Porter Moser is on the hot seat in Norman. Moser, the head coach at Oklahoma, has the Sooners struggling as he nears the end of his fourth season in charge.

OU is sitting on a 17-10 overall record with an ugly 4-10 mark against SEC competition. After a red-hot 13-0 start to the season that included wins over Arizona, Louisville, and Michigan (all currently among KenPom’s…

NCAAB News: UConn coach has subtle complaint about Paige Bueckers despite stellar outing The Kentucky Wildcats continue to tread water on the defensive end of the floor. That was evident again in their 96-83 loss to Alabama, and allowing almost 100 points a game will rarely get the job done in college basketball. The Wildcats failed to contain Crimson Tide star Mark Sears on Saturday. He blew up for a…
The Houston Rockets have a wealth of young talent, but it looks like the basketball world was slightly off in crowning Jalen Green and Alperen Şengün as Houston’s rising star duo. While Şengün belongs in that discussion, Green has been usurped this season by Amen Thompson as the Rockets’ most promising young guard. Thompson was selected at No. 4 overall by the Rockets in the 2023 NBA draft, and he’s experienced a sophomore-year explosion in the league in 2024-25. While Green is a superior jump shooter to Thompson, Thompson does pretty much everything else better than Green on both ends,…
National college football analyst makes staggering prediction about ‘filthy’ Penn State Nittany Lions RB room Penn State has a lot of well-deserved hype entering this season. Not only is it a popular pick to overtake defending national champion Ohio State and Big Ten champion Oregon by winning a league title, but its aspirations are much higher. Losing in the Orange Bowl to Notre Dame allowed running backs Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen to reassess whether they wanted to turn pro or stay in school after each had productive seasons this past fall. Neither did. Quarterback Drew Allar joins both, who…

The Detroit Red Wings are linked to star forward Elias Pettersson in a potential trade ahead of the March 7 trade deadline. Pettersson has been the subject of trade rumors all season long as he has struggled. The Swede had a rift with J.T. Miller and the Vancouver Canucks opted to deal Miller to the New York Rangers. However, with Pettersson still struggling, his name has been brought up in trade rumors again. NHL insider David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period has Pettersson on his trade bait board and lists the Red Wings as a team interested in him. With…
One reason why the Dolphins should use the franchise tag on Jevon Holland — and one why they shouldn’t The Miami Dolphins, for the second straight offseason, have a serious question to ask themselves about one of their home-grown players. Last offseason, former draft picks Christian Wilkins and Robert Hunt ended up making it to the open market, where they garnered contracts of $100+ million each. They were players that Miami surely would have loved to keep, but ultimately, salary cap issues proved to be too burdensome on the team. Miami could have presented one or the other of…
