The 2022 WNBA Finals began Sunday as the No. 1-seeded Las Vegas Aces host the No. 3 Connecticut Sun at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas. The Finals is a best-of-five series with Games 1-2 in Las Vegas, Game 3 in Connecticut and if necessary, Game 4 in Connecticut and Game 5 in Las Vegas. The Aces and Sun have never won a WNBA title. The Aces swept the Phoenix Mercury in the best-of-three first round, then ousted the Seattle Storm 3-1 in the semifinals. The Sun beat the Dallas Wings 2-1 in… Source link

Bryce Young was not going to let Texas beat Alabama. The No. 1 Crimson Tide survived a major scare from Texas after scoring with 10 seconds left in a 20-19 win. Texas took a 19-17 lead with 1:29 to go on a Bert Auburn field goal but Young continued to show why he was the 2021 Heisman winner with a fantastic fourth quarter. “When his best was needed, it was really good,” Alabama coach Nick Saban told Fox after the game. Young was absolutely phenomenal over the final 15 minutes and his 20-yard… Source link

Calling Max Verstappen a massive favorite to win the Italian Grand Prix may be an understatement. Verstappen has won 10 of the first 14 races of the 2022 Formula 1 season and enters Sunday’s race (9 a.m. ET, ESPN2) at a wild -275 to win. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc is the No. 2 favorite at a distant +600 while Lewis Hamilton is at +800 to get his first win of the season. It’s easy to see why oddsmakers are confident in Verstappen’s chances at the win. Red Bull’s car has blown everyone… Source link

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

It was ugly, just the way Connecticut Sun head coach Curt Miller wanted it. Maybe a little uglier than most others would have liked. 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. Chicago leads the best-of-five series, 2-1, and is one victory away from a return to the WNBA Finals that tips off in one week. Connecticut will need to win out, including… Source link

No. 2 Ohio State scored its fewest points since 2018 in a 21-10 win over No. 5 Notre Dame on Saturday night. The high-flying Buckeyes offense was slowed by a great Notre Dame gameplan and an injury to star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. But Ohio State had just enough to get the job done after preseason Heisman favorite C.J. Stroud hit Xavier Johnson for a go-ahead 24-yard TD with 17 seconds left in the third quarter. The catch was Johnson’s first collegiate TD. Ohio State took a 7-3 lead… Source link

All offseason, Iowa’s coaches were optimistic that the team’s lackluster offense would show improvement in 2022. Maybe that improvement will show up in Week 2. Iowa won its opener over South Dakota State on Saturday in a very unconventional yet totally on brand fashion. The Hawkeyes won 7-3 in a game in which their defense scored more than the offense. The defense registered two safeties for four points. The offense could only muster a field goal. If you had to think of a team that would… Source link

Video review came to soccer promising to overturn clear and obvious errors. It was a safety net for referees, and that, we were told, was the extent of its domain. Video assistants would not re-referee the game; VAR was, in theory, a new-age mechanism to undo controversy and better the sport. But half a decade later, as West Ham furiously alleged on Saturday, it is not doing any of that. Or, rather, it is doing far too much. VAR’s biggest fault has been overstepping its bounds, as it did at… Source link

Somehow, some way she got stronger. And then stronger again. Faster and then faster again. Better and bolder and as big as the moment. The longer it went, the more she seemed to believe, seemed to say, yes, retirement is coming, but not today, not tonight. None of it made any sense. Maybe none of it ever did with Serena Williams. Via an intense, emotional, improbable performance Wednesday, Serena Williams defeated Anett Kontaveit 7-6 (7-4), 2-6, 6-2 to advance to the third round of the U.S…. Source link
