Todd Fuhrman's picks from Vegas The Athletic's list of the best coaches in college football Bryan Passink talks Alabama Basketball The Alabama Crimson Tide is back in action today as they open their SEC Tournament campaign against the suddenly hot Ole Miss Rebels. Ole Miss Basketball beat the Texas Longhorns Wednesday night and the Georgia Bulldogs Thursday night to advance to Friday. For Alabama Basketball, it appears this game is to hole a three seed. Most bracket projections have the Crimson Tide on the three line but, how precarious is that? How different is this Alabama defense from the one that made the Final Four run just two years ago?

Bei der Wahl am Sonntag geht es in Südhessen nicht nur um neue Parlamente.In manchen Orten entscheiden die Bürger auch über konkrete Projekte. In Münster wird es den ersten Bürgerentscheid in der Geschichte der Gemeinde geben. Dasteht die geplante Lärmschutzwand an der Bahnstrecke zur Abstimmung. Viele Bürger sind dagegen, weil sie befürchten, dass die Wand den Ort zerschneidet. Auch in Bad König ist ein Bürgerentscheid geplant. Die Bürger sollen entscheiden, ob die Grundsteuer erhöht werden soll, damit Geld für den Umbau des Freibads da ist.Und auch in Darmstadt wird die Wahl spannend: Dort entscheidet sich möglicherweise, ob Oberbürgermeister Hanno Benz künftig eine politische Mehrheit im Stadtparlament bekommt.

Inside Carolina's senior reporter Greg Barnes and Tommy Ashley discuss the ACC and North Carolina's recent history in the league tournament. On Sunday's Coast to Coast podcast, Sherrell McMillan brought up an interesting point when discussing the often referenced Roy Williams point about the ACC Tournament being but a mere cocktail party and not as important as the NCAA Tournament.  Barnes and Ashley break down UNC's lack of success in the tournament in the past quarter century - Carolina has three titles since 2000 - and the lack of NCAA Tournament success on top of that - one Elite Eight and one Final Four since 2017 - has weakened the Tar Heel brand on the national landscape.  Has Carolina's standard dropped? What does that mean for the Heels over the next decade? Those questions will need to be answered soon enough. **Call to Action:** **Subscribe:** Follow 'Inside Carolina' wherever you get your podcasts to never miss an episode! **Review:** Leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to help us reach more Tar Heel fans! **Visit:** Explore http://www.InsideCarolina.com for breaking news, recruiting updates, and expert commentary on all things UNC sports.This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.

Post-Gazette Pitt insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable preview the Panthers' ACC tournament opener against Stanford on Tuesday and wonder how many games they'd need to win for coach Jeff Capel to keep his job. This show is presented by FanDuel. What can Pitt do differently this time around, after it lost 75-67 to Stanford on Feb. 25? How can the Panthers slow down freshman Ebuka Okorie, who scored 34 points in that first matchup? Who are some key players and matchups to watch? Is there any chance Pitt could make a deep run to save Capel's job, like NC State did a few years ago for Kevin Keatts with a run to the Final Four? How many games would Pitt have to win for Allen Greene to give Capel one more year? Our duo tackles those topics and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Shane Regan has built one of the most impressive Division III résumés in the country across two elite programs. After starring at Wesleyan University, where he helped lead the Cardinals to a 30-2 season, a Final Four run, and earned All-American honors, Regan has continued his dominance at the University of Chicago. His impact has been immediate, earning national recognition and landing on the Bevo Francis Watch List as one of the top small-college players in the nation. At Wesleyan, Regan developed into a dynamic, do-it-all guard, eclipsing 1,000 career points while establishing himself as one of the premier players in the NESCAC. Transitioning to Chicago for his graduate season, he expanded his game even further—becoming a focal point offensively while also showcasing his playmaking and leadership. His ability to seamlessly adapt between two high-level academic and basketball programs speaks to both his skill and basketball IQ. Now, with postseason aspirations in full swing, Regan is once again at the center of a championship-caliber team. University of Chicago is putting together one of the best seasons in program history, carrying significant momentum and high expectations into the NCAA Tournament. With Regan's experience, versatility, and leadership anchoring the group, the Maroons have positioned themselves as a legitimate contender with hopes of making a deep March run.

Would you let your head coach leave if it was a promise to make the Final Four, or would you rather a less successful run, and coach stays?

On February 21, 2026, the University of Arkansas honored Razorback legend Pat Foster during halftime of the Missouri game — an Arkansas native, former Hog standout, and assistant under Eddie Sutton who helped build the foundation of a national powerhouse in the 1970s. That rise paved the way for the recruitment and success of "The Triplets" — Sidney Moncrief, Ron Brewer, and Marvin Delph — and their unforgettable run to the 1978 Final Four. In this special Hog Pod episode, we look back on that monumental era through the voices of Frank Broyles, Ron Brewer, Sidney Moncrief, Joe Kleine, Jim Counce, Chuck Barrett, Rick Schaeffer, and Matt Zimmerman, from Part 1 of Hogs Plus' documentary, 100 Seasons of Arkansas Basketball.

Communicating with families is one of the areas where new teachers feel least confident, but it doesn't have to be. In this episode of New Teacher Talk, Dr. Beth and Dr. Anna use a March Madness basketball theme to explore what it really means to stay steady, focused, and prepared when it comes to parent communication. Drawing from their Parent Communication Guide (available as our Tuesday Teacher Resource on Instagram and BlueSky), they walk through the full spectrum of family conversations, from positive phone calls that build trust and establish meaningful relationships, to challenging conversations about academics, behavior, attendance, and social-emotional concerns. You'll hear specific language you can use right away, practical strategies for approaching difficult conversations with curiosity rather than judgment, and tips for keeping families engaged as true partners in student success. The episode wraps up with a look at documentation tools, including parent call logs and contact attempt logs, and why consistent record-keeping matters for both teachers and students. Whether you're just starting out or looking to strengthen your communication practices, this episode gives you a game plan you can use immediately.

Former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillespie for a wide-ranging conversation on the current state of Alabama football, the impact of the transfer portal and NIL, and whether Alabama is investing enough to stay on top in today's college sports landscape. The discussion opens with a look ahead to Alabama spring practice, including the players Coker is most excited to watch. He talks about both quarterbacks, highlights Jase McClellan as one of the most dynamic athletes on the offense, and explains why McClellan's loyalty to Alabama stands out in the NIL era. They also break down the biggest concern for the Tide heading into the season: the offensive line, where a lack of continuity could be a major issue. Mick and Jake also share memories from some of their favorite Alabama football games, including the LSU national championship win, the Rocky Stop against Tennessee, Alabama's title run with Coker, the 2009 SEC Championship Game, and the 1996 Iron Bowl. The conversation also revisits legendary Alabama defensive back George Teague and two of his most iconic football moments. Later, the show takes a strong turn into the changing economics of college athletics. Mick and Jake discuss how NIL, the transfer portal, and overall program spending are reshaping the future of college football. They debate whether Alabama must focus more of its financial resources on revenue-producing sports to avoid slipping behind the national elite. They also dive into Alabama basketball, with praise for Nate Oats and discussion about whether this team can make another deep postseason run. Plus, they touch on roster questions, March expectations, and how this year's group compares to Alabama's Final Four squad. If you're passionate about Alabama Crimson Tide football, SEC football, college football NIL, and the future of Alabama athletics, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.
