Offense Powers Cal On Opening Day

Defending Champs Start 2-For-2

SAN DIEGO – The No. 2 California men's water polo team put on an offensive clinic on the first day of the 2024 season, claiming a pair of wins over No. 6 UC Irvine, 20-14 and Claremont, 19-8 at the Triton Invitational.

With the departures of nine seniors from last year – including Paris Olympians Nikolaos Papanikolaou and Adrian Weinberg – the three-time defending NCAA champion Golden Bears headed into the year knowing there would be new opportunities on both sides of the ball, and that was reflected in the opening-day box scores.

Seniors Roberto Valera and Max Casabella picked up right where they left off in 2023, leading the way with seven and five goals on the day, respectively. Against the Anteaters, fellow ACWPC All-American Albert Ponferrada had a huge game with three goals and six assists, while George Avakian dominated in center with three goals and seven earned exclusions.

In the Bears' first game of the day, they cruised to a double-digit victory over CMS behind four goals from Valera and three by Casabella. Cal took a 5-1 first-quarter lead and outscored CMS 10-3 in the second half. Maddox Arlett, Patrik Kolak, Alex Oprea and Bende Pardi all secured braces in their Cal debuts.

Taking on its first ranked opponent of the year in the evening, Cal found itself trailing 10-8 at the half. The Bears turned things on right out of the break, as Ponferrada converted a power play and then found Avakian for an equalizer less than two minutes into the third. Ponferrada added two more assists before the quarter's end and Casabella scored twice to put the Bears up 13-12 heading into the fourth.

It was all Cal from there. The Bears started the final frame with an onslaught, getting a pair of quick goals from Valera and another two from Pardi and Arlett to go up 17-12 with 5:04 to go. Cal ended up outsourcing UCI 7-2 in the quarter after two late goals from senior Jake Howerton put the game to bed. Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Riley Clansen – who played every minute in goal on Saturday – finished the game with seven saves.

YESSSS I love me some pretty pretty Egyptian floor! I'd like to thank Jana Aboelhasan in particular for filling the very specific style void Cintia Rodriguez left when she retired... UGH MY CATNIP!!

And for as much as I don't think that interview did Elsadek any favors... I respect that she looked at what actual dance in elite floor was and said "I want that."

I'm not sure she has the dance skills for that but deciding that it's something to desire is a lot and I also like that for once we're not getting "NCAA floors are so much better dance..." that often seems to come from people who like NCAA.

Here is her 2023 NCAA floor which I'm assuming is the basis for her African Champs floor that we don't have video for.

I should say that I think some NCAA does have very good dance in it. But as with a lot of NCAA I often think people don't watch past the top 8 teams and there is a lot of "silly dancing" as she described herself in comparison.

Duquesne: 2023-24 Atlantic 10 Men's Basketball Champions

Duquesne earned an NCAA tournament bid for the first time in 47 years, beating fifth-seeded VCU 57-51 on Sunday to win the Atlantic 10 tournament championship.

The sixth-seeded Dukes (24-11) led by 14 at the half, but bringing home that long-awaited invite to March Madness was a struggle. Duquesne scored only 21 points and shot 5-for-29 from the field in the second half, but the small Catholic school in Pittsburgh will head into the NCAA tournament with an eight-game winning streak.

Coach Keith Dambrot, who coached LeBron James for two years in high school, and the Dukes matched a program record for victories set in 1953-54, when Dambrot's father, Sid, played for Duquesne.

The last time Duquesne won the A-10 and went to the NCAA tournament was in 1977, when future NBA All-Star Norm Nixon and the Dukes beat Villanova in the title game.

Joe Bamisile led fifth-seeded VCU (22-13), which was trying to repeat as A-10 tournament champs, with 20 points.

Jimmy Clark III dropped in two free throws with 21 seconds left to make it a five-point game for Duquesne and Fousseyni Drame hit two more moments later to put the Dukes up 55-48.

A long 3 from Zeb Jackson with 9.9 seconds left gave VCU a glimmer of hope. The Rams fouled Jakub Necas as the Dukes struggled to inbound the ball, but he missed both shots.

