The Arkansas Bench Threw A Shoe Onto The Court In The Middle Of Play
This might be the most bizarre sequence of events you'll see this NCAA tournament. First, for some unknown reason, Arkansas's Rashad Madden kicked his shoe off and into the crowd. I suppose it was loose and he felt he was better off without one?...
Arkansas Bro Tries To Catch Home Run Ball In His Visor
With sixteen meaningful college basketball games on today, it's entirely understandable why someone would want to sit out in the rain watching SEC baseball.

Travis Kelce Loses Rodeo Dance Contest To Fan Nicknamed "Skim Milk"
Okay, let's get one thing out of the way here: Travis Kelce got jobbed by whoever was responsible for picking his song. You can't ask a showman like Kelce to participate in a dance contest and then hit him with "It's Not Unusual." Having said all that, even if the DJ had dropped "Booty Work" or "Dro...
Bill Self Gets Crushed By Court-Stormers, Is Not Pleased
Unranked Kansas State knocked off the in-state rival Jayhawks at home last night, and that means it was time for a good old-fashioned court stormin'. Unfortunately for Kansas head coach Bill Self, the students who ran onto the court weren't too concerned with his well-being....
