Best bets in the South Region of the 2022 NCAA Men’s Tournament

Who prevails in a potential matchup between Tennessee and Villanova?

It remains to be seen how healthy Arizona will be for the start of the 2022 NCAA Tournament, as the Wildcats manage the ankle injury to starting point guard Kerr Kriisa. But there’s no denying that the top seed in the South Region still remains a heavy favorite to go on a deep run regardless of the news there.

The bigger question marks are lower seeded teams like No. 11 Michigan and whether the Wolverines can knock off No. 6 Colorado State. Or what happens between No. 8 Seton Hall and No. 9 TCU. Or better yet, will Tennessee’s snub as a No. 2 seed come back to bite it in a potential matchup against No. 2 Villanova.

The South Region has some enticing matchups but only a few teams truly inspire confidence in their ability to go deep.

Here’s a look at the best bets in the South Region, with odds via Tipico Sportsbook.

10 defensive linemen for the Eagles to watch at the 2022 Senior Bowl

10 defensive linemen for the #Eagles to watch at the 2022 #SeniorBowl #TheDraftStartsInMOBILE Howie #Roseman Nick #Sirianni

We’re less than 100-days from the start of the 2022 NFL draft and with Philadelphia owning three first-round picks, Howie Roseman will need to increase the normal due diligence done on eligible prospects.

The draft actually starts in Mobile, Alabama, where the start of senior bowl practices will kick off on Tuesday, February 1.

With Roseman and head coach Nick Sirianni both in Mobile for Senior Bowl practices, we’re profiling the position groups for both teams, while also breaking down several players at each group for Philadelphia to watch.

The next group to watch will be the senior bowl defensive linemen.

5 college basketball teams that could go undefeated the rest of the regular season

College basketball’s final two undefeated men’s teams both lost on Tuesday. It’s time to project who could go unbeaten the rest of the regular season.

Tuesday was an eventful day in men’s college basketball. The chaos began early when the No. 5 USC Trojans, a day removed from their first top-5 ranking since 1974, unexpectedly fell in a matinee at unranked Stanford.

It got crazier. No. 9 Kansas and No. 15 Iowa State exchanged potential game-winning shots down the stretch until the Jayhawks made one final stand to avoid a second-straight loss, which occured right after No.1 Baylor suffered its first loss of the season — a 65-62 home loss to No. 19 Texas Tech.

With Tuesday’s USC and Baylor losses, there are no more undefeated teams remaining. However, that doesn’t mean new streaks can’t begin. Let’s reset the table and project which schools could have a shot at going unbeaten throughout the rest of the regular season.

Penn State’s complete bowl game history

Here is the final score of every bowl game played by Penn State in program history.

After opting to stay home from the college football bowl season in an odd 2020 season, Penn State is heading back to a bowl game to wrap up the 2021 season. The Nittany Lions will play in the Outback Bowl, where they will face the Arkansas Razorbacks in the first meeting between the two schools on January 1, 2022. Penn State will also be looking to win their second consecutive bowl game and snap a three-game losing streak in bowl games to SEC teams.

The 2022 Outback Bowl will be the 51st bowl game in Penn State program history, and it will be the fifth time the Nittany Lions have appeared in the Outback Bowl. Penn State is 3-1 all-time in the Outback Bowl and is 30-18-2 all-time in postseason bowl games. The highlights of those bowl victories are two national championship victories in the 1983 Sugar Bowl against Georgia and the 1987 Fiesta Bowl against heavily-favored Miami.

Here is a complete list of every Penn State bowl game in program history including the 2022 Outback Bowl against Arkansas.
