There are more ways to bet the field in the NCAA Tournament, an event that will consume basketball fans over the next three weeks. Here’s a look at the favorites, underdogs and long shots.WHO’S FAVORED TO REACH THE FINAL FOUR?Earlier this week, top-seeded Houston was the plus-135 favorite to emerge as the Midwest Region representative and play in Houston, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

Purdue’s Ramos shocks Iowa’s Lee; Penn St. leads team race

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 06:14:53 GMT

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Purdue’s Matt Ramos pulled one of the most stunning upsets in NCAA Division I wrestling history, ending Iowa’s Spencer Lee’s chase for four national titles with a pin in the closing seconds of their semifinal match on Friday night.Ramos, the No. 4 seed at 125 pounds, got the fall with one second remaining in the third period to end the nation’s longest win streak at 58 matches. Ramos had been vocal about his belief that he could beat Lee.“I work really hard and I trust in what I believe in, and being able to speak it out into existence — I’m not trying to be cocky or anything, but if I can’t get it out into the world, then I don’t believe it will happen,” he said. That will leave Cornell’s Yianni Diakomihalis as the only wrestler still in contention for a fourth title on Saturday. He defeated Penn State’s Shayne Van Ness 8-3 in his semifinal match at 149. If Diakomihalis defeats Ohio State’s Sammy Sasso in the final, he will become the fifth wre...

Chicago Bulls have improved defensively since a ‘wake-up call’ of allowing 150 points to the Minnesota Timberwolves

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 06:14:53 GMT

When the Chicago Bulls allowed the Minnesota Timberwolves to drop a walloping 150 points on their heads on Dec. 18, it was supposed to be a wake-up call.The season already had begun to fall off the tracks, but the 150-126 loss was a different form of demoralization. And for the Bulls, it forced a sharper focus on defensive discipline that had grown slack in the early weeks of December.“It was a wake-up call,” center Nikola Vučević said after practice Thursday at the Advocate Center.A quick glance at the Bulls’ current standing somewhat belies the change that followed that wake-up call. Before the loss to the Timberwolves, the Bulls had slumped to 11-18. Their offensive rating (110.7) was in the bottom tenth of the league and their defensive rating (112.6) was 18th.The Bulls still haven’t pulled themselves above .500 as they struggle to piece together more than two wins at a time, and their offensive rating since that game (114.1) remained in the bot...

Isiah Hartenstein describes difficulties guarding Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic: ‘It’s different’

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 06:14:53 GMT

Nikola Jokic isn’t the biggest talker in the NBA. Especially not publicly.But apparently when you get the big man going about basketball, Jokic demonstrates his brilliance.“We talked a lot. I’m always a guy who wants to learn a lot,” Isaiah Hartenstein said. “So I think that was a special time for me to talk to them and learn. Like how he uses his eyes to pass and stuff like that. I could always pass, but the way he reads the game. When he tells you when you sit down with him what he’s seeing, it’s special. And I think that’s what makes him an MVP-type of player.”“There were certain times [we talked] before practice,” Hartenstein added. “We would mostly be taking ice baths and talk, like, ‘What do you see?’ And how certain things work, and I think that’s how smart he is about the game. I think that’s incredible.”Jokic and Hartenstein, two European centers, were teammates on the Nugg...
