Moments ‘til Madness: An abysmal year for the Big East

Coming into the 2025–26 college basketball season, the Big East was projected to earn five to six bids in the NCAA Tournament. With about a month remaining until the conference tournament, the league is now projected to receive just three. Last year, the Big East had five teams in March Madness and appeared relatively strong compared to the rest of the Power Five. This year, however, the conference is rated comfortably last among the five in most metrics. What happened to the so-called ‘basketball-first’ conference?

The offensive line that broke the Patriots

“The Seattle Seahawks are your new world champions,” echoed through Levi’s Stadium late Sunday evening in Santa Clara, Calif. Sam Darnold, Kenneth Walker and — most importantly — the Seattle defense took care of business in Super Bowl LX, defeating the New England Patriots 29–13 to hoist the second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.

Super Bowl 60 Preview

On Sunday, the most anticipated sports event of the year will take place when the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots face off in Super Bowl 60. 11 years ago, it was Tom Brady and Russell Wilson battling for the Lombardi trophy — now it’s Drake Maye and Sam Darnold. The players are different, the coaches are different, but what remains is a rivalry that goes back to Super Bowl 49 and an unforgettable mistake that Seattle fans will certainly be hoping to get revenge for.

The greatest sports town in America, if not the world

Sorry, New York fans — if you clicked on this article expecting validation, you’re in the wrong place. Even rocking your A24 Marty Supreme hats, the Big Apple doesn’t come close to the town I’m talking about. And, no, this isn’t about Los Angeles and the L.A. Dodgers’ billion-dollar payroll either. I’m talking about the real city of champions: Boston.

Moments ‘til Madness: The season of the first-year

Saturday marked a historic day for first-year in college basketball. At 2 p.m, Houston’s Kingston Flemings dropped an absurd 42 points. An hour later, Illinois’ Keaton Wagler broke the first-year single-game scoring record with 46 points on just 17 shots, followed by BYU’s AJ Dybantsa’s 43-piece at 5:30 p.m. This marked the first time in at least the past 30 years that three first-years scored 40 points or more on the same day. It then feels like the perfect time to rank the first-years performing best at this point in the season.

Road to the World Cup: Boycotting FIFA

After German politician Jürgen Hardt raised the possibility of Germany boycotting the World Cup, Oke Göttlich, a vice president of the German Football Association, publicly expressed his support for the idea. Against the backdrop of growing tensions between the United States and Europe — discernible during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos — both figures argue that a boycott could be justified by concerns over European autonomy and the threat posed by the United States.
