficial, something she wasn't able to fully take advantage of this past summer. She wants, too, to tap back into the confidence she had entering her sophomore year, when she had a blistering start of the season before being sidelined with a knee injury. The Huskies will need even more of that version of Fudd with star Paige Bueckers no longer in Storrs. "Paige is going to be gone, so I can't rely on her to speak and do all that [leadership] stuff, on and off the court," Fudd said. "I will have to be in that position." At times in her career, Fudd admits, she has been too passive on the court. But with time winding down to achieve her individual and team goals, she knows she can't take that approach moving forward. Even this year, she has had conversations with Auriemma where she has asked him to not go easy on her and to push her harder. "There's no more, ''Oh, next year," Fudd said. "Next year is the year, well this year first, but next year, I want to get all these things done, and I want to make sure that him and all the other coaches, even my teammates, are on my back, making sure that I'm being held accountable for everything." Fudd said she hopes to be an All-American and win a national championship next season, but she and the team have plenty they still want to accomplish this year. There's plenty of motivation over the next few weeks, the last ride for Bueckers and senior Aubrey Griffin, as the Huskies hope to take advantage of their healthiest and deepest squad in years come tournament time. "I don't want to take any second, any possession, for granted," Fudd said. "I don't want to have that kind of passive mindset, not once this tournament. I'm playing for my teammates. I'm playing for me who couldn't play last year, and [UConn's current injured players]. "I know what it feels like to be on the outside, so I don't want to take even a possession for granted or lightly at all but especially now during the tournament."

    USC’s JuJu Watkins tears ACL…

    I agree…. Hopefully she will be able to make it back at her pre-injury strength… As for Caitlin, she has been fortunate so far, especially as much as she got fouled this past season…
  13. Hegseth should be fired immediately at the least…

    The Kinks - Lola

  15. I don’t think I really like this EO…. Yes I am an American that can only speak English, but living around the DC metro area there is a lot of diversity for sure…. This doesn’t bother me, but this could really cause issues for my son in college…. He is a double-major and is taking a minor in English/Spanish translation so maybe he could be an interpreter, but how does this EO change that? He asked me this question last week during spring break and I had no definite answer…. I told him that I think it could mean that any governmental events in the US must be conducted in English, but I was not 100% confident on that answer… I guess only time will tell…
  16. https://www.tmz.com/2025/03/13/tiger-woods-dating-vanessa-trump/ Tiger Woods has a new love interest ... Vanessa Trump! A source with direct knowledge confirmed to TMZ Sports on Thursday the golfing legend recently got into a romantic relationship with Donald Trump Jr.'s ex-wife. The Daily Mail -- which first reported the news -- stated the two got together sometime around Thanksgiving ... but have kept things low-key, opting for more casual nights at Tiger's Jupiter, Fla. pad as opposed to grandiose nights out. Vanessa and Don Jr. divorced back in 2018. Tiger, meanwhile, split from his most recent public relationship with Erica Herman a few years ago. The pairing, of course, makes a lot of sense -- the duo is used to the public eye ... and they each have young offspring who are golfing phenoms. Charlie Woods, Tiger's 16-year-old son, and Kai Trump, Vanessa's 17-year-old daughter, both have displayed promising futures on the links. They attend The Benjamin School together in Florida, too. Woods also is no stranger to the shadow that Trumps cast -- he's been a good friend of Donald Trump's for years ... and even golfed with the president in days after the passing of his mom last month. Don't expect to see much of Tiger and Vanessa in public in the near future ... the 49-year-old just had surgery to repair a torn Achilles -- but once he's upright again, maybe there will be a few glimpses of the new lovebirds here and there.

    Big 10 is 8-0 in NCAA Tourney!

    You might want to reread the article… The first two paragraphs: The ACC set a record in 2016 with an incredible six teams in the Sweet 16. Seven different ACC teams made the NCAA Tournament that year with Pittsburgh the only team that did not make the Sweet 16.

  19. https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/44331752/espn-abc-broadcast-26-wnba-games-including-10-fever ESPN/ABC will broadcast 26 WNBA games this season, including 10 for the Indiana Feverand nine for the defending champion New York Liberty and eight for the Las Vegas Aces. Thirteen of the games will be on ABC, including the All-Star Game on July 19 in Indianapolis. ESPN/ABC will also air the entire postseason, which is expanded this year with a best-of-seven series for the WNBA Finals. It was previously a best-of-five series. The regular season is expanded to 44 games. Overall, more than 175 games will be broadcast across multiple platforms during the regular season from May 16-Sept. 11, the league announced Thursday. Games will also air on ION, Amazon, CBS, CBS Sports Network and NBA TV. WNBA League Pass also will stream over 200 live, out-of-market games. Additional streaming details for Meta platforms will be released later. "The WNBA is coming off a 2024 season in which incredible basketball and countless memorable performances paved the way for the WNBA to deliver a record-breaking season," said WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert said in a statement. "Now, with so much excitement around the player movement that took place this winter through free agency and trades, the WNBA's broadcast and streaming partners in 2025 will spotlight the league's superstars, rising stars and must-see matchups like never before." ABC starts with an opening weekend doubleheader May 17, with the last two WNBA champions, the Liberty and the Aces, leading it off. All three Aces-Liberty matchups - the others are July 8 and Aug. 13 -- will be on ABC or ESPN, featuring recent WNBA MVPs A'ja Wilson for Las Vegas and Breanna Stewart for New York. The second part of the May 17 doubleheader is the Fever vs. the Chicago Sky, featuring last season's rookie stars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. In all, the Fever and Sky meet five time: on ABC May 17 and 27, on CBS June 7 and Aug. 9, and on ION Sept. 5. Last year's WNBA Finals participants, the Liberty and the Minnesota Lynx, will meet four times: on ESPN (July 30), ABC (Aug. 10), CBS (Aug. 16) and NBA TV (Aug. 19). The league's newest team, the expansion Golden State Valkyries, will tip off their inaugural season May 16 on ION. ———— Good for them…
