For Stan Van Gundy, coaching basketball is the family business. His father Bill coached collegiate basketball, while Stan and his brother Jeff both coached in the NBA. But Stan is hoping his daughters don’t carry on that tradition. Well, at least that they don’t marry into it.
During Thursday night’s TBS broadcast of the Sweet 16 match-up between the UConn Huskies and San Diego State Aztecs, Van Gundy said he wants his daughters to steer clear of coaches.

Dez Bryant was the biggest loser of the Alabama-UNC Sweet 16 matchup last night, and it wasn’t close.
To be clear, the Tar Heels took this loss hard. North Carolina coach Hubert Davis, guards RJ Davis and Vormac Ryan, and power forward Armando Bacot looked like zombies in their postgame press conference. Like most of America, they could not believe that the Crimson Tide managed to come from behind to win 89-87 in an instant classic.
Tar Heel fans were also at a complete loss as well that the No. 1 seed in the West region fell to Alabama.
The NHL season is winding down, which means it’s time to start looking ahead to some awards.
One that doesn’t garner a ton of pontificating is the Jim Gregory General Manager of the Year Award, but I think we need to talk about it.
Specifically, the case for giving it to Philadelphia Flyers GM Daniel Briere.
Look, I know what you’re thinking. If you’ve been ‘round these parts long enough, you’ll know I’m a Flyers fan.

Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm are arguably the two best golfers in the world. Who do you think is better?
Golf fans have been longing for the next Tiger Woods. The dust has settled from his dominance and it is becoming clearer that we may never see another Woods again.
But one positive from that realization is that golf fans can debate again who they believe is the best player in the world.
At this point, there are only two men you could possibly contemplate: Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm.
All four 1-seeds. The nation’s only unbeaten. The defending champs. And individual stars for days. The Sweet 16 is full of potential.
The accolades just keep on piling up for Caitlin Clark. The Iowa Hawkeyes star has been invited to participate in the United States women’s basketball training camp in Cleveland ahead of the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics.
There’s only one problem: That camp is scheduled for April 3-5, and the NCAA Women’s Final Four takes place April 5 — with the National Championship game just two nights later. Of course, Iowa still has to win two more games to reach its second-straight Final Four, starting with Saturday’s Sweet 16 match-up against No. 5 Colorado in Albany.

The Huskies are three wins away from doing something that hasn’t been done in 17 years.
Billy Donovan should feel uncomfortable.
This has nothing to do with anything happening in Chicago, and everything to do with things happening in Boston.
Thursday night, the UConn Huskies put on absolute show inside TD Garden, pasting San Diego State by 30 in a rematch on last year’s national championship game that Danny Hurley’s team won by 17.
The Gonzaga Bulldogs released an epic hype video ahead of their Sweet 16 matchup with the Purdue Boilermakers.
At 7:39 p.m. EST (for no good reason) the 5th-seeded Bulldogs will take on the top seed in the Midwest Region. Gonzaga had to beat McNeese and Kansas to get here, and the Bulldogs defeated each opponent by 25 or more points. Neither opponent was all that great, but a team playing great basketball in the tournament (like Gonzaga) should not be taken lightly.
The Bulldogs fully believe they’re meant to be here, which adds to how dangerous they can be.
