NCAA Basketball: Final Four National Championship-Houston vs Florida

Florida’s bench was assessed a technical foul in the second half of Monday night’s national championship game, creating a huge swing of momentum and a four-point possession for Houston.

The foul was assessed at the 17:21 mark of the second half when Florida’s coaches jumped onto the court from the lowered bench area following an off-the-ball defensive foul on Gators guard Will Richard. Per NCAA rules, only one coach is allowed to stand within the coaching box during live action, and assistant coaches must remain seated.

There is a carve-out within the rulebook allowing for spontaneous reaction to an “outstanding” play, however, the official’s quick whistle may indicate the bench was previously warned. As Ian Eagle noted on the CBS broadcast, there appears to have been some building tension between the bench and the officiating crew and Florida’s coaches were jawing after a call they disagreed with.

Cougars guard LJ Cryer was awarded two free throws after the play — making one. Houston also retained possession. Moments later, Cryer drilled a 3-pointer to give Houston a 40-30 advantage as part of what was effectively a 4-point sequence.

Muller alerta time que corre risco no Brasileirão: “Não sabe como sair”

Muller em entrevista feita no "Benja Me Mucho" (Reprodução - YouTube) Muller ligou de vez o alerta sobre o rendimento do Santos na disputa do Brasileirão. Em comentário feito no programa “Gazeta Esportiva” desta segunda (28), o ex-atacante sinalizou que o alvinegro vai precisar de reforços para não sofrer de forma perigosa na briga contra o rebaixamento. Na avaliação dele, a diretoria precisa encontrar alternativas para se reforçar no mercado, uma vez que não tem condições financeiras das mais privilegiadas, e deve ficar preocupada sobre a sequência negativa na primeira leva de jogos no certame de 38 rodadas. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “O Santos não tem dinheiro, mas cabe a parceria em contratação, se não vai ficar pelo caminho de novo.

The Penguins, after 2 years, are officially Kyle Dubas’ team

There is plenty of uncertainty surrounding the Pittsburgh Penguins these days.One certainty, though, is the amount of power Kyle Dubas wields. Unlike in the previous two years, the Penguins president and general manager is using his power liberally.We are nearly two years into Dubas’ reign. While he did execute some flashy and regrettable moves in his first few months on the job — the Erik Karlsson trade, the Reilly Smith trade, the Ryan Graves signing, the Noel Acciari signing and the Tristan Jarry contract extension, to name a few — there was always the sense that he was just getting comfortable. He was trying to fit in. He didn’t want to exert his power too much at first because he was something of an outsider. Yes, he was placed in a very prominent role, but there was a feeling-out process.AdvertisementIt […]

Maple Leafs roster updates vs. Senators: Likely lines and big questions for Game 5

TORONTO — The Maple Leafs have returned home for Game 5 against the Senators with a chance to close the series out — something that’s been so difficult for this core to do.The Leafs are up 3-1 in the series and deserve credit for being in that place. But not putting the Senators to bed for good in Game 4 meant this stat reared its ugly head: The Leafs have now won just one elimination game in 12 opportunities, dating back to 2019. And so while the talk of demons around this team might still be premature in this series, it’s not as if we haven’t seen a version of this script before.AdvertisementCan the Leafs respond with a sense of urgency not just to start, but through every period in Game 5?
