There will always be some never-answered what-ifs about the 2020 college basketball season, particularly for men’s basketball programs who were on a pace to reach their best NCAA tournament seed in program history and potentially embark upon a deep tournament run. As we prepare for the 2020-21 season, perhaps we can get a head start on projecting which teams will perform the best when the first games tip off Nov. 25.
To achieve this goal, I evaluated every team ranked in March Madness correspondent Andy Katz’s preseason Power 36 rankings and analyz...
When the 2019-20 NHL season was paused , the status of free agency was in flux. We now know the signing period will begin at 12 p.m. ET on Oct. 9.
That’s when unrestricted free agents can sign with new teams, restricted free agents with arbitration rights have their next contracts dictated by a third party and general managers play the fun game of “should we or should we not do an offer sheet?” (thanks, Marc Bergevin!).
This season’s list of UFAs is an intriguing one, with the likes of Alex Pietrangelo, Taylor Hall, Torey Krug and Braden Holtby among the top players on the market. Have we seen the last of Zdeno Chara and Joe Thornton? Who is this year’s Sebastian Aho?

Anthony Davis probably won’t be named NBA Finals MVP if the Los Angeles Lakers can finish off the Miami Heat for their first championship since 2010. LeBron James is the player who enters Game 5 leading the Lakers in points, rebounds, and assists during the series. He’s also the player whose legacy has been at the forefront of every discussion during these Finals. From both a narrative and on-court perspective, James certainly fits the bill for Finals MVP.
It goes without saying that the Lakers would not be in position to win the NBA Finals without the contributions of both James and Davis. Their individual skill sets are impossible to replicate...

With the Lakers holding a 2-1 lead over the Heat in the 2020 NBA Finals, Tuesday’s Game 4 feels like it will mark a turning point.
Of the 259 NBA playoff series in which a team has held a 3-1 lead, the team with the advantage has emerged victorious 246 times. Underdogs like the 2016 Cavaliers and 2020 Nuggets stick out in recent history because they overcame the odds, but the fact is 3-1 usually means it’s time to start packing bags.

On Tuesday night at 7 p.m. ET, hockey looks towards the future as they conduct the first round of the NHL Entry Draft. The New York Rangers won the first overall pick in the second part of the NHL Draft Lottery. Yes, there were two parts. Yes, it was beautiful chaos.
