NCAA baseball tournament descends into mayhem as players, coaches, parents ejected
Tensions flared during Saturday's NCAA baseball game between Samford and Mercer. Samford outfielder Michael Gupton hit a two-run homer to increase the Bulldogs' lead over the Mercer Bears. Gupton appeared to shout something at Mercer players during his spirited jog around the bases. Gupton's words seemed to target at least one player on the baseball diamond as well as the Mercer dugout. Gupton eventually touched home plate and celebrated with his Samford teammates. A visibly frustrated Mercer shortstop, Bradley Frye, attempted to follow Gupton and had to be held back by umpires. Mercer coaches also voiced their frustrations to the umpires. Mercer players then began leave the playing field in apparent protest. Several Mercer players had to be held back in the dugout. Southern Conference commissioner Michael Cross was in attendance for the game and was eventually seen talking with the umpires. Gupton and Frye were ejected from the game after a video review. Coaches were also thrown out, with Samford assistant Gil Walkes and Mercer pitching coach Tanner Gordon receiving ejections. Frye's mother was also shown the door after she was seen standing and jumping on top of the dugout moments after she learned of her son's ejection. Other Mercer fans were tossed out after they went onto the dugout roof. The game was delayed for approximately 25 minutes. Samford ultimately celebrated a 5-1 victory on Saturday. The win punched Samford's ticket to the SoCon championship game. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Georgia lands second player from transfer portal
Georgia lands second player from transfer portal The Georgia Bulldogs have started getting aggressive on the transfer portal it has rewarded them. Former Wofford Terriers guard Justin Bailey has transferred to Georgia. Justin Bailey is transferring to his third team. Bailey originally went to South Carolina Upstate for two years before transferring to Wofford. At both schools, Bailey has established himself as a physical, aggressive defender who enjoys driving in the paint. Georgia could absolutely use that skill set, since Georgia lost departed starting Silas Demary Jr. to the transfer portal. Bailey averaged 9.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists per games last season with Wofford, who won the Southern Conference (SoCon) tournament. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound guard helped Wofford make an NCAA Tournament appearance, but the No. 15 seed Terrier lost to the Tennessee Volunteers in the opening round. Bailey joins former California guard Jeremiah Wilkinson as Georgia's incoming transfers. This transfer portal class could be another gem for basketball coach Mike White. Last year, White acquired key depth pieces Tyrin Lawrence, Dakota Leffew, and De'Shayne Montgomery from the transfer portal. It remains to be seen who else Georgia lands in the portal, but Bailey is in line to compete for the starting point guard. The Bulldogs are still looking to fill out the depth of the team, though. They've lost Demary, Montgomery, Savo Drezgic, and RJ Godfrey to the transfer portal, and Lawrence and Leffew are out of eligibility. Star forward Asa Newell, who was Georgia's leading scorer also entered the NBA draft.

On Friday night, news broke that Texas A&M will hire Samford Bulldogs men's basketball coach Bucky McMillan as its 23rd coach in program history. Texas A&M basketball fans can look forward to an exciting new era with McMillan as coach. Known for his dynamic "Bucky Ball" style, McMillan's aggressive offense focuses heavily on 3-point shooting and pressing defense. That will be a significant shift from the slower-paced strategy under Buzz Williams. This fast-paced approach is expected to energize the program, attract fans and fill seats in Reed Arena. After top candidate Chris Beard decided to stay at Ole Miss, Texas A&M athletic director Trev Alberts reviewed his options and settled on McMillan, a multiple-time Southern Conference Coach of the Year. Despite mixed initial reactions, the hire is being praised for its potential to transform the Aggies' basketball identity. McMillan faces immediate challenges, including hiring a coaching staff and navigating the transfer portal as the entry window closes on April 22. However, his proven track record and offensive creativity offer hope for success. With Texas A&M's enhanced resources and McMillan's leadership, the Aggies aim to rebuild their roster and compete at a higher level in the SEC. Fans can expect a fast-pace brand of basketball that will redefine Texas A&M's program. Below are some of the best reactions from Aggie fans and the media after the announcement.
