Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has some thoughts on NBA’s reported in-season tournament.

Here is the original video: The details of the proposed tournament are still being worked out, but the Athletic’s Shams Charania… Source link

The men’s portion of Wimbledon will begin Monday with one very notable absence. Eight-time Wimbledon champ Roger Federer will not take part in the event. Federer, 40, is still recovering after undergoing knee surgery last year. Federer had surgery on his right knee shortly after participating in Wimbledon 2021. That knee has caused issues for Federer in the past. He underwent two surgeries on his right knee in 2020. He also had surgery on his left knee in 2016. In March, Federer said his most… Source link

There have been 85 previous editions of the Masters Tournament but for DFS purposes all we care about is the 86th running. That takes place this week at Augusta National. There have been a few minor tweaks to the course since last year but that is usually the case as they continue to modify in order to keep up with modern-day standards. What we do know from previous Masters is that big hitters have a nice advantage here and performance in other big events is often a good pointer to future… Source link

Kansas pulled off the biggest comeback in men’s national championship game history to beat North Carolina, 72-69, and win the 2022 NCAA tournament. The Jayhawks were down by 15 at halftime and trailed at 16 at one point in the first half. The 16-point deficit breaks a record held by Loyola Chicago after the Ramblers came back from a 15-point deficit to win the national title. And until Monday night, the biggest halftime deficit ever turned around in a national title game was 10 when… Source link

After Thursday’s first day of NCAA tournament action, only 14 perfect Yahoo Tourney Pick’Em brackets remained. By Friday afternoon, there were none. An entry named Go Back To Webster Ave. was the last bracket standing after Miami edged USC, 68-66 on Friday. It was the only bracket to correctly pick the tournament’s first 22 games. That means that they picked No. 15 St. Peter’s to beat No. 2 Kentucky, No. 12 New Mexico to beat No. 5 UConn and No. 12 Richmond to beat No. 5 Iowa — impressive… Source link

The college basketball regular season is over. Selection Sunday is in the books. The NCAA tournament — the drama, the pageantry, the elation, the heartbreak — is here. And that means somebody in your life is talking about brackets. It may be a friend, or a family member, or a coworker. No matter who it is, they’re talking about seeds, and Cinderellas, and Final Fours and upsets. All of which would sound nonsensical or foreign for 11 months of the year. But this month? This is March…. Source link

The NCAA men’s tournament selection committee faced a tougher challenge than usual this March when trying to differentiate among the final at-large contenders. There were bubble teams of every flavor up for consideration this year. Some surged into at-large contention during March; others arrived at Selection Sunday leaking oil and missing cylinders. Some were barely over .500 but with a bushel of impressive wins; others had sparkling records but little to show for it. Some were marquee programs… Source link
