Damn. Great run OSU. Tough going out on a walk-off sac fly.
Louisville has eliminated Oregon State 7-6, on a walkoff. That was one helluva baseball game. Cardinals survive, have to win 2 games against Coastal Carolina to advance to championship series. https://t.co/Sh84de1rDe
Toronto went hard after Lillard in 2023 but his camp said they weren’t interested so Toronto backed off. I’d imagine Durant will do the same if he truly wants to land where he can win. And if Minnesota isn’t on his list, then he should change that.
