Temple announced the hiring of former Penn State assistant coach Adam Fisher as the Owls’ next men’s basketball coach.

The Hawkeyes guard has led the program to a prolific season that finds Iowa matching up against reigning national champion South Carolina on Friday in the Final Four. Iowa (30-6) will play in its first national semifinal since 1993 after the Hawkeyes defeated Louisville, 97-83, in the Elite Eight on Sunday.
In Sunday’s win, Clark became the first player in women’s tournament history to record a 40-point triple-double, finishing with 41 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds.
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred spoke out against New York Mets owner Steve Cohen recently.
Cohen has made waves across the league since taking over in Queens a few years ago, mostly for his seemingly excessive spending.
The 2023 version of the Mets will far and away lead the league in payroll and had the Carlos Correa deal not fallen through, it could have been even higher.
Rival MLB owners have engaged in concerted efforts to stop or slow Cohen, mostly to no avail.
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver, and former Raven, Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown received his sentencing on Wednesday related to a run-in with the law last year when he got caught speeding nearly double the area’s speed limit.
According to TMZ Sports, an Arizona judge ruled that Brown would be fined $473 for the offense, adding that none of it would be owed by Brown after receiving credit for being jailed on the day of his arrest.
Of all the quarterbacks in Ole Miss football history, Matt Corral is near the top of the list. Chad Kelly, Archie and Eli Manning, Jake Gibbs and Jevan Snead all made their mark on the program, but Corral was just built different.

The former four-star recruit, who is with the Carolina Panthers, led Ole Miss to its first-ever 10-win season in 2021 and etched his name in the history books. However, it took time to get to that point.
The Cardinals will have a new face behind home plate on Opening Day for the first time since 2004.
Following the retirement of legendary catcher Yadier Molina, Willson Contreras is set to take over backstop duties for the organization and is in line to debut for the franchise Thursday in St. Louis against the Blue Jays.
Ahead of his first-ever game for the Cardinals, Contreras paid tribute to Molina with a pair of custom cleats, which he plans to wear on Opening Day.
