🔼 Motown Magic. Since the 2019-2020 NBA Season, the Detroit Pistons have had their struggles, and that’s putting it midly.

Cade Cunningham and crew are changing that narrative as the former OSU star has led the Pistons to 37 wins already this year. Prior to this season, Detroit had not won more than 23 games in six years.

On the year, Cade is averaging 25.7 ppg, 9.3 apg and 6.1 rpg for the upstart Pistons.

🔼 Locked and Loaded. One last dance.

The final time on the mats for the OSU wrestling program is coming as the NCAA Championship field was unveiled on Wednesday night with seven OSU wrestlers earning top-eight national seeds at their respective weights.

The Cowboys boast a representative at every weight class except 133 pounds, making it one of 10 teams with at least nine athletes headed to Philadelphia. After sending its complete lineup to each of the last two NCAA Championships, OSU’s total of 29 qualifiers over the last three seasons is tied for the most in the country. 

The NCAA Championships begin Thursday, March 20, with two sessions per day through Saturday, March 22. The morning sessions will be televised on ESPNU, while the evening sessions are set to air on ESPN.

🔼 Among The Stars. This week, across the Grapefuit and Cactus Leagues, the future of Major League Baseball will be on display with the second annual Spring Breakout featuring each organization’s best prospects.

Among the group, five Cowboys will be featured with Carson Benge (Mets), Robert Cranz (Nationals), Trevor Martin (Rays), Juaron Watts-Brown (Blue Jays) and Zach Ehrhard (Red Sox).