Clark made two more from the line with 1.9 seconds left and finally Duquesne fans could celebrate at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Dae Dae Grant led the Dukes with 10 points, all in the first half, and was named the tournament's most outstanding player.

The Dukes were up 15 early in the second half and the ball was in play when the game had to be stopped because some Duquesne confetti colored red, white and blue -- intended for the postgame celebration -- fell from a section of the rafters. Most of it landed on press row courtside -- CBS play-by-play man Kevin Harlan had to pull some off himself and partner Dan Bonner -- with a bit making it onto the side of the court. The game was delayed about three minutes for cleanup.

Maybe the premature celebration for Duquesne tempted fate, because the Dukes went more than five minutes after the streamers fell without scoring. Duquesne started the second half 1-for-15 from the field

Bamisile made a pull-up jumper off a fast break with 6:49 remaining to cut the Dukes' lead to 42-39.

Duquesne finally found some offense to hold off the Rams, and Necas made a 3 from the wing with 4:35 left to push the lead to 49-41.

Jackson hit a 3-pointer for the Rams with 2:12 remaining to cut Duquesne's lead to 49-46 and after a forcing a turnover, Bamisile made two free throws to cut it to one with 1:34 left.

The Pac-12 put simply two groups into the related Press preseason top-25 positions, less than just about any significant meeting. The Hotline is a tad much more upbeat. We see about four groups effective at attaining the NCAA Tournament into the Pac-12’s last period of presence. Arizona and USC will be the apparent selections; Colorado and UCLA in addition have reasonable routes into March Madness. Others? We won’t discount Arizona State or Oregon as at-large contenders. Beyond that, the pickings tend to be a tad slim. Presenting the Hotline’s top-25 positions for a season that starts Monday. 1. KansasHunter Dickinson’s arrival (from Michigan) adds among nation’s top people to a stout selection of returnees. It could take time for pieces to coalesce — two-thirds of this roster is brand new — however the Jayhawks will be the NCAA Tournament’s top total seed come Selection Sunday. 2. PurdueThe Boilermakers had been a lock for top echelon of this recreation the minute center Zach Edey revealed their return. The 7-foot-4 rating and rebounding device is regarded as five coming back beginners from a group that won 29 games, after that flopped into the NCAAs. 3. DukeYou require a Duke level to count how many blue-chip leads — record begins with Kyle Filipowski and Jeremy Roach — but also increased college dropout could feel the stress building on second-year mentor Jon Scheyer to create a-deep run-in March. 4. MarquetteThe Big East regular period and event champs get back almost all their secret people except forward Olivier-Maxence Prosper. The principal problem for Golden Eagles: Their particular meeting, which includes the protecting nationwide champs, is completely packed. 5. Michigan StateThe Spartans tend to be extremely well-positioned for an extended run-through the NCAAs as a multitude of blue-chip recruits join mentor Tom Izzo’s gifted selection of veterans. Topping that listing: all-everything shield Tyson Walker. The top Ten appears like a two-team battle. 6. UConnThe 2023 nationwide champions had been whacked by attrition (not surprising) but appear prepared to navigate the roster change with a stellar incoming course that features Rutgers transfer Cam Spencer. Obtain the Huskies early or all the best to you personally. 7. USCFew programs fared better into the offseason than USC, which welcomes right back defend Boogie Ellis and greets in shield Isaiah Collier, the nation’s # 1 recruit. Include a talented frontcourt — keep an in depth attention on Vince Iwuchukwu, an old five-star possibility — and mentor Andy Enfield features perhaps their most useful roster. 8. HoustonThe return of shield Jamal Shead and arrival of wing LJ Cryer (from Baylor) can help the Cougars manage their particular very first period into the tough huge 12. The increased competitors could negatively affect Houston’s seed but will strengthen the roster for NCAAs. 9. ArizonaWe continue to be believing that the departures of ahead Azuolas Tubelis (NBA Draft) and shield Kerr Kriisa (transfer portal) may benefit the Wildcats come March as his or her mins move to harder, much more sports people. If change causes some more early-season losings, therefore be it. Triumph are evaluated because of the few gains into the NCAAs. 10. Hillcrest StateSo what does the encore appear to be? The NCAA Tournament runner-up must handle soaring objectives and enhanced interest. The comes back of Lamont Butler, Jaedon LeDee and Darrion Trammell can help tremendously thereon front side, since will the arrival (from USC) of shield Reese Dixon-Waters, which meets completely with all the Aztecs on both stops of this judge. 11. TennesseeThe Vols washed up into the transfer portal as they are the group to conquer into the SEC if shield Zakai Zeigler totally recovers from their torn ACL once league play starts — of course they look for much more pop offensively. 12. CreightonThe Bluejays get back three double-digit scorers from a group that won 24 games and included a vital transfer in shield Steven Ashworth (Utah State).

