Why Tulsa women could be most dangerous ninth seed at NCAA regionals
Mike Roters' first impression after being hired last July to lead the Tulsa women's golf program? 'The unwavering confidence of these girls,' Roters answered. 'They had big goals from the get-go; they were making nationals again.' Even after losing head coach Annie Young, who took an assistant position at her alma mater, Oklahoma State. Even after finishing the fall ranked No. 100 in the country and 26 wins below .500. Even after entering the American Athletic Conference Championship in a win-or-go-home scenario. 'It's all they talk about, and they haven't proven themselves wrong yet,' Roters added. 'They truly believe they're getting there.' The Golden Hurricane dominated their conference foes last week at Southern Hills Plantation in Brooksville, Florida, winning by 21 shots the program's second AAC title, first since 2021, and nabbing an automatic bid into an NCAA regional. Individually, midseason arrival Romaine Masserey from Collombey, Switzerland, became the school's first conference medalist. Now, Tulsa is just a top-five regional finish away from accomplishing that goal of reaching a third consecutive NCAA Championship. Brentley Romine, This after the Golden Hurricane almost didn't have a team. It was early July with Young announced her shocking departure. Lily Thomas had already turned pro in the middle of last season to compete in LPGA Q-Series, and accompanying Young to Stillwater was the team's top player, Grace Kilcrease, who is currently the No. 35 player in the nation for the Cowgirls. Sophomore Allyn Stephens also entered her name in the portal, and others were apparently considering the same. Roters was in Carlsbad, California, recruiting as South Carolina's assistant at the IMG Academy Junior World Championships when his phone rang. On the other line was a Tulsa administrator. That was a Tuesday; Roters was officially hired that Friday. He was welcomed by a tight-knit team – a group that included Stephens, who returned to Tulsa after Roters' hire – that spends a lot of time together, cooking meals, holding team meetings and communicating nonstop. But that cohesiveness couldn't overcome the loss of Kilcrease last fall. Roters estimates it was around six shots per round that the Golden Hurricane were trying to make up, 18 to 20 per tournament. 'I knew I needed to be patient with them,' Roters said, 'but I also knew we needed to find another player.' And so, Roters reached out to his European contacts and came across a late-bloomer on the Swiss national team who didn't start playing golf until age 16 and was graduating from Sorbonne University in Paris. Masserey, a skier for much of her childhood, arrived in January to help dig Tulsa out of a sizable hole. Masserey's 72.8 adjusted scoring average isn't quite comparable to Kilcrease, but her four top-25s to close the regular season have been enough to spark this program. 'We're not where we are today without Romaine,' Roters said. • • • Notable midseason arrivals • Eila Galitsky, South Carolina (Scoreboard rank: 18) • Chloe Kovelesky, Wake Forest (24) • Eunseo Choi, Pepperdine (190) • Romaine Masserey, Tulsa (208) Starting in March, Roters has urged his players, of which four have NCAA Championship experience, to treat every tournament like a regional. They've yet to finish outside the top five since, including at conference, where a runner-up finish still wouldn't have been enough to get them over the .500 mark. 'I've just kept pressuring them, putting those scenarios on them,' Roters said. 'And they just answered every time, and at conference, you could see the depth and experience, they just didn't fold, and they put the hammer down.' Cue the water shower! 🚿 Romaine Masserey is The American Women's Golf Individual Champion!🏆@TulsaWGolf is also The American Women's Golf Team Champions!⛳️🏆#AmericanWay x #AmericanGolf Tulsa is projected right now as a ninth seed heading to Lubbock, Texas. If the fields were finalized today, they'd be joined in that regional by a fifth-seeded Oklahoma State. Roters says his team would relish that opportunity, but truthfully, it doesn't matter who they're up against. 'To be honest, I don't think anybody wants to see us in their regional because we're playing to a four or five seed,' Roters said. 'I don't care where we go; we're a dangerous team right now that's trying to upset someone.'

UNC basketball odds to make NCAA Tournament according to FanDuel
UNC basketball odds to make NCAA Tournament according to FanDuel Can UNC defy the odds (literally) and make the NCAA Tournament? We're in the home stretch on Selection Sunday, with many college basketball fans wondering: will the North Carolina Tar Heels make the NCAA Tournament? UNC is currently on the outside looking in, with Joe Lunardi putting North Carolina amongst his "First Four Out" Saturday night. The Tar Heels were amongst the "Last Four In" entering Friday night's ACC Tournament Semifinals matchup against archrival Duke, but another heartbreaking loss in the final seconds move the Tar Heels' positioning. UNC got some much-needed help from VCU on Sunday afternoon, as the Rams beat George Mason in the Atlantic 10 Championship, which prevents a stolen bid. North Carolina also needs Memphis to beat UAB in the American Athletic Conference Championship, a game which will end just before Selection Sunday starts at 6 p.m. ET. There's also betting odds for the Tar Heels to make the NCAA Tournament, but those aren't extremely favorable. As of 4 p.m. ET on Sunday, March 16, FanDuel gave UNC +195 odds to grab a spot in the Big Dance. North Carolina was at +300 on Saturday night, but as we mentioned before, VCU dished out a major assist by beating George Mason. The Tar Heels and Texas Longhorns have identical odds to make the NCAA Tournament, while Indiana is most likely to advance amongst bubble teams. I simply don't understand why Xavier has better odds than Texas and UNC – the Longhorns have a 7-10 record in Quad 1 games, while UNC and Xavier both have just one Quad 1 victory each. As weak as the ACC is this year, it's stronger than the Big East.

ACC reveals the 2025 Duke football schedule, including a Tulane rematch for Darian Mensah
The Duke Blue Devils, along with every other member of the ACC, officially revealed their 2025 college football schedule on Monday evening, and new quarterback Darian Mensah will see a familiar foe in the non-conference leadup. Duke opens the second campaign of the Manny Diaz era with an August 30 game against Elon, exactly one year to the day after the 2024 opener against that same Phoenix team. The Blue Devils won 26-3 in Diaz's first game thanks to a pair of Maalik Murphy touchdown passses. The Blue Devils play another Big Ten team in Week 2, this time hosting the Illinois Fighting Illini, before traveling for their first road game on September 13. The team? The Tulane Green Wave, Mensah's former program. The new Duke quarterback announced his decision to transfer after leading Tulane to nine wins and an American Athletic Conference Championship appearance as a redshirt freshman. Duke's first ACC game comes against the NC State Wolfpack in Durham on September 20, and it closes the season with back-to-back rivalry battles against the North Carolina Tar Heels (Nov. 22) and Wake Forest Demon Deacons (Nov. 29). Check out the full schedule below: 2025 Duke football schedule
