The NCAA Tournament will feature a unique Final Four starting this Saturday.
FAU/San Diego State and UConn/Miami will battle it out to punch tickets to the national title next Monday.
However, unlike most years, not a single one seed made it. In fact, for the first time in NCAA Tournament history, not a single one, two or three seed will be playing in the Final Four.
UConn is a four, SDSU and Miami are fives and FAU, the most unlikely Final Four participant, is a nine seed.

For the first time in NCAA Tournament history, the Final Four will not feature a 1, 2, or 3 seed.

PHOENIX — The NFL annual meeting at the ritzy Arizona Biltmore has begun and that means news that fans care about is going to surround the conversations that inevitably happen when coaches and general managers gather in one spot: Trades, contracts big and small, and the upcoming draft.
This year those conversations involve players such as future Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Cardinals receiver DeAndre Hopkins, Alabama quarterback Bryce Young, Ohio State’s C.J.

A poor 2022 season and subpar measurables could impact Jordan Addison’s selection in the 2023 NFL Draft
USC wide receiver Jordan Addison enters the 2023 NFL Draft as one of the most decorated pass-catchers in the class. A receiver that burst onto the scene at Pittsburgh in 2020, Addison won the Fred Biletnikoff Award in 2021 en route to earning Consensus All-American honors. Addison then transferred to USC ahead of the 2022 campaign.

Iowa’s Caitlin Clark is a baddd, baddd woman, and she showed up on the biggest of stages on Sunday to help punch the Hawkeyes’ ticket to their first Final Four since 1993.
Clark is truly a one-of-a-kind player the women’s game has ever seen as she plays a lot like Steph Curry in the sense that she will literally pull up from anywhere on the floor. Logo and stepback threes aren’t just a part of her game, they are her game, and she was feeling it in a major way against Louisville.

The Final Four is set, but how do they stack up?
We are down to four.
Houston beckons for the Final Four, as Florida Atlantic, San Diego State, Connecticut, and Miami have emerged as the last four teams standing. With FAU and San Diego State squaring off in one of the two games, fans are guaranteed to see a school in the National Championship Game for the first time in their history, as this is the first Final Four for both the Owls and the Aztecs.

The Final Four is set, and it’s one of the weirdest of all-time. That’s … pretty great.
Big thanks to everyone who’s read these recaps over the last couple of weeks. I hope they’ve been as much fun to rip through as they’ve been to put together.
Once more into the fray …

(5) San Diego State 57, (6) Creighton 56 (South)
It may have featured long stretches of abysmal offense and it may have finished with a wildly unsatisfying ending, but San Diego State-Creighton was unquestionably competitive throughout.

Some more old comments from Alabama coach Nick Saban have resurfaced and his words are worth your attention.
Occasionally, old Saban clips bubble back up on Twitter, and it’s always a great reminder just how smart the Crimson Tide leader is.
The latest video to pop back up was from a few years ago when Saban was talking about focusing on today – not tomorrow.

UFC fighter Merab Dvalishvili tried to hop into the stands at UFC San Antonio to go after a fan.
A fan was trash talking and chirping the Georgia-born fighter about getting in the octagon against his friend and teammate Aljamain Sterling. The two have previously stated they’re not interested in fighting each other, according to BJPenn.com.
Well, Dvalishvili didn’t take kindly to essentially being accused of ducking his buddy. While dropping f-bombs, Dvalishvili jumped up and pulled himself up into the stands looking for serious trouble.

The Italian manager’s time with Spurs has come to an end after a tumultuous 16 months with the club.
After a roller coaster of a 16-month spell in charge, Antonio Conte’s time at Tottenham has come to a fiery end.
Spurs announced that the 53-year-old manager was leaving the club Sunday following a disastrous draw to last-place Southampton last week. After the match, which Tottenham gave up a 3–1 lead with less than 20 minutes to play, the Italian used his postgame press conference to lambast club ownership, players and the team’s mindset.
