2+ min ago (1305+ words) Part One of Two. Coming Monday: One more pressing question facing the Huskers With Nebraska completing a 7-5 regular season, there might be more questions than answers facing the Huskers before their bowl game and heading into the 2026 season. Every college football program has questions after a season. Some, more than others. Nebraska, more than most. We look at three burning questions facing head coach Matt Rhule and his staff as Nebraska prepares for its bowl opponent and a long, self-doubting offseason. Will it be two-year starter Dylan Raiola, a five-star recruit who started every game, before his injury, since arriving in Lincoln before the 2024 season? Will it be TJ Lateef, the true freshman who became the starter after Raiola suffered a broken fibula on Nov. 1 against USC? Will it be a transfer-portal quarterback? Will it be redshirt sophomore Marcus Davila,…...

4+ min ago (505+ words) The New York Knicks are an impressive 9-1 at home this season, and they're just one game back of the No. 2-seeded Toronto Raptors heading into their matchup on Sunday evening. Toronto is coming off a loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday night where it blew a double-digit lead in the final minutes of regulation, eventually losing in overtime. The Raptors are still off to a strong start (14-6) this season, but they find themselves as road dogs on the second night of a back-to-back. OG Anunoby and Landry Shamet remain out of the lineup for the Knicks, who knocked off the Milwaukee Bucks to win their NBA Cup Group on Friday. Now, the Knicks are looking to get a 10th win at home, where they have covered the spread in all of their wins this season. Here's a look at the…...

5+ min ago (338+ words) The Toronto Raptors are getting back on the court after falling to the Charlotte Hornets in overtime when they take on the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. The Raptors may have collapsed in the fourth quarter against the Hornets, but they will have to put that behind them quickly in order to put their best foot forward against the Knicks. To learn more about the Raptors' opponent, we spoke with New York Knicks On SI contributor Jayesh Pagar. It's a good matchup for New York. Toronto has talent with Ingram and Barnes leading the way, but they're coming into MSG on a back-to-back after blowing a lead in overtime to Charlotte.

9+ min ago (460+ words) DETROIT --- Michigan State quarterback Alessio Milivojevic and wide receiver Alante Brown are both players who began this season buried a bit on the depth chart, but both of them have found a way to make a positive impact on the Spartans' season. Milivojevic has made a statement across his four starts that he deserves to be considered the quarterback of the future. Brown didn't even record a reception this season, but he has made a difference on special teams --- going for a 92-yard kick return touchdown during the third quarter of MSU's 38-28 win over Maryland on Saturday. Following the win, both players were made available to the media. Spartan Nation was in Detroit to capture the whole press conference, which can be viewed below.

Duke basketball didn't lose any players via the transfer route this past offseason.

Two from that list exhausted their eligibility last season in Roach, whose Bears fell to the Blue Devils in the NCAA Tournament Round of 32, and Blakes, whose productive senior campaign with the Cardinal was highlighted by his game-winner on the home court of Duke's archrival, the…...
