Former Wisconsin basketball center adds to his list of NBA workouts
Former Wisconsin basketball center adds to his list of NBA workouts Former Wisconsin Badgers center Steven Crowl is compiling a long list of NBA workouts. Crowl, whose Badgers tenure concluded with an NCAA Tournament Round of 32 loss to BYU in late March, has reportedly worked out with the Golden State Warriors, New Orleans Pelicans, Charlotte Hornets and Denver Nuggets over the past few weeks. The 7-foot center's most recent workout came with the Pelicans on Thursday, per The Athletic's Will Guillory. Crowl worked out alongside North Carolina's R.J. Davis, Arkansas' Johnell Davis and Kansas' Hunter Dickinson. Earlier this week, the Hornets worked out former Badger Chucky Hepburn alongside Crowl, per Hornets beat writer Rod Boone. The two spent three seasons in Madison together from 2021-24. Crowl isn't the only former Badger to dip his toes into NBA waters this offseason. Star guard John Blackwell worked out with the Chicago Bulls, Milwaukee Bucks, Portland Trailblazers and Philadelphia 76ers before withdrawing from the 2025 NBA draft in late May. The Minnesota native started 141 of his 153 career appearances in five seasons from 2020-25. In those contests, the veteran averaged 9.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and two assists off a 52.5% shooting rate from the field, 36.3% mark from 3 and 82% clip from the charity stripe. During Wisconsin's 27-10 output this past season, Crowl started all 37 games and logged per-game averages of 9.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists. He did so while shooting 54% from the field, a strong 41% from 3 and 82% from the free-throw line. At his size, Crowl's shooting ability is an unquestionable commodity in the NBA. Given modern spacing and skill at the center position, the former Badger's progression as a shooter, especially from the top of the key, headlines his potential professional portfolio. Nonetheless, Crowl's odds of being picked in the 2025 NBA draft or signing with an NBA franchise are slim. The workouts will expose him to some NBA personnel, but his most likely route revolves around a career oversees.

St. John's Makes Exciting Rick Pitino Announcement on Wednesday
The St. John's Red Storm had an outstanding season, capturing both the Big East regular season and conference tournament titles. With a remarkable 31-5 overall record and an impressive 18-2 mark against Big East opponents, they proved to be one of the top teams in the country. A major factor in their success has been the hire of legendary head coach Rick Pitino, who took the reins two seasons ago with the task of rejuvenating a program that had been struggling. And that's exactly what he's done. Advertisement On Wednesday, St. John's made an exciting announcement, revealing that their 72-year-old head coach had been named the "Looie" Men's Division I Coach of the Year. Pitino is the only coach in college basketball history to have led six different programs to the NCAA Tournament, and he has now transformed St. John's into one of the most intriguing programs moving forward. After a tough loss to Arkansas in the NCAA Tournament Round of 32, the focus has shifted to the offseason. With the changes in college sports due to NIL and the transfer portal, Pitino has adapted remarkably well. St. John's Red Storm head coach Rick Penner-Imagn Images St. John's needed to replace key contributors like RJ Luis Jr., Kadary Richmond, and Deivon Smith, all of whom were vital to the team's success this past season. However, they've not only filled those gaps but have gone above and beyond. Advertisement Pitino has landed former five-star prospects Ian Jackson and Joson Sanon, along with Bryce Hopkins, Oziyah Sellers, and most recently, Dillon Mitchell. Plus, star center Zuby Ejiofor will be back in New York as well. Related: Rick Pitino Sounds off on RJ Luis Jr. Entering Transfer Portal, NBA Draft

2025 March Madness Bad Beats: Last-second 3 in Florida-UConn cashes Over
It was the 3-pointer heard 'round the betting world. Defending champion UConn faced off with 1-seed Florida in the NCAA Tournament Round of 32 on Sunday, and it was a slobberknocker, start to finish. In the end, Florida emerged with a 77-75 win — but that doesn't complete the story. With the Gators leading 77-72, after two made free throws by sophomore forward Thomas Haugh, the win was essentially sealed for Florida, as only five seconds remained on the clock. However, UConn didn't stop playing. The Huskies pushed the ball upcourt before freshman forward Liam McNeeley took a deep 3 as time expired. Cash. Final score: 77-75. Can you guess what the Over/Under total was for the game? If you guessed 150.5, you were correct. That final 3 brought the total to 152, creating a win for Over bettors and a heartbreaking loss for those that took the Under. In fact, with just 11 seconds to go, Florida led 74-68, a total of 142 points. But over the course of those final 11 seconds, the two teams combined to score 10 points to bring the total to 152. Adding further insult to Over bettors, McNeeley was 1-for-7 from 3 prior to that long connection. He finished the game 2-for-8 from distance. Better luck next round, Over bettors.
