West Virginia men’s basketball coach Bob Huggins made anti-LGBTQ comments directed at Xavier basketball fans during a recent radio appearance.
Via an audio clip from Awful Announcing, Huggins used an anti-LGBTQ slur when referring to Musketeers fans during a sitdown on the Bill Cunningham Show on 700 WLW, prompting laughter from the show’s hosts. 
“I tell you what, any school that can throw rubber penises on the floor and then say they didn’t do it. By God, they can get away with anything,” Huggins said.

Nikola Jokić’s encounter with new Suns owner Mat Ishbia was the viral moment of Phoenix’s Game 4 win, as Ishbia appeared to flop as Jokić tried to get the ball from him during a dead ball period. The Nuggets star received a technical for the incident, even though he didn’t seem to strike Ishbia.
On Monday, ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith addressed the situation on his podcast, and he commended Ishbia for his acting job.
“Mat Ishbia, bravo man, bravo,” Smith said. “That was a flop that Vlade Divac couldn’t have pulled off.

BATON ROUGE, La. – Sooner or later, LSU’s average pitching was going to catch up with its elite offense.
It happened over the weekend in Auburn, Alabama, to the Tigers, who had been No. 1 in virtually every poll since before the season.
LSU’s pitching collapsed for an 8-6 loss at Auburn on Saturday. Then disaster struck Sunday with a 12-2 loss in the series finale as four pitchers allowed eight hits and eight walks. That included four free passes by starter Christian Little, who did not record an out in the first inning.

Bob Huggins is in hot water after using a homosexual slur during a radio appearance on Monday afternoon. The 69-year-old college Basketball Hall of Famer not only used the word once, but doubled back and said it again moments thereafter.
Huggins, currently the head coach at West Virginia, coached at Cincinnati for 16 seasons from 1989-2005. He spoke to the Bearcats’ rivalry with Xavier on Monday during an appearance on Bill Cunningham’s radio show, which airs on 700WLW as part of the iHeartRadio Network. Things quickly got out of hand.

The Houston Texans seemed poised to draft either Bryce Young or CJ Stroud for most of the NFL Draft season. Whoever the Carolina Panthers did not select appeared to be the clear favorite to go to Houston.
But as the draft drew near, and the Panthers honed-in on Bryce Young, speculation ran rampant that the Texans did not want to pick Stroud.
OutKick previously reported that a source said Houston’s visit with Stroud was “terrible.” That’s why, in the days leading up to the NFL Draft, oddsmakers had Stroud as a heavy underdog to go second.

Alvarez seemed a tick or two worse Saturday than he was and given the talent in our Top 10, that causes him to drop.

We’re used to seeing Richardson announce her presence with colorful hair and racing fits inspired by the iconic Florence Griffith-Joyner. But these days, it seems she’s letting her running speak for her.

After University of Alabama baseball coach Brad Bohannon was fired last week amid an investigation into suspecious betting activity, another school is now being investigated, according to a report. Iowa Hawkeyes baseball is currently under investigation by the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission, which the commission confirmed Monday afternoon.
This all comes a week after the college baseball world was sent into a frenzy after Bohannon was implicated for gambling on the LSU game. Now, the University of Iowa’s baseball team is being investigated for potential infractions.

The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission is reportedly launching an investigation into the University of Iowa baseball team in regard to the suspension of multiple players ahead of the program’s recent series against Ohio State, according to Darren Rovell of the Action Network.
The school’s athletic department released a statement Friday, which read, “Due to a potential NCAA violation, we withheld some student-athletes from competition. We will have no additional comments as this is an ongoing investigation.

Jalin Hyatt was drafted by the New York Giants in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft after playing three years at Tennessee. Although he had one of the best seasons in college football last year, questions continue to swirl around his ability to translate to the next level.
Why? Because Josh Heupel’s fast-paced, big-play offensive scheme may have been too simple.
Seriously. Some (if not many) coaching staffs, analysts and fans alike are worried that the Volunteers’ offense was so elementary that he won’t know what to do in the NFL.
