SOURCE: The Charlotte 49ers took down the UConn Huskies 68-61 in a secret exhibition between Dan Hurleys latest Uconn squad, and Wes Miller’s first roster at Charlotte.

Redshirt Sophmore Jayden Fort led the 49ers with 26 points.

Just a scrimmage, but a surprising outcome.

This is only October.

MLB has proposed returning to a 154-game Regular Season, best-of-seven Division Series, and opponent selection in the Wild Card and Division Series

Starting in 2029, shortening the season to a 154-game schedule would create a standard weekly off day benefiting player health, and it would allow the addition of up to 8 more Postseason games by moving to a best-of-seven Division Series format

Beginning in 2027, higher-seeded clubs in the Wild Card and Division Series would select their opponents
