On this day in sports history, April 8th, 2019: Virginia defeated Texas Tech 85-77 in overtime to win the national championship
It was the first national title in program history for Virginia, completing one of the most remarkable turnarounds ever just one year after becoming the first 1-seed to lose to a 16-seed
De’Andre Hunter led the way with 27 points in the title game
It’s one of only 8 games in NCAA men’s basketball championship history to go to overtime

UVA named the court at JPJ after former coach Tony Bennett on Saturday.
“My heart is full. I’m overwhelmed by this. I pray that this program and how we did it was a bright light for all of you.”

2 games in a row where shitty @espn color commentators are calling UVA games. Unnecessary digs at the Wahoos. I don’t get it. If UVA does something good, why insinuate they’re lucky?? Listen to the 1st half sequence with 2-3 minutes left. #amateur
What does @JonCrispinESPN have against UVA?? His commentating is as biased as it is boring. Keep talking about animated coaches in a game where both coaches have remained calm.
Catherine O'Hara, who starred in legendary films "Beetlejuice" and "Home Alone" before taking a star turn as Moira Rose on "Schitt's Creek," has died. She was 71.

there is an ongoing partial outage for Apple TV services right now.
According to Apple's official system status page (updated as of 9:34 PM EST on January 20, 2026), both Apple TV and Apple TV Channels are experiencing outages (marked in red) that started around 6:48 PM EST today. Some users are affected with intermittent issues, and there may be problems accessing services, stores, or making purchases.
DownDetector currently reports "No problems" overall for Apple TV, but recent user comments mention connection errors (like "check internet connection") and playback issues on devices such as Xbox, Samsung TVs, LG TVs, Roku, PS5, and Nvidia Shield—possibly related to high demand.
There are no widespread news reports or a flood of recent complaints on X about a total outage today, which suggests this is affecting only some users rather than everyone. If you're experiencing problems, it could be related to this incident—try restarting your device/app or checking back later.
