One of the most impressive coaching personalities in history is leaving the hardwood. Popovich,a tough guy with a soft heart, was never above addressing social+ political grievances in his home country. This makes him more than just a coach. #Popovich will be missed,not just by the bball community

JuJu Watkins made a school-record nine three-pointers and scored 40 points as No. 6 USC routed California Baptist last night.
It was Watkins' 16th game in her NCAA career with 30+ points. The only person with more 30-point games through their sophomore season?
