"This is our 35 th game; I didn't think we were capable of that," Wright said of the Cats' lack of energy. "I thought we were capable of coming out and missing some shots. making some mistakes. But the level of energy we started the game with, I just didn't think we were capable of that. I'm in a little bit of shock myself.". Villanova point guard Jalen Brunson gave the credit to the Mountaineers. "They came out shooting the ball, sharing the ball, and just playing with great energy," he said. "You've got to give them credit. We've just got to come out and play harder.". If it wasn't for Brunson and Donte Di Vincenzo, the Wildcats might have trailed by more than the eight points that was the Mount's largest margin in the first half.

Ncaa Case Tied To Unc Academics Hits Delay

In an email to the AP on Wednesday afternoon, NCAA spokeswoman Emily James said UNC had requested "a short extension' to its 90-day deadline to file a response before Crowder's affidavit emerged. "In the interest of allowing all parties time to handle the new information and to allow an appropriate amount of time for the panel to review the information before a hearing, the schedule will be adjusted,' James said in a statement. "As in all cases, it is important to the panel to have a complete record so it can determine the facts of the case. The (committee) does not publicly release infractions schedules.'. UNC faces five top-level charges, including lack of institutional control, in a case that grew as an offshoot of a probe launched in 2010 into the football program. The AFAM irregularities are focused on independent study-style courses misidentified as lecture classes that didn't meet and required a research paper or two while featuring significant athlete enrollments. The NCAA first charged UNC in May ...

There was some trash talk involved in Ashnault's second win Thursday, as  he beat Pletcher for the third time in three tries this season, with each bout closer than the lost. When the final whistle blew on his comeback win, Ashnault waved to the Ohio State cheering section. "They were on me," Ashnault said. "They got all the calls and they still were booing me. What do you want me to do? I don't really know. It is what it is. There's some Twitter beef I guess from the Big Tens. They don't really like me.

As A College Athlete, You Really Have No Rights

... One football player detailed how he was suspended for three years for receiving a $12 discount on pants. “I have been writing administrative law in this House for more than a quarter century and I have never seen anything even touching upon this kind of inequity in procedure,” said Representative John Moss, the California Democrat who chaired the hearings. Story Continued Below. Nearly 40 years later, we are still talking about due process in college sports. The NCAA, a nonprofit, privately run, billion-dollar organization that oversees 480,000 athletes today, retains the power to make or break careers, and those accused of running afoul of its rules still have little recourse. Consider Todd Mc Nair, a former assistant football coach at the University of Southern California, who filed a defamation lawsuit against the NCAA, contending its enforcement staff fabricated evidence against him. Mc Nair was fired in 2010 and hasn’t worked in ...

The Ncaa Tournament Teams That Can Actually Pull Off Some Upsets

... as the Cincinnati interior is flourishing thanks to a pair of killer juniors in Kyle Washington and Gary Clark. Both are scoring at least 10 points and snagging seven boards per game. Clark in particular has impressed as of late, his high point coming in a 25-point outing in the AAC semis against UConn. The Bearcats aren’t a high-flying dunk show, nor will they drown you with three-pointers. They won’t venture to the 70 s if they don’t have to, but they’re a long, bothersome, and sound defensive squad with at least four players capable of going for 25-plus on a hot night.
