Raquel Welch Has Died

Ohio State cancels home and home football game series with the Washington Huskies. The Bucks were scheduled to play in Seattle in 2024 and UW was to come to Columbus in 2025.

Re: Shot Clock?

Re: Marshall basketball 22-23

Marshall having a great season. 20 wins already and 3rd place in the Sun Belt Conference in their first year. Still The Herd ranks only at 74th in the RPI and KenPom rankings. Can they make the NCAA field without winning their conference tournament?
