We’ve seen our fair share of crazy plays in the NCAA Tournament, but Indiana State set a new bar on Sunday against Iowa.
Coming off the heels of the Florida Gators getting thrown-out twice at home plate on the same play, Indiana State’s Adam Pottinger pulled off the mother of all fake catches. Iowa was trailing 11-7 in the 7th inning when Brayden Frazier stepped up to the plate. On the fifth pitch of the at-bat, Frazier sent a bomb to left field, only to have Pottinger pull off a catch. Almost.
What Pottinger did was pull off a fake catch. And a damn good one at that.

On Sunday night in Denver, Terrell Davis was just another sad Nuggets fan
As a sport fan, there is nothing tougher than seeing your team lose, and having to endure the celebration of the opposition fans right in front of you.
That is the life that former Denver Broncos running back Terrell Davis led on Sunday night.
After Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler buried a three to give the heat a 95-89 lead with just under seven minutes remaining, TV cameras captured some Heat fans celebrating the huge shot.
Back-to-back weeks with playoffs on the PGA Tour is always fun, and the Memorial delivered just that thanks to Viktor Hovland putting together an unbelievable back-nine Sunday.
While it was an all-time Sunday for Hovland at the Memorial, the same can’t be said for Rory McIlroy as he turned into a real-life ghost after beginning the final round tied atop the leaderboard. McIlroy did get a win off the course, however, thanks to Phil Mickelson throwing a ridiculous take out there about Rory and LIV Golf.
Soon-to-be free agent Kyrie Irving is attempting to recruit Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James to the Dallas Mavericks, according to multiple reports.
Newly retired MLB star Albert Pujols will remain close to the sport, as he was named as a special assistant to commissioner Robert Manfred on Monday.
With this new role, the former Cardinals and Angels first baseman will work on various topics around the major leagues, but he will mainly focus on player relations and issues associated with his home country of the Dominican Republic.
Additionally, Pujols will work as an on-air analyst for MLB Network.
“I couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter of my career,” Pujols said, via MLB’s press release.
How paranoid are teams about pitch tipping? After Dodgers lefthander Julio Urías gave up four home runs to the Cardinals in the third inning May 18, Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts—while being interviewed the next inning on MLB Network—immediately speculated Urías might have been tipping his pitches.
After reviewing the video later, the Dodgers were satisfied that Urías was not tipping his pitches. (He would later go on the IL with a hamstring strain.) That Roberts arrived so quickly at the pitch-tipping theory tells you how prevalent that worry is in baseball these days.