But among top-12 groups in the united states is simply the third-best into the stacked Big East. 13. KentuckyThe Wildcats gone back to their particular one-and-done plan for roster building because the force on mentor John Calipari increases. The outcome had been impressive: They finalized the most effective recruits in the united states at three opportunities. Come March, Big Blue should always be a lot dangerous. 14. FAUOur belief in FAU continues to be powerful seven months following the miraculous Final Four run. The Reason Why? Because all five beginners return, as does mentor Dusty might. Nevertheless the transfer to the United states Athletic meeting suggests raised competitors, even more losings and a tougher course back in March Madness. 15. ArkansasMeet more skilled staff into the SEC due to the mixture of a stellar recruiting course, two effect transfers (Tramon Mark from Houston and Keyon Menifield from Washington) as well as 2 first-rate returnees (Devo Davis and Trevon Brazile). Don’t dismiss the Hogs as your final Four danger. 16. MiamiThe Hurricanes have actually a massive void to fill after the deviation of shield Isaiah Wong, but mentor Jim Larranaga’s system should contend. After Duke, the ACC is wide-open. 17. GonzagaWe merely don’t look at exact same degree of skill in Spokane that existed for many years under mentor Mark limited. Transfers Ryan Nembhard (from Creighton) and Graham Ike (Wyoming) can help counterbalance the losing Drew Timme, plus the WCC continues to be Gonzaga’s for taking. Nevertheless the wider trajectory seems to be flatlining. 18. New yorkFrom NCAA Tournament runners-up in 2022 to simple observers in 2023, the Tar Heels regressed massively. Armando Bacot and R.J. Davis tend to be right back, however the battle for 2nd invest the ACC (behind Duke) depends upon the newcomers in Chapel Hill, including Stanford move Harrison Ingram and Notre Dame transplant Cormac Ryan. 19. ColoradoThe 2nd level of Pac-12 contenders begins with all the Buffaloes, which welcome right back ahead Tristan da Silva and guard KJ Simpson. Two newcomers, mega-recruit Cody Williams and transfer Eddie Lampkin (TCU), assistance develop a core four that will propel CU back in the NCAAs. 20. VillanovaThe Wildcats thrived into the transfer portal with Washington State’s TJ Bamba and Richmond’s Tyler Burton (to call simply two). Include returnees Justin Moore and Eric Dixon, plus the post-Jay Wright plunge we saw in 2023 might be momentary. 21. Tx A&MThe Aggies have actually obtained 52 games yesteryear two periods but nothing into the NCAAs, therefore the force on fifth-year mentor Buzz Williams is significant. Four coming back beginners should assist handle heat. 22. Saint Mary’sLed by shield Aidan Mahaney, one of the better people regarding the western Coast, the Gaels should win 20 games (once again) and go back to the NCAAs. And the ground is large due to Randy Bennett’s stellar mentoring, therefore could be the roof reduced because of the not enough high-end skill. 23. BaylorAny system that averages 26 gains per period (in the last four many years) playing in possibly the nation’s best league warrants an area within our positions. Nevertheless the challenge is high for mentor Scott Drew following the triple-whammy departures of Adam Flagler, Keyonte George and LJ Cryer. 24. St. John’sIt should come as zero shock that first-year mentor Rick Pitino obtained substantial skill in a brief period of the time with all the Red Storm. (record includes Oregon State transfer Glenn Taylor.) By March, we expect you'll see St. John’s playing the NCAAs — plus the NCAA examining St. John’s. 25. UCLAThe roster return ended up being enormous, but mentor Mick Cronin is much more than effective at producing an entire more than the components. He won’t have much margin for mistake, particularly in just what should always be an aggressive meeting battle. But try to find an upside shock in Westwood. *** Forward recommendations, remarks and ideas (privacy guaranteed in full) to pac12hotline@bayareanewsgroup.

