Kentucky State

Lexington, KY

The No. 8 Miami Hurricanes lost 95-73 at No. 12 Kentucky on Tuesday. "A number of things. First of all, Kentucky was terrific tonight. Very explosive. We couldn't really defend him anyway. Their size, athletic ability, shooting ability. They shoot 42 percent% from 3, 59 percent overall, and we just couldn't guard them. I thought the first team to 80 would win, but we didn't score. We played totally out of character on offense and that impacted our defense, which unfortunately is a weakness of ours. And some of it, had to do a little bit of foul trouble and the frustration our guys felt because they were sitting on the bench, anxious to get back in. When Norchad only plays eight minutes in the first half and Bensley Joseph plays only six minutes in the first half, that's two of our really critical guys Bensley, defensively and Norshad and everything especially rebounding, so credit to them. We're going to have to go back to Miami and get ready for our next one."

Nebraska is up to No. 20 in the 247Sports Composite Team Recruiting Ranking following the Tuesday night commitment from Top247 offensive tackle Grant Brix. I still like my 247Sports Crystal Ball forecast in favor of the Huskers for Miami (Fla.) Gulliver Prep cornerback Amare Sanders.

La Verne (Calif.) Bonita junior linebacker Noah Mikhail took an unofficial visit to Oregon over the weekend. Mikhail has probably taken more unofficial visits, throughout the country, then just about any player in his class. Surprisingly, one school he hasn’t been to since high school is Oregon but he was on campus for the Civil Ware game with Oregon State over the weekend.

Florida Gators defensive lineman Cam'Ron Jackson had been teasing a decision this week on if he would forgo his remaining college eligibility for the NFL Draft, or return to Gainesville for another season on the field. He had originally planned to announce his decision on Friday, but instead moved things up a few days to announce he would return to Florida for the 2024-2025 season.

THE TEMPORARY STAY granted Tuesday -- by a commissioner for the Washington Supreme Court in favor of UW and the other nine departing Pac-12 schools trying to block Washington State and Oregon State from controlling the conference -- isn’t cause for alarm, say two long-time lawyers in the state who also are devout WSU boosters.

GoPowercat publisher Tim Fitzgerald delivers his thoughts on the day's notable headlines from Kansas State athletics and the sports world. Here is what is on today's agenda:. When Will Howard walked off the snow-covered field on Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, he knew it was the last time he would play in The Bill. Fitz, though, believes he also knew it was his final game as Kansas State quarterback, and he believes Howard will soon announce, maybe even today, that he is departing to play at another school in 2024.

Nashville, TN

The Boston College men's basketball (4-2) will look to end a two game skid as they heat to Nashville to face the Vanderbilt Commodores. The Eagles are fresh off a tough Hall of Fame Classic in which they lost both games, to eventual champion Colorado State and Loyola Chicago. Center Quinten Post had 25 points in the finale, and was named to the all tournament team, but it was not enough. Against the Ramblers, BC had a nine point lead late in the second half, but squandered it going ice cold from the floor, and fouling and sending their opponent to the line, all the while stopping the clock.

The “narrative” that touted transfer guards Dalton Knecht and Jordan Gainey help Tennessee’s offense but hurt Tennessee’s defense isn’t necessarily true, according to Vols coach Rick Barnes. Of course, Barnes’ own comments at times have set that “narrative,” but that wasn’t included in his comments...

Oklahoma State

Starkville, MS

Mississippi State has hired former Oklahoma and Ole Miss offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby as its 36th football coach. Lebby has a reputation for putting up huge numbers on offense. It is exactly why he was hired. The talk in the beginning of the search centered around the need for an offensive minded coach. State director of athletics Zac Selmon found the coach he was looking for in his own hometown of Norman, Oklahoma.
