The man on the Zoom screen, the one clad in a white T-shirt, his black hair closely cropped, is a runner.
Growing up in Dnieper, near Ukraine’s northern border, Artem Moroz ran and ran and ran. At first, he ran because running called to him. Then he ran because he cared about his health, because he wanted to stay active. Then he ran to complete marathons, grinding through the pain and lowering his times. But in all his days, through hundreds and hundreds of jaunts, he loved running through the forests in his hometown.
These forests were green, lush, magical.

Versatile South Carolina CB Cam Smith among first-round prospects in historic 2023 cornerback class
The 2023 NFL Draft cornerback class is historically loaded, featuring multiple high-end talents such as Penn State’s Joey Porter Jr, Oregon’s Christian Gonzalez, and Illinois’ Devon Witherspoon. There is a chance we see five or six cornerbacks selected in the first round, with the majority of them getting their due in terms of hype. However, the most underrated of the bunch might be South Carolina’s Cam Smith.

“We’re not street fighters.” After Friday’s loss, Staley emphasized that South Carolina is “not changing.

Michigan’s basketball team took a huge blow Friday when Hunter Dickinson decided to transfer.
The Wolverines big man decided his time in Ann Arbor is over three seasons, and that’s bad news for Michigan.

DALLAS — On Friday morning, trying to fill the slow hours before the biggest game in program history, Iowa associate head coach Jan Jensen decided to see her boss. She went to Hawkeyes head coach Lisa Bluder’s hotel suite, and for a few long moments, the pair sat in uncharacteristic silence. Bluder was the one to break it.
We’re the only people who think we can do this.
“Yeah,” Jensen responded. “But that’s the only people that matter.”
Some of that was simple confidence, the kind of ordinary belief needed to fuel any upset victory. But some of it was rooted in specifics.

On the biggest stage, when the lights are the brightest, Caitlin Clark plays her biggest games.

Caitlin Clark propelled Iowa into the national title game with 41 points, and the Hawkeyes ended South Carolina’s perfect season with a 77-73 win Friday night.

DALLAS — Alexis Morris took a modern route to the national championship game: from Baylor to Rutgers to Texas A&M to LSU and then through Virginia Tech’s defense. It was a long journey for a player who gets from Point A to Point B so quickly, but it will end where she expected to be in the beginning: playing to win a title with Kim Mulkey.
LSU has gone deeper into the NCAA tournament than ever before, making this achievement both unprecedented and entirely predictable. This is why the school hired Mulkey from Baylor two springs ago. She won three national titles at Baylor.
