USA’s problematic matchup with Brazil represents final chance to fine-tune for Copa America • Dave Hyde: Panthers are two games from the Cup — and good news is Barkov sounds like he’ll play in them
 Sentinel Sports Final Wednesday, June 12, 2024 | | |
| | | | | Remember what happened 17 years ago with Billy Donovan? What happened to the Lakers in pursuit of UConn coach Danny Hurley is similar, but, of course, not nearly as bad. But it's good to see the smug poster franchise of the league left at the altar, too. ... After a 5-1 wig-splittin' loss to Colombia, the USMNT has another shot against South American power Brazil. Stopping a goal or two would help. ... Gators football is the weak link in the overall sports health in Gainesville. Check out Edgar and Mark on the Swamp Things podcast talking out the baseball team made the CWS (the softball team made it before losing nailbiter to 4-time champ Oklahoma) and the men's and women's track teams have had plenty of success. | | | | Dan Hurley's snub of the Lakers earlier this week wasn't nearly as embarrassing as Billy Donovan's about-face with the Magic 17 years ago, but it was humiliating nonetheless. | | | | | Playing against tough opponents such as Brazil is a great opportunity for the USMNT to prepare mentally and physically for the upcoming Copa America tournament. The USMNT has struggled against Brazil, with an 11-game losing streak and a record of 1-18-0 all-time against the Seleçao. | | | | | The Panthers captain was knocked out of game in third period by illegal hit from Edmonton's Draisaitl. How will that affect Game 3 in Edmonton? | | | | | Richie Palacios started the rally with a leadoff double. Ben Rortvedt drew a one-out walk before José Caballero's RBI single tied it at 2. Yandy Díaz then struck out swinging before Brandon Lowe drove a full-count splitter deep to right-center for his third homer of the season. | | | | | Trinity Prep senior Isabella Hartung was new to Florida high school tennis but she was an instant success. She's the Player of the Year for an Orlando All-Area team that has a lot of Lake Nona flavor. The Lions reached the FHSAA Class 4A state final, losing a heartbreaker, to close a 20-1 season. | | | | | There are concerns it could hurt the rest of the past Masters champion's and former No. 1 player in the world's game. | | | | | The baseball team is the last UF program still going after an improbable run to the College World Series. A three-peat in men's track and field and Parker Valby's dominance furthered the Gators' reputation as the sport's gold standard. | | | | | Battling injury again, his 7.8 points were nearly half of his career-high 14.0 points from last year but he still helped Orlando reach the playoffs. | | | | | If you're going to roll the dice on a first-time coach, you better do it with your whole chest. That ship has sailed for the Lakers, but there's still hope. | | | | | The early kickoff times do not necessarily indicate the program's value after consecutive losing seasons under third-year coach Billy Napier. As ESPN assumes full coverage of the SEC, the network looks to compete with the Big Ten's noon window on FOX. | | | | | "I think it's pretty much the only thing [Brandon Pili] has going, too, because every time he plays his sister in basketball, she wins. So he better be a good 2-gap [player]," Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel. | | | |
