LONDON — A year ago Ange Postecoglu could do no wrong around these parts, but even the most bought in of Tottenham supporters would surely have raised a quizzical eye at the sight of James Maddison departing midway through a match where his side were seeing plenty of the ball, but struggling to break through.

National championship-winning Virginia men’s basketball coach Tony Bennett is retiring from the sport effectively immediately. That gobsmacking news landed Thursday with just 20 days separating the Cavs and their season opener against Campbell on Nov. 6. It was announced at Bennett’s press conference Friday that current Cavaliers assistant coach Ron Sanchez, who left his job […]

USATSI No. 13 BYU held off an upset bid from Oklahoma State with a dramatic 38-35 win on Friday. Cougars quarterback Jake Retzlaff connected with Darius Lassiter for a 35-yard touchdown with 11 seconds remaining for the game-winning score. Oklahoma State quarterback Alan Bowman found Brennan Presley for a 6-yard touchdown to give the Cowboys […]

The Premier League returns from the international break on Saturday with Arsenal’s trip to Bournemouth rounding off day one of the action in what should be an intriguing clash.

The Week 7 NFL schedule will feature a Monday Night Football doubleheader and the third and final London game of the season. We’ll also see a rematch of Super Bowls 54 and 58 when the San Francisco 49ers host the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City is coming off a bye week and San Francisco is […]

Manchester United hope to snap a five game winless run on Saturday, when they face Brentford at Old Trafford. The hosts have just eight points from seven Premier League games and sit in 14th, three spots below Brentford. The Bees are not necessarily in top form either with 10 points, but they snapped a three […]
