The loaded slate of March Madness games continues on Thursday in the first round of the NCAA tournament. In the South Region, the No. 11 seeded North Carolina State Wolfpack of the ACC takes on the No. 6 seeded Texas Tech Red Raiders of the Big 12 from PPG Arena in Pittsburgh. The Wolfpack enters […]

If the Patriots strike out on Tee Higgins, who they’ve been linked to this offseason, perhaps New England would make a splash for a prospect that models his game after the Cincinnati Bengals wideout. “Growing up it was Julio Jones, but now I would say more like Tee Higgins,” LSU product Brian Thomas Jr. told […]

John Calipari and the third-seeded Kentucky Wildcats will take on the No. 14 Oakland Golden Grizzlies for the first game in the South Region on Thursday night. The Wildcats enter the first-round matchup with a 23-9 record while the Golden Grizzlies put together a 23-11 regular season. Oakland advanced to its first NCAA Tournament since […]

Xander Bogaerts is an international man of (baseball) mastery. The San Diego Padres shortstop is a native of Aruba who has now played star-level baseball on both coasts of the United States. The San Diego Padres infielder also speaks four languages. He’s the perfect player to achieve what he did Wednesday in South Korea when […]

The 2024 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament tips off Thursday and features an interesting first-round matchup between two potential contenders. Oregon (23-11) enters the tournament as a No. 11 seed in the Midwest Region after defeating Colorado in the Pac-12 Conference Tournament Championship Game. The Ducks have performed admirably lately, but have a tough hill to […]

The Bruins head into Thursday on a three-game winning streak, but they will be seeking their first win over the Rangers this season when New York arrives at TD Garden. Boston is coming off a 6-2 home win over the Ottawa Senators. David Pastrnak scored a hat trick in the matchup and donned a bear […]

The odds were stacked against the Bucks on Wednesday night, but they made the Celtics earn every bit of their latest win. Boston is a brutal matchup for the majority of the NBA, but even more so when the opposition’s best player isn’t available. That’s the situation Milwaukee found itself in at TD Garden, where […]

The Bruins acquired Pat Maroon understanding the three-time Stanley Cup champion would not be ready to play immediately, but the veteran appears on track to join Boston in time for the postseason. Maroon practiced with the team at TD Garden for the first time since the Black and Gold dealt a 2026 conditional sixth-round pick […]

The New England Patriots reportedly are adding a piece to their defensive backfield. The Patriots have agreed to terms with safety Jaylinn Hawkins, as first reported Thursday by NFL Media’s Mike Garafolo. MassLive’s Mark Daniels reported it was a one-year deal. The 26-year-old Hawkins was selected in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. […]

The Cincinnati Bengals filled a hole in their offense with the signing of Trent Brown. And while it was no surprise to see Brown leave the New England Patriots, it still created a 370-pound void on New England’s left edge. Brown’s departure has an obvious impact on the Patriots. But might Brown signing in Cincinnati […]

Jayden Daniels is an exciting quarterback prospect, one who might check all the boxes for the Patriots. The problem? New England might not have a chance to draft him. You probably can take it to the bank that Caleb Williams will be drafted first overall by the Chicago Bears next month. That would leave Daniels […]

The Patriots face what could be the most important draft in franchise history next month, and there doesn’t seem to be mixed opinions on what they should do with the No. 3 pick. New England fans largely agree that a quarterback should be selected third overall. However, the possibility of that selection being a quarterback […]

The Bucks didn’t beat the Celtics on Wednesday night, but Milwaukee probably left TD Garden with a level of affirmation. The Eastern Conference’s second-ranked team was in for a very difficult challenge going up against Boston without all-world superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. The potential playoff preview played out accordingly, with the Celtics taking advantage of Antetokounmpo’s […]

In celebration of the Boston Bruins’ 100th season, NESN is dedicating an episode of the “Ultimate Bruins Show” to each member of the Bruins All-Centennial team. Tune in Thursday at 6 p.m. ET as we honor Frank Brimsek. Goaltenders are the most important player on a hockey team. Often described as agile and technically sound, […]

The buzz around a draft day trade continues to grow a month ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft, and the New England Patriots will face a key decision with the third overall pick. NFL Media’s Daniel Jeremiah reported last Friday there is a “strong expectation” that four quarterbacks will be selected at the top of […]

The 2024 NCAA Men’s College Basketball Tournament finally has arrived. The first game of The Big Dance will see Michigan State battle Mississippi State in a West Region matchup in Charlotte.

The 2024 NCAA Men’s College Basketball Tournament kicks off Thursday, and North Carolina begins its campaign to win its first national championship since 2017. Hubert Davis’ side finished first in ACC play this season, but the Tar Heels suffered an upset loss to the NC State Wolfpack in the conference tournament. Despite that, UNC earned […]

The Red Sox need a big season from Triston Casas, and he’s anticipating one. Casas flashed star potential in his first full season with Boston in 2023 when he collected 24 home runs with 70 RBIs and slugged .490 across 132 games. But expectations have changed for the 24-year-old, who’s gone from an upstart to […]

To borrow some phrasing from “Draft Day,” many believe the Patriots should select a quarterback at No. 3 no matter what. Scott Zolak doesn’t see it that way. Signal-caller arguably is New England’s biggest need heading into the 2024 NFL Draft, and the franchise is in position to land one of the best in the […]

Joe Mazzulla’s unusual gamesmanship tactic in last week’s Suns-Celtics game didn’t sit well with Charles Barkley. Royce O’Neale tried to get a shot up late in the fourth quarter after play was stopped at TD Garden, but Mazzulla didn’t make it easy for the Phoenix forward. The Celtics coach made his way onto the court […]

BOSTON — Jaylen Brown takes pride in being effective on both ends of the floor for the Celtics and did just that when the No. 2 seeded Milwaukee Bucks rolled into town on Wednesday night for a marquee matchup at TD Garden. With Jrue Holiday ruled out before tip-off, Brown assumed the responsibility of guarding […]

Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley drove past 7-foot-2 Luke Kornet in the second quarter and immediately hit the Celtics big man with a “too small” trash talk gesture. Celtics guard Payton Pritchard didn’t care for the gesture and made the Bucks pay by dropping 10 points in the quarter. “He kind of lit a fire […]

The Boston Celtics had a chance to face the Milwaukee Bucks without star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo on Wednesday night. Boston certainly seemed to play up to that advantage, leading by 18 points after three quarters. The final 12 minutes were not smooth sailing for the Celtics as Milwaukee opened the quarter on a 21-9 run. […]

The Milwaukee Bucks outscored the Celtics 36-21 in the fourth quarter, but Boston held on for the 122-119 win, its seventh straight victory. Jaylen Brown was tasked with guarding Bucks star Damian Lillard. Despite the guard’s 32-point outing, Brown took his assignment seriously and made Lillard earn each point. “I was just trying to chase […]
