It’s the final Saturday of the men’s college basketball regular season and they saved the best for last. Alongside ongoing small conference tournaments is a solid slate that’s already delivered early. No. 1 Houston mauled No. 14 Kansas in a 30-point blowout while locking up the Big 12 title in its first season in the conference. In the SEC, No. 15 Kentucky and No. 4 Tennessee put on a show in a back-and-forth thriller. But that all serves as a warmup for the most storied rivalry in the sport… Source link

Following a two-week investigation, BYU said in a statement it found no evidence to corroborate allegations of racial heckling by a fan at a women’s volleyball match on Aug. 26. The university said it reviewed audio recordings, security footage and “reached out” to at least 50 people at the event before coming to its decision Friday morning. BYU added that it lifted its ban on the fan the school originally identified as the person who allegedly used a racial slur directed at a member of the… Source link

South Carolina women’s head basketball coach Dawn Staley announced the Gamecocks won’t face BYU in a home-and-home series that was scheduled to start this year.

She was threatened by a white male that told her to watch her back going to the team bus. A police officer had to be put by their bench.” “Not one freaking adult… Source link

So much for Duke revealing whether it’s hoping to face North Carolina in the national semifinals next Saturday. Mike Krzyzewski interrupted before his players could answer that question. Soon after Duke secured its place in the Final Four on Saturday night, a reporter asked the Blue Devils’ five starters if any of them would root for North Carolina to set up a historic rivalry showdown by beating Saint Peter’s the following day. To his giggling players’ amusement, Krzyzewski cut them off and… Source link

Michigan State was game for the moment. But Duke’s talent was ultimately too much to overcome on Sunday in a high-profile NCAA men’s tournament game that saw the Blue Devils secure an 85-76 victory to keep Mike Krzyzewski’s coaching career alive. Duke fought off a barrage of Michigan State 3-pointers and a late Spartans rally to secure Krzyzewski’s 1,200th career victory, 26th Sweet 16 and one last win over his friend and rival Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo. Duke held Michigan State at bay… Source link

It’s not guaranteed, and it still has a lot of work to actually get there, but Duke has reportedly requested to land in the Midwest Regional of the NCAA tournament on Wednesday, according to both The Athletic’s Seth Davis and ESPN’s Wright Thompson. That request, should it work out, would allow longtime Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski to coach some of his final games with the school in his hometown of Chicago. Every school in the mix to earn the top overall seed in the NCAA tournament each… Source link
