An old sports gambling adage states the following: “Good teams win, great teams cover.” While the sports betting craze has yet to make its way to Division III Women’s Soccer, the Washington University Bears would have certainly covered the spread this weekend.

May is the best time of year for an NBA fan, with the playoffs entering full swing. It seems as if nearly every night, a number of the game’s biggest stars are decking it out on the National stage. Here are four takeaways from all of the NBA.

The Washington University baseball team was looking for revenge as it prepared for last weekend’s series against Emory. Last season, the team was swept by the UAA champions, but this year the Bears have been like a completely different team. As the squad headed off to Atlanta to face the first-place Eagles, spirits were high — on the field, everything was clicking.

The team went up against ROTC programs with more than 30 times their number of cadets. Mounting a Cinderella run to the championship, they defeated the Fighting Irish on their home court.

The Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA) announces its selections for the Baseball Hall of Fame. One staff writer gives his picks for the ballot.
