The Rundown(Late morning Edition)

According to sources. The Baltimore Ravens presented a contract to free agent Odell Beckham Jr. But Odell is waiting to see how the Aaron Rodgers saga plays out.

UConn wins the NCAA tournament with a 76-59 victory over San Diego State. UConn became the fifth men’s basketball championship team to win all six of its games by double digits and the first to win each game by 13 or more points.

So Jill Biden wants to invite second place Iowa alongside LSU to the White House. Thank you Angel Reese for standing firm on your beliefs that that should happen. I thought the White House visits were traditionally for champions?? Let’s hope Michelle Obama sees the Tweet suggesting that LSU celebrate at her house.

The nerve of Jill Biden.

The Assist

In troubling news. The Bulls PG Lonzo Ball might miss the entire 2023-2024 NBA season after his third knee surgery which is scheduled for the upcoming week. Prayers up for Ball. When he was 100, the Chicago Bulls were on top of the Eastern Conference ranks.

Michael Jordan wants to sell his majority stake in the Charlotte Hornets. No sale is of serious talk yet and if and when it happens. Jordan is expected to keep a minority stake in the team.

Antoine Davis, a six foot 1 guard from Detroit Mercy is about to take down a sacred record that has stood pat since 1970. Pete Maravich’s NCAA scoring record of 3,667 career points is in serious danger of being surpassed. The son of Detroit Mercy coach Mike Davis has recorded 3,604 points and needs 63 points more to equal Maravich’s legendary record. I say go out there young man and break the record that has stood for half a century.

Flowers.
