| | Magic are 1-0 post-All-Star break. Only three games separate where they currently sit as a No. 7 seed and a No. 4 seed (homecourt advantage in the first round of the playoffs). Raise your hand if you saw this scenario as a possibility in October (if you see any hands raised, those are what we call liars). ... Looks like the folks in Gainesville need to take a trip to town and check out UCF and how to run an NIL collective. They wouldn't dare offer even a proven QB like KJ Jefferson $13.8M. ... Orlando City was pretty average in its first month or two of last season before catching fire. Imagine how much better the Lions would be if they can get out of the gates quicker? Well, they believe that's what will happen starting this weekend when the regular season commences. ... It appears that the closest Miami will get to the NCAA Tournament is the NIT. If that. I can't figure who is more unhappy with their team this week, Jim Larrañaga or Rick Pitno at St. John 's. Pitino basically told his team to transfer because they're so bad at basketball and make him miserable. What a low blow. Of course, not lower than what he did in Louisville at the Italian restaurant on Frankfort Ave. But low. 🤷🏽 | | The Magic won their first game following the All-Star break and tied the season-series with one of the East's best teams. | | | The standalone football operations building was included in a proposed football campus that UCF athletics director Terry Mohajir initially presented to the BOT in 2021. | | | Local girls hoops region winners were Colonial, Dr. Phillips, Wekiva, Lake Highland and CFCA, while both Bishop Moore soccer teams advanced. On a busy spring sports day, Geneva, Orangewood Christian, The First Academy (Orlando) and Horizon each won softball and baseball games. | | | Billy Napier kicks off spring football in two weeks with 30 new players and Todd Golden's basketball team falls short in a big moment. | | | The Lions bring back most of the same squad that ended the season among the best in MLS. It took Orlando until May to find its stride, something that should not be an issue this year. Even in preseason, the squad has looked in sync. | | | Miami Hurricanes coach Jim Larrañaga criticized his team after its fifth straight loss. UM likely will need to win the ACC Tournament to return to the NCAA tourney. | | | Bishop Moore boys and girls soccer teams will play in soccer state championship games for the third year in a row. Windermere and West Orange boys and Horizon girls qualified for state tournaments at Spec Martin Stadium in DeLand. | | | Rasmus Sandin snapped a tie with 4:59 left in the third period, and the Washington Capitals beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-3 for their third consecutive win. | | | If the Dolphins win the Super Bowl, Tagovailoa wouldn't be the No. 1 reason. He's not that good yet. Because of that, and one other huge reason, I wouldn't extend Tagovailoa's contract this offseason. | | | Littell, 28, has played parts of six seasons in the majors, and this is basically the first time he has headed to spring training penciled in for a key role. | | | The Lions look mostly the same from last season when they finished second in the East, but there are some additions who should help them level up and make an even stronger push for the club's first MLS Cup trophy. | | | |
