Ballin' Like My Sister: Angel Reese Celebrates Her Brother, Julian, Signing With The Lakers
Source: Prince Williams / Getty WNBA star Angel Reese has another reason to celebrate, and this time it's the success of her little brother, Julian Reese. The younger Reese baller went undrafted but scored a free agent contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. Delayed but not denied! Julian was a standout at the University of Maryland and helped carry his team to the Big 10 Tournament. The Terapins were defeated by the Michigan Wolverines on a last second layup in the Sweet Sixteen. Nonetheless, three players from the No. 4 seeded team are headed to the NBA alongside the six-foot-nine power forward Reese. He has some pretty big shoes to fill as his sister, Angel, has already etched her name in WNBA history books, and it's only her second season. Reese has set the record for double-doubles and continues to add to her scoring skillset while dominating below the basket and leading the league in rebounds. She has also leveraged her skill on the court into countless brand deals across several industries. But she's also excelling in her role as big sister by giving Julian some much-needed game as he makes the jump from college to the pros. 'You've got to maximize it because you don't get these opportunities twice. I told him to show up first and make sure you're at the front of the line for drills,' she told reporters during a press conference. 'He doesn't have the opportunity to slack off. He has to maximize it and really push through and really show his all, because it's now or never. I think he has a really great opportunity, especially with the Lakers and what they need in the front court. I text him everyday… I'm really happy for him and proud of him.' There haven't been many brother-sister WNBA and NBA duos, in fact there are only three active ones in the leagues today and only six-ever. The Reese siblings have an opportunity to make big bucks in business deals by leveraging their family basketball story. The pair's mother was also a dominant collegiate athlete who, undoubtedly, passed down her love of the game to her talented children. Julian will have a chance to start proving himself during the NBA's annual Summer League games as the Lakers are set to take on several teams with top ranked rookies including the Utah Jazz, Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors. Reese will face-off against the No. 1 pick, Cooper Flagg, and will have the chance to suit up with his teammates Bronny James and Dalton Knecht, who will also be part of the Lakers' Summer League roster. What remains to be seen is whether or not Reese will play alongside NBA legend Lebron James when the next season commences. Rumors have been swirling that the future Hall of Famer could be headed out of Los Angeles in search of another Larry O'Brien trophy for his award case. If true, the elder James could be playing for his fourth team before his career ends. Nonetheless, we are excited to see Angel's courtside looks at Staples Center when she shows up to cheer on her baby brother!

No. 5 seed Michigan survives first-round scare from UC San Diego for 68-65 win in NCAA Tournament
DENVER — No. 5 seed Michigan proved a bit too much for No. 12 UC San Diego on Thursday night, overcoming Tyler McGhie's 25 points to escape with a 68-65 win in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. McGhie's 3-point attempt at the buzzer with 7-footer Danny Wolf in his face hit the back iron, and the Wolverines and their fans finally exhaled. Michigan advanced to face fourth-seeded Texas A&M in the South Region. The Aggies turned away Yale 80-71 at Ball Arena earlier in the evening. McGhie's bucket with 2 minutes, 29 seconds left gave the 12th-seeded Tritons their only lead at 65-63. Tre Donaldson, who was on the Auburn team that was upset by Yale in last year's NCAA Tournament, responded with a 3-pointer to restore Michigan's lead. Michigan center Vladislav Goldin, who picked up his fourth foul at the 8:25 mark, grabbed an offensive rebound and was fouled with 19.3 seconds left. He sank both for the final margin and finished with 14 points. The Tritons (30-5), who moved up from Division II in 2020, won the Big West regular-season and tournament titles and earned the conference's automatic NCAA Tournament bid in their first season of Division I eligibility. The Tritons brought the nation's longest winning streak into March Madness, having won 15 straight since their last loss on Jan. 18. But the Big Dance, the big stage, the bright lights — not to mention coach Dusty May's talented Wolverines (26-9), who made an unlikely run to the Big 10 Tournament title, looked like they would be too much for the Tritons. UC San Diego settled in, however, after a slow start and put a scare into Michigan. The Tritons didn't score for more than five minutes to start the game — they didn't even get a shot off for more than two minutes. Michigan reeled off the first 10 points before McGhie drove to the hoop and scored UC San Diego's first basket at the 14:55 mark. Goldin's three-point play with 1.8 seconds left sent Michigan into halftime with a 41-27 lead, and he opened the second half with a free throw for a 15-point cushion. He picked up his fourth foul at the 8:25 mark and wouldn't score again until the final seconds. The NCAA required UC San Diego to wait five years to be eligible for March Madness following its move to Division I. Coach Eric Olen built the team with help from the transfer portal by bringing in three D-II stars — guards Aniwaniwa Tait-Jones, McGhie and Hayden Gray. Tait-Jones averaged 19.5 points but was held to seven by Michigan. Remember him? Two years ago, Goldin was a key player on FAU's Final Four team. When Michigan fired coach Juwan Howard and hired May away from FAU a year ago, the new coach brought his old center with him to Ann Arbor. Together, they orchestrated the Wolverines' turnaround from an 8-24 campaign in Howard's final season to finish second in the Big Ten before dispatching Purdue, Maryland and Wisconsin in the conference tournament. Missed call Will Tschetter's 3-pointer that made it 59-49 shouldn't have counted because he was out of bounds when he caught the pass. The officials missed it.
