Drew Timme and Jaime Jaquez Jr. grew up in different states, yet often came across each other at AAU tournaments, sometimes as roommates. The two fancy-footworking forwards with the fantastic facial hair will be reunited Thursday night in Las Vegas, when Gonzaga meets UCLA in the NCAA Tournament's West Region semifinals.
Here’s the difference between fantasy and reality: Sometimes reality doesn’t measure up. Often it’s just on a human scale. Florida Atlantic University players took out their phones on the court and took pictures of Madison Square Garden, aka The Mecca, before practicing this week on the next stop of their joy ride through the NCAA Tournament. They were properly wowed at first look. Only one ...

Chalk one up for Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier. Actually, I should say chalk up one more for Grier, and I mean that on a couple of levels. The Dolphins recently signed inside linebacker David Long Jr. from the Tennessee Titans during free agency, and by most accounts Miami got a versatile and athletic player.

Winding paths bring Texas, Xavier to redemption intersection in K.C.
SEATTLE — Granted, there aren't a lot of people walking around with sweatshirts sporting their favorite conference. The hardcore college sports fans' moods are traditionally dictated by how well their schools, not their leagues perform.
