Miami University casually beats Ohio to improve to 25-0.
No team in the last 60 years that reached 25-0 and was eligible for the NCAA Tournament missed the Big Dance.

Cool moment on NBC. It got Shaun White to board down the halfpipe, alone, late at night. Pretty cool idea; I'd have watched five more minutes of that.
In 2022 I wrote about the end of White's unparalleled career and what it set up for 2026 and beyond.

And then Mikaela Shiffrin had her worst (non-DNF) race in almost 14 years. Another medal missed.
Now there's actual pressure on Shiffrin to go out and do something she hasn't had to do in a long time: prove to everyone she's still the best skier in the world.
