The Cougars take on No. 9 seed Auburn in the second round, which will essentially be a home game for the Tigers in Birmingham.

Lakers star LeBron James is reportedly “not close” to a return from a foot injury that has sidelined him since the end of February.

Northern Kentucky put up a respectable effort against Houston in its first-round game against Houston on Thursday night. Not only did the Norse give it their all in the 63-52 loss, but so too did the school’s band director.

The man was lit listening to Lit.

Kayla Harrison’s hand was raised in her first 15 MMA bouts. That followed her sensational run in judo, where she attained two Olympic gold medals. Even with all that success behind her, Harrison believes that her absolute best is still ahead of her.
A two-time PFL women’s lightweight champion, Harrison (15–1) suffered her first defeat in November against Larissa Pacheco. That journey into such foreign terrain—when it comes to competition, Harrison was a complete stranger to loss—has been more beneficial than she ever envisioned.
The wide receiver and quarterback are expected to reunite in New York.
As the Jets try to complete a deal with the Packers for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, New York officially signed former Green Bay wide receiver Allen Lazard on Friday. The 27 year-old joins the Jets after playing for four years with Rodgers, developing a strong chemistry over that span.
