Alabama went bonkers setting an NCAA record for most threes in a game at 25. They’re guaranteed a tough opponent in Arizona or Duke but with the Tide Rolling like this we may see Bama make their first ever appearance in the NCAA championship. #Alabama

Listen to me, @LydiaLysko, & @MatthewMason__ on the latest episode of @wvuafmsports’s The Crimson Case where we discuss the latest on Alabama Athletics & the NCAA Tournament.

Caleb Love averages 16 ppg in his career vs Duke with a winning record of 5-4. Also considering he only scored 8 points in the Arizona loss vs the Blue Devils earlier this season, expect Love to come out with a vengeance in the Sweet 16. #Arizona

With a great first half from Cooper Flag, Duke is looking to seal the win over Baylor with a 17 point lead heading into the 2nd half. Considering the defense Duke is displaying they’re going to be a tough team to beat if they continue to play with this intensity. #Duke

Look at the break out year Jerry Jeudy had with Jameis Winston at QB, now consider what we saw from rookie WR Malik Nabers with the QBs he had in New York. Now some mock drafts have Shedeur Sanders going to the Giants, but either way Nabers is in for an amazing year 2. #Giants

With the Vikings making it official that they don’t want to pursue Aaron Rodgers & rather stick with JJ McCarthy, the possibility of Rodgers retiring seems to be at its highest due to his shown disinterest with the Giants & Steelers. #AaronRodgers

With a current 1-8 record in their last 9 games the Mavericks are planning to send Anthony Davis & Jaden Hardy to the G League to prepare for their return. Do not understand why the Mavs are trying to bring back Davis when hopes for making a playoff run are long gone. #MFFL

The NCAA Tournament is almost here! First time appearances for High Point, UC San Diego, SIU Edwardsville, & Omaha on the men’s side & UCLA set to be a No. 1 seed for the first time for the women’s side. It truly is the best time of the year to be a basketball fan. #MarchMadness

Thanks to Darius Garland, who’s shown improvement in confidence, Evan Mobley who’s having a DPOY caliber season, & the Cavaliers other stars & role players playing at a high level, this could be the year that Cleveland finds themselves back in the NBA Finals. #LetEmKnow

According to Dianna Russini the Seahawks & Cowboys are showing a lot of interest in Cooper Kupp. Considering the Cowboys haven’t signed an external free agent worth more than 6.1 million in average annual value since 2015, the Seahawks look to be the likely destination. #SeaHawks

According to @yahoosports.bsky.social the delay in the Aaron Rodgers & Pittsburgh deal is not due to money but Rodgers taking extra time to think the deal over. I can’t see why the Steelers would pursue Rodgers after Russell Wilson just threw half the amount of INTs last season. #HereWeGo

The Timberwolves are on the cusp of a playoff seed thanks to additional help from Julius Randle along with Anthony Edwards averaging 27 & their supporting cast playing solid. Despite all the talent in the West this is still a team to watch out for come playoff time. #BringTheNice

After the Patriots signed Joshua Dobbs to a 2 year deal, New England is reportedly open to trading Joe Milton according to @cbsnews.com. Considering Fields is now in New York & Russell Wilson has yet to find a new team, Milton looks like a perfect fit for Pittsburgh. #HereWeGo

According to @cbssports.bsky.social the Cowboys, Seahawks, Ravens, Broncos, & Chargers are all potential landing spots for Cooper Kupp. I would like to see Kupp in Denver considering what their offense was able to do with rookie QB Bo Nix last season. #BroncosCountry

With a restructured deal, Derek Carr will remain the QB 1 for the Saints. Considering the Saints now have some extra cap & Davante Adams is a free agent, maybe we see a Carr & Adams reunion in New Orleans. #Saints

Saying Myles Garrett is in a tough situation is an understatement. According to @espn.com Browns owner Jimmy Haslam has refused to meet with Garrett to discuss the trade request. With 2 years left on his deal, if Cleveland decides not to trade him all he can do is play or sit. #Browns

According to the New York Post the Seahawks want first & third round picks for DK Metcalf, not to mention that Metcalf wants a deal worth at least $30 million a year according to The Athletic. An interesting destination would be the Chargers due to their need of WR help. #Chargers

Ben Johnson is already cooking in Chicago giving Caleb Williams the protection he needs acquiring Jonah Jackson & Joe Thuney. Now the only question is does Johnson trade for a center & use the No. 10 pick to get a weapon like Ashton Jeanty or find a center in the draft? #Bears

The Laker look lethal after a win over the Clippers despite a good performance from Kawhi making it a 6 game win streak for LA. Considering all the playoff experience like the Nuggets, Warriors, T-Wolves, & even the Thunder LA still has their hands full out in the West. #LakeShow

Dart, Milroe, & Ewers are some of the QBs that have shown promise in this NFL Combine. Dillon Gabriel & Will Howard showed some inconsistency regarding accuracy, but we’ve seen guys like Tom Brady & Drew Brees have great NFL careers despite a rough combine. #NFLCombine

According to John Frascella multiple Giants evaluators think Shedeur Sanders is the better pick than Cam Ward. The last time the Giants drafted a QB was Daniel Jones & the only standout QB in that draft was Kyler Murray. It’s close but I believe Ward has the higher ceiling. #Giants

The amount of dominance Stephen Curry still has in the tank at age 36 is insane & considering the Warriors are No. 7 & creeping on No. 6 in the West, don’t be surprised if the Warriors find themselves making a deep playoff run this year. #DubNation

With a loss to the Lakers the Mavs have been surpassed by the Warriors for No. 8 putting the Mavs at No. 9 in the West. With Anthony Davis supposedly returning in a little over a week & Lively & Gafford out till at least April 2, tough times could be ahead in Dallas. #MFFL

Barcelona looks to take the win over Atletico, but considering the last second goal by Marcos Llorente their’s still time to make this thrilling top 3 matchup in this Spanish Copa del Rey Semifinals even more interesting. #BarcaAtleti

The Warriors have a chance to make some noise considering their 1 win behind the Mavs, T-Wolves, & Clippers. They’re on a 3 game win streak heading into their last 2 games of February & at this rate they could go from No. 10 to No. 6 in just a few games. #DubNation

Many teams are interested in Deebo Samuel but are unwilling to pay a big price for him. According to @nflrums.bsky.social the best offer the 49ers have gotten is a 5th round pick which makes it even more likely that the 49ers cut Samuel allowing teams to possibly sign him for cheap. #FTTB

Why aren’t we talking about the bounce back the Bucks have had since earlier this season. Let’s not forget they were once No. 15 in the East in early November & now they’re sitting at No. 5. I understand their talent but you got to give Giannis and the team credit. #FearTheDeer

Bright side for Spurs fans is that players have come back from Wemby’s condition the most recent being Ausar who’s playing well for the Pistons. Sad part is that the Spurs are 5 wins behind the No. 10 Warriors & unless players step up I don’t see them making the play-in. #Porvida

It’ll be interesting to see where Cam Ward & Shedeur Sanders land with quarterbacks roaming the top spots of the last few NFL Drafts. This might be a spicy take but if this mock draft is correct I think Shedeur gives the Raiders a better record than Cam with the Browns. #NFLDraft
