Coming off the biggest comeback in school history, Stanford is looking for its first home victory — and consecutive wins — of the season when it faces UCLA on Saturday night at Stanford Stadium (7:30 p.m., ESPN).The Cardinal (2-4, 1-3 Pac-12) was the talk of the college football world after overcoming a 29-0 halftime deficit at Colorado to win 46-43 in double overtime last Friday night. But coach Troy Taylor said he hasn’t noticed a difference during practice this week.“Our guys have been the same,” Taylor said. “That’s been their strength, really. Every day they come in, they bring the same energy and the same focus. So I haven’t seen any difference, and that’s one of the things that I admire the most about them is they’re just always the same guys and giving the same effort and the same intensity.”That same attitude – never too low, never too high – allowed them to pull off the fourth-largest comeback win in Pac-12 history, and the largest halft...

Cavaliers have Mitchell, young core looking to build on promising season ended by playoff failure

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:39:11 GMT

CLEVELAND CAVALIERSLast season: 51-31, reached Eastern Conference playoffs, lost to New York Knicks in first round.Coach: J.B. Bickerstaff (fifth season with Cavaliers, 122-125; ninth season overall, 207-256).What to expect: All-Star Donovan Mitchell’s arrival accelerated the Cavs’ rebuild and pushed them back into the postseason for the first time since 2018, when LeBron James headed to California. The good vibes didn’t last, however, as the Cavs were bullied by the Knicks, who exposed Cleveland’s biggest weaknesses — physicality, outside shooting and depth. The Cavs spent the summer stewing over the early exit while making plans to stop it from happening again. Entering his third season, forward Evan Mobley invested in a home gym and nutrition plan to add some needed muscle to his slender, 6-foot-11 frame. Mobley’s defensive game is on point. What the Cavs need is more offense (Mobley averaged 16.2 points) from the still-improving and still-growing 22...
