FSU set to discuss future of athletics, affiliation with ACC at board meeting • Beede’s Breakdown: How Magic couldn’t topple Bucks, dropped 4th straight
 Sentinel Sports Final Friday, December 22, 2023 | | |
| | | | | What's bigger: A 7-6 season in the ACC (USF) or 7-6 in the Big 12 (UCF)? The Bulls stomped Syracuse, but then again, who hasn't at this point? Dino Babers is in the coaching unemployment line for a reason. ... FSU is causing a stir with this impromptu meeting. Question: If a pro athlete signs a contract for an absurd length of time and then realizes the market has exploded for his services and he keeps whining about not getting a new deal, do you have sympathy for him like FSU? The issue for that player is his representation who lacked the vision to see around the bend. Guess who's to blame for FSU locking itself in with the ACC until 2036? ... The Magic are starting to come down to reality a bit, as expected.They shot 8-for-33 from 3 n losing their fourth game in a row. Teams are realizing they manufacture so much offense by running up the court before the defense sets, even on makes. So what do you do to counter? Pull numbers off the offensive glass, get back early and force a team with sub-par shooting to score against a set defense. NBA scouting is next level, and what worked in November won't work as well in December. And so on... | | | | When UCF takes the field at Raymond James Stadium, the Knights do so with most of their roster intact, a rarity today as teams are forced to deal with a growing number of players opting out of bowl games to transfer or prepare for the NFL. | | | | | The board is expected to consider a possible exit strategy that could involve legal action against the ACC and contracts that bind the conference's members for 12 more years. | | | | | The Magic lost their fourth game in a row on the second night of back-to-back against the Bucks on Thursday. "You've got to tip your hat to the Bucks," Jamahl Mosley said after the loss. "They have two big-time players that made big plays down the stretch." | | | | | On a busy night of hoops, local boys' winners included Apopka, Cypress Creek and Montverde, while Winter Park and Boone won girls' games. Timber Creek and Horizon won in boys soccer, while Edgewater, West Orange, Timber Creek, Apopka and Lake Nona all had shutout wins in girls soccer. | | | | | Windermere High junior Ryan Erisman is one of the nation's top-rated young swimmers. He's certainly No. 1 in the Orlando area after racing to three victories in the FHSAA 4A state meet. He is… | | | | | A year and change after taking over one of the nation's most moribund Football Bowl Subdivision programs, Alex Golesh has altered the culture, confidence and fortune of USF. | | | | | Despite losing six top-150 players since November, there is plenty to like about the group Napier and Co. signed. QB DJ Lagway and DL LJ McCray headlined a class that settled at a respectable No. 16 in the ranking after it peaked at No. 3 prior to a 5-7 campaign | | | | | Tampa Bay right wing and NHL points leader Nikita Kucherov had a goal and two assists. Brayden Point had two goals and an assist, and Alex Barré-Boulet also scored for the Lightning. Andrei Vasilevskiy turned aside 30 shots. | | | | | The Lions, who set club records with 18 wins and 63 points to finish with the league's second-best record last season, signed him to a two-year deal Tuesday and soon after took four players in MLS SuperDraft. | | | | | Harvey appeared in every game in 2023, leading the team in rushing with 1,269 yards. He became the first UCF player to rush for 1,000 yards in a season since Greg McCrae in 2018 and was a semifinalist for the Doak Walker Award, given to the top running back in college football. | | | | | Windermere senior Addison Reese 2 two gold medals and 2 bronzes in the FHSAA 4A state swimming/diving meet and heads the Orlando Sentinel All-Area team. | | | | | Miami had five key players who didn't practice Wednesday return for Thursday drills, although the starting right side of the offensive line could be in trouble. | | | | | It's been a busy six months for Mohajir and the athletic department as the school transitioned to the Big 12 Conference on July 1. The excitement of moving into an autonomous conference has transla… | | | | | A three-game winning streak has the Bucs (7-7) back at .500 and atop the NFC South standings, along with the New Orleans Saints. | | | | | UCF, which led by two at halftime, scored 10 straight points with Johnson's 3-pointer giving the Knights the game's first double-digit lead midway through the second half. | | | |
