Liam Doyle by the numbers against Miami in 2025 Knoxville Regional
Left-handed pitcher Liam Doyle made his 17th appearance and 16th start during the 2025 season for Tennessee on Friday.
No. 14 national seed Tennessee (44-16) defeated No. 4 regional seed Miami University (35-22), 9-2, to open play in the NCAA Tournament Knoxville Regional at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
Doyle (10-3) pitched 6.2 innings and recorded 11 strikeouts versus the Redhawks. He totaled 104 pitches, including 69 strikes, against 26 batters. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound junior allowed four hits (two doubles), one run and three walks. He forced Miami into two fly outs, six ground outs and one double play.
"It was huge," Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello said of Doyle's pitching performance to open the Knoxville Regional. "It is a tournament. I mean, it's really a fresh start to the whole deal. There's a lot of information from the games we played prior, but none of them really matter. It is about tonight, or at least was, but you do have a tournament, again, you're in the middle of.
"For him to do that, not only, I'm sure he feels good about, and it helped capitalize on the runs we were scoring in the middle of the game, but put us in a good position with our bullpen."

Nets hosting sleeper prospect for pre-draft workout after stellar combine performance
The post Nets hosting sleeper prospect for pre-draft workout after stellar combine performance appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Brooklyn Nets are getting an up-close look at one of the top shooters in the draft. Tennessee guard Chaz Lanier will visit the team for a predraft workout on Thursday, sources told ClutchPoints. Advertisement Following an outstanding season with the Volunteers, Lanier is ranked 42nd on ESPN's Top 100 big board. The 23-year-old could be a target for the Nets with the 36th pick. Brooklyn also owns the eighth, 19th, 26th and 27th selections. Chaz Lanier visiting Nets for predraft workout following breakout season at Tennessee David Banks-Imagn Images Lanier, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard out of Nashville, Tennessee, spent his first four college seasons at the University of North Florida. During his senior season, he led the nation in three-point percentage (44.0) among 74 players to attempt over seven per game. Following the breakout campaign, he transferred to Tennessee for his fifth year, where he won the Jerry West Award as the nation's top shooting guard. Advertisement Lanier averaged 18.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists while shooting 39.5 percent from three on 8.2 attempts per game with the Volunteers. While he has limitations as a playmaker and defender, his off-ball movement and dead-eye shooting have caught the eyes of NBA scouts. Lanier has been rising in mock drafts following an impressive showing at the combine. The sharpshooter ranked third in standing vertical leap, fifth in lane agility and 12th in three-quarter court sprint among 68 players who tested in Chicago. He finished second in aggregate shooting, behind only Alabama's Marc Sears. Lanier is tabbed to go 31st to the Minnesota Timberwolves in ClutchPoints' Mock Draft 3.0. ESPN projects him to go 40th to the Washington Wizards, while Bleacher Report has him going 35th to the Philadelphia 76ers. The Nets need an influx of talent in their backcourt. Cam Thomas, Keon Johnson and Reece Beekman are Brooklyn's only guards under team control entering the offseason.

Mural honoring baseball icon Jackie Robinson defaced in Miami; police investigating
Police have launched an investigation after vandals targeted murals of baseball legends Jackie Robinson and Minnie Miñoso. The paintings, located along a fence in Miami's Dorsey Park, are part of a collection of artwork honoring multiple legendary baseball stars. Negro League teams once played games at the historic park. Prominent members of the community held a news conference and said the vandalism was initially discovered by a 7-year-old boy. The marks left on the murals were identified as Nazi symbols, speakers at the news conference said. Plywood has since been placed over the murals of Robinson and Miñoso. "I know you may not be able to show it on television, but we need the community to uncover the hurt and the hatred that is existing," said Terrance Cribbs-Lorrant, executive director of the City of Miami Black Police Precinct. "The reason why this keeps being perpetuated is because we keep covering it up." On Wednesday, Democratic U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick described the vandalism as a "vile act of hatred." "We must treat this for what it is: a hate crime meant to instill fear and division. But we will not be intimidated. We will respond with unity, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to truth, justice, and the preservation of our history," she said. Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball in 1947 when he became the first Black player, signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Miñoso became MLB's first Afro-Latino player and the first Black player for the Chicago White Sox. The murals have been displayed in the park since 2011. Police have yet to make any arrests for the vandalism. Fox News Digital contacted the Miami Police Department for more information.

When was the last time the Thunder made the NBA Finals?
When was the last time the Thunder made the NBA Finals? The Oklahoma City Thunder won an NBA championship back in 1979 when they were the Seattle SuperSonics, but the franchise is still searching for its first title since relocating in 2008. They'll have the chance to do just that this season as the No. 1-seeded Thunder captured the Western Conference title for the fifth time in franchise history and just the second since moving to Oklahoma City. Now, they face the Eastern Conference champion Indiana Pacers, who have caught fire in the postseason as the No. 4 seed and are searching for their first NBA title. For OKC, it's the first trip to the NBA Finals since 2012 when a team led by Kevin Durant, James Harden and Russell Westbrook fell to the Miami Heat in five games in what was Miami's first of two titles with the Big 3 and the first in LeBron James' career. The Thunder have been eliminated twice in the Western Conference Finals since that run, first in 2014 and again in 2016 after squandering a 3-1 lead against the Golden State Warriors. Now back in the NBA Finals once again, the Thunder will hope for a better result than their last trip against Miami in 2012.
