If you thought the chaos was only happening on the court between FAU and Kansas State, the Owls radio play-by-play announcer was dealing with his own kind of March Madness.
Ken LaVicka was in the middle of calling the final thirty seconds of a history making moment for Florida Atlantic fans listening on the radio. Everything had gone right for the entire game, up until eighteen seconds left on the clock.
During this time, as FAU hung onto a slim lead, the power went out on press row, mainly his connection through an ethernet cord.
The 20-year-old’s MLB debut is just around the corner.
Cardinals top prospect Jordan Walker won’t have to wait much longer before making his MLB debut.
St. Louis GM John Mozeliak announced Saturday evening that the 20-year-old would be on the Cardinals’ Opening Day roster for the 2023 season, a huge development for the organization’s coveted outfielder.
Walker, the No. 21 pick in the 2020 MLB Draft, has dominated at every level of minor-league ball he’s been to.
Ryan Reaves of the Minnesota Wild is one of the toughest customers in the National Hockey League, but he was no match for one strong batch of smelling salts.
Reaves was trying to get himself fired up during the WIld’s 3-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks and turned to some smelling salts.
That’s not unusual at all in the NHL. You see guys cracking smelling salts and taking whiffs all the time.

The stuff Reaves had came in some kind of blue can and at first, it looked like he wasn’t getting anything from it.
The Owls are headed to their first ever national semifinal after taking down the Wildcats in Madison Square Garden.
Florida Atlantic kept its Cinderella season alive with a thrilling Elite Eight win over Kansas State.
On the sport’s biggest stage at Madison Square Garden, the No. 9 seed Owls won the East Regional, advancing to the Final Four for the first time in school history. After taking a 42–38 lead into halftime, the Owls held on in the second half to earn a 79–76 win.
Florida Atlantic shot a blistering 48.
Florida Atlantic had never won an NCAA tournament game until this March. Now they’re in the Final Four thanks to one of the most unprecedented runs ever.
No. 2 seed UConn will not appear in the Final Four for the first time since 2007, after Geno Auriemma’s Huskies struggled in the Sweet 16 of the Seattle 3 Regional on Saturday, falling to the No. 3 seed Ohio State Buckeyes 73-61.
The reliable defender never missed a game during his nine-year career in Philadelphia.
The sports world suffered a loss on Saturday when the Eagles announced that former Pro Bowl linebacker Frank LeMaster died Thursday at the age of 71.
LeMaster played all nine NFL seasons on Broad Street and was a pivotal part of Philadelphia’s 1980 NFC Championship squad, which ranked No. 1 in the NFL in points allowed. He then earned his first and only Pro Bowl selection the following season in ’81.
A major reunion in Seattle.
Bobby Wagner is headed back to Seattle.
The veteran NFL linebacker is reportedly signing a one-year deal to return to the Seahawks, according to a report from Seattle cornerback Quandre Diggs.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter confirmed the news break from the defensive back, indicating that it’s a one-year, $7 million deal for Wagner as he heads back to Seattle following his year-long stint with the Rams.
Former CNN+ host and crackhead Rex Chapman didn’t work the NCAA Tournament this year.
And for good reason. He isn’t good on television. He has the personality of a brick.
But we think there might be another reason why CBS/TNS didn’t renew him.
As internet users pointed out Saturday, this week is the one-year anniversary of the most memorable moment of Chapman’s media career.
A year ago, during the tournament, Chapman paid tribute to Pete Gillen, the former Providence and Virginia coach. He choked up while reminiscing about Gillen.
Sad if true.
However, it wasn’t true.
