Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton has been one of the NBA’s fastest-rising stars through the 2023-24 NBA season, and much of last year as well. The newfound attention certainly has driven league-wide interest in the 24-year-old.
On Tuesday, Haliburton spoke about that, and specifically his decision to speak to a sports psychologist. During the comments, he highlighted the fact that sports betting has become a consistent topic on his social media threads, and also how he’s viewed in the eyes of many fans.

One basketball fan went viral Tuesday night for wearing a T-shirt that poked fun at two, well, not-so aesthetically pleasing college sports programs. The photo went viral during a First Four matchup between Virginia and Colorado State at UD Arena.

Translation: They can’t score.
A bomb threat in South Korea that threatened Shohei Ohtani and MLB’s season-opening game Wednesday between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres at the Gocheok Sky Dome turned out to be a hoax.
The threat, which emerged via email, warned of plans to detonate a bomb around the game and injure superstar Shohei Ohtani and others.
Police in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, identified the perpetrator as an individual with a history of false claims, per The Los Angeles Times.
You need to see where Zion caught this alley-oop.
The Virginia Cavaliers had a first half to forget Tuesday night.
No. 10 seed Virginia entered halftime trailing fellow No. 10 seed Colorado State 27–14 in their NCAA tournament First Four matchup at UD Arena.
The Cavaliers scored 14 points in 20 minutes of action. They didn’t score a single point over the final 9:20 of the first half, and didn’t find the scoreboard again until 3:20 into the second half.
Virginia shot 17.2% (5 of 29) from the floor and 22.2% from three-point range (2 of 9) in the first half. Colorado State was efficient, shooting 50% from the field (12 of 24) and 42.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts extended a helping hand to a Texas family that suffered a tragic loss last weekend.
Hurts reached out to the family of 18-year-old Jarvon Coles after the high school linebacker was gunned down at a house party in Humble, Texas. Hurts attended Channelview High School in Texas, which played against Coles’ school, North Shore H.S. in Houston.
The Eagles QB helped cover Coles’ funeral expenses and sent the family a video message commemorating the young footballer, which was played at the service.
The Cinderella story of the No. 16-seeded Wagner Seahawks lives on.
Wagner, which has had just seven healthy players available for much of the season, trotted out the same seven-man rotation Tuesday and defeated fellow No. 16 seed Howard 71–68 at UD Arena in its First Four matchup to advance to the Round of 64.
The Seahawks have had 12 different players on the floor this season, but that’s been cut down to just seven for the final third of the schedule. This stretch includes their improbable run to the NEC championship as the conference’s No. 6 seed.
Andrew Friedman reacted like the rest of us when he heard Shohei Ohtani’s contract proposal.
