How Many Seconds Of Denis Shapovalov's Rap Can You Tolerate?
Denis Shapovalov is a favorite around these parts. The 19-year-old plays a stirring, free-wheeling style of tennis thanks to weapons like his backhand, seen on display in Tuesday’s second-round upset of No. 10 seed Marin Cilic at Indian Wells. But rap is not one of those weapons....

You have two options when you’re down over 20 points at home against one of top teams in your conference with less than three minutes remaining: you can run out the clock and mentally move on to the next game like a coward, or you can use the open floorspace and lax defense to pull off some gravity-...
Mark Turgeon Implores Maryland Crowd To Stop Calling Michigan's Ignas Brazdeikis Ugly
Maryland fans were waiting for Michigan freshman Ignas Brazdeikis to get to the free throw line. It wasn’t because he’s terrible from the charity stripe, where he hits 76.5 percent of his shots.

Michigan Remembered Its Identity And Smothered Maryland To Death With It
Maryland did an excellent job surprising the crowd at the Crisler Center during its game against Michigan on Saturday.

Maryland’s Bruno Fernando made an enemy out of every man, woman, and child in Nebraska tonight, as in the second half of the Terrapins’ road game against the Cornhuskers, the brilliant big man finished off a dunk with some Ndamukong Suh action on poor Tanner Borschart.

How Baylor Happened
WACO, Texas — There’s not much to recommend spending four years in Waco. Driving into town up Interstate 35 from the south, the endless stretch of Texas nothing fills out slowly.

Earlier today, Washington’s football team named Rob Ryan its inside linebackers coach. Linebacking is a skill that cannot be coached by just one man! They announced the hiring of the longtime NFL defensive coordinator with a press release and a tweet. The latter is what I’m interested in here....
Kenneth Faried Hustled The Raptors Into Oblivion
Kenneth Faried entered the league as an undersized, but explosive, power forward whose tenacity on the glass, high-flying dunks and absurd athleticism seemed to make up for the fact that he didn’t have many other discernible skills on the court. As his skills diminished in value and power—coupled wi...
