Although it's not Aiden's call to make, given the opportunity, his intent is to play basketball next year, Neff told ESPN.

I'm a simple guy. I'm kind of just one thing at a time. I'm not a multitasker. You can ask my wife. So, I'm 100 percent locked in on Arizona basketball right now, and I'm excited to see what this team can do.

Gerry McNamara just coached Siena to the NCAA tournament, winning the MAAC conference tournament and taking No. 1 overall seed Duke to the wire Thursday before falling in the first round.

"How much is it going to cost us? That's the conversation. You've got to lead with that. Because you don't really want to waste your time."

I take full responsibility for the win/loss record of the baseball program over the 80 games I have served as head coach. My goal was to work with young people again and restore the South Carolina program to greatness with a return to Omaha.

A dire white paper published by three administrators at the University of Louisville about how manifestly untenable and economically punitive the current state of college sports is, even for elite programs.

Florida is back in Broward after beating the Chicago Blackhawks 5-1 on Sunday to complete a three-game road trip with a perfect record. Tobias Björfot produced the first multi-goal game of his career, Mackie Samoskevich ended a long scoring drought, Carter Verhaeghe notched a beauty and Sam Reinhart found the empty net for the Cats, who are currently four points bout of a playoff spot. Daniil Tarasov stopped 19 of 20 shots to post his fourth win in a row.

They knew the expectation. The only thing that was different was who's running them out of the tunnel, and to be honest with you, I don't think the players give a damn who runs them out of the tunnel. They care about their plan. They care about being held accountable, and how they're going to prepare, and they care about people that care about them. That's been the message our players have created. I don't have s--- to say to anybody else.
