Arkansas pitcher Gage Wood reduced Murray State to rubble with historic MCWS performance
Murray State was the story of the NCAA baseball tournament this season, becoming just the fourth No. 4 seed to ever reach the Men's College World Series. But the Racers' historic run to Omaha came to an end Monday as they met their match against Arkansas pitcher Gage Wood, who accomplished something even more historic. Advertisement Wood tossed a complete game no-hitter in the Razorbacks' 3-0 elimination game win, striking out 19 Murray State batters on 119 pitches en route to a performance that put him in rare MCWS air. Wood's no-hitter was just the third in MCWS history and the first since 1960. It was also the ninth all-time NCAA tournament no-hitter. Wood very nearly became the first player in the history of the tournament to throw a perfect game, which he carried into the eighth inning until he gave up a hit-by-pitch. That was the only batter Wood didn't retire, though a hit-by-pitch to lead off the ninth was controversially overturned to a strikeout after it was determined the Murray State batter leaned into the pitch. A projected first-round pick in the MLB draft this summer, the performance didn't exactly come out of nowhere. But coming into the game, Wood had pitched just 28.2 innings in his nine starts with a lackluster 5.02 ERA, though he did strike out 50 batters prior to Monday's game. Advertisement Now, his performance will be immortalized as the greatest pitching outing in the modern history of the MCWS. For Murray State, a Cinderella run through the NCAA tournament comes to an end with a 0-2 showing in Omaha.

When John Calipari will know it's time to retire
John Calipari has been an NCAA basketball coach for 33 years — and isn't going anywhere yet. The Hall of Fame coach said recently that the timing of his retirement hinges on whether he can develop players both on and off the court. 'As long as I can keep helping young people and their families, then I'll do it,' Calipari told Jim Rome on his titular show on his titular show. 'The minute I'm not capable of doing it because the rules have made it or the environment has made it with NIL and with the transfer portal — if it's transactional versus transformational, why would I do it?' Calipari was hired as Arkansas's head coach on Apr. 10, 2024, leaving behind his 15 years at SEC rival Kentucky for a five-year, $35 million contract with the Razorbacks. The Wildcats claimed six SEC titles and four trips to the Final Four, including winning the 2012 national championship, during his time in Lexington. 'My daughter tells me all the time, 'You do it 'cause you wanna do it, 'cause you don't have to do it.' But I love doing what I'm doing, and so I'd like to help 20-25 more families, 30 more families, and then I'll say, 'It's been a good run,'' Calipari said. 3 John Calipari during his tenure with Kentucky AP In his first season with the Razorbacks, the results started poorly as they went 1-6 in their first SEC games. But Arkansas began to rally in the second half of the season, ending with an 8-10 record in the SEC. That was enough for the Razorbacks to earn a 10 seed in this year's March Madness. Arkansas took down Kansas then shocked No. 2 seed St. John's to reach the Sweet 16 where it blew a late lead to Texas Tech to end the season in heart-breaking fashion. 3 John Calipari coaching for Arkansas during the March Madness Sweet 16 game.

While Arkansas did lose starting guard Boogie Fland to Florida, Calipari was able to land the top recruits in Darius Acuff and Meleek Thomas. 3 Darius Acuff at a March game in Arkansas.
