[ad_1] Keytron Jordan, CBS Sports North Carolina spent last season becoming the first preseason No. 1 in the history of the AP Top 25 poll to miss the NCAA Tournament. It was rough.

[ad_1] Getty Images A 16.5-point favorite should never be down double-digits at home (or anywhere else, for that matter). So Thursday wasn’t as simple for Purdue as it should’ve been; even coach Matt Painter would tell you as much. Either way, let the record show that the Boilermakers eventually rallied to avoid what would’ve been…
[ad_1] Naomi Osaka had a pretty brutal draw in Melbourne, and it’s the same for her at the upcoming Abu Dhabi Open. The Japanese player would have preferred her comeback to be as smooth as possible, but of course, that’s not realistic.
