Nick Saban, the head coach of the University of Alabama’s football team, has recently expressed his dissatisfaction with the SEC’s (Southeastern Conference) proposed scheduling format. He believes that it is unfair to the Crimson Tide, due to the amount of travel they would have to do in comparison to the other teams in the conference. The SEC’s proposed format would have teams playing eight conference games, four within their division and four out of their division. This means the Crimson Tide would have to travel to all four out of division games, while other teams would only have to travel…

Antoine Davis’ Pursuit of NCAA Scoring Record Falls Just Short Thursday night should have been a historic night for Detroit Mercy basketball. Fifth-year senior Antoine Davis was just three points away from tying Pete Maravich’s NCAA career scoring record of 3,667 points. But in a 71-66 season-ending loss to Youngstown State, Davis fell just a single flick of his wrist short of making it happen. Davis had entered Thursday night’s Horizon League quarterfinal 25 points away from Maravich’s record. With his NCAA-best average of 28.4 points per game, it seemed like light work for the tough shot specialist. However, the…

The Los Angeles Clippers have been struggling since the All-Star break, losing four consecutive games and giving up double-digit leads in three of those losses. The latest defeat was a 115-91 loss to the Golden State Warriors, a game in which the Clippers’ new point guard, Russell Westbrook, was the target of an unusual strategy of avoidance. The Warriors chose to give Westbrook a wide berth, sagging off multiple strides in an open invitation for the 30% three-point shooter to fire away. On multiple plays, Westbrook dribbled near the top of the three-point arc while the nearest defender waited deep…
