Keaton Wagler? Kingston Flemings?
Here are 8 names to know during March as the Bulls prepare for a pivotal NBA draft.
No. 20 Miami (Ohio) brings a 31-0 record into the MAC Tournament after becoming only the 3rd school to run the table in the league. The tournament’s top seed plays No. 8 seed UMass in the opening game Thursday.
The RedHawks might just need to win it. And keep winning.

Starter Shane Smith and Bobby Hearn were teammates at Wake Forest. The two have reunited, with Hearn the new assistant pitching coach for the Chicago White Sox.

Cubs reliever Porter Hodge will start the season on the injured list because of a flexor tendon strain. He is shut down from throwing for a couple of weeks.
Left-hander Jordan Wicks is also on the IL due to radial nerve irritation and expected to throw off a mound in mid-to-late March.
Michigan coach Dusty May built the Big Ten Tournament's No. 1 seeded-team with a lineup filled with the nation's top transfer talent.
Here’s what to know as action gets underway, including Illinois' outlook and players to watch.
There’s little doubt that UConn and UCLA will be the top 2 seeds in the women’s NCAA Tournament.
But there’s an argument to be made that the Bruins should be in the conversation for the top overall seed, especially after an eye-popping 51-point win in the Big Ten title game.
For 4 years, Nick Martinelli called Northwestern home, rising from a freshman reserve on the first of back-to-back NCAA Tournament teams in 2023 to become one of the best scorers in program history.
It’s a career arc that is becoming rarer in the transfer-portal era.

Illinois’ Keaton Wagler was named Freshman of the Year by both the coaches and media as the Big Ten announced its postseason honors.
Big contracts for linemen highlighted the opening of the NFL shopping season.
But the Bears can still get better there in the draft.

Cornerback Nahshon Wright will sign a one-year, $5.5 million max contract with the Jets after posting a career season on a one-year, prove-it deal with the Bears.

A social media video from the White House interspersing MLB and NFL highlights with bombs falling is another embarrassment for Commissioners Rob Manfred and Roger Goodell.

"It's crazy valuable."
The Cubs know they again could have some roster churn among their relievers, so development of options from within the organization will be important in the coming months.
NFL draft notes from @colleenkane.bsky.social:
- Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza on having Tom Brady as a mentor
- Illinois QB Luke Altmyer touts reasons he will succeed
- Notre Dame's Malachi Fields wants a re-run on his 40-yard dash
Shane Smith was still processing the news shortly after being named the 2026 opening-day starter for the White Sox.
"18 months can change a lot of things in life."
Last year at this time, Smith — a Rule 5 draft selection — was competing for a roster spot.
The White Sox reassigned pitchers Ben Peoples and Tyler Schweitzer to minor-league camp.
With the moves, the Sox have 50 players remaining in camp: 24 pitchers, five catchers, 10 infielders and 11 outfielders.
Assisted by a glittering, pink soccer ball, Lionel Messi crossed yet another frontier with his visit to the White House.
The Bears did not receive compensatory picks in next month's NFL draft after former assistant general manager Ian Cunningham’s exit from Halas Hall.
The team had hoped it might be awarded picks per the Rooney Rule.
The White Sox are sorting through their pitching options with the March 26 season opener less than three weeks away.
Here’s how the 26-man roster could stack up.
The Bears are expected to sign wide receiver/returner Kalif Raymond — who worked with Ben Johnson and Antwaan Randle-El in Detroit — to a reported one-year, $5.1 million deal.
Tracking the team's moves in free agency.
Frank Nazar continued his hot streak by scoring the game-winning goal in overtime, lifting the Hawks past the Mammoth, 3-2.
The teams will play in Salt Lake City on Thursday, where the Hawks will look for the season sweep of Utah.

For teams in the bottom quadrant of the league, the most important basketball being played this month is happening elsewhere in a college tournament.
March will help determine the fates of dozens of star college players — and the future of teams such as the Bulls.
Australia granted asylum to five members of the Iranian women’s soccer team who were visiting the country for a tournament when the Iran war began, a government minister said.
Troy Murray’s No. 19 represented the epitome of what it was to be a Chicago Blackhawk.
Flip that number around, and it’s the future of the franchise.
Frank Nazar scored the game winner in overtime, a perfect end to a night that belonged to Murray. ⬇️

White Sox nonroster invitee Jarred Kelenic has had some positive results recently, but the Waukesha, Wis., native knows there's more than one way to dissect an at-bat.
"I’ve hit a lot of balls hard in play that have been outs. I take those just as much as I take the balls hit in the gap."
With comp picks out, the NFL released the full draft order. These are the Bears' 2026 draft picks (once trades are made official Wednesday):
1st: 25 overall
2nd: 57
2nd: 60 (from BUF)
3rd: 89
4th: 129 (from LAR)
7th: 239 (from PHI via CLE and JAX)
7th: 241
Let’s be honest: for the Bulls, some of the most important basketball being played in March is taking place in college tourneys far from Chicago.
