To take over midseason, WSU QB Owen Eshelman had to earn it. He had to prepare like his time was coming. Now it is. I talked to those who know Eshelman best to find out how he arrived here. The consensus: "Esh has that moxie to him." spokesman.com/stories/2026/o…

I recently caught up with Parker Jefferson about his redshirt season at Gonzaga, offseason training sessions with AJ Dybantsa and Nate Ament, and what he’s picked up learning from the Bulldogs’ talented frontcourt players. spokesman.com/stories/2026/j…

Y'all I'm so grateful for the nice words and even the dissenting opinions related to my work at the women's Final 4 and the Geno-Dawn spot. But I really, really want you to read this one. Put a lot of heart into it. nytimes.com/athletic/7174158…

From ESPN Research: The Seahawks are the first team ever to win an overtime game on a 2-point conversion. They're the fifth team to convert three 2-point tries in the fourth quarter/OT, and the first of those five to win the game.

From @DaveBoling: Racing almost unhindered to a 27-3 lead in little more than the first 8 minutes, the Zags played their most complete game of the season, at times making the No. 9-seeded Georgia look no more threatening than a Portland or Pacific. spokesman.com/stories/2025/m…

GU favored by 7 over Georgia, according to BetOnline. 8th-seeded Zags are 11th in national championship odds at 33/1, behind four 1 seeds, four 2s, one 3 (Texas Tech 28/1) and one 4 (Arizona 26/1). Duke (33/10), Auburn (7/2), Florida (7/2) and Houston (15/2) are the favorites.

Michael Ajayi is just two games into his senior season at GU, but it’s clear he’s going to make a serious run at becoming the team’s rebounding and floor-burn leader. "He just assumes every ball is his once it hits the rim and he goes flying in there." spokesman.com/stories/2024/n…

Really enjoyed doing this story on former @UW_MBB star Jon Brockman. If I were a high school kid, I would want him as my teacher. He takes the same passion he had on the basketball court to teaching at Snohomish High School. seattletimes.com/sports/uw-h…

Around this time last year, Jaylen Wells was recovering from a minor injury, trying to get on the court at Washington State. Last night, he hit a 3 over LeBron, who showed him some respect. Such a sweet story.

"I've never thought it’s been a struggle of mine, but apparently it has been." WSU QB John Mateer has been a little inconsistent with his deep ball this season. In here, quotes, numbers and videos on that part of his game -- and how he can unlock it. spokesman.com/stories/2024/o…

“Junior Bridgeman to me is one of the greatest stories ever.” - Charles Barkley The former Buck made less than $3M over 12 seasons in the NBA ($350K was highest season). He now has a net worth of $600M and is a minority owner of the Bucks.
A full circle moment. Welcoming Junior Bridgeman back to Milwaukee as a significant minority owner of the Bucks.

Spoke with @ZagWBB head coach Lisa Fortier for the second time since her cancer diagnosis. Coach has a week left of radiation treatment and then will be finished with this round of treatment. “I think it’s valuable to show them you can face adversity and fight through it.”
