Expert picks & predictions for Villanova at Georgetown
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) got the Wildcats at a good number: Villanova -3.5 (-110)
'Villanova has wins over St. John's, Marquette, and UConn in the conference and Eric Dixon is a stud. This is a veteran team that has five seniors starting and is the 17th-most experienced team in the country, but all of that gets a little murkier if they get swept by Georgetown. The Hoyas won by one point in the first meeting at Nova and NEVER led by more than two points in that game, yet they won. You don't let something like that happen again. I like Villanova to win the game and cover the -3.5.'

Saniyah Hall, No. 1 recruit in 2026, commits to USC
Saniyah Hall, considered the No. 1 prospect in the women's basketball Class of 2026, committed to Southern California on Friday. "I would say it felt like home," Hall said in her announcement on ESPN. "The girls there are so fun to be around. The coaches ... have high support, but (head coach Lindsay Gottlieb) is definitely there to just support me and I've built a relationship with her -- she's a great coach." The commitment means the Trojans have signed three of the past four players ranked No. 1 in the country by ESPNW, following JuJu Watkins (2023) and Jasmine "Jazzy" Davidson (2025). Hall chose USC over rival UCLA and North Carolina. Hall is listed at 6-foot-2 and can play guard or forward. A native of Lorain, Ohio, she transferred from Florida's Montverde Academy to SPIRE Academy in Ohio for her senior year of high school. She was named MVP at the FIBA U19 Women's World Cup this summer, where she played alongside Davidson on Team USA as they won gold. Hall averaged 19.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.9 steals in the tournament. Gottlieb has led USC to No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament in consecutive years. The Trojans fell in the Elite Eight both times. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2023 - All Rights Reserved

Top 25 Kentucky football players this century: Number 16
The countdown of the top 25 Kentucky football players of this century continues on. Number 17 was former Wildcats safety Mike Edwards, who went on to become a Super Bowl champion. Up next, at number 16 is former Kentucky linebacker Micah Johnson. Johnson was one of the nation's top linebacker recruits out of high school, and chose the Wildcats over some major programs. He broke into the rotation immediately, playing in all 13 games as a Freshman, gaining All-Freshman honors, then seeing an increase in playing time as a Sophomore, showing just what he could do. In his third season in Lexington, he broke out in a big way. He totaled 93 tackles, including 13 for a loss. He also had 2.5 sacks and forced a fumble earning a first-team All-SEC nod. As a Senior, Johnson was terrific once again, and was a second-team All-SEC player. He recorded 105 tackles with one sack and seven tackles for a loss. Johnson was an integral piece to Kentucky's defense during his time there. He was a two-time All-SEC performer who, though he didn't find NFL success, was one of the great Wildcats linebackers.
