“Surprised”: Tom Izzo Makes His Opinion Around Jon Scheyer’s Duke Absolutely Clear Following Michigan State’s Win

Duke walked into Chicago on Tuesday night looking like one of the toughest teams in the country. The Blue Devils were ranked No. 2; they had opened the season with two blowout wins, and they came with one of the deepest rosters in college basketball. Michigan State, ranked No. 5, had other plans. They led from start to finish and won 79-73. Afterward, in an interview, Tom Izzo said something that sounded more like praise for Duke than a victory speech. “I am a little surprised, ’cause I think they’re a really, really good team, and I feel bad saying that because then it looks like, ‘oh, John d...

Former USWNT, Chicago Stars goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher calls it a career

CHICAGO — Alyssa Naeher, one of the greatest goalkeepers ever, is calling it a career. The 38-year-old announced her retirement Friday, Nov. 13, after 17 seasons in club soccer, the last 11 of which were with the Chicago Stars. Naeher had retired from the U.S. women's national team in 2024 , after helping the U.S. women win the gold medal at the Paris Olympics. "It's hard to put the last 17 years into words," she said in an Instgram post . "I've given everything I have to this game, and it's given me memories and experiences that I will never forget." View this post on Instagram Naeher retires as the NWSL's leader in career saves (765), appearances by a goalkeeper (224) and goalkeeper wins (74), and is second all-time with 50 clean sheets. She was the NWSL's Goalkeeper of the Year in 2014, and also earned Best XI honors. Naeher was an anchor on Chicago teams that made the playoffs six consecutive seasons from 2016 to 2022, including playing for the title in 2019 and 2021. The longtime Stars captain set franchise records with 25 consecutive starts and 2,249 consecutive minutes played. “There are no words to truly encapsulate what

National analysts rave after KU routs Kentucky, Stokes looks like No. 1 pick

Kansas men’s basketball drew national rave reviews for its 89-69 rout of Kentucky on Tuesday night at Chicago’s United Center. The Jayhawks’ domination of the Wildcats stood out to many who watched the one-day doubleheader (Michigan State beat Duke 79-73 in the opener) that for 16 years has served as the premier early-season showcase in college basketball. Kansas, now 3-0, looked polished and connected on both ends, prompting widespread praise for a group that appears to have a higher ceiling than recent Jayhawk teams. Here’s a sampling of postgame comments about KU, which next will meet UNLV at 8:30 p.m. Central on Tuesday in the Players Era Eight tourney in Las Vegas. Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports and 247Sports wrote: “The Jayhawks — who had 24 assists on 32 made field goals — look like a Big 12 title contender and potential Final Four team. Kentucky does not. “Kansas was awesome. The Wildcats were not. Lots and lots of work ahead in Lexington. Kansas looked completely in sync on both sides of the floor. Prized freshman Tyran Stokes was beyond impressive with 23 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists while veteran wing Tre White dropped 30 . Purdue transfer Trey

Investigation finds evidence of racist, homophobic slurs at Illinois rivalry football game

The allegations of homophobic and racial slurs during a rivalry football game between New Trier (Winnetka, IL) and Evanston Township (IL) on Oct. 16 at Northwestern's brand-new $862 million stadium have been supported by evidence. New Trier Superintendent Dr. Peter W. Tragos said in a statement on Monday, Nov. 9 , that a joint investigation between the two schools found evidence supporting the alleged hateful slurs New Trier students directed at Evanston band members. "Since the game, we have conducted more than 40 interviews with students and staff," Tragos said in the statement. "We have also followed up on reports submitted through TrevTips and email, reviewed available videos, photographs, and social media material, and conducted additional interviews as new information emerged. This work has continued in collaboration with Evanston Township High School. "I want to make clear that the investigation supports accounts of hateful language and actions directed toward the Evanston marching band from individuals in the New Trier student section. We take these accounts seriously and recognize the hurt this incident has caused."
