In a major coaching coup for the collegiate ranks, Kevin Young, the highly-regarded associate head coach of the NBA’s Phoenix Suns, is set to take over as the new head coach of the Brigham Young University (BYU) men’s basketball program. Young, who has been lauded for his coaching acumen and player development skills during his tenure with the Suns, will be tasked with leading the Cougars into their second season in the competitive Big 12 Conference.
As March Madness winds down, the excitement is only beginning for basketball fans in the Windy City. The Chicago Bulls have locked up a spot in the NBA’s play-in tournament, while their WNBA counterparts, the Chicago Sky, hold a pair of coveted first-round draft picks. All this comes as the UConn Huskies captured their fifth national championship in two decades under coach Dan Hurley.
For the Bulls, securing the 9 or 10 seed means they’ll host the Hawks or Raptors at the United Center on Wednesday in a win-or-go-home clash.
As the University of Houston Cougars gear up for the NCAA Tournament, the memory of their fallen teammate Reggie Chaney looms large. The talented forward, who starred on the team’s 2021 Final Four squad, tragically passed away last summer from a fentanyl overdose just days before he was set to embark on his professional career overseas.
Chaney’s absence has left an irreplaceable void within the program, but his spirit and legacy continue to inspire the grief-stricken Cougars as they chase their championship dreams.
In an era where elite college basketball players frequently transfer in pursuit of greener pastures, Jaylin Williams’ steadfast loyalty to Auburn University stands out as a beacon of commitment. The talented senior forward has etched his name into the annals of the program, becoming the Tigers’ all-time leader in games played and wins accrued, surpassing even the revered Frankie Sullivan.
Williams’ journey has been a testament to perseverance and unwavering dedication.
