LSU is doing that thing where they look deeply unserious for like 3/4ths of the season and then suddenly put the fear in you in March

Got reasonable goals for OSU this year. Two conference tournament wins ✅, would love two in the NCAA tourney as well.
This is such a casual basketball take but Jaloni Cambridge plays basketball like she likes playing basketball so much
The hot take I will stand behind forever is that Gianna Kneepkens is a no brainer WNBA lottery pick
Roster update out of Portland: Sophia Wilson has officially completed return to play protocol, and will be active for the team’s season opener next weekend
Ready for some postseason buckeye basketball
Recording Late Sub tomorrow morning but, absolutely massive camp from Gisele Thompson, and I think Claire Hutton today did so much by just not getting in the way
That was a good win against a very organized Canada defense. US didn’t handle it well early, then grew into the game, and got the goal off a corner with Canada not offering a ton the other way. Sturdy.
Last time Sears and I chatted we talked high schools Columbus ain’t that big a town
It’s hard to overstate how neat it is to have a kid from Dublin getting regular appearances for the USWNT
The USWNT’s set pieces have gotten so much better
What’s interesting about this too is the US flirts all the time with playing without one. Might have to be the answer if they can’t get consistent availability from their preferred starters.
Minutes 30-45 much better, good movement, left a few opportunities on the table but the U.S. successfully tilted the field
Not exactly scintillating connective work from the U.S. in possession thus far
Feels like a small but very significant change that Hayes has declined to play Coffey/Lavelle/Heaps in this one after that trio was last seen in the Portugal loss. Hutton the rightful nod beside the former two.
As expected, verrrrrryyyyy different starting XI for the US against Canada
lol kentucky is not a team you wanna play on the first day of conference tournaments
Knockout basketball season bb
A week from the final term sheet deadline, I am beginning to not think the union is going to strike, but rather that they are going to get locked out
Emma Hayes has objectively done a great job with the player pool but it still just feels like the team is floating around their actual strongest XI mostly because of availability. But ain't that just sports I guess.
Obviously mostly bummed because you just want players to be healthy, but losing the opportunity to get some significant time with Reale and Bugg (and Wiesner) specifically for the US defense this week now Girma is back and healthy is also too bad for ongoing roster analysis
I've noticed that as well
Part of this is just the general search engine having increasing problems but it would be so nice if there was Google integration for both unrivaled and PWHL games
Houston Dash sale to the son of a disappeared Chinese billionaire not going forward after league review, per Sportico. Looks like they’re still looking for a more amenable buyer www.sportico.com/business/tea...
Looks like just a flare up, fortunately
Rodman down holding her back
Beauty of a long strike from heaps there why doesn’t she do that all the time
Hayes has obviously been experimenting with the teams shape a bit recently but I also wonder if this lineup isn’t more a group stage simulation based on opposition
Got ourselves a lineup here
I am refusing to let everything else hockey wise going on take anything away from Hilary knights well earned legacy finalizing victory lap
