LSU coach Brian Kelly joined Barstool’s Bussin’ With the Boys podcast on Monday to discuss his move to LSU, the team’s success in his first year and more.
The Tigers went 10–4 on the season, including a 6–2 record in SEC play that featured a conference championship game appearance against eventual national champion Georgia.
Given his long tenure at Notre Dame that featured plenty of success, coupled with his quick ascent at LSU, it would not be surprising if the NFL came calling for the veteran coach.

Despite dropping 23 points in the Bulls’ crucial play-in tournament win over the Raptors on Wednesday night, DeMar DeRozan’s efforts were completely overshadowed by his daughter’s defensive prowess. 
Throughout the game, a high-pitched scream could be heard every time a Toronto player stepped to the free-throw line during the home game. After a while, the source was finally found to be 9-year-old Diar. She went viral for her hilarious contributions and she was extremely effective, holding the Raptors to just 50% (18-for-36) from the charity stripe. Chicago went on to win 109–105.

Shaq is typically pretty tame with his takes, but that has not been the case following his alma mater LSU and its women’s basketball team winning the national title over Iowa. Not only did he recently spew a wild and inaccurate take about LSU’s Angel Reese, but also brought race into the situation while discussing First Lady Jill Biden and the Hawkeyes.
Biden, following in the footsteps of her husband, decided to sound like a moron by making a comment about inviting Iowa to the White House along with LSU the day after the Tigers beat the Hawkeyes in the national title game.

The conversation around Rudy Gobert is only getting louder.
The Lakers triumphed over Timberwolves to begin the 2023 NBA play-in tournament on Tuesday night, with what should have been Dennis Schröder’s dagger corner three against the Minnesota, capping a brilliant second half. The Wolves would eventually lose in overtime, handing in an unmemorable bummer performance, sending them to a life or death one game playoff Friday, and what could transform a merely bad season into one of the all-time worst, franchise-derailing NBA seasons.

Hiroshi Tanahashi is supposed to be in the twilight of his career. Yet that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Now 46, Tanahashi should be focused on his postwrestling endeavors. But the industry icon still presents an aesthetic in the ring that evokes emotion and harnesses excitement. He remains in astounding shape, possesses a well-defined presence that makes people invested in his work, and hits his high notes better than any other fan favorite.

Add the Women’s Tennis Association to the list of companies and organizations that have buckled to China’s will. The women’s tennis tour has announced they’ll end their boycott of the country, despite never getting the meeting with player Peng Shuai they had requested.
The WTA has been boycotting China since 2021 over Peng’s safety. This became a concern after she accused a high-ranking government official of sexual assault.
WTA Chairman and CEO Steve Simon told the Associated Press that the tour has ended its boycott because it doesn’t work.

Hanna and Haley Cavinder announced that they would not be returning to school for their fifth-year of eligibility at Miami, a shocking move that changed the outlook of the ACC next season.
The twins joined The Today Show on NBC on Thursday morning to discuss their careers and what’s next.
“I think after playing all four years together and deciding not to take our fifth year, we decided there’s more opportunities besides basketball,” Haley said.

The Cavinder twins might already have their next major career move lined up.
Haley and Hanna Cavinder recently announced their college basketball careers have come to an end, and it’s now time for them to pursue massive deals off the court.
The talented sisters, who are 22-years-old, have had a partnership with the WWE since late 2021. The WWE’s NIL program is designed to identify potential talent and facilitate their move to the wrestling organization.
It now sounds like they might be ready to crank things up to the next level.

Two of the most dominant pitchers in Vanderbilt baseball history are back together on the Major League Baseball level, kind of. Jack Leiter and Kumar Rocker, though on different levels, are both in the Texas Rangers organization after leading the Commodores’ staff in 2020-21.

Kumar Rocker and Jack Leiter Look To Lead Vanderbilt To Title

Jack Leiter is on the Double-A level.
Leiter, son of Al, was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft. He went 13-4 with a sub-two ERA in college and rung up 201 of his 690 batters face along the way.
