If you weren’t watching the game, or didn’t happen to be keeping tabs on the score, but just happened to scroll past a certain picture of Wildcats coach John Calipari on Twitter, you probably knew something awful had happened on the court to the top-ranked Wildcats.

He is not done playing, so we don’t know where his final average will land, but only one player since 1980 has finished with 15 or more rebounds per game....

After Thursday, Kershaw and the team will decide whether he needs one more start before returning to the majors....

In order to accomplish this ambition, however, Hart needs to attend the “world’s greatest action star school” which is run by an unhinged teacher named Ron Wilcox, played by John Travolta.

While walking to the back of the court, Nishikori threw his racket to the ground, flipping it on end as it spun around. It bounced off the hard surface and over his shoulder, and as the racket started to fall again Nishikori calmly caught it without looking. I’m not even sure how this is possible.
