Nebraska wins to improve to 1-8 all-time in NCAA men's tournament history. Teams with most games without a win: Boise St 0-10 Eastern Kentucky 0-8 *-Akron 0-7 *-Long Island 0-7 South Dakota St 0-7 Louisiana Monroe 0-7 Colgate 0-7 *-in tourney this year

With 4.3 seconds to go full court, you've got to do better than a 3-foot inbound pass and then an immediate handoff. That wasn't even a competitive attempt at a game winner by Ohio State.

A preseason drill every team should do is when the opponent makes a big shot before the buzzer and everyone runs on the floor prematurely, you inbound the ball and throw it at one of those people. That's the only way the tech gets called...but it *will* get called.

Only people to both coach in 600+ wins and play in 600+ wins in NBA (regular season): Steve Kerr Don Nelson

We might be witnessing the first time an undefeated team isn't favored in its own conference tourney...

You are looking live at the greatest college basketball facility ever built (Fight me).

President Trump’s calls for an insider trading ban for members of Congress received bipartisan applause, followed by partisan squabbling during the State of the Union. “How about you first!” Rep. Mark Takano yelled. “You’re the most corrupt president!” Rep. Rashida Tlaib also said. bit.ly/479yw3f

The Indianapolis Colts had the highest DVOA ever for a team with a losing record. A crazy good first two months, and then a crazy collapse.

SO sits down to watch the Go Bowling Military Bowl "seems like a lot of gutter balls so far"

John Harbaugh lost for the 20th time in the regular season and playoffs after leading by double digits in the second half, more than any other coach since 1991. 8 of those losses have come in the last 4 seasons

Andy Reid lost the plot there. Houston offense has done nothing but here they are in FG range.

Players in last 12 seasons to go 0 for 8 or worse passing in a single quarter: CJ Stroud 0-8 vs Chiefs, 3rd quarter tonight Drew Lock 0-8 vs Saints, 1st qtr Week 14 2024 Josh Allen 0-8 vs Texans, 4th qtr Week 5 2024

Jared Goff's 10 TD passes on Thanksgiving are tied for 8th most with Tobin Rote and Greg Landry. Tony Romo and Matthew Stafford have the most with 18 each

This time last year, the Chiefs had a point margin of +49 and were 9-1. Now they're +73 and 5-5. Football!

Not sure what took so long to blow this play dead. You're not allowed to advance that fumble unless the fumbler picks it back up himself.

That clinches a spot in the Sun Belt title game for James Madison

We've had three DVOA Bowls in the last two seasons! They usually happen in the regular season roughly every other year. 2023 BUF-MIA Week 4 2023 SF-BAL Week 16 2024 MIN-DET Week 7

I haven't run this week's numbers and won't until tonight is over but I'm assuming that the Colts will drop a little and next week's Seahawks-Rams game will be a "DVOA Bowl" between teams 1 and 2.

There were 11 games in NBA tonight and all were decided by 10+ points. That's the most games ever played on a night without any being decided by single digits

Even among fellow sports superstars, Shohei Ohtani has reached legendary status.

Was there no thought, "Gee, Spagnuolo might send a blitz on fourth-and-1, we should have a hot read?"

The first authorized biopic of Bruce Springsteen's life, "Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere," delves into the making of his 1982 album "Nebraska."

If you want a league where the regular season really matters, the AAC has like a half-dozen very watchable teams fighting for the title in presumably a one-bid league

Trying to fully capture and describe longtime D.C./Baltimore radio reporter Craig Heist to someone who never spent time in a press box is not an easy task. Except for one thing: There was never, ever any doubt where Craig stood on anything.

5 teams have come back from double digits down to win this week (Commanders, Panthers, Titans, Broncos, Saints). That's 1 shy of the NFL record for a single week last done in Week 13 of the 2013 season
