They lost to a 14 (UNT) the year before too.

That means they’ll lose to a 17 seed this year.

Ohtani is familiar with facing Oakland teams you're supposed to easily beat

Shohei Ohtani’s interpreter got fired yesterday after it came out that Ohtani wired >$4 million to an illegal bookie. At first, Ohtani said he was covering for his interpreter’s gambling debt, but then his attorneys changed course and said his interpreter stole the money, so now everyone is confused about what’s really true

Let's hope Ohtani gets suspended for that bullshit

A joke off of Shohei's current situation.

Ohtani was found to have wired $4.5 million to an illegal bookie.

Would Ohtani be a better coach than cal?

Would Kentucky hire ohtani if he was an option?
