9+ min ago (296+ words) ORANGE BEACH, Ala. " Cumberland's men saw their soccer season come to a heartbreaking close Monday afternoon, falling 2-1 to Georgia Gwinnett at the NAIA National Championships final site. The Phoenix struck first and carried the lead deep into the opening half, but the Grizzlies answered just before the break and later found the winner in the 82nd minute. Georgia Gwinnett moved on to face Grand View in Thursday's quarterfinals, while Cumberland closed the year at 14-4-3. Despite Cumberland controlling much of the half, Georgia Gwinnett punched back at the critical moment. The Grizzlies equalized just before halftime, as Gabriel Martins delivered in the 44th minute to send both teams into the break level at 1-1. But in a match played on a razor's edge, the Grizzlies capitalized on one of their few late opportunities. Josefa Simao scored the eventual game-winner in the 82nd minute, finishing off…...

11+ min ago (463+ words) The Las Vegas Raiders dropped to 2-10 following their Week 13 defeat against the Los Angeles Chargers, leaving head coach Pete Carroll's future in serious doubt. The mounting struggles raise the question of whether Carroll will last only one season with the Silver and Black. After parting ways with offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, one of the highest-paid at his position in the league, it's not hard to imagine the Raiders cutting ties with Carroll and acknowledging that the hire didn't work out. With only five games left in their 2025 NFL season, the prominent question surrounding the Raiders is whether Carroll will get a Year 2, and for Las Vegas sports radio host JT the Brick, the answer is yes. "Pete Carroll is not going to go out at the bottom with the two-win Raider team. Don't they have the right, with their legacy,…...

15+ min ago (789+ words) MADISON, S.D. " A cold-shooting second half spelled trouble for Dakota Wesleyan's chances to upend rival Dakota State in the Battle of the Blues game on Tuesday night. Following an even first half, Dakota State slowly but steadily pulled away from DWU on the way to a 64-53 victory at the DSU Fieldhouse, the Trojans' second-straight home win in the series. On top of the rivalry stakes, Tuesday's contest also featured the unique circumstances of former DWU coach Kevin Williamson now leading DSU against the Tigers and new head coach Sam Nicholson, who was on Williamson's DWU staff in 2024-25. However, both men downplayed the significance of that impact on the game itself. "This is such a heated rivalry as it is," Nicholson said. "I think the game, and it's Dakota Wesleyan versus them, eats up most of that." "I really enjoyed coaching a…...

Blue Cain added 17 points, seven rebounds and five assists, while Kanon Catchings tallied 17 points and six boards for Georgia (8-1).

The Hurricanes (7-2) equaled their win total from last season and snapped a 16-game road losing streak, winning their first true road game since Jan. 24, 2024 at Notre Dame.

25+ min ago (713+ words) Syracuse upset No. 13 Tennessee, 62-60, to improve to 5-3. Syracuse put together an impressive defense performance to stifle both of the Volunteer's top scorers, Nate Ament and Ja'Kobi Gillespie. The win marks the second time under Adrian Autry that Syracuse has beaten a ranked team. Here are some takeaways from the biggest win of the season for the Orange. JJ Starling hit two of the biggest shots down the stretch. A 3 to take the lead with three minutes to go and a jump shot to put the Orange up 60-56 with 2:05 remaining. They were the last two field goals Syracuse scored. The longest-tenured Syracuse player stepped up when it mattered as 11 of his 12 points came in the second half. He also only turned the ball over once along with his two assists in a game where turnovers were prevalent and assists were scarce....

28+ min ago (719+ words) Syracuse, N.Y. " It would be hyperbolic to say that Syracuse's hopes for an NCAA tournament bid were on the line Tuesday as the Orange hosted 13th-ranked Tennessee at the JMA Wireless Dome. But still, this game was huge. Moral victories, perhaps, but those don't help boost one's NCAA tournament resume. Quad 1 losses are still losses in the long run. That meant Syracuse's last chance for a big win came down to Tuesday's game against Tennessee. Syracuse coach Adrian Autry tried to get his players to focus on effort and not the big picture. "We talked about everything we've been working on," he said, "as far as the summer coming together and being in one unit and one team and really fighting." Syracuse would upset Tennessee, 62-60, as the Orange's harassing defense held Tennessee to its fewest points of the season. "They're the…...

35+ min ago (808+ words) Syracuse, N.Y. " He talked, before a moment of college basketball was played this season, about his intent to guard people. JJ Starling, the hometown kid from Baldwinsville, had for his entire career been lauded for his ability to attack the rim, his skill at sinking mid-range jump shots, his scoring prowess. "Last year, I was more offensive minded. My energy was exerted on that end and therefore I had a lot of mental lapses on the defensive end and I knew I had to get better," Starling said. "I wanted to help this team win and become a more complete player." Starling scored 12 points in his 33 minutes and three seconds of basketball work Tuesday night in SU's thrilling 62-60 win over Tennessee in the JMA Wireless Dome. Eleven of those points came in the second half, when SU was battling toe-to-toe with…...
