Don’t be surprised when the Texas Southern men stumble
Forgive me if I’m not drinking the Texas Southern Kool-Aid. Sure, I see them as the No. 1 seed heading into the the Southwestern Athletic Conference men’s basketball tournament at Garland, Texas, beginning March 9. But don’t discount the idea of an upset.

Wright, who notched a sixth [...]
South Carolina State roars into FCS postseason, but questions remain
South Carolina State’s at-large berth in the FCS postseason meant that a pair of worthy bubble teams in Jacksonville and Liberty were left on the outside looking in.
