Yahoo13-03-2025

With Selection Sunday just days away, the Madness is nearly upon us. Men's college basketball conference tournaments are now in full swing and most of the nation's top teams will be in action on Thursday.
Among the many noteworthy games, Cooper Flagg and top-ranked Duke will get their ACC tournament underway with a matchup against Georgia Tech. Surging BYU, which is looking to add to its eight-game winning streak, will meet Iowa State in a quarterfinal clash of Big 12 contenders. And two-time defending national champion UConn returns to Madison Square Garden to try to remind everybody why the Huskies are so dangerous in March.
It may just be a prelude to the Big Dance, but there's a crush of worthwhile action to tune in for in the power conferences and beyond. (Scroll for live updates.)

Flagg headed to the Duke bench after he blocked Duncan Powell's layup attempt late in the first half.
After Flagg denied Powell at the rim, the Blue Devils transitioned up court and Isaiah Evans nailed Duke's first three-pointer of the game.
Flagg would need assistance as he headed back to Duke's locker room with the first half coming to a close.

The Tigers fell to McNeese State, 69-67, in a first-round upset in Providence, Rhode Island. Clemson was ranked No. 23 in the final USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

UNC set to be on road for ACC/SEC Challenge

UNC set to be on road for ACC/SEC Challenge UNC is heading on the road to face off against Kentucky. Last season, the North Carolina Tar Heels played one of the toughest schedules in all of college basketball in their non-conference slate. And now, for the 2025-26 season, it looks like they will have a few blue blood programs on their slate. The Tar Heels are already scheduled to host Kansas in the final game of a home-and-home series but now we know they will also be in Lexington, Kentucky. Per Jon Rothstein, the Tar Heels will travel to face off against the Kentucky Wildcats as part of the ACC/SEC Challenge in 2025. This is the second-straight year the Tar Heels will be facing off against a preseason top 25 team in the challenge after they hosted Alabama in the Dean Dome a year ago. Kentucky is fresh off an impressive season under the first-year head coach Mark Pope. They should be one of the favorites in the SEC again this year. Here are the reported matchups for the event: There are some very intriguing matchups once again this year with Duke hosting the defending national champion Florida Gators. NC State will also head to Auburn to face off against Bruce Pearl and the Tigers. UNC's non-conference schedule is tough once again. In addition to Kansas, they will also play Michigan State and Ohio State out of the Big Ten.

Christian McCaffrey: "I feel great" after injury-riddled 2024 season

After struggling through multiple injuries in 2024, running back Christian McCaffrey is healthy as the 49ers complete their offseason program this week. A day after head coach Kyle Shanahan called him 'a psycho in a good way,' McCaffrey told reporters that he's feeling great entering the summer break. 'I think this offseason I spent a lot of time kind of building back a base starting from scratch, so a lot of it was rehab,' McCaffrey said, via Nick Wagoner of ESPN, 'and [I] wanted to put myself in a position where I didn't miss a day of OTAs and I could practice and play football again, be healthy and not miss a day, and I did that.' In just four games last season, McCaffrey rushed for 202 yards and caught 15 passes for 146 yards. When he won AP offensive player of the year in 2023, McCaffrey led the league with 1,459 yards rushing, 339 touches, 2,023 yards from scrimmage, and 23 total touchdowns.
