Cincinnati Bearcats (Basketball official thread)

Sources: Cincinnati to hire Utah State's Calhoun as coach

Cincinnati is expected to hire Utah State's Jerrod Calhoun as its next head coach, sources told ESPN on Monday.

It marks a return home for Calhoun, an Ohio native who graduated from Cincinnati in 2004 and began his coaching career as a student assistant under Hall of Famer Bob Huggins as a senior in college.

Calhoun just led Utah State to the second round of the NCAA tournament, beating Villanova before falling to Arizona on Sunday night.

Utah State officials have been notified of his departure to Cincinnati, sources told ESPN, and per his contract, the school will be owed nearly $3.9 million, which it plans to use for potential candidates and the NIL pool for next season.

In two years at Utah State, Calhoun went 55-15, leading the Aggies to back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances and a sweep of the Mountain West regular-season and conference tournament championships this season.

2026 NCAA Tournament General Discussion

2014 UConn is unique. They did have the nation's #2 player that year according to Kenpom Shabazz Napier, but clearly they did it with a well-balanced team that played elite defense. Their final 3 games of the tournament that year they didn't give up more than 54 points in a game.
UConn is automatic when they advance. 6-0 in Title Games and one sole loss to MSU in the Final Four. All of this since 1999

NBA Discussion (Official Thread)

The SuperSonics are (likely) coming back: How Seattle retained name, history while waiting for NBA's return​

Seattle is one step closer to an NBA expansion franchise and a revival of the SuperSonics name

The NBA on Wednesday took another step toward returning to Seattle after a 20-year absence.

The board of governors unanimously approved a vote that will allow the league to begin accepting bids on two new franchises -- one in Seattle and one in Las Vegas -- with the expected price for the new teams expected to be between $7 billion and $10 billion.

While there are still a few stages left before anything is finalized, the NBA appears to want to move quickly on expansion. The 2028-29 season is the reported target date for when the new franchises would begin play, as both Las Vegas and Seattle have the arena infrastructure in place to help expedite the process.

Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

Miami shot insanely well the first half and had up to 21 point lead. Now in the 3rd get a jump ball at the foul line with .02 in the shot clock, Harden tips to Ellis who immediately throws out to Spyda who gets a touch-shot from 23 feet and buries it to get within 5. Insane.

Now he's taking over. God he's fun to watch when he's in playoff mode!

Cavs stay in 4th place would be perfect for the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Btw, just tied it going to the 4th! Just sick
