Louisiana Tech Vs. UAB Basketball Brawl Leads To Mass Ejections, Ridiculous Endi…
Share this: The Louisiana Tech University and University of Alabama at Birmingham basketball teams really should stick to hoops. The teams’ game devolved into a farce Thursday at Bartow Arena after a mass brawl and subsequent ejections left both sides short-handed. With around six minutes remaining in the second half and UAB leading by 13 points, the chaos came when UAB’s Hakeem Baxter started fighting with Louisiana Tech’s Jacobi Boykins. Players from both sides left their respective benches. [embedded content] The referees followed the rules and ejected Baxter, Boykins the assistant coaches and any player that left the bench, namely most of them. Louisiana Tech had to finish the game with just four players. Yes, that’s a five-on-four basketball game. UAB went on to win

Berkshire Bank Hockey Night In New England: Projected Bruins-Red Wings Lineups
The Boston Bruins are coming off a bad 4-0 loss at home to the New York Islanders on Monday afternoon, and they face another important game versus an inferior team in the Detroit Red Wings on the road Wednesday night. Boston sits in second place in the Atlantic Division, but that position is a bit deceiving. The Bruins have a slim 1-point lead on the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators in the division, and both of these teams also have five games in hand on the B’s. Therefore, the Bruins must go on some kind of win streak — or at least establish some consistency — to keep pace in a playoff

Patriots Vs. Texans Notes: Julian Edelman, Chris Hogan Carry Receiving Corps
by Zack Cox on Sun, Jan 15, 2017 at 2:30AM 3,765 Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — For the sixth time in as many seasons, the New England Patriots find themselves one win away from the Super Bowl. Saturday night’s 34-16 victory over the Houston Texans at Gillette Stadium extended the Patriots’ streak of consecutive championship game appearances to a half-dozen, breaking the previous NFL record of five set by the 1970s Oakland Raiders. Predictably, that record wasn’t at the forefront of Patriots coach Bill Belichick’s mind when he addressed the media after the game. “I mean, it’s great to be playing at this time of year,” Belichick said. “You’re one of four teams that are left after the weekend. But again, I mean, I don’t really
