After he officially entered the transfer portal, Utah State forward Great Osobor appeared to be a lock to follow his head coach there, Danny Sprinkle, to Washington after Sprinkle took the vacant job on Montlake. But after interest from a lot of schools, Osobor to Washington looked less and less of a lock by the day as he began to pursue other options.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

Nashville, TN

NASHVILLE — The 1-2 pitch AJ Causey threw to Camden Kozeal in the bottom of the sixth inning and the 1-2 Bryce Cunningham threw to Christian Moore in the top of the seventh were siblings. They weren't necessarily identical twins, but they were much closer to that than your average fraternal twins.

During his first interview with the Wisconsin media pool, the Oklahoma transfer was asked by one reporter why, at 5-foot-9, is he so drawn to the running back position when it can be brutal on your body. Walker was courteous, but did have to take some exception with the question.

The path has been set for the Sooners to get back to the Women's College World Series. On Sunday evening, ESPN announced the NCAA Tournament Regional brackets, and the Sooners will host at Love's Field, as many expected. The one thing that was up for question was if OU would become the No. 1 seed after taking down top-seeded Texas. But despite the Big 12 Championship win, the committee gave OU the No. 2 overall spot as Texas remained at the top. It's the first time the Sooners aren't the No. 1 overall seed since 2018.
