What the hosts said

MKentucky nearly just lost to a 30-point underdog at home.
LNearly. Alex Wilkins hit a go-ahead three with two seconds left. Seventy-eight, seventy-seven.
MESPN posted the clip. Northern Arizona had them on the ropes all night.
LAnd one reply claims it was actually a two, with his foot on the line.
MSo the highlight says three, but it's a long two? That's a big difference.
LDoesn't matter. Kentucky survives. But a 30-point underdog taking them to the final possession? That's a problem.
MIt's November. Teams are still figuring out rotations. I'm not panicking over one close game.
LI am! You're Kentucky. You don't need a buzzer-beater against Northern Arizona.
MThey won. That's what good teams do — find a way when they play bad.
LFine. But if they play like that in SEC play, they're getting run out of the gym.
MSpeaking of close calls, the NBA gave us a few highlights tonight.
LGiannis euro-stepped into a poster dunk. The Bucks posted it. That's the best one of the night.
MAmen Thompson had a block where his hand was above the rim. Houston's got a freak athlete.
LAnd Harden beat the first-half buzzer over multiple defenders. Cavs still lead at the break.
MHarden's still doing that at his age? Impressive.
LHe's a future Hall of Famer. The step-back is timeless.
MNow, a real story: Dejounte Murray wants out of New Orleans.
LESPN reports his agent Rich Paul and the Pelicans are working on a resolution.
MMurray's been there one full season. This is a bad look for the Pelicans.
LBad look? They traded for him to be a cornerstone. Now he wants out before the team even gets healthy.
MI get it from his side. He's in his prime. He doesn't want to waste years on a rebuild.
LIt's not a rebuild! They have Zion, they have pieces. He's quitting on them.
MZion's never on the court. You can't blame Murray for wanting a real shot.
LSo you sign a contract, then demand a trade when it gets hard? That's weak.
MIt's the NBA. Stars ask out all the time. The Pelicans should get value now instead of waiting.
LThey'll get pennies on the dollar. Everyone knows he wants out.
MMaybe. But keeping an unhappy star is worse. This is the league now.
LI hate it. But you're right about one thing — waiting doesn't fix an unhappy star.
MDifferent sport, bigger money: Jake Bauers just got paid.
LFour years, fifty-eight million from the Red Sox. After one career season with the Brewers.
MThat's the market for left-handed power. Boston needed a first baseman.
LFifty-eight million for a guy who was a journeyman two years ago. Baseball's gone crazy.
MHe earned it. Career year, and the Red Sox are betting on the swing changes.
LI hope it works. But that's a lot of money for one good season.
MAnd a serious one: Anthony Santander apologized for sharing anti-Muslim posts.
LESPN says the Blue Jays outfielder called it a mistake and said it fell short of his convictions.
MYou can't share that stuff. Period. He's right to apologize.
LThe question is whether the apology is enough. Fans and teammates have to live with it.
MHe owned it quickly. That matters. But it's a stain.
LNo argument here. Some things are bigger than baseball.
MAnd a tragic one from Spain: a goalkeeper got a 12-game ban for a collision that killed a player.
LJesús Owono of Andorra. The collision led to the death of Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel.
MTwelve games feels light for something that ended a life.
LIt was ruled an on-field collision, not intentional. But still — a man is gone.
MSoccer has to look at player safety. These collisions are getting more violent.
LIt's a horrible story. Thoughts with his family and teammates.
