Kim Mulkey is in her second season as the head women’s basketball coach at LSU after 21 dominant years at Baylor. As the Tigers roll into Texas for the Final Four, they are taking the pettiness to the next level.
Mulkey won 632 of her 736 games with the Bears (85.9%), reached four Final Fours, 11 Big 12 tournament titles, 12 Big 12 regular season titles, made the NCAA Tournament in all-but one year, and won three national championships. She is one of the greatest college basketball coaches of all-time.
However, in a pretty surprising move, Mulkey left Baylor for LSU in April of 2021.

Miami overhauled its offense, and it put them in the men’s Final Four. Here’s why the Hurricanes are so hard to defend
After three years in the doldrums of the ACC, Miami revitalized its offense for the 2021-22 season. What had become a rote, high-volume pick-and-roll offense needed some added punch. With a versatile collection of on-ball creators, Miami shifted to more 5-out looks with veteran center Sam Waardenburg as the floor-spacing big man.
Waardenburg’s gravity as a pick-and-pop shooter (41.

Mark your calendars, people. Make travel plans the first week in June. Pack your sunscreen, get your Disneyland tickets and save a few extra bucks for the outrageous California gas prices.
The Lakers are going to the NBA Finals.
This isn’t a knee-jerk reaction to Wednesday night’s win against Chicago, which pulled L.A. back to .500 for just the second time this season. Anthony Davis scored 38 points in that one. LeBron James, back in the starting lineup, chipped in 25. The Lakers’ three-point defense—second best in the league, per NBA.com—held the Bulls to 27.

Why are Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz wearing these weird goggles?
Things aren’t going great at Ferrari right now. The team is still trying to recover from Mattia Binotto’s resignation, The Prancing Horse is fourth in the constructors and struggling to keep up with Mercedes and Aston Martin, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz are having friction — and everything feels like it could explode at any moment.
It’s important in times like this to gain a new perspective. In this case, one that’s totally upside down.

Mavericks star guard Kyrie Irving did not mince words when discussing his team’s struggles in a crowded Western Conference. 
Dallas is fighting for a play-in spot in the NBA’s postseason, and after the team’s 116–108 loss to the 76ers, Irving touched on acclimating to his new team while trying to make the playoffs.
“I think that now, again, just where we are in the season, and where other teams are positioned already, it kind of looks like a bit of a clusterf—, to be honest with you,” Irving said.

One former Patriots player doesn’t want to see Lamar Jackson playing in New England, and he expressed that to the former NFL MVP on Twitter.

Lane Kiffin cannot wrap his head around the way in which Texas A&M is approaching its spring football practice. He is also confused by how Jimbo Fisher looks at offenses across the country.
As the Aggies continue to prepare for their sixth season with Fisher at the helm, the offense is being led by the ever-controversial Bobby Petrino. Although nothing has been made official, the expectation is that he will call plays this fall, considering that A&M’s offense struggled under Fisher’s watch.

The Bucks knocked off the Pacers 149–138 on Wednesday night thanks to an outstanding performance by Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Giannis recorded a 38-point triple-double, as he added 17 rebounds and 12 assists in the road victory, and can thank his brother for calming him during a frustrating moment in-game.
Thanasis Antetokounmpo was seen talking to a visibly-frustrated Giannis on the bench, before leaning over and hugging him and giving him words of encouragement in his ear. 
Giannis went from visibly annoyed to calm as he returned to the floor.

Olivia Dunne’s profile is only rising with every passing day.
In 2022, On3 gave the LSU gymnast an NIL valuation of $2.3 million. That was already among the highest in America.
Well, the rich often get richer, and Dunne definitely is an exception to that rule in life. In the latest On3 NIL valuations, the social media superstar has a valuation of $3.4 million. That’s third in America. Only Bronny James and Arch Manning are ranked ahead of her.
Caleb Williams, who won the Heisman in 2022, has a valuation of $800,000 less at $2.6 million. Think about that for a moment.
