The Tennessee Volunteers defeated the Oklahoma Sooners on Wednesday night by the score of 89-66 at Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center. But at times, it certainly didn’t feel like a blowout on the court.
Nate Ament led Tennessee with 29 points and six rebounds. Ja’Kobi Gillespie was a force on both ends of the floor.

Ghosn was seen landing a strike to the face of Shabazz, punching him out at a party following a confrontation that appeared to be started by the influencer. Shabazz could be heard questioning why Ghosn would deny knowing who he was.

“I don’t know you,” Ghosn told Shabazz. “Nice to meet you, though.

It’s hard to believe, but in a refreshing turn of events, an American athlete at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina is actually proud to be representing the United States. 
If you’re rooting for Team USA, it’s been a frustrating few weeks. Instead of a time of collective unity built around supporting the team and the country, press conferences have been filled with absurd comments from skiers like Hunter Hess, turncoats like Eileen Gu, and self-obsessed skaters like Amber Glenn. And let’s not forget the self-serving platitudes from Mikaela Shiffrin.

Somebody had to lose Wednesday night.
In one of the best games of the college basketball season, it was Arkansas. The 20th-ranked Razorbacks got 49 points out of star freshman Darius Acuff Jr., but it wasn’t enough as No. 25 survived a double-overtime thriller for a 117-115 win.

Despite falling short of the postseason in 2025, the Detroit Lions are still being treated like one of the NFL’s elite by oddsmakers.
DraftKings has released 2026 regular-season win totals, and Detroit’s number is set at 10.5 wins, with the over priced at –130 and the under at +110.
That’s a notable vote of confidence for a team coming off a 9–7 record in 2025, a season that ended without a playoff berth. Even after that step back in the standings, betting markets are clearly expecting a bounce-back year in Detroit.

Bayern Munich’s star signing of the summer has delivered BIG TIME.
Luis Díaz continues to dazzle Bayern Munich fans with his incredible combination of speed, footwork, intensity, and an engine for days. His relentless pressing, combined with his defensive work and elite positioning, also makes him one of the most complete wingers in football. Bayern acquired the signing of the season so far from Liverpool, a club that ended up signing Bayern’s long-term transfer target Florian Wirtz.
Funny how things play out sometimes.

Former Broncos general manager Neal Dahlen has died, the team announced. He was 85.
Dahlen has seven Super Bowl rings, which is tied with Tom Brady for the second-most in history behind only Bill Belichick. He held the record alone for the most Super Bowl titles for an individual until Belichick and the Patriots won Super Bowl LI in 2017.
Dahlen worked for the 49ers from 1979-96, winning five Super Bowls. He served as the Broncos’ director of player personnel during their first two Super Bowl titles.
