Virginia G Isaac McKneely commits to Louisville
Isaac McKneely, Virginia's leading scorer in 2024-25, announced Thursday he is transferring to fellow Atlantic Coast Conference member Louisville.
"Committed to the Ville," the rising senior guard posted on X along with a photo of himself in a Cardinals uniform.
McKneely shot an ACC-best 42.1 percent from 3-point range this past season, averaging 14.4 points, 2.9 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 32 games (all starts) for the Cavaliers under interim coach Ron Sanchez.
Over three seasons in Charlottesville, McKneely averaged 11.1 points and shot 42.2 percent from behind the arc in 98 games (66 starts).
After finishing 15-17 this season, Virginia hired former VCU coach Ryan Odom as its first full-time head coach since Tony Bennett's abrupt retirement in October.

Noles up early
Seven trips have been booked for Omaha. The Blue Devils or Racers will claim the eighth. Follow all our coverage of the Super Regionals Imagn Images B3 - Florida State 1, Oregon State 0 The Seminoles have four hits and have had a lot of activity on the bases, but they lead by only one run as one runner was thrown out at the plate. Oregon State doesn't have a hit through two innings. Imagn Images B7 - Louisville 8, Miami 1 The Hurricanes leave two more runners on base, and that has been the theme of this game. The Cardinals have made the most of their chances. The Hurricanes have not. Our third straight game today featuring an ACC team. It's Florida State at Oregon State. The game is set for a 6 p.m. ET start and will be broadcast by ESPN2. Imagn Images B6 - Louisville 8, Miami 1 Patrick Forbes with a solid outing to get Louisville off to a strong start this weekend. Forbes went 5-2/3 and allowed one run with a runner on first base who is his responsibility. Forbes struck out nine to more than offset his four walks. Brennyn Cutts takes the mound for the Cardinals, who appear to be in complete control, and he gets out of the inning with a quick ground ball. Nice work from the Louisville pitching staff today. T5 - Louisville 8, Miami 1 This game has slowed to a halt, but the Cardinals just keep scoring runs. Jake Munroe is up to five RBIs with a sac fly to right field, and the Cardinals' lead is back up to seven runs. Miami has gotten runners on, but it has struggled to get them home. That has been the difference in this game. Imagn Images B4 - Louisville 8, Miami 1 The Hurricanes had a chance to cut into the Cardinals' lead with runners on second and third with two outs. But Patrick Forbes gets out of another jam with a strikeout to end the inning. Forbes has allowed three hits and walked four, but he has seven strikeouts. It hasn't been pretty or easy, but it's working. Things are spiraling out of control for Miami. The Canes were on the verge of getting out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the bottom of the third, but pitcher AJ Ciscar's throw home sailed wide to the right. Instead of a double play, two runs scored for Louisville. The next batter, Jake Munroe, drilled a three-run home run to put Louisville on top 7-1. Those are the types of mistakes teams cannot make — especially on the road — to win a Super Regional. Imagn Images B3 - Louisville 7, Miami 1 A double, an intentional walk and a hit batter loaded the bases, and then Miami helped Louisville's cause with an error on a throw to the plate that would have gotten the second out. Two runs scored on the bad throw, and then Jake Munroe blasted a three-run shot over the left-center field wall. The Cardinals have five runs in the inning, and they're not done yet. B3 - Louisville 2, Miami 1 The Hurricanes get their first run of the weekend on a sacrifice fly, and Louisville starting pitcher Patrick Forbes is working hard early in this one. Forbes has six strikeouts through three innings, but he has allowed two hits and walked three. It hasn't been pretty, but it mostly has been effective. B2 - Louisville 2, Miami 0 After the Cardinals kept Miami off the board in the top of the inning, right fielder Garrett Pike leads off the bottom of the second with an opposite-field home run to put Louisville on top... ...and Jake Munroe follows that up with a home run of his own to straightaway center field! Louisville strikes first in back-to-back fashion off Miami's AJ Ciscar, and the Cardinals have all the early momentum in this one. Louisville Baseball / X Mid 2 - Miami 0, Louisville 0 After Louisville's Patrick Forbes issues back-to-back walks and a hit batter to load the bases with one out, he responds with back-to-back strikeouts to get out of the inning! A big missed opportunity for the Hurricanes as Forbes roars along with the Cardinals home crowd while skipping off the mound. We're still scoreless through 1.5 innings in Louisville. Imagn Images We're underway for the second game of super regionals in the 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament between ACC foes Miami and Louisville. Patrick Forbes on the mound for the Cardinals for Game 1 of this best-of-3 series. Today's matchup in Louisville, unsurprisingly, is a battle of aces. Miami's starter, AJ Ciscar, leads the Hurricanes with a 3.77 ERA. Louisville's starter, Patrick Forbes, leads the Cardinals with 98 strikeouts. Louisville Baseball / X First pitch of Miami-Louisville was initially scheduled for 3 p.m. ET but has been moved back to 3:36 p.m. due to some rain. Still, a solid turnout from Louisville fans after the Cardinals took advantage of a stunning collapse from No. 1 overall seed Vanderbilt to win the Nashville regional. Here are the lineups for this all-ACC Super Regional clash between Miami and Louisville about to get underway: Miami SS Jake Ogden LF Max Galvin 3B Daniel Cubet 2B Jr. Dorian Gonzalez DH Derek Williams 1B Renzo Gonzalez C Tanner Smith RF Fabio Peralta CF Michael Torres Louisville CF Lucas Moore C Matt Klein LF Zion Rose DH Eddie King Jr. RF Garrett Pike 3B Jake Munroe 1B Tague Davis 2B Kamau Neighbors SS Alex Alicea ACC competitors Miami and Louisville are on deck from Louisville, Ky.

