Omaha: 2024-25 Summit League Men's Basketball Champions

 

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Usually mid-major college basketball programs need to win their conference tournament in order to reach March Madness, but that won’t be the case in Sunday’s Summit League Championship Game.

Omaha men’s basketball will play in the title game having already punched their ticket to their first Div. I NCAA Tournament, thanks to a little-known technicality.

The Mavericks opponent, St. Thomas, is still in its probationary period since elevating to a Division One program in 2021 and is ineligible for the NCAA Tournament. If the Tommies were to win the Summit League Tournament, the conferences automatic bid would go to its regular season champion.

Omaha secured its first Summit League regular season title in last weekend’s win over Oral Roberts.

So when the Mavs tip off against the Tommies at 8:00pm on Sunday, there will still be a Summit League Tournament title on the line—but not a trip to the Big Dance.

Lipscomb: 2024-25 Atlantic Sun Men's Basketball Champions

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Joe Anderson scored 12 of his team-high 23 points in the final four minutes to help power top-seeded Lipscomb to a 76-65 victory over North Alabama on Sunday to win the Atlantic Sun Conference tournament championship and claim an automatic berth into the NCAA tournament.

The Bisons (25-9) finished tied with North Alabama (24-10) for the regular-season championship with 14 wins and were the No. 1 tournament seed. Lipscomb needed overtime to get past sixth-seeded Queens in the semifinals. The Lions were seeded second and beat fourth-seeded Jacksonville to reach the final.

Jacari Lane's jumper gave North Alabama the lead with 11:46 left, and Donte Bacchus converted a three-point play for a 53-49 advantage. Jacob Ognacevic hit three of four free throws and Will Pruitt hit from 3 for a 55-53 lead and Gyasi Powell hit a 3 with 4:13 left to put Lipscomb in front for good.

Anderson hit from deep to make it 65-60 and then hit from 3 in a 7-0 run to take a 10-point lead with 1:34 left and converted 3-of-4 from the line in the final minute.

Anderson was 6-of-9 from the field, including 4-of-7 from deep, and hit 7-of-8 from the line with 4 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocked shots to lead Lipscomb. Pruitt was a perfect 10-for-10 from the line and finished with 17 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Powell hit 4-of-6 from 3-point range to add 16 points and Ognacevic had 14 points and nine rebounds.

Lane finished with 18 points and Corneilous Williams scored 15 points with seven rebounds to lead North Alabama. Will Soucie had 10 points with six boards and Taye Fields pulled down 12 rebounds to go with his six points.

Drake: 2024-25 Missouri Valley Men's Basketball Champions

 

ST. LOUIS -- Bennett Stirtz scored 24 points, Tavion Banks added 13 and top-seeded Drake defeated No. 2-seed Bradley 63-48 on Sunday to win Arch Madness for the third consecutive time.

The Bulldogs (30-3) will be making their eighth NCAA Tournament appearance and fourth in the past five years. They won the Missouri Valley Conference regular-season championship for the first time since 2019.

A 3-pointer by Demarion Burch gave Bradley a 27-24 lead with four minutes left in the first half but the Braves did not score again until 15:20 remained in the second half. Drake finished the first half with a 7-0 run to lead 31-27 and the Bulldogs added the first six points of the second half.

Drake led 46-41 with seven minutes left in regulation then Bradley went cold again. The Bulldogs went on a 15-2 run capped by a dunk and a 3-pointer by Stirtz.

Bradley (26-8) went nearly 5 1/2 minutes without a made field goal before Darius Hannah scored in the paint to make it 61-47. Hannah's bucket turned out to be the Braves' only basket in seven attempts over the final 7:17.

Hannah led Bradley with 19 points that included 7-of-11 shooting. Bradley shot 52% in the first half and 28% in the second, finishing at 42% for the game.

Stirtz made 5 of 7 3-pointers and was 7 for 13 overall for Drake. Banks had a game-high nine rebounds. Drake hit on 46% from the field.

High Point: 2024-25 Big South Men's Basketball Champions

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. -- Bobby Pettiford scored 17 points off the bench and High Point rallied from a 15-point second half deficit to defeat Winthrop 81-69 in the Big South Championship title game on Sunday, giving the Panthers their first trip to the NCAA Tournament.

Winthrop led by 10 points at halftime and 48-33 with 15 minutes remaining. Pettiford nailed a 3-pointer and followed it with a layup to start a 14-0 run that got High Point within 48-47. Three and a half minutes later, Trae Benham's three-point play broke a 52-all tie and High Point led for the first time since it was 14-13.

