Media, Wolverine legends react to Michigan basketball beating Texas A&M in NCAA Tournament
It was looking awfully bleak in Denver for the maize and blue, with the Wolverines down 10 to the Texas A&M Aggies with just over 13 minutes to go in the Round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament. Michigan basketball didn't exactly look lifeless, but it couldn't get simple layups to drop and missed a couple of front-end shots on one-and-one free throw attempts. To get out of the hole and back into the game, something had to give.
Enter Roddy Gayle Jr., the transfer who left rival Ohio State for the maize and blue.
Gayle had been much maligned for months by Michigan fans, as he hadn't done much offensively. Relegated to the bench after being a starter, he started to come alive in the Big Ten Tournament, and then had his best-career game on Saturday to oust the Aggies from March Madness. The Wolverines are thus now headed to Atlanta for the Sweet 16.
Naturally, Michigan luminaries and media entities came alive with big reactions to the 91-79 win over TAMU. Here are our favorite reactions.

Notre Dame offered Teddy Jarrard and Peyton Houston, the first 2027 QB's to get one
While Notre Dame football is on another one of its recruiting hot streaks in the 2026 cycle, that doesn't mean they aren't looking ahead to future classes. That's exactly what happened on Saturday, as the Irish offered two quarterbacks scholarships, their first one's of the 2027 cycle. The first one went out to Teddy Jarrard, a 6-foot, 3-inch and 190-pound Georgia native. He's currently ranked as the No. 217 overall prospect in the class by the 247Sports Composite, and also has offers from Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State and multiple others. The other quarterback to get an offer was Peyton Houston, a 5-foot, 11-inch and 198-pound prospect out of Louisiana. He's ranked by the 247Sports Composite as the country's No. 85 player, and not surprisingly has an LSU offer among others. The Irish would surely love to stick it to former head coach Brian Kelly, as in just three short years Marcus Freeman has proved that he was wrong about his assessment of the Notre Dame program. You have to like where the Irish are starting off on their 2027 quarterback recruiting, as both of these offers are to high-level players who have tons of ability. More will surely be offered in the coming months, but it has to mean a lot to each of them that Notre Dame first offers to that class for the position were Jarrard and Houston.

