Not sure how 3 licensed NBA officials missed this…inexcusable.
OG with a clear double dribble the refs miss

Michigan #3 Cadeau carries the ball every time he dribbles. Love to see it called but realize rules are “suggestions” these days.

Great theater in KY win…but this is accurate below…in addition to ignoring Santa Clara timeout call
Oweh caught it and took a full dribble before the clock started running and then “got the shot off” with a couple tenths of a second left. Santa Clara got robbed by the clock operator. Completely illegitimate win by Kentucky

With Tua headed to ATL…that gives them two lefties at QB (Penix, Jr) on same team…don’t ever recall that happening in NFL before. Anyone @NFLfootballinfo ? @AdamSchefter ?

Tonight was Purdue’s 17th Top 15 game since the start of 2023-24. The Boilers are now 12-5 (.706) in such games. 58 D-I MBB teams have played 10 Top 15 games in that same span. Purdue is the ONLY team with a win percentage of 70% or better. Beat the best.

2025 NFL season Playoff teams and Seeds look very similar to 2013 season... In 2025 we have #1 DEN vs #2 NE....and #1 SEA vs #5 LAR (same division). 2013 AFC Championship saw #1 seed DENVER host #2 seed NEW ENGLAND...in Manning/Brady Bowl XV....with DEN winning 26-16 behind Manning's 400-yard passing performance. The 2013 NFC Championship had #1 seed SEATTLE hosting #5 seed SAN FRANCISCO (wild card from same division)...with SEA winning 23-17 with late interception by eventual SB MVP Malcolm Smith. Curious to see how 2025 playoffs turn out this weekend!

Crazy stat
Caleb Williams' 14-yard game-tying touchdown pass to Cole Kmet traveled 51.2 yards in the air, the longest completed pass by air distance in the red zone in the NGS era (since 2016). 🔹 Completion Probability: 17.8% #LARvsCHI | #DaBears

Heading into Divisional Weekend, we have both conferences with the exact same surviving seeds (1,2,5,6). Since the League went to 6 playoff seeds per conference in 1990 (added 7th in 2020), we have NEVER had a 5 vs 6 Conference Championship Game. 5 and 6 seeds have made significant appearances though with: * PIT in 2005 being the first 6 seed in a conf champ game and going on to win the SB that year. * NYG won the SB in the 2007 season as 5 seed beating undefeated NE that year * GB won in 2010 as the 6 seed with Aaron Rodgers beating his future PIT team * TB won in 2020 as the 5 seed with Tom Brady at the helm. * In 2021, we had our only 4 (LAR) vs 6 (SF) Conf Champ Game...where the 4 seed LAR went on to beat 4 seed CIN in the Super Bowl. @AdamSchefter @miketirico @ProFootballTalk @wingoz

Here is the official Divisional Playoff Weekend schedule … both conferences have the same Seeds remaining AFC: 1 DEN vs 6 BUF 2 NE vs 5 HOU NFC: 1 SEA vs 6 SF 2 CHI vs 5 LAR
After a weekend of great Wild Card games, we are left with the following matchups for the Divisional Playoff Round: Saturday, Jan. 17 4:30 or 8:00 p.m. ET Buffalo Bills at Denver Broncos (Network TBD) 4:30 or 8:00 p.m. ET San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks (Network TBD) Sunday, Jan. 18 3:00 or 6:30 p.m. ET Los Angeles Rams at Chicago Bears (Network TBD) 3:00 or 6:30 p.m. ET Pittsburgh/Houston at New England Patriots (Network TBD) Both #1 seeds with a bye will host on Saturday, Jan. 17. #1 seeds have hosted on Saturday every year since 2021 (Note: The NFL went to 7 playoff teams and one byed team per conference in 2020...#1 KC hosted on Sunday that Covid-impacted year). Both #6 seeds won on Wild Card weekend this year, first time since 2020 (CLE and LAR). That same 2020 season, both #5 seeds won as well (BAL and TB), which can be matched this year if HOU beats PIT Monday night. Exact times and networks will be announced when the PIT/HOU winner is determined on Monday night.

Seriously? Way too many early fully uninformed takes
The Panthers had a losing record and are clearly just outclassed today. Some are asking whether it makes sense to continue “wasting” Playoff bids on winners of weak conferences.