The Panthers (29-5) led the rest of the way although Winthrop was within 75-69 with a minute to go. However, the Eagles did not score again and the Panthers went 6-for-6 from the free-throw line to close out their first Big South Championship title. High Point has won the Big South regular season title six times.

The Panthers' 14th straight win was due in large part to 50 points from their bench, 44 in the second half. In addition to Pettiford's 17 points, Abdoulaye Thiam had 12 points, Benham had eight points and 10 rebounds, and Terry Anderson added eight points. Kezza Giffa, who scored 16 points, was the only starter with more than six points.

Winthrop (23-11) had five players reach double-digits in scoring. Kelton Talford led the Eagles with 15 points, followed by Bryce Baker with 11, Nick Johnson with 11, Kasen Harrison with 10 and K.J. Doucet with 10 points to go with nine rebounds.

SIU Edwardsville: 2024-25 Ohio Valley Men's Basketball Champions

 

Southern Illinois University Edwardsville has earned the first automatic bid of the 2025 NCAA men's basketball tournament, defeating Southeast Missouri State, 69-48, to win the Ohio Valley Conference championship Saturday night in Evansville, Indiana.

With the win, SIUE also earned its first berth in the Division I NCAA men's tournament in program history. The school moved up from Division II in 2008 after competing in the Great Lakes Valley Conference for 15 years.

Head coach Brian Barone has the Cougars in the field of 68 for the first time with only the third winning season in his six years in Edwardsville. After finishing 8-13 in Barone's debut season. SIUE goes into the NCAA tournament with a 22-11 record and 13-7 mark in the OVC.

The Cougars shook off a slow start, falling behind 12-5 before going on a 15-4 run and taking the lead on a 3-pointer by Brian Taylor II. SIUE didn't surrender the lead for the remaining eight minutes of the first half and opened up a 35-24 margin at halftime behind nine points from Ray'Sean Taylor and eight by Brian Taylor.

However, after shooting 32% (10-of-31) in the first 20 minutes and scoring far below their 75 points per game average, SEMO made its first three shots of the second half, including a 3 by Rob Martin that cut the Cougars' lead to 36-31. The Redhawks kept chipping away at the free-throw line until tying the score at 36-36 on a layup by Brendan Terry.

But SIUE regained the lead at 40-38 on a jumper from Declan Dillon and subsequently went on a 9-0 run capped by a 3 from Ring Malith to open up a 10-point margin. SEMO went cold again, missing eight consecutive shots before Terry finally broke the drought. Yet by then, the Cougars expanded their lead to 15.

Ray'Sean Taylor, the OVC Player of the Year, finished with 20 points and 13-of-16 free throws to lead the Cougars. He also took over as the school's all-time leading scorer with 1,950 points. Malith added 12 points. Both players grabbed seven rebounds in the win.

Poor shooting was ultimately SEMO's downfall. The Redhawks shot 28% (17-of-60) from the floor, hitting only 3-of-24 of their 3-point attempts. Martin led SEMO with 18 points, followed by Terry's 16. The Redhawks finish their season with a 21-12 record and 15-5 conference mark.

Philadephia Eagles: Super Bowl LIX Champions

 

NEW ORLEANS — While breaking down the huddle after warmups ahead of Super Bowl LIX, Jalen Hurts reminded the Eagles of their dominance all season long.

“We did this [expletive] all year,” Hurts said. “Don’t stop now.”

They didn’t. The Eagles pulled off a 40-22 beatdown of the Kansas City Chiefs in the Superdome, usurping the crown from the back-to-back Lombardi Trophy victors.

Hurts dazzled through the air and on the ground and was voted Super Bowl MVP. He went 17-of-22 for 221 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception for a 119.7 passer rating. Hurts also did record-setting damage on the ground. He finished the night with 72 rushing yards on 11 carries, breaking his own record for rushing yards in a Super Bowl by a quarterback (70 in Super Bowl LVII).

The Chiefs had answers to stop Saquon Barkley, limiting him to 57 yards on 25 carries, his second lowest single-game total of the season. But it didn’t matter. Not only did the Eagles’ passing game step up, but also the defense kept Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense at bay.

Kansas City racked up 225 yards of net offense, which would have been their third-lowest output of the season, before a garbage-time 50-yard touchdown reception by rookie receiver Xavier Worthy.

Here are our takeaways from the Eagles’ second Super Bowl title victory in franchise history:

Hurts handles business

All eyes were on Hurts and his matchup against Steve Spagnuolo’s defense, with a particular focus on how he would handle the defensive coordinator’s notorious blitz. Going into the game, the Chiefs had blitzed at the fifth-highest rate in the league in the regular season (34%), per Next Gen Stats. Hurts had fared better against the blitz this year compared to last, completing 64.2% of his passing attempts and throwing just one interception, per Pro Football Focus.

