Wichita State Finally Loses; Kentucky Advances To Sweet 16
This will be a tough game to top. Kentucky beat the No. 1 seed and previously undefeated Wichita State Shockers 78-76. It was an offensive showcase—especially for Wichita State's Cleanthony Early who had 31 points and one thunderous dunk—and both teams exchanged leads for most of the second half. ...
Cleanthony Early Hammers Dunk Over Kentucky
Fred Van Vleet found Cleanthony Early streaking to the rim near the end of the first half of Wichita St.-Kentucky and it was just all over. Done. Said Shockers coach Gregg Marshall, "I just wish we had more time in the half." Same....
Stanford Withstands Comeback, Beats Kansas In Another Wild Upset
Stanford beat the No. 2 seed Kansas Jayhawks in St. Louis 60-57.

Goalkeeper Blows Game With Enormous Boner In Added Time
Poor Dimitrios Konstantopoulos. It's bad enough the Middlesbrough goalkeeper cost his team a point today against QPR by allowing a goal in the 94th minute, but it's how he did it—by completely whiffing on a clearance and allowing Bobby Zamora the chance to walk in a goal—that is utterly embarrassing...
Wayne Rooney Scores Goal From 50 Yards Away
Wayne Rooney opened the scoring for Manchester United today with a long-range bomb reminiscent of Luis Suarez's goal for Liverpool two years ago, a 50-yard volley that left NBC's announcers almost at a loss for words. We're sure Rooney's West Ham opponents had a few, though....
How To Make Sausage Gravy, And Shave A Few Years Off Your Lifespan
Sausage gravy is deeply, deeply disreputable food. In its typical presentation, slopped across biscuits in some charmingly run-down roadside diner with Patsy Cline playing on the jukebox, it is, in essence, flour on flour, dressed up as actual sustenance by the inclusion of token quantities of butte...
VCU Loses In Overtime Thanks To Bonehead Foul
This is crazy. VCU was up five with 30 seconds to play and managed to piss this game away, losing 77-75 in overtime to Stephen F. Austin. With 10 seconds, and a 67-63 lead, VCU missed two free throws. Whatever, right? The game is basically over. Let them take a shot, worst case scenario: they hit a...
Russell Westbrook Knocked Out Of Game With Knee Injury [UPDATE]

Before his team faced off against New Mexico State at 8:03 local time last night, San Diego State head coach Steve Fisher was told by the NCAA that the losing team would need to leave Spokane, Wash., and head home immediately after the game.

Inside The Barclays Center's Mysterious Meditation Room

Manchester United Get A Big Win, Remain Soccer's Funniest Joke
Coaches and players often say, when asked whether something or other has added fire to an upcoming game, that if just being in the Big Time Sporting Event doesn't motivate you, you're beyond hope anyway. If that's true, then Manchester United's passion-filled 3-0 comeback against Olympiakos probably...
