Here’s our latest look at the 2023 NBA Draft following March Madness.

Ready for the 2023 NFL draft?
With free agency’s big signings in the rearview mirror, the NFL now hurdles toward the draft, which is April 27 to 29 in Kansas City.
The first round could see four quarterbacks go in as many picks, something that’s never happened before. Then there are the teams with multiple first-rounders, including the Texans, Lions, Seahawks and Eagles, while the Rams, Dolphins, Browns, 49ers and Broncos don’t have selections until Day 2.

Boise State fans now have a duty to the Broncos to hammer some cold beers.
Ever since the start of the NIL era, there have been lots of people trying to figure out fun and unique ways to funnel money to players.
Well, if you’re a fan of beer and college football, Boise State might take the cake. The Western Collective brewery is brewing The Horseshoe Golden Ale, and it’s “a co-branded beer that’s marketed in conjunction with The Horseshoe Collective,” according to On3.
Boise State NIL collective will be helped by beer brewery.

The Huskies’ title comes amid a confluence of events for the Big East that have the league surging.

UConn’s five titles since 1999 is more than any program in that span. No matter the label, it’s time to recognize the Huskies as one of the sport’s best programs.

UConn beat San Diego State for its fifth title in program history.

UConn completed its dominant run through the NCAA tournament on Monday night, defeating San Diego State in Houston to win the Huskies’ fifth national championship and first under coach Dan Hurley.

While UConn has just cut down the nets in Houston as the 2023 national champions, the oddsmakers are already projecting which school will win next year’s men’s NCAA title. The Huskies are tied for the third best odds at +1500 and if they win again in 2024, they’d become the first school to repeat as champions since Florida won back-to-back titles in 2006-2007.
As for the favorites to win March Madness in 2024, Duke has the best odds at +1000.

HOUSTON—UConn has its fifth national championship in program history.
The Huskies completed a remarkable five-year rebuild by coach Dan Hurley to bring the program back to prominence. A No. 4 seed, UConn was dominant all tournament, even if Monday’s 76–59 victory against San Diego State may have been a bit deceiving after the Aztecs pulled within five points late in the second half.
