Angel Reese wore a custom Maryland shirt while attending brother's Sweet 16 game
Angel Reese was out in full support for her former college team — the Maryland Terrapins — and her brother Julian during the team's Sweet 16 appearance.
Maryland met Florida in the Sweet 16 on Thursday night, with the Terrapins falling short of the Gators in a tough 87-71 loss to knock them out of the men's NCAA tournament. Even still, Chicago Sky star Angel Reese was in attendance at the game to support her brother Julian Reese after the Terrapins shocked the basketball world with Derik Queen's buzzer-beater in the earlier Round of 32.
Queen became an immediate sensation after the buzzer-beater and his postgame "I'm from Baltimore" comments were a rallying cry for Maryland after the win. Well, on Thursday, Angel Reese attended Maryland's Sweet 16 game in a really cool custom "I'm from Baltimore" shirt from Brown Boy Nation!
Here's a better look at the shirt, showing Julian Reese on the front as well.

Hagens Berman Responds to Appeals to NCAA College Athlete Name, Image and Likeness Settlement
OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Following the federal court's final approval to a historic $20 billion plus settlement with the NCAA allowing payments and benefits to college athletes for the use of their name, image and likeness (NIL), Hagens Berman responded to the first appeal. 'If these lawyers believe that a Title IX case will succeed, they should bring it and not hijack payments to college athletes that could be lifechanging.' To address questions from NCAA athletes about the impact of the appeal, Hagens Berman issued the following statement: 'Attorneys John Clune and Ashlyn Hare of Hutchinson Black and Cook LLC and Rebecca Peterson-Fisher of Katz Banks Kumin LLP have filed a notice of their intent to appeal the historic NCAA settlement approved June 6, 2025, by Judge Claudia Wilken. 'This appeal will block payments to hundreds of thousands of athletes, delaying payments by a minimum of several months to potentially a year or more. These attorneys are pursuing an appeal based on a Title IX issue that Judge Wilken already disposed of correctly, quickly and multiple times. 'Judge Wilken noted that these attorneys cited 'no authority that Title IX applies to damages awards distributions or that damages distributions made by a claims administrator are subject to Title IX.'' 'This is an antitrust case about competition, it is not a Title IX case, and now hundreds of thousands of athletes will have to wait to recover for past wrongs that were addressed in this lawsuit in order for these attorneys to take on this unrelated issue,' added Hagens Berman co-founder and managing partner, Steve Berman, who serves as court-appointed co-lead counsel. 'If these lawyers believe that a Title IX case will succeed, they should bring it and not hijack payments to college athletes that could be lifechanging.' Straight from the Bench In Judge Wilken's June 6, 2025, opinion on the order granting final approval to the settlement, the court clearly states that it overrules objections, noting, 'There is nothing in the SA [settlement agreement] that would prevent or prohibit schools from distributing benefits and compensation pursuant to the Injunctive Relief Settlement in a manner that complies with Title IX.' Berman added, 'Judge Wilken had made that same ruling earlier in the case, theoretically allowing objectors ample time to find authority to back up their objection, and they failed. It's a shame given this utter failure they will be holding up payments to athletes. I say shame on them.' Hagens Berman represents a class of nearly 400,000 college athletes in the lawsuit in which the total value under the new revenue-sharing model is expected to exceed $20 billion over the next 10 years. The settlement resolves three pending antitrust lawsuits, House v. NCAA, Hubbard v. NCAA, and Carter v. NCAA.

Maryland center Derik Queen praised in 2025 NBA draft by ESPN analyst
Maryland center Derik Queen praised in 2025 NBA draft by ESPN analyst Derik Queen is a potential lottery pick in the 2025 NBA draft because of his skill set, and the former Maryland center recently earned high praise from ESPN analyst Paul Biancardi. Queen was the Big Ten Freshman of the Year, averaging 16.5 points, nine rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks in 36 games on 52.6% shooting from the field. He helped lead the Terrapins to their first Sweet 16 appearance since 2016. The 6-foot-10 standout is highly touted for his versatility on offense and ability to score in various ways. He is a tremendous competitor and demonstrated throughout the year his ability to impact games on defense, traits that earned him a high distinction from Biancardi. Queen, also an AP All-American honorable mention, set the program freshman scoring record (594 points) after registering 12 20-point games and 15 double-doubles, which led all first-year players. He ranked sixth in scoring average among Power Four freshmen. The 20-year-old competed in the combine last month, registering a 7-foot wingspan in the anthropometric measurement testing. He dazzled with that length with the Terrapins, another key trait that makes him an intriguing prospect at the next level. Queen had a tremendous rise up draft boards throughout the season and is on the verge of becoming a first-round pick, as a result. He projects to have a bright future ahead and should fit in well with teams drafting in the lottery on June 25.

Angel Reese gets 100% real on Sky's resiliency
The post Angel Reese gets 100% real on Sky's resiliency appeared first on ClutchPoints. Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky have had a tough start to the 2025 WNBA season, but they have remained resilient despite their hardships. Advertisement Going into Saturday's matchup against the Indiana Fever, the Sky had a 2-4 record. Their inability to be potent on offense and stout on defense have prevented Chicago from starting the year with a winning record. Reese reflected on the team's struggles to start the season, which included a four-game losing streak. She is not losing confidence, especially not with her team. 'Obviously we could easily grow and just continue just to lose, lose, lose. But I think we just continue just to work and put our heads down and grind it. It's not supposed to be easy for us. And I think everybody on this team, our journeys haven't been easy,' Reese said. 'Everybody's been underground at one point. Everybody's been through something at one point. So I think we just come together with that chip on our shoulders. I think everybody just comes to work every day and that's just something that we're feeling.' How Angel Reese, Sky played against Fever Chris Jones-Imagn Images Unfortunately for Angel Reese and the Sky, they could not keep up with the Fever as they lost 79-52 on Saturday. Advertisement The Sky could not get any offensive momentum going throughout the entirety of the contest. They shot 32.1% from the field, including 20% from beyond the arc, and 68.4% from the free-throw line. No player scored in double-digits on Chicago's behalf. Kamilla Cardoso and Rebecca Allen tied for the most points with eight each on 5-of-11 shooting combined. Elizabeth Williams and Hailey Van Lith came next with seven points each. Meanwhile, Reese finished with four points, 12 rebounds and two assists. Chicago fell to 2-5 on the season but remain at the fifth spot of the Eastern Conference standings.