Texas Longhorns 2023 Ncaa Women's Volleyball National Champions T-shirt - Shibtee Clothing

The Texas Longhorns defeated the Wisconsin Badgers five sets to three to claim their second consecutive NCAA Women's Volleyball title. This was a thrilling match that went the full five sets, showing the heart and determination of these championship squads.

The Longhorns entered the season as the defending champs and had a target on their back all year as opponents aimed to dethrone the top-ranked team. They weathered all challenges on their way to another perfect season with only a single set dropped in Big 12 conference play. Playing top competition throughout helped prepare them for another deep tournament run.

In Omaha, they cruised through their regional to reach the final four relatively unscathed. Their semifinal against Nebraska was their toughest test yet as the Cornhuskers played them tough for much of the match. But the Longhorns came through with clutch play - c2bm108rlz

St. Peter's: 2023-24 Metro Atlantic Men's Basketball Champions

ATLANTIC CITY – They’re back!

Two years after Saint Peter’s made its inspiring run to the NCAA Tournament’s Elite Eight, the tiny school from Jersey City returns to March Madness looking to regain its Cinderella status.

The Peacocks punched their ticket with a 68-63 win over Fairfield in Saturday night’s MAAC Tournament championship game at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall, emerging as the No. 5 seed with its third win in as many days.

Sophomore forward Corey Washington led the way with 24 points, at the Peacocks won their fifth MAAC title overall, and their second in three years.

Saint Peter’s is the team that started New Jersey’s recent run of shocking postseason performances, the first of three New Jersey schools to advance against long odds, with Princeton reaching the Elite Eight a year ago, when FDU won two games at a No. 16 seed, including a takedown of top-seeded Purdue.

Now, with Mason having replaced Shaheen Holloway, now the Seton Hall boss, and just one player, MAAC Defensive Player of the Year Latrell Reid, who finished with nine points, remaining on the Peacocks’ roster from two years ago, they head back to the Big Dance.

The Peacocks now wait to find out their next opponent when the 68-team field is announced Sunday night. They figure to be a 16 seed and could end up in the First Four in Dayton, perhaps against NEC champs Wagner, coached by Donald Copeland, a former assistant coach to Saint Peter’s head coach Bashir Mason at Wagner. If they are in the main draw, it could mean a rematch with Purdue, who they beat in the Sweet 16 two years ago, or Houston or North Carolina.

Defense makes difference After Saint Peter’s built a 61-54 lead, Fairfield rallied with a steal and score by Jalen Leach and a drive by Brycen Goodine to make it 61-58 with 1:39 to play. Washington then missed the front-end of a one-and-one, with Fairfield getting a score from Goodine on a drive to pull within a point with 1:16 left.

When Washington went back to the line shooting two, he sank two to make it a 63-60 game with 1:07 on the clock.

It then came down to the Saint Peter’s defense, which came into the game ranked 12th nationally, getting a stop, with Marcus Randolph getting fouled on the defensive rebound with 50.9 left. He made one of two from the line to make it a two-possession game at 64-60.

Caleb Field then scored on a drive and was fouled for Fairfield, completing the three-point play with 39.9 seconds left. Clarke was fouled and made two free throws with 15.1 seconds. Fairfield’s Jasper Floyd missed a jumper at the other end, with Washington getting fouled with 2.9 seconds left, hitting both free throws to seal the win.

After going down 29-19, the Peacocks rallied with a quick 6-0 run, pulling within four points on a pair of free throws by Marcus Randolph with 1:53 left. But a Yetna tip-in put the Stags up 32-25 at halftime, with Yetna leading all scorers with 10 points over the opening 20 minutes.

Then Washington took over, scoring six straight points, with the final two coming after he blocked a shot at one end and took the ball coast-to-coast for the score, giving the Peacocks a 49-44 lead. It stretched to 52-46 on a triple by Clarke with 7:40 left.
