The Jackson State-Arkansas Pine-Bluff men’s college basketball game got WILD late Monday night.
Oh, you weren’t glued in on that showdown? First off, shame on you, because you missed mayhem in the stands between players, fans and perhaps members of JSU’s football team.
Then, you missed chaos on the court when a cheerleader got a little handsy in overtime.
See, this is why you can’t miss a second of SWAC basketball action!
Going in order, the first on-court disruption came with three minutes left in overtime. Yeah, you had to wait a while to get here, but the payoff was worth it.

Eric Stonestreet is an actor on Modern Family, an Emmy winner and a Kansas City, Kan., native. He’s also big into sports, whether driving the pace car at NASCAR races or rooting for his beloved Chiefs. And while he’s wary of overstating his connections with Kansas City’s front office, he has forged a unique relationship with GM Brett Veach and coach Andy Reid.
With the Chiefs heading back to a third Super Bowl in four years, Stonestreet shared his insights on his favorite team.

His answer will surprise most Kansas City fans.
Following the Chiefs’ win over the Bengals in the AFC championship, fans might think of tight end Travis Kelce or quarterback Patrick Mahomes as being the biggest trash talkers on the team.
Those two players clapped back at Bengals players, and even Cincinnati mayor Aftab Pureval, who had smack talked them before the game, calling Arrowhead “Burrowhead.” Kelce promptly replied by saying “Burrowhead, my a–!” after the game.

The Nike commercial for James was awesome
Last night, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James became the king of scoring in the NBA, with 38,390 points and becoming the all time leading scorer in NBA history, passing Laker legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
There were a lot of video tributes and memorials, but the one done by Nike stands out the most. Set to a gospel soundtrack, it shows 20 years of LeBron buckets in stills and black and white images.

20 years later, we are who we’ve always been – Witnesses to @KingJames never-ending greatness.

Rodgers is going to sit in a dark room for four days.
Aaron Rodgers isn’t ready to make a decision on the 2023 season yet. First comes sitting alone in the dark for four days. Seriously.
Rodgers has pivoted from ayahuasca to isolation this year. The Packers’ quarterback spoke to Pat McAfee on Tuesday, saying that he isn’t sure about his plans for the future yet — but will be attending a “Darkness Retreat,” where he hopes to gain some insight in sensory deprivation.

Target these player prop bets for Super Bowl LVII between the Chiefs and Eagles, including Patrick Mahomes’s attempts.
Jalen Hurts and the Eagles remain small 1.5-point favorites at SI Sportsbook over Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs after opening as 2.5-point favorites.
Sportsbooks continue to be flooded with bettors fading a banged-up Kansas City club in favor of a Philadelphia squad that has shown little areas of weakness en route to 16 wins in 19 games. Nearly 76% of the wagers placed on Super Bowl LVII have been in support of an Eagles’ victory.

What are the best games in the early part of the USFL season? Who is favored to win it all? We break it down.

Who would’ve thought loyal Wisconsin and Packers fans would seek to buy the team’s rival quarterback’s jersey?
Lids released numbers for the most sold NFL jerseys from each state this season.
While most states saw the most sales from their home teams’ players, such as Patrick Mahomes leading Missouri or Justin Jefferson leading Minnesota, there was one state that left people puzzled.
Wisconsin’s most sold jersey from the 2022 season was not a Packers player, though Lids sold the most jerseys from this team overall in the state.

Plus: Are the Suns and Pelicans back in business?
In 10 years, not a sole will remember that LeBron broke the NBA’s all-time scoring record in a midseason loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. They will, of course, remember it as it happened: epically, almost frozen in time. James rose and fired a midrange fadeaway over Thunder forward Kenrich Williams, and as the ball exited his hands, it seemed as though everything came to a halt.
