Paige Bueckers and co. brought UCONN’s women basketball to its first March Madness win in almost a decade. After tearful celebrations, Coach Geno Auriemma shared some choice words for the NCAA. Something to the tune of “you don’t care about student athletes”, especially the women.

The NBA hoped to get fans to care about the All Star Game this year and…it seriously backfired. After only 42 minutes of game time during the 3-hour broadcast, fans were left scratching their heads at the new format, the constant stoppages, and Kevin Hart’s (bad) jokes.
