Dieses Spiel geht in die College-Basketball-Geschichte ein!
Die Houston Cougars schaffen die March-Madness-Sensation und hauen Super-Favorit Duke im Final Four im legendären Alamadome in San Antonio raus. 70:67! Damit steht die Uni aus Texas im Finale gegen die Florida Gators in der Nacht in Deutschland von Montag auf Dienstag (2.30 Uhr) — und Streamingdienst Dyn (gehört wie SPORT BILD zu Axel Springer) überträgt die mit Original-Kommentar live! Das darf man sich als Basketball-Fans nicht entgehen lassen!
[–>Das Wahnsinns-Spiel sorgt für jede Menge Schlagzeilen!
Episch: Houston (an Nr. 1 im Mittleren Westen gesetzt) dreht ein schon verlorenes Spiel in der Schlussphase! Die Cougars lagen schon mit 14 Punkten zurück!
Dramatisch: Duke (Nummer 1 im Osten) gelingt nur zweimal in den letzten 13 Minuten aus dem Feld zu punkten!
Kontrovers: Ein Foulpfiff gegen Megastar Cooper Flagg (18), den viele Insider als den nächsten LeBron James sehen, sorgt für einen Aufschrei in ganz Amerika! Fans und Basketball-Experten diskutieren, ob es wirklich ein Foul war oder ob die Schiris einen Riesen-Fehler gemacht haben!
Ganz Amerika diskutiert: Mega-Kontroverse bei March-Madness-Sensation
Was ist passiert? 19,6 Sekunden vor Ende. Es steht 67:66 für die Blue Devils. Freiwürfe für Dukes Junior Tyrese Proctor. Gehen beide rein, brauchen die Cougars einen Dreier, um die Verlängerung zu erzwingen. Der erste Versuch — geht nicht rein! Beim zweiten Versuch steigt Flagg gegen J’Wan Roberts, um sich den Rebound zu holen. Plötzlich ein Schiri-Pfiff!
Was sagen die Experten? Selbst in der Zeitlupe ist nicht eindeutig zu erkennen, wo und wie Flagg das angebliche Foul begangen hat. Roberts war so darauf konzentriert, ihn auszublocken, dass er beim Rebound nicht die Hand hebt, und Flagg scheint beim Greifen nach dem Ball für keinen weiteren Kontakt zum Gegner zu sorgen.
Bei den Experten von CBS um NBA-Legende Grant Hill war man sich einig: „Kein Foul!“
Roberts darf auf der Gegenseite an die Linie, verwandelt beide Freiwürfe. Die erste Führung der Cougars seit Minute 14:42 in der ersten Hälfte.
Heftiges Finish im College Basketball: Houston dreht Halbfinale in 30 Sekunden
Duke greift noch mal an — und Flagg verwirft! Ausgerechnet Flagg! Drei Sekunden vor Ende haut LJ Cryer einen Dreier für Houston rein! Ende! Damit hat kaum einer gerechnet! Zu dominant war Duke in der ganzen Meisterrunde im amerikanischen College-Basketball.
Auf der Pressekonferenz nach dem Spiel kämpft Cooper Flagg (27 Punkten, sieben Rebounds und vier Assists) mit den Tränen, schluchzt: „Es endete nicht so, wie wir es wollten, aber trotzdem war es ein unglaubliches Jahr.“

Inconsistency, controversial hits and players running wild in NHL’s Battle of Florida
The Battle of Florida is, well, a battle.Sure, this series isn’t as physical or grinding as Jets versus Blues in the Central, which has a combined 347 hits. But the hits thrown in this series have been a lot more controversial.Monday night’s Game 4 showcased that — first when Aaron Ekblad ended Brandon Hagel’s night with a forearm to the head in the second period, then in the third when Niko Mikkola boarded Zemgus Girgensons.The Panthers and Lightning are heated rivals, so a physical series should be expected — that is the nature of the Stanley Cup playoffs, after all. But there still has to be a standard of consistency for these borderline infractions, and after Game 4, that line is even blurrier.To set the stage for Monday night’s spicy game, let’s rewind to Game 2.Midway through the third period, […]
Kolumne „Meine Bayern“ – Wetten, dass ER die Schale zurück nach München ballert?
„Meine Bayern“ heißt die Kolumne von SPORT BILD-Reporter-Legende Raimund Hinko, die sich mit dem deutschen Rekordmeister befasst. Hinko begleitet den FC Bayern seit Jahrzehnten.Liebe Meister-Träne,über welche Wange willst Du diesmal fließen? Natürlich über ein Bayern-Gesicht wirst Du sagen. Wirklich?Es ist erst zwei Jahre her, dass Dortmund am letzten Spieltag gegen Mainz nicht gewinnen konnte, dass in Köln in der 87. Minute Jamal Musiala, gerade eingewechselt, ein Millimeter kleines Loch erspähte und mit seiner ersten Ballberührung den Ball zum 2:1 ins Tor schnitt. Die elfte Meisterschaft hintereinander war perfekt. Nicht nur bei Musiala flossen Tränen.So spannend soll es diesmal nicht werden. Nicht nur die Bayern-Fans rechnen damit, dass die Münchner am Samstag in Leipzig alles klarmachen und sich am 32. Spieltag ihre 34. Deutsche Meisterschaft holen.Nur: Wer wird der Schütze?

Stars push Avalanche to the brink with commanding Game 5 win: Takeaways
This entire era of Dallas hockey has been built on their depth, but that doesn’t mean the Stars aren’t loaded with, well, stars, too. But you wouldn’t know it based on the first four games of the series. Wyatt Johnston hadn’t scored yet. Neither had Mikko Rantanen. Or Matt Duchene. Or Mikael Granlund. Meanwhile Jamie Benn, Roope Hintz and Thomas Harley had just one goal each.AdvertisementAnd yet Dallas was still even in its first-round series with the high-octane Colorado Avalanche through four games.“You know what, I don’t think any of our big guys have delivered yet in this series,” Stars coach Pete DeBoer said before Game 5 when asked about Rantanen (one assist) in particular. ”He’s not the only one on this list. But the beauty of this, it’s time now. This is money time. I actually like the fact […]

Athletic Club’s Basque-only rule: What is it? When did it start? Who qualifies?
This is an updated version of this article, which was originally published in 2023.It is fair to say that Athletic Club facing Manchester United in the Europa League semi-finals is something of a miracle.Famously, the side from the city of Bilbao eliminated United, then managed by Sir Alex Ferguson, from the round of 16 of the same competition in 2012. Reaching the semi-finals this year is not their only achievement. They are on course for a Champions League spot in La Liga and ended a 40-year wait for major silverware last season by lifting the Copa del Rey, so they are not short of quality.AdvertisementBut this does not tell the full story. Athletic have achieved all that while only being able to pick players from the Basque Country — a region of northern Spain and southern France with a population […]
Predicting next season’s Premier League title winners – far too early
This season’s Premier League title is secured.Liverpool turned the campaign into a procession, having led the top flight since November, and the 5-1 win over Tottenham on Sunday ensured a triumphant first term for head coach Arne Slot.So, what about next season? Can deposed champions Manchester City bounce back? Will Arsenal mount a more concerted challenge? Or could a different team altogether emerge from the pack?While acknowledging that it is ridiculously early to start making any confident predictions about the 2025-26 campaign — given we have a summer transfer window and almost four months’ worth of off-field shenanigans to wade through before that point — we decided to ask our experts anyway.Jacob Whitehead: ArsenalBuilding a title-winning back line is the hardest part of the equation — Mikel Arteta’s team are already there.Arsenal have saved their money and this summer should […]
