NBA Lottery & March Madness expansion to 76 teams

The Washington Wizards won the rights to the #1 pick in the NBA Draft. AJ Dybantsa looks to be the top prospect, so he may find a home there. The Utah Jazz are right behind at #2 and would love to keep AJ in Utah. The lottery never disappoints with its drama. The Thunder and Knicks appear to be the best two teams in the league, so they may meet in the NBA finals. March Madness continued to expand, going from 68 teams to 76. I am not terribly enthusiastic about this because more teams will have to play play-in games. It’s going to deliver more money to the TV companies, and unfortunately, they are in control. At least more teams have a chance to make the field! In college football, coaches voted to expand to a 24-team playoff and remove conference championship games. I unpack the meaning of this and keep you updated in this episode! #byu Venmo: @gabethebabe008

BYU in the NFL Draft & Utah Mammoth in the playoffs!

Utah is experiencing playoff hockey at its finest. On Friday night, 20,000 avid hockey fans crowded into the Delta Center in downtown Salt Lake City to watch Utah’s very first postseason hockey game. It was a riot. They scored four goals within the first 30 minutes and went on to win 4-2. They do it again tonight, looking to go up 3-1 in the series against Las Vegas. Two BYU Football players heard their names called in the 2026 NFL draft: Jack Kelly to the Giants, and Carsen Ryan to the Browns. 6 other players signed as undrafted free agents, and 2 were invited to minicamps. They represented our football program well in Pittsburgh (where the draft was held). Listen to this episode for the latest insights into the sports world! #byu Venmo: @gabethebabe008

NHL & NBA Playoffs!

The Utah Mammoth are in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time in franchise history (granted, this is their second year), and they are facing the Vegas Golden Knights in round one. I talk about Logan Cooley and their exciting, ambitious team that I love watching. The NBA playoffs have begun, and to nobody’s surprise, the Thunder are once again the team to beat. BYU Men’s basketball is restocking and preparing for next year while the transfer portal is open. They signed Collin Chandler, Tyler Betsey, and Jake Wahlin! Rob Wright III announced he is returning — even after taking a recruiting trip to Kentucky. He chose the right shade of blue.

Michigan wins March Madness & The Masters

Michigan defeated UConn 69-63 to win it all! They cut down the nets in Indiana, the birthplace of basketball. They played like a championship team all season, so it was fitting that they won. Dusty May’s squad had the grit and heart to beat UConn in March Madness — Florida is the only other team to do it in the last four years. The Masters Tournament is on at Augusta National! It is the hottest ticket in American Sports. Rory McIlroy is leading with -12 heading into Saturday. If he were to win, he would be the fourth person ever to win back-to-back at the Masters. I give my prediction for who I think will win it and give my insights into the sports world! #byu Venmo: @gabethebabe008

March Madness Final Four is set!

March Madness was on the verge of becoming another fun tournament, but with no real magic. Then, Braylon Mullins happened. With Dan Hurley’s Huskies down 19, they had to dig deep. Beating Duke is a feat that only 3 have accomplished in the past year. This changed with Mullins. He got the ball off a Duke turnover, and with 2 seconds left, shot a logo 3 to give them the lead. It swished, and UConn had its one shining moment. Despite what many are saying, college sports still deliver fantastic games. Illinois, UConn, Michigan, and Arizona are the final four teams in the NCAA tournament! I preview these games and give my predictions. BYU baseball had back-to-back walk-off home runs against Oklahoma State! They also knocked off archrival Utah on the road. I talk about the upcoming Masters tournament in Golf and why it’s prestigious. Listen to this episode for insights into the sports world! #byu Venmo: @gabethebabe008
