Jalen Pickett led the entire league in defensive field goal percentage at 38.6% (min. 200 FGs).

Opponents shot 7% worse than expected against Pickett.

This moment postgame from Fordham HC Keith Urgo is a perfect example of why all his players speak so highly of him.

“I want to apologize to the seniors. We had enough talent to be really successful this year, and I failed them…I feel bad that they didn’t get to experience what we believed we could’ve. That’s on me — I didn’t do a good enough job with this team.”

It’s no secret this season didn’t go the way they hoped, and there are adjustments this staff needs to make. But that’s the accountability I want to see if I’m a Fordham fan.

My two cents — you can make changes to your system/gameplan. But it’s hard to replicate the passion and commitment that Keith Urgo has for this program.

Eagles are rewarding Saquon Barkley with a two-year, $41.2 million contract extension that makes him the highest-paid running back in NFL history, per sources. The deal makes Barkley the NFL’s first $20 million+ per-year running back. Barkley also has the ability to earn an additional $15 million in incentives and escalators. The deal includes $36 million fully guaranteed at signing.

The Eagles are taking the rare step of extending Barkley one year into his three-year deal - and in the same league year in which they signed him to the initial contract.

Penn State passes UNC today to become dead-last 364th in our Momentum metric. The Nittany Lions are 1-10 over their last 11 games after starting the year 12-2. They've logged negative double-digit game efficiency scores in four straight games, including a -30.2 vs. USC Tuesday.

Jalen Pickett with a "Nash dribble" into the layup

What a performance

[Matt Brooks @MattBrooksNBA]

Jalen Pickett always seems to be in the right place defensively

[Matt Brooks @MattBrooksNBA]

Jalen Pickett picks off his Sharpe from behind and then lobs it up perfectly to Zeke Nnaji

What a start to this game he's having!

[Matt Brooks @MattBrooksNBA]

Sick pass from Jalen Pickett. Continue to be super impressed by him

We prefer hoops.

But we’ve spent a significant amount of time over the last ten years on the edge of our seats, wondering if Saquon would take his next carry to the house.

Every time he’s on the field.

Time well spent, and well rewarded

[Penn State Football @PennStateFball]

Saquon Barkley. Unbelievable.