Hurts passed the test against the blitz with flying colors early in the contest. On the Eagles’ second possession of the night, the Chiefs rushed five on second-and-11 from the Kansas City 28. Thanks to a key blitz pickup from Barkley, Hurts had plenty of time to air the ball out down the right sideline to Jahan Dotson for a gain of 27 yards. Hurts punched the ball into the end zone on a Tush Push touchdown to put the Eagles up, 7-0.

The protection wasn’t always perfect, though. On the Eagles’ third possession at the Chiefs’ 30-yard line, Nick Bolton was the fifth man on a delayed rush up the A gap. No one picked him up, giving him a free shot at Hurts. With Bolton in his face, the fourth-year starter tossed the ball short of A.J. Brown, allowing safety Bryan Cook to swoop in and snare the interception. The pick marked Hurts’ first since Nov. 10 in Week 10 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Hurts rebounded quickly. After a 48-yard field goal from Jake Elliott and a pick-six from Cooper DeJean on his 22nd birthday, Hurts capitalized on a Zack Baun interception that brought the Eagles to the Chiefs’ 14-yard line after the two-minute warning in the first half. On second-and-8, Hurts hit Brown on a crossing route to put the Eagles up, 24-0.

The Slim Reaper carried a scythe and a dagger. DeVonta Smith beat Chiefs cornerback Jaylen Watson off the line of scrimmage and Hurts connected with him on a deep shot for a 46-yard touchdown reception. According to Next Gen Stats, the pass sailed 54.9 yards in the air, which marked Hurts’ second-longest completion of the season and sixth-longest of his career.

Four-man rush takes flight

Defenses win championships, evidently.

Vic Fangio and his unit put on a masterclass in how to limit Mahomes, who was making his fifth Super Bowl appearance in his eight career seasons. Unlike Spagnuolo, Fangio didn’t employ any exotic blitzes to get the job done. Instead, Fangio relied on a four-man rush and sticky coverage on the back end to put Mahomes under duress.

It worked. In the first half alone, the Eagles managed a 47% pressure rate without blitzing Mahomes once. The 29-year-old got a taste of the four-man rush on the Chiefs’ opening drive on third-and-9. Mahomes held onto the ball with his receivers well-covered, giving Nolan Smith and Milton Williams the opportunity to flush him from the pocket. Mahomes threw the ball incomplete.

The Eagles kept bringing the pressure and eventually began to get home. After defeating a block from Chiefs right tackle Jawaan Taylor, Nolan Smith tripped up Mahomes on third-and-3, forcing the Chiefs to go three-and-out.

Two possessions later, Josh Sweat made his case for a hefty payday on the free-agent market. On the Chiefs’ fourth possession of the night, Sweat sacked Mahomes on first down, then split a sack with Jalyx Hunt on the ensuing second down. On the first play after DeJean’s pick-six that followed the back-to-back sacks, Williams joined the party, bringing down Mahomes on third-and-9.

Sweat added another at the start of the third quarter to bring his final total on the day to 2½, his single-game career high. Williams strip-sacked Mahomes in the fourth and recovered his forced fumble at the Chiefs’ 18-yard line. Mahomes went 21-of-32 for 257 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions for a 95.4 passer rating. He took a total of six sacks.

Pick-ture perfect

With Mahomes out of sorts in the pocket, the Eagles’ back seven took advantage of his errant passes. After taking two consecutive sacks, Mahomes fled the pocket to his right prematurely, attempting to make a throw across his body to the middle of the field. None of the Chiefs receivers were in the vicinity.

DeJean, however, was running directly into the path of the ball. The rookie nickel cornerback snared the pass, then ran 38 yards to the end zone for his first career touchdown on his 22nd birthday, putting the Eagles up, 17-0.

The defense continued to force Mahomes into making poor decisions. With less than two minutes remaining in the first half, backed up at his own 6-yard line, Mahomes felt pressure in his face. Sweat put Chiefs left tackle Joe Thuney on skates, backing him up into Mahomes’ lap. The Chiefs quarterback unleashed a pass to the short middle of the field, which a diving Baun corralled for an interception.

The pick marked Baun’s first in the Superdome, where he regularly played for four seasons as a member of the New Orleans Saints.

10.) Engaging in aggressive narratives with our own allies that have already began increasing their defense budgets under Biden, such as Denmark, the UK, Germany, and essentially all of NATO

11.) Withdrawing from Climate Change initiatives

12.) Essentially taking over TikTok, which will *literally* ban you for saying the word "ew"

17.) Defying the US Constitution via ending birthright citizenship

18.) Being responsible for a worse economic situation than the Biden Administration ever was
