Getty Images Tommy Lloyd set an impossibly high bar for first-year college basketball coaches everywhere last season as he guided Arizona to a Pac-12 regular-season championship, Pac-12 Tournament title and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament . If Year Two under the former long-time Gonzaga assistant is to be similarly fruitful, it will require the Wildcats to replace three of the top 33 picks from June's NBA Draft . Gone are Bennedict Mathurin (Pac-12 Player of the Year), Christian Koloko (Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year and Most Improved Player) and super utility man Dalen Terry, who used a late surge up draft boards to be selected No. 18 overall by the Bulls. While that's a daunting trio to lose, the Wildcats may wind up as the preseason favorite to win the Pac-12 again thanks to the remaining pieces from a rotation that was among the nation's deepest. With a trio of international stars back after playing key roles last season in Kerr Kriisa , Pelle Larsson … [Read more...] about Arizona basketball roster: Starting lineup prediction, bench rotation, depth outlook for 2022-23 season

USATSI The Bengals have been playing at their current home stadium for the past 22 years, and in that time, the building has only had one name. However, that will now be changing after the team struck a naming rights deal with Paycor. As of Tuesday, the stadium formerly known as Paul Brown Stadium will now be called Paycor Stadium after the team and the company inked a 16-year deal. The Bengals already had a partnership with the Cincinnati-based company, so the team felt like this was the logical next step. Paycor has served as the team's official and exclusive HR software provider since 2018. If this name change had been announced a year ago, it would have been a total shocker, because Bengals owner Mike Brown had always been adamant that he was going to keep his dad's name on the stadium. During the 2021 season, the Bengals were one of the just three teams that didn't sell the naming rights to their stadium (the Bears and Packers were the two others). But with the … [Read more...] about Bengals stadium gets new name: NFL team’s home will go from Paul Brown Stadium to Paycor Stadium

USATSI The Los Angeles Chargers haven't won their division since 2009 and have finished third in the AFC West the last two seasons. Prognosticators feel differently about them this year, as quarterback Justin Herbert enters his third season and other stars on both sides of the ball like Austin Ekeler , Keenan Allen and Derwin James return with their sights set on a deep playoff run. The Chargers are 15-1 in the early 2023 Super Bowl odds at Caesars Sportsbook, just behind the defending champions and roommates at SoFi Stadium, the Los Angeles Rams . The Rams head into the season with 12-1 odds to repeat and are close behind other Super Bowl 57 contenders like the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs , who are both 11-1 in preseason NFL futures . Buffalo enters the season as 6-1 favorites to win the title this season, but the Bills have been bounced by the Chiefs in the playoffs the last two years.

This incredible feat was the pinnacle of what was a roller coaster ride for the Savita-led Indian team who showed resilience to bounce back from a heartbreaking ninth place finish at the FIH Women's World Cup which took place in the Netherlands and Spain in July. The Indian team also took part in their last set of FIH Hockey Pro League matches in June in Belgium and Netherlands, where they finished third. Reflecting on the long tour, Indian Women's Hockey Team Captain Savita said, "It was a pretty long tour, there were ups and downs but it taught us a lot of things. We started the tour on a strong note by finishing third in our debut FIH Hockey Pro League 2021/22 campaign and then went through a rough patch during the World Cup. “Finishing ninth was disappointing, but it was equally important to move ahead and take positive learnings from the campaign to focus on the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. "We then had a short preparatory camp in Nottingham, where we … [Read more...] about It’s not just a medal for us, it’s an inspiration: Savita reflects on historic Commonwealth Games campaign

Going into Birmingham 2022, slipping out of the usual top-five was seen as a real possibility in absence of shooting, but phenomenal success in athletics and lawn bowls propelled India to a commendable fourth-place finish. About 25 per cent of India's 66 medals came from the shooting range in the previous edition held at Gold Coast, Australia, and not many believed that India will be able to touch even 50. But the country ended up with 61, courtesy unprecedented success in track and field events that delivered eight medals. As the Games concluded, with PTI inputs, myKhel.com looks at some of the highs and lows for India at Birmingham 2022. Athletics Eldhose Paul and Abdullah Aboobacker's rare 1-2 finish in triple jump will be cherished for long. Avinash Sable's silver in the 3,000M steeplechase and Tejaswin Shankar's bronze in the high jump were also a first for India while Murali Sreeshankar's silver in the long jump was the country's first since 1978. … [Read more...] about Commonwealth Games 2022: Highs and lows of India

The rivalry on the field too have matched the off-field hype often producing some cricket classics. The last time, these two worthy opponents faced each other was in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 in the UAE.

Pac-12 media days were full of questions to athletic directors, coaches, and athletes about how USC and UCLA departure from the conference affects their programs, and the reamining ten schools in the conference. When the L.A. schools shift to the Big Ten was announced a month ago, more questions started to arise on what other schools, including Stanford, would try to leave the Pac-12 if afforded the opportunity. Stanford athletic director Bernard Muir, who was on hand for Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff's press conference at Pac-12 Media Day Friday, said the school has not had any formal contact with the Big Ten, nor has it been in formal talks with any other conferences about a potential defection. Muir's comments come after Stanford was linked in a CBS Sports report as a possible future Big Ten expansion candidate should the league add additional teams. “We have not (had contact with anyone else),” Muir said. “I will say, in our meeting yesterday with my fellow peers … [Read more...] about Conference realignment: Stanford had no ‘formal overture’ from Big Ten, others, Cardinal AD Bernard Muir says

Getty Images Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Pick Six newsletter! Yesterday was International Cat Day and I forgot to mention it, which was mainly due to the fact that I spent the entire day looking at pictures of cats on the internet. Fortunately, this actually worked out in my favor, because we're going to celebrate International Cat Day today with an all cats newsletter. OK, it won't be all cats, but we will be talking a lot about the NFL cat teams. Not only did the Bengals make some news today by changing the name of their stadium, but the Lions are going to make some news tonight when "Hard Knocks" debuts on HBO. The show, which kicks off at 10 p.m. ET, will air each Tuesday from now until Sept. 6. I'm guessing the star of the show will be Dan Campbell. Anyone who has ever made a promise to bite off kneecaps has to be good television, which is why I have high hopes for both Campbell and the Lions for this season of "Hard Knocks." You know, I was going to … [Read more...] about Bears star Roquan Smith requests trade, plus Bengals stadium gets a new name and ‘Hard Knocks’ starts tonight
