 Sentinel Sports Final Wednesday, May 8, 2024 | | |
| | | | | It doesn't take coach Jamahl Mosley and team prez Jeff Weltman to realize what the Magic need: Shooting. How do you get it without losing what they've built organically? That 's why their paychecks have all those zeroes. That's the needle they must thread. But standing pat means you 're falling behind. ... Schools directly paying players is coming. It's just a matter of when. There are a bunch of wins for a lot of programs that have been vacated over the years for this very thing. Time to restore Jim Boeheim's wins and those Final 4 banners for the Fab 5. This was all ridiculous in the first place. ... The Rays are cooking but still have a long way to go. ... The Cavs have no shot against the Celtics. The Magic were a long shot, too, but they weren't solely reliant on undersized guards to create for everyone else. And Boston is loaded with big, physical players like Jrue Holiday, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Bown who can defend in space and tower over Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland. .. The Nuggets are reeling. I thought this matchup with Minnesota was a toss up. But it might be lopsided instead. ... If Panthers want to flip the series with Boston, they've got to turn around their power play. | | | | Jeff Weltman, president of basketball operations, pointed to shooting as a major need and discussed different paths to improvement. | | | | | The Knights, playing for the first time in the Power 5 event, are looking to qualify for the NCAAs for the fourth consecutive season. | | | | | Among baseball winners were Timber Creek, Lake Mary, Windermere, Hagerty and Harmony. Foundation Academy won in softball. | | | | | A strong start by Zach Eflin and support from up and down the lineup results in a fifth straight win in the new uniforms. | | | | | The Knights' six home games in 2023 — their first Big 12 season — averaged 44,015 fans, 99% of the capacity of the 44,206-seat FBC Mortgage Stadium. | | | | | Both teams were missing key frontcourt pieces Tuesday night, with Kristaps Porzingis (calf strain) unavailable for the second consecutive game and Jarrett Allen (bruised ribs) sitting out his fourth straight. | | | | | A settlement being discussed in an antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA and major college conferences could cost billions and pave the way for a new compensation model for college athletes. | | | | | Cornerstone Charter Academy, Eustis, Horizon, Montverde Academy and Windermere High enter the opening round of tournaments this week as top seeds in regional play. | | | | | What a great week — welcoming his first child, celebrating his team's wins and now receiving a big award. | | | | | The Panthers have not scored one power-play goal on 15 chances against the Bruins this year, and they have lost all five games vs. Boston. They will try to break those streaks against the Bruins in Game 2 on Wednesday. | | | | | In two seasons under Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins are 1-10 (.091) on the road against playoff teams so the odds of Miami winning a road game in the postseason is extremely low. | | | | | "We've gotta leave the officials alone, honestly," Aaron Gordon said after referee incidents involving himself, Michael Malone and Jamal Murray. | | | |