NASCAR Madness: In-Season Challenge begins next week
Every year, like so many people do, Ryan Blaney and his team fill out a bracket for the NCAA men's basketball tournament. Now, a bit of March Madness is coming to NASCAR. Beginning next week, NASCAR holds its first In-Season Challenge, a bracket-style tournament where 32 drivers compete head-to-head for a $1 million prize. Advertisement Sunday's Great American Getaway 400 Presented by at Pocono Raceway is the final seeding race; Michigan and Mexico City were the first two races. A driver's best finish in those three races determines his seed. The next-best finish in those three races is the tiebreaker. If drivers are still tied after that, the point standings after Pocono is the final tiebreaker. The round-of-32 begins next Sunday at EchoPark Speedway at Atlanta. The Chicago Street Course hosts the 'Sweet 16' on July 6. The Sonoma road course is the site of the 'Elite Eight' on July 13. The 'Final Four' will be at Dover Motor Speedway on July 20. The two remaining drivers will battle for the championship in the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 27. All four races are televised on TNT. Drivers simply advance by having the higher finish than the driver they are matched up against. 'I feel like the race tracks in the actual bracket are good for us; race tracks where I could knock out a top guy no problem,' said Michael McDowell, driver of No. 71 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet. 'We're also doing it for a million bucks. How can you not be excited about that? That's life-changing money.' Advertisement Most of the drivers are excited about the In-Season Challenge. Joey Logano, driver of the No. 22 Penske Ford, thinks it comes at a perfect time in the schedule. 'This is kind of that point where the newness has worn off, we're into the rhythm of racing every week, it's starting to be about who's going to be in the playoffs, who's not, the cutoff line, those types of things. But it's not really the main story yet,' Logano said. 'So this really spices up the mid-part of the season. We have a long season, so just kind of changing it up and adding something to it is great.' Kyle Larson, driver of the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, agrees with Logano. Advertisement 'I think it's exciting for our sport and our fan base,' Larson said. 'It's an extra storyline within the season. A lot of times the summer months can feel long and not much happening. So I think it adds an element of excitement. Hopefully it goes well for us. I think it's going to reward consistency, so hopefully we can be one of those teams.' Blaney believes the In-Season Challenge will create a lot of race-within-the-races scenarios. Not only will drivers try to win, but also finish ahead of the driver they are pitted against. 'We don't have a lot of 1 v. 1 in our sport. This is a cool opportunity to have those matchups,' said Blaney, driver of the No. 12 Penske Ford. 'It will be fun for people to track and watch. I heard the broadcast is going to have a dedicated team just for the in-season tournament to really keep track of it, which is good. You have to do a good job of keeping track of what is going on within the full race. So I think it's neat and will be fun to watch. I don't see one negative about it. You could see a lot of great battles out there for maybe, 20th, but it means a lot if you get 19th.' Much like the NCAA tournament, where people who don't follow college basketball still fill out a bracket, McDowell believes the In-Season Challenge can attract nonrace fans. Advertisement 'I didn't grow up following other sports,' McDowell said. 'To me, this is a unique opportunity for us to engage with a fan who maybe, like me but the opposite, has never watched motor sports or never got into racing. But they're like, 'This is pretty cool. I can get into this.'' Christopher Bell, driver of the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, thinks having Atlanta as the first race of the In-Season Challenge will make things interesting. 'It's hard to pick a favorite going through Atlanta with it being a superspeedway-style race,' Bell said. 'I think you're going to see a lot of upsets Week 1 of the in-season tournament. So get through that one and see who's left standing.' Denny Hamlin, driver of the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, despite missing last week's race at Mexico City due to the birth of his son, is the No. 1 seed by virtue of his win at Michigan. Mexico City winner Shane van Gisebergen is not eligible for the Challenge since he was not in the top 32 in the point standings after Nashville. Advertisement 'I'm a sports guy, so I'm going to be engaged with it,' Hamlin said. 'I'll know who I will have to beat next week. I've told the team, we are going to try and do what we can. We are going to be up against it because we are going to tracks that aren't very favorable to me. But we are going to try to do our best to beat that one car for the next four to five weeks.' Here is how the bracket looks heading into Pocono and potential first-round matchups: 1-Denny Hamlin vs. 32-Carson Hocevar; 2-Chris Buescher vs. 31-Noah Gragson; 3-Christopher Bell vs. 30-Ty Dillon; 4-Ty Gibbs vs. 29-Todd Gilliland; 5-Chase Elliott vs. 28-Justin Haley; 6-Bubba Wallace vs. 27-Joey Logano; 7-Alex Bowman vs. 26-Ricky Stenhouse Jr.; 8-Michael McDowell vs. 25-Austin Dillon; 9-Kyle Larson vs. 24-Austin Cindric; 10-Ross Chastain vs. 23-Ryan Blaney; 11-John Hunter Nemechek vs. 22-Daniel Suarez; 12-Chase Briscoe vs. 21-Tyler Reddick; 13-Zane Smith vs. 20-A.J. Allmendinger; 14-Kyle Busch vs. 19-Josh Berry; 15-Ryan Preece vs. 18-Erik Jones; 16-William Byron vs. 17-Brad Keselowski.

USC men's basketball completes 2025-2026 roster, adds Sacramento State transfer EJ Neal
Entering this week, USC men's basketball still had one more scholarship spot available on its 2025-2026 roster. However, that is no longer the case, as on Thursday, the Trojans filled that final spot with the addition of Sacramento State transfer EJ Neal. Neal spent the first two seasons of his college career at the junior college level, before transferring to Idaho in 2023. Last year, he transferred to Sacramento State, where he averaged 8.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game. He was not ranked in the 247Sports transfer portal rankings. With the addition of Neal, the Trojans have now used their full allotment of 13 scholarship players for the 2025-2026 season. Hence, USC's roster for next year is officially set. After an underwhelming year one, Eric Musselman is looking to return the USC men's basketball program to NCAA Tournament contention in year two. After another offseason defined by transfer portal movement, the Trojans will once again have nearly an entirely new-look roster in 2025-2026.
