NBA trends tend to take their time trickling down to the college game. Several modern concepts—how to use pace and space offensively, a ball-screen-centric style of play—are just now beginning to influence college basketball. And as high-profile moves at some of the nation’s biggest programs over the past week have shown, the NBA and basketball’s global tilt has officially reached college hoops.
Sometimes, it’s better to be lucky than good. That’s no more true in sports than the game of golf. Every golfer knows the feeling of hitting a great shot that turns out terrible. But occasionally, that bad shot turns out great. Peter Malnati hit a bad putt on his 18th hole of the first round of the Wyndham Championship … but it still went in.
Sitting at even par on the day, Malnati arrived at the 18th tee. The final hole at Sedgefield Country Club is one of the toughest on the course.
It’s a 503-yard par-4.
Details have emerged regarding an incident involving pitcher Domingo Germán a day after the Yankees said the pitcher was being placed on the restricted list to undergo inpatient treatment for alcohol abuse.
According to SNY’s Andy Martino, Germán “grew belligerent” in the clubhouse Tuesday night and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and “did not appear in control of his emotions.” It’s unclear whether there was any type of altercation or if any of his teammates were involved.
Nebraska pole vaulter Jess Gardner is ready to get back to the grind as the new school year approaches, but she may be on an island.
Apparently, there are a couple unnamed Husker football players who are whining about fall camp, and Gardner ain’t happy about it.
Naturally, the TikTok star took to … TikTok … to call them out. Nearly 30,000 views later, we had ourselves a viral video.

Jess Gardner thinks Nebraska football players need to toughen up
Hear that, fellas? Tighten the hell up.
Devin Haney was arrested last month on a felony weapons charge after a traffic stop in Los Angeles.
No matter how bad the Browns got, Joe Thomas’ play never slipped.
Antonio Gibson has been on both sides of the ongoing trouble amongst running backs in the NFL. In hindsight, he wishes that wasn’t the case.
Gibson, entering his third year in the NFL, is set to split time in the backfield with Brian Robinson this fall. Washington uses the 25-year-old as a running back, but nearly 20% of his career touches have come as a receiver.

He is the perfect pass-catching back because, well, he is a pass-catcher at heart.
Atlanta hasn’t finished above .500 since 2017, but the Falcons’ yearslong approach to versatility — headlined by No. 8 overall pick Bijan Robinson — has them feeling optimistic.
The Cowboys didn’t trade for wide receiver Brandin Cooks to have him become just another weapon for the offense. They’re implementing ways to make sure he has a chance to be involved in as many situations as possible, which shouldn’t be hard with CeeDee Lamb lining up alongside him.
And as The Athletic’s Jon Machota recently revealed, the plan for Dallas is to literally make sure Cooks and Lamb are lined up next to each other … as in directly next to each other.
