I honestly, I saw a tweet that said I should go to the net more, Gauff said in the post-match interview, and I was like, Yeah, you're right, I win a lot of net points. So I honestly was thinking about that on match point, and I was just hoping I didn't miss the ball in the net because I've done that a couple times, but I was just focused on just hitting it over the net.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -- Indiana defensive lineman Hosea Wheeler pulled out his phone and displayed a meme of Gilbert Huph, the aptly named, ever-scowling insurance boss of fictional superhero Bob Parr from "The Incredibles." But rather than a dark suit and tie, Huph is wearing an Indiana polo shirt and a headset. His arms hang at his sides, and one eyebrow is slightly raised as he glares ahead.

"I get just enough to cover my rent a month," she told the . "It's not enough to be a career and this is a full-time job."

The Hurricanes have taken the hard way back to the mountaintop, beating Texas A&M in College Station, Ohio State -- the defending national champs -- in the Cotton Bowl and an Ole Miss team that was playing inspired football. Watching Carson Beck scramble into the end zone to beat Ole Miss and return The U to a national championship game for the first time in 23 years, all Mumme could think about was when he first saw Shannon Dawson's moxie against the Arkansas-Monticello Boll Weevils.

Morant's talent can't be questioned at this point. In a vacuum, he's one of the most talented point guards in the league. Even though it seems that he hasn't been himself lately, there's still reason to believe that he can work his way back to an All-Star form. But that's under the assumption that his biggest "flaw" right now is his effort.

Has Kasparas Jakucionis turned a corner? Over his last three games specifically, as he's garnered a bigger role in the rotation (because of injuries), it does seem as if Jakucionis has turned a corner in his early-season struggles. Jakucionis is averaging 17 points, four assists, and three rebounds on 62 percent shooting from the field and 61 percent shooting from 3-point range during that span.

Kiki Rice led the Bruins (22-1, 12-0 Big Ten) with 17 points and seven rebounds, while Gabriela Jaquez got things started, scoring 10 of her 14 points in the first quarter. Rutgers, playing without its two leading scorers in Nene Ndiaye and Imani Lester, committed 18 turnovers that the Bruins converted into 25 points. During the Bruins' first possession of the game, Rice stepped back from the three-point line, shooting an air ball.

Keshad Johnson is not a name that many non-Miami Heat fans may know. However, he'll have the opportunity to change that as he prepares to compete in the 2026 NBA Slam Dunk Contest this weekend. The Slam Dunk Contest at NBA All-Star Weekend may not be what it used to be, but despite the lack of big names, it's still one of the biggest lures of the festivities.
