Brian Kelly’s first game at LSU was a special teams disaster. The Tigers lost 24-23 to Florida State on Sunday night after they had two kicks blocked and dropped two points. The final blocked kick came on a game-tying extra point with no time left after Jaray Jenkins caught a two-yard TD pass from Jayden Daniels. LSU and Kelly could have gone for two and the win but instead played for overtime in New Orleans. That turned out to be the wrong decision as Florida State’s Shyheim Brown prevented… Source link

But the No. 3 seed Sun couldn’t buy the first vowel in “offense” and lost the mightily messy Game 3 affair to the No. 2 seed Chicago Sky, 76-72, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut on Sunday.

We’re going to be good around the basket. We’re going to… Source link

The Omaha World-Herald, which was covering the event on-site, wrote that people were given “as many as he or she could carry in a cardboard drink carrier. One man… Source link
