Share this: There are just certain games on the schedule you’re supposed to win. For the No. 3 Indiana Hoosiers, Tuesday’s road contest against Fort Wayne was one of them. But the best laid plans often go awry. That’s exactly what happened in this thrilling college basketball matchup. Behind junior guard Bryson Scott’s game-high 18 points, the Fort Wayne Mastodons upset the Hoosiers in overtime, 71-68. This one fan’s reaction pretty much summed up how all IU fans were feeling Tuesday night, though. Thumbnail photo via screenshot via Twitter/@cjzero More Stories Source link

Fantasy Football Rankings: 5 Must-Start Defenses For Week 11 Lineups
Share this: Fantasy football playoffs are starting soon in many leagues across the nation, and it would be a shame if a poor performance by your defense cost you a chance at the league title. Here are five must-start defenses for Week 11 of the NFL season. Seattle SeahawksThe Seahawks give up the second-fewest points per game and allow less than 100 rushing yards per matchup. They’re also coming off a great performance against the New England Patriots, one that included Tom Brady’s first interception of the season and a fourth-quarter fumble recovery that resulted in the game-winning touchdown. Their matchup against Eagles rookie quarterback Carson Wentz on Sunday is a pretty good one, too. Arizona CardinalsThe Cardinals play a Minnesota Vikings offense that ranks
Kate Upton Rips MLB Writers For Justin Verlander Not Winning Cy Young Award
Share this: Model Kate Upton clearly didn’t agree with the Baseball Writers’ Association of America voters’ choice for the American League Cy Young Award. Justin Verlander, Upton’s fiancee, got the most first-place votes with 14, but Boston Red Sox right-hander Rick Porcello had five more overall points because two writers left Verlander out of their top five. Both pitchers had strong but not rock-solid cases to win the award, which probably is why it was so close in the end. But Upton clearly isn’t happy with second place for the Detroit Tigers ace based on her Twitter. You can see how she responded in the tweets, which we took screen shots of in case they are deleted, below. There are some swears, though. (Insert fire emoji here.) Thumbnail photo
Rick Porcello, Family Share Priceless, Emotional Moment After Cy Young Win
Share this: Not everyone — ahem, Kate Upton — was happy about Rick Porcello winning the American League Cy Young Award, but his family and friends certainly were. The Boston Red Sox right-hander was named the 2016 AL Cy Young in a ridiculously close vote over Justin Verlander. Porcello, who led Major League Baseball with 22 wins, got six fewer first-place votes than Verlander, but two voters left the Detroit Tigers ace completely off their ballots, allowing for Porcello to win the overall points by five. In the grand scheme of things, though, the vote total probably won’t matter for Porcello. He will forever be the 2016 AL Cy Young, which made everyone at the Porcello household pretty emotional in a priceless celebration that will
Celtics Wrap: Boston Crushes Knicks 115-87 Behind Strong Effort By Isaiah Thomas
Share this: It wasn’t perfect, but the Boston Celtics certainly will take it. The Celtics halted their three-game losing streak and returned to .500 on Friday by dismantling the New York Knicks in a 115-87 win. Boston’s rebounding and defense didn’t look much better than in past performances, but it almost didn’t matter after three consecutive bad losses, including one each to the lowly Denver Nuggets and Washington Wizards. Isaiah Thomas carried the Celtics on his back, but the point guard wasn’t the only one worth talking about. Thanks to coach Brad Stevens changing the starting five, the Celtics’ offense almost looked like a whole new team. Here are the takeaways from Friday’s win.