The Tar Heels are one win away from a second straight trip to the College World Series. The two teams will continue their series at Noon on Saturday. The game will be broadcast by ESPN2. Imagn Images Dating back to 2019, four teams have given up at least 18 runs in the first game of a Super Regional.

ANOTHER home run for the Tar Heels, this time from Kane Kepley, and it's 18-2. SIX North Carolina players have home runs in this blpwout.

Yankees' Aaron Judge says he thought about Red Sox jab before 436-foot homer
New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge went 7 for 14 over his last four games, including a two-homer performance against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday in New York. File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI June 9 (UPI) -- Slugger Aaron Judge said a jab aimed at the New York Yankees from the Boston Red Sox's Hunter Dobbins was on his mind just before he crushed a fastball from the right-handed pitcher for a 436-foot, first-inning homer. Judge commented on the insult and his two-run shot after the Red Sox beat the Yankees on Sunday in New York. Judge went 3 for 4 with two home runs, four RBIs, three runs scored and a walk in the 11-7 setback at Yankee Stadium. Advertisement Dobbins told the Boston Herald on Saturday he would rather retire from baseball than play for the Yankees. The eighth-round pick by the Red Sox in the 2021 MLB Draft made his MLB debut in April. He grew up watching the Red Sox and said he formed "disdain for the Yankees." "My dad was a diehard Red Sox fan," Dobbins said. "And I've said it before, that if the Yankees were the last team to give me a contract, I'd retire." Judge said ESPN's Eduardo Perez told him about Dobbins' comment before Sunday's series finale. New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge went 3 for 4 with two home runs and four RBIs in a loss to the Boston Red Sox on Sunday in New York. File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI The reigning American League MVP, who leads MLB with a .396 average, came to the plate for his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning. Advertisement Yankees designated hitter Ben Rice led off the half inning with a single. Judge didn't take long to settle in for the next exchange with Dobbins. The right-handed pitcher tossed his lone offering -- a 97.5-mph fastball -- near the middle of the strike zone. New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is hitting an MLB-best .396 this season. File Photo by Archie Carpenter/UPI Judge whipped his bat into the ball, smashing it to right center field for his 22nd homer of the season. After the game, Judge was asked if Dobbins' comments were on his mind. "Well, once somebody tells you, yeah," Judge told reporters. New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge hit 23 home runs over his first 64 appearances this season. File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI Judge returned to the plate for his 23rd homer of the season in the bottom of the ninth. That two-run shot to right center field traveled 398 feet. Third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., center fielder Trent Grisham and second baseman D.J. LeMahieu also drove in runs for the Yankees. Advertisement Second baseman Kristian Campbell, catcher Carlos Narvaez, utility man Abraham Toro, designated hitter Rafael Devers and shortstop Trevor Story all homered for the Red Sox. Reigning American League MVP Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees will face the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday in Kansas city, Mo. File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI Dobbins allowed four hits and three runs over five innings to improve to 3-1 this season. In addition to his batting average, Judge leads MLB with 95 hits, a .493 on-base percentage, .771 slugging percentage, 1.264 on-base plus slugging percentage and 185 total bases.

Ravens fans aren't talking about Eric DeCosta's fourth-round steal enough
Ravens fans aren't talking about Eric DeCosta's fourth-round steal enough Ravens fourth-rounder Teddye Buchanan might be the best acquisition that no one mentions. The NFL Draft is called an 'inexact science', and, in some ways, it is. Certain aspects of it make sense, though. When the Baltimore Ravens take guys in Round 1 and Round 2, those prospects are often expected to contribute immediately. Those late-round draftees, guys taken in Round 6 and Round 7. Those guys can sometimes be the equivalent of a crap shoot. They're the guys organizations typically gamble on. If they work out, think of it like the franchise hit the lottery. It's the same case for undrafted rookies. Mid-rounders are where the meat of the roster is found. General managers must choose wisely, but if they're right, they can really find some hidden gems. One such gem is a 2024 First-team All-ACC nod. Eric DeCosta and his staff found him in one of the most unlikely places. The Ravens' flock isn't discussing rookie Teddye Buchanan as often as they should be Typically, when the college football season begins and we build and rebuild our draft boards, the UC Davis Aggies aren't who we're looking for to find elite talent. We often find better players at California doing work for the Golden Bears. Still, it's less usual that we see them there than it would be if we raided Georgia or Alabama. Now and then, you find a diamond in the rough, however. Teddye Buchanan is precisely that. He stands at six feet two. He tips the scales at 233 pounds. He's athletic and provides some upside. Part of the reason for that is his ability to cover and add early value on special teams. Buchanan is making a name for himself at OTAs. Defensive coordinator Zach Orr likes him. Baltimore's defensive coordinator spoke with the media recently. He's been complimentary about his rookie. Time may be running out for Trenton Simpson. If he doesn't shine, Buchanan could sneak in and land a bigger role on Orr's defense. 'Teddye plays like a Raven... He flies around, he seeks contact, he can play in space, and he's a smart player…I'm excited about Teddye.' Stay tuned. This is someone whose name you should circle now. Keep an eye on him at minicamp, training camp, and during Baltimore's three preseason games.
