Elvin Hayes tried. So did the famous Phi Slama Jama crew. Now, Kelvin Sampson’s Cougars are the ones looking to break Houston’s futility at the Big Dance.
Kelvin Sampson settles into a chair in his office and offers a succinct review of his Cougars’ 17-point victory against Wichita State the night before. “We played like s—,” he says. There is a scowl on his face, but it’s quickly replaced by a small smile and a brief chuckle.
“We play like s— a lot,” he adds.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – For a couple of hours on Wednesday at the NCAA Tournament here at Legacy Arena, it looked like the news day might actually stay focused on basketball.
Auburn coach Bruce Pearl was entertaining and informative as usual in his press conference.
WELCOME TO THE IRON BOWL NCAA TOURNAMENT
Then Maryland first-year coach Kevin Willard dropped this. “We’ll win a national championship a lot sooner than people think.”
Wow, impressive confidence.
Then Alabama stepped to the podium. Freshman guard Brandon Miller and junior guard Mark Sears sat down.

All signs seem to be pointing to Bronny James forgoing college and immediately making the jump to the professional game before being eligible for the NBA. Kevin Durant doesn’t necessarily see that as the best move for LeBron James’ son.
Bronny, who will graduate from Sierra Canyon High School in just a couple of months, is garnered as a four-star recruit by most recruiting websites. Given who his father is, every school in the country would like to add him to its roster given how much-added publicity, and revenue, Bronny would bring to a program.

Here’s our latest projection of the 2023 NBA Draft.
The 2023 NBA Draft is notable for the lack of college talent projected at the very top of the order. French super prospect Victor Wembanyama is the no-brainer pick at No. 1 overall, giving the lucky team that wins the lottery a potential league-altering 7’5 big man who can dominate the rim on both ends and splash jump shots from all over the court. G League Ignite point guard Scoot Henderson, an Atlanta native, has been projected as the No. 2 selection all season.

This is one of the most unpredictable fields in history, with a No. 1 seed that began the college hoops season unranked, feisty mid-majors and lots of contenders.

Conor McGregor was in prime form Wednesday night during an interview with Sean Hannity.
The UFC legend is known for never filtering his thoughts, and he didn’t change that mentality when talking with the Fox News host and Tunnel to Towers Foundation Frank Siller.
Tunnel to Towers Foundation is a charity that helps first responders and military families, and was formed after Frank’s heroic brother Stephen was killed carrying out his firefighter duties on 9/11.
“Frank, I’m honored to support you.

Zach Wilson might regret some words he shared about the Jets signing a veteran to be QB1.
Wilson’s tenure with the Jets hasn’t gone well, and this past season was nothing short of a complete and total disaster.
He was benched, performed at a level not even close to expectations and everyone could see the writing on the wall the team had to make a change. Owner Woody Johnson even openly stated something had to happen at the QB position.
