Another injury, and shut out. The Stars' laundry list of problems isn't getting shorter. Staab: “It feels like we're starting over again. It doesn't feel like we were able to build off of last season... we're still building, we're still going, we're still trying." galpalsports.com/db/stars-con...

Wow. The PWHL announced that tonight’s Game 5 of the PWHL Walter Cup Playoffs between Minnesota and Montréal has been postponed due to player safety concerns related to illness. A new date will be announced when it can be rescheduled. #PWHL

The Mercury are going to make me look like such an idiot lmaooo

Oh my god the Justin Fairfax news is absolutely horrific. Those poor kids.

Really bummed that yesterday was the last episode of Hang Up and Listen. Have loved doing the show with @benlindbergh.bsky.social and @alexkirshner.com over the last 18 months. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Really sad about this. It’s truly been an honor to be a small part of such a legendary podcast and to talk with and learn from Ben and Alex on a weekly basis the past 18 months. ❤️❤️

Oh yeah: Next week will be the end of Hang Up and Listen. Been an honor to babysit such a storied podcast for a year and a half and get to talk ball with some very fun people. Been fun to have an outlet to get on the mics and talk about non-CFB topics. Might have to develop a new place for that?

In Fort Worth, I asked Geno how he prepares his team for adversity. He pointed to tough practices. "As far as adversity goes, I would say the adversity is me, right?" Friday, that was prophetic. On Geno Auriemma unravelling at the seams in inexcusable, embarrassing fashion: x.com/linzsports/s...

"This is a man who had his ego bruised, who was personally outcoached during the game and who melted down in a stew of his own self-pity and victimhood because of it...After a season of blowout wins and Big East dominance, Auriemma collapsed at the slightest hint of hardship and challenge."

I had a great conversation about my new book, Bleacher Seats and Luxury Suites, with @alexkirshner.com, @benlindbergh.bsky.social, and @lindsaygibbs.bsky.social on Slate's "Hang Up and Listen" podcast. Check it out! slate.com/podcasts/han... @illinoispress.bsky.social

After an embarrassing loss to Vanderbilt Vic Schaefer ripped his player and said they had no heart. That could've broken a lesser team, but because of the trust and love he'd built with them, it made them stronger. Awesome piece here by @lindsaygibbs.bsky.social www.cbssports.com/womens-colle...

The always-brilliant @lindsaygibbs.bsky.social on "It's us", and the how the Tar Heels turned the season around.

Lindsay Gibbs@lindsaygibbs.bsky.social · 7mo ago

The Tar Heels started the season No. 11, but by mid January had fallen outside of the top 25. A road thumping by Notre Dame when they "didn't get off the bus" was a low point. For @cbssports.bsky.social I wrote about the two words that turned around UNC's season. www.cbssports.com/womens-colle...

Do we remember this from last year?
