9+ min ago (218+ words) Under veteran coach John Calipari, the Arkansas Razorbacks secured the No. 10 recruiting class in the 2026 cycle, according to ESPN. This adds serious firepower to the program. The class is headlined by five-star wing JaShawn Andrews (No. 12) and four-star forward Abdou Toure (No. 31). Andrews brings athleticism, perimeter instincts and increasing shooting range. An ideal fit for Calipari's high-tempo, space-and-drive system. Toure supplies physical tools, finishing ability, and a long-term defensive presence. The Razorbacks' ability to keep Andrews home and beat out major competition is a major recruiting win. Arkansas' placement in the top 10 reinforces the program's forward momentum. After landing the No. 3 class in 2025, this follow-through signals that Calipari's blueprint is intact. With this class, expectations for forthcoming seasons should escalate. If Andrews and Toure develop as projected and integrate well into the rotation, the Razorbacks will be positioned for a…...

Fans stood to applaud as the Pelicans began to run down the clock for their first victory since Nov. 5 at Dallas, 10 days before the firing of coach Willie Green, when New Orleans was 2-10. Borrego needed six games to get his first win, and it came with a balanced, high-scoring effort. The Pelicans (3-15) had eight players with 10 or more points. Trey Murphy scored 20 points, Jose Alvarado had 16, Yves Missi had 14 points and 14 rebounds, Bryce McGowens scored 11 and Micah Peavy had 10.

No, this 106-102 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on the second night of a back-to-back set hardly was pretty, nothing close to the relentless offense that largely has built what now is a 12-6 record. But with Herro arriving in time to lift the offense and second-year Kel'el Ware continuing his mastery in the middle, the Heat had enough to extend the season-best winning streak to five at the start of a four-game homestand. Herro closed with 24 points on 12-of-18 shooting, his 10-foot jumper with 42.1 seconds breaking a tie and putting the Heat ahead for good. And when it came to the dirty work, there were 20 points and 18 rebounds from Ware. Factor in 17 points from Bam Adebayo, including two late free throws…...

But Tyler Herro was there to step in, with his own steadying presence, in this case a run of nine consecutive made shots . . . and later the winning basket. No, this 106-102 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on the second night of a back-to-back set hardly was pretty, nothing close to the relentless offense that largely has built what now is a 12-6 record. But with Herro arriving in time to lift the offense and second-year big man Kel'el Ware continuing his mastery in the middle, the Heat had enough to extend the season-best winning streak to five at the start of a four-game homestand.

The Pistons (15-2) defeated the Indiana Pacers 122-117 on Monday, Nov. 24, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to clinch their 13th consecutive win " tying a mark they reached previously in 2003-04 and 1989-90, both seasons that ended with NBA championships. The Pacers (2-15) cut the Pistons' fourth quarter, 18-point lead to 117-115 with 48.9 seconds left with a pair of free throws from Pascal Siakam. Cade Cunningham (24 points, 11 rebounds and six assists) made it a two-possession game with a jump hook. A layup from Andrew Nembhard cut it to two once again with 15 seconds left before a split trip at the line by Cunningham. Bennedict Mathurin missed an open corner 3-point attempt that would've tied the game with 11 seconds left, and two free throws from Caris LeVert (19 points) sealed the Pistons…...

The Texas Longhorns have made their second flip from the Austin Metro, convincing tackle Kaden Scherer to change his commitment from the Stanford Cardinal, joining the 2026 class. The 6-foot-6, 285-pound tackle from Georgetown committed to Stanford in June, choosing the Cardinal over Kansas State and Northwestern after visiting the trio. But after a late Texas offer and visit for the Arkansas game, the lengthy lineman made the switch to the hometown team. No. 91 guard in the country, Scherer bolsters a class that needs some bodies and may give him the longer development path that he needs. He is the second flip from Georgetown in a 24-hour period, with fellow Eagle Jett Walker taking…...

1+ hour, 23+ min ago (206+ words) The Ole Miss Rebels find themselves in a precarious but promising playoff projection, sitting at No. 6 in the On3 bracket from Andy Staples. Trailing only top-tier teams, Ole Miss's path includes the Egg Bowl rivalry with Mississippi State and the distractions surrounding head coach Lane Kiffin's future. If the Rebels maintain focus, win their rivalry game, and keep noise at bay, they'll likely punch a ticket as the SEC "runner-up" who isn't projected in the championship game. The key will be consistency from Trinidad Chambliss and Kewan Lacy on offense. Not a tough ask for the two playmakers. In the high stakes world of the College Football Playoff, one misstep can be costly. Ole Miss must play with urgency and maturity in the stretch run. Also, Kiffin's decision didn't bring them this far. The end of the season shouldn't fall by…...

They delivered against the Columbus Blue Jackets, and a lot of thanks goes to Jakob Chychrun. Chychrun led a scoring surge that saw the defense score four of fives en route to a 5-1 win over the Jackets. Here are the takeaways: The Capitals continue to get scoring from the blue line, and leading the charge is Jakob Chychrun.

It extended his goal-scoring streak to three games, and he now has points in eight straight outings. He wasn't done there, though. Running" the point on the power play, Chychrun's unit was the first over the boards, and as he excelled in keeping…...
