Kentucky G Kerr Kriisa enters transfer portal

Miami Herald31-03-2025

Kentucky guard Kerr Kriisa entered the transfer portal on Monday with one season of eligibility remaining.
"To Coach (Mark) Pope and the UK coaching staff - it has been an absolute dream to play for the University of Kentucky. Thank you for your continued support," he posted on social media.
Kriisa was limited to just nine games (one start) in his lone season in Lexington before sustaining a season-ending foot injury in December that required surgery. He averaged 4.4 points, 3.8 assists and 2.4 rebounds.
Kriisa is familiar with the portal, having started his career at Arizona (2020-23) before spending the 2023-24 season at West Virginia. The Estonia native has career averages of 9.3 points, 4.6 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 108 games (94 starts).
Kentucky's season ended Friday with a 78-65 loss to Tennessee in the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 in Indianapolis.
"To my teammates -- I am so thankful for the relationships we've formed during my time at Kentucky, and I will keep those friendships for a lifetime," Kriisa wrote.
"To BBN (Big Blue Nation) -- your unending support of me and my team has been amazing. Playing at Rupp Arena in front of huge crowds has been a dream come true.
"I will always cherish my time in the Blue Grass State, and I wish Kentucky basketball all the best in the future."

Gabriel Moreno's 3-run homer leads the Diamondbacks in 10-3 win over the Mariners

PHOENIX (AP) — Gabriel Moreno hit a three-run homer, Corbin Carroll added a pair of triples and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Seattle Mariners 10-3 on Tuesday night. The D-backs have won the first two games of the series and will go for the sweep on Wednesday. Arizona scored five runs in the sixth inning off righty Trent Thornton to push their lead to 9-2. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. started the inning with a single, Pavin Smith walked and Moreno followed with a line drive shot into the left field seats for his fifth homer of the season. Alek Thomas reached base four times on a walk, two singles and a solo homer. He also had a stolen base and scored four times. Gurriel added a solo homer and Carroll took over the major league triples lead with eight. Brandon Pfaadt (8-4) threw five scoreless innings before giving up back-to-back homers to Randy Arozarena and Rowdy Tellez beginning the sixth, cutting the D-backs' advantage to 4-2. That ended Pfaadt's night. Seattle's Logan Evans (3-2) gave up four runs, seven hits and two walks over five innings. The right-hander struck out five. Tellez, Julio Rodriguez, Cole Young and Jorge Polanco all had two hits. Both teams had stellar defensive plays in the early innings. Arozarena, playing left field, threw out Perdomo at home in the first thanks to an excellent scoop on a tricky hop and then an accurate throw. Gurriel countered in third, robbing Cal Raleigh of an extra-base hit — and potentially a homer — when he made a leaping catch at the left field wall. Key moment The game was still tight in the sixth when Tayler Scott — making his D-backs debut — recorded three outs to stop Seattle's rally. Key stat Carroll has eight triples this season to lead the majors. He's the only player in D-backs history to have multiple games with two triples. Up next The D-backs send LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (1-3, 6.70 ERA) to the mound on Wednesday while the Mariners counter with RHP Bryan Woo (3-5, 3.07). ___ AP MLB:
