Cavs Target Rebounding Edge, Big-Man Power to Beat Knicks in ECF

Cleveland aims to win the Eastern Conference Finals by controlling the possession game: they lead in offensive rebounding among playoff teams and can pressure New York with a dominant frontcourt of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley, while guards feed the bigs and contest blitzes. Donovan Mitchell must balance scoring with smart, on‑the‑fly playmaking to keep the offense flowing. If Mitchell stays patient and the Cavs’ interior attack stays aggressive, Cleveland can counter New York’s rim protection and push for a Finals appearance.

Allen's Game 7 Masterclass Sparks Cavs' New Playoff Narrative

Jarrett Allen dominated on both ends in a 114-102 Game 7 win over the Raptors, finishing with 22 points (7-8 in the restricted area), 19 rebounds, three blocks and two steals to anchor a stifling defense (101.4 rating). His effort helped Cleveland flip the narrative after previous postseason missteps and signals a potential deep playoff run, supported by improved possession discipline and resilience from the entire team.

Wolf Pack aim to slow Liberty in key NIT showdown

Nevada hosts Liberty in the NIT second round and faces three keys to victory: defend with 30-second shot-clock discipline to slow Liberty’s efficient offense, dominate the boards given Liberty’s undersized starting lineup, and knock down open threes to exploit weaknesses on Liberty’s defense. Coming off a 73‑63 win over Murray State, Nevada is the favorite to advance, with a projected 74‑69 score line.

Gators grind Kentucky on the glass to close SEC tourney bid

Florida beat Kentucky 71-63 in the SEC Tournament, riding a dominant 50-29 rebounding edge (18 offensive boards) to fuel 21 second-chance points while Kentucky’s offense sputtered (12-for-41 overall, 5-for-23 from three) despite a competitive defensive effort. UK’s combined 34 points on 10-for-39 shooting underscored the gap, with Florida’s Alex Condon leading with 22 points and Xaivian Lee adding 11 as the Gators clinched the season sweep.

Veesaar: UNC's second-half effort 'outworked' in Duke loss

UNC collapsed in the second half against Duke, surrendering a 30-6 run after a competitive first half. The Tar Heels committed 14 turnovers and were dominated on the boards (Duke with 18 offensive rebounds to UNC's 5), leading Henri Veesaar to bluntly say they were outworked. With Caleb Wilson sidelined for the season, UNC faces a tougher path into the NCAA Tournament unless they address effort and rebounding."

Gators Harness Brutal Rebounding to Fuel a Back-to-Back Title Run

After a rough 9–5 start and a shaky SEC opener, Florida has surged by leaning into size, physicality and elite offensive rebounding to create extra possessions, turning imperfect shooting into consistent wins and positioning the Gators for a potential repeat as national champions behind key contributions from Chinyelu, Condon and Haugh and improved turnover control.

USC tops Indiana with rebounding edge and free-throw advantage as Arenas shines

Indiana’s three-game win streak ended at USC as the Trojans overwhelmed the Hoosiers on the boards (11 offensive rebounds for 15 second-chance points) and controlled the foul line (USC 25-for-31). Indiana shot just 28.6% from three (10-for-35) and couldn’t close a halftime gap. Lamar Wilkerson scored 33 for IU, but USC freshman Alijah Arenas stepped up with 29 after Chad Baker-Mazara’s injury, helping the Trojans pull away in an 81-75 win.
