NHL Highlights: Ducks 4, Golden Knights 3

“Yo habría superado los 100 puntos de Wilt Chamberlain, pero tuve una mala noche de tiro”

En Miami ha empezado una nueva era con la flamante llegada de Giannis Antetokounmpo, dejando atrás una temporada para olvidar en la que los Heat quedaron eliminados en el play-in tras dos eliminaciones en primera ronda de playoffs. Pero ni en Miami ni en la NBA olvidan la legendaria noche de 83 puntos de Bam Adebayo, que superó los 81 puntos de Kobe Bryant en 2006 como segunda mayor anotación de la historia por detrás de los 100 puntos de Wilt Chamberlain en 1962 con los Philadelphia Warriors, esa marca que permanece intocable.

Javi Torralba: “El Valencia Basket es Disneyland, tiene un ‘staff’ que intenta replicar a la WNBA”

Javier Torralba durante la entrevista con EL PAÍS este jueves.

Javier Torralba (Barcelona, 44 años) está a unas horas de vivir una pirueta insólita: debutar en la Liga Femenina y hacerlo con la etiqueta de gran favorito. Es lo que tiene sustituir a Rubén Burgos, el técnico que ganó 11 títulos con el Valencia Basket, el campeón en las últimas cuatro ediciones de una competición que arranca este sábado con equipos muy reforzados. “Va a ser la Liga más igualada de los últimos años”, asegura Torralba, que deja atrás el Segle XXI, un equipo de formación en el que fue el maestro de jugadoras como Elena Buenavida, Maite Cazorla, Helena Pueyo, Paula Ginzo, Laura Gil, Andrea Vilaró o la mismísima Iyana Martín, la sensación del último Mundial.

Wisconsin vs. Michigan State Prediction, Odds, Picks for College Football Week 5

The Wisconsin Badgers face the Michigan State Spartans on Saturday in a Week 5 college football matchup on BTN. The Badgers are 3-1 for the first time since 2023 after knocking off then-No. 13 Penn State. On the road at Beaver Stadium, head coach Luke Fickell’s team erased a 17-point deficit despite quarterback Colton Joseph throwing three interceptions. Wisconsin held Penn State to three points in the second half and scored the final 14 points of the game in the fourth quarter. Joseph connected with tight end Jacob Harris for a 72-yard touchdown to put the Badgers ahead with one minute remaining, and the defense shut the door on the Nittany Lions’ comeback hopes. Michigan State couldn’t pull off a similar comeback against Nebraska last week. The Spartans fell behind by 14 points early and never got closer than seven the rest of the way. For the second straight game, quarterback Alessio Milivojevic threw an interception and was sacked at least four times. He has been sacked 14 times this season, tied for the most in the country. After being picked to finish near the bottom of the Big Ten, the Spartans are already 0-1 in conference play, and the schedule only gets tougher from here.

Moneyline Spread Over/Under From FOX Sports Research: Over the last two games, Michigan State has been outscored 58-23, scoring just three touchdowns while allowing nine sacks and committing five turnovers. Through four games, the Spartans rank last in the Big Ten in total yards per game, passing yards per game and scoring. It hasn’t been the offensive start head coach Pat Fitzgerald hoped for. Michigan State’s defense sits around the middle of the pack in the major categories, but that unit can only keep the Spartans in games for so long. Wisconsin is riding high after its highest-ranked upset since 2021, but the Badgers have struggled offensively, too. They rank in the bottom half of the conference in every major offensive category, while their defense also sits around the middle of the pack. The gap between Wisconsin’s 3-1 record and Michigan State’s 2-2 mark comes down to a few key plays that have gone the Badgers way. With both offenses struggling and defenses capable of holding their ground, expect a low-scoring matchup. Take the under at 43.5. How to Watch Michigan State vs. Nebraska
