Missouri State's Ngundeng Ruey is off to a ridiculous start protecting the rim.
Through three games, he's averaging 11.1 blocks per 40 minutes, the highest rate in D-I among players with at least 40 minutes played.
His 7 blocks last night are tied for the most by any D-I player in a game this season (Ahmed).

This is hilarious… but makes sense when 8/13 committee members have major SEC ties…

College Football is wilder than ever…
We know absolutely nothing other than Miami is the best team of the country & it’s not close.

No matter how this ends, the FSU Board of Trustees realizes they have their head coach already in place.
Mike Norvell was prime Saban tonight.

Put another way, consumer prices would've DECLINED the past two years without the tariffs. Brutal.
New from @NewYorkFed: Trump's 2025-26 tariffs contributed 2.9 percentage points to US goods price inflation, via higher prices for imports AND domestic goods.
Without the tariffs, "goods prices would have fallen slightly." 😯

This should be considered a 5-alarm democracy fire.
Trump administration refuses international election monitors for first time in over 2 decades.
The decision not to invite observers from the OSCE puts the U.S. alongside Russia and Belarus, while the Justice Department prepares to deploy its own poll monitors.

More good news on House opposition to the ACC Protection Act.
News: Sen. Ted Cruz has been adamant the House will pass his Protect College Sports Act quickly. But House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said that won’t be the case and the bill likely won’t even pass as-is.
Scalise told The Sun that there are “differences between the House and the Senate” on the legislation that will be “addressed in some amendments that will keep the focus of the bill on letting the schools govern themselves.”
“There's some good elements in the bill, but you saw there were some other problems that a number of our chairmen of the committees of jurisdiction in the House have with that bill, that would need to be fixed,” Scalise said.

Saban and Calipari can spare me the sanctimonious BS about "Saving College Sports." What they really despise is the players having more control than the coaches, and not having a monopoly on blue-chip talent. Now that the playing field has been leveled, its a problem for them.

People say the transfer portal and paying players is gonna permanently harm college football, but what will actually do it is creating matchups no one cares about via conference realignment, making the regular season near-worthless and making the postseason less interesting.
I’ve never seen a league work so hard to make itself less compelling and interesting.
CFP leaders are closer than ever to expanding to a 24-team playoff. They are talking buyouts of conference title games and scheduling logistics of doubling the field.
Foregone conclusion?
“If we can get a decent (TV) deal, we are definitely going to 24.”

If athletes create less value, then surely universities would be comfortable letting the free market decide, no?

Miami, by the way, is 5-0 in last 5 games vs. SEC
NEW: Miami OC Shannon Dawson takes a shot at the SEC and says there shouldn’t be rankings until October:
"Everything's SEC, SEC. They have all their teams in the top 25. Good for you. At the end of the year, half of them will be in the top 30. We can’t sit here and say, ‘hey, we play X number of top-25 teams’. We’ll count those chips up at the end of the year."
