“I love the green grass, the horses, the winning, the losing, the sheer excitement of it,” said Watts, who said he’s a $2 better, with his biggest win ever being $300. “I’m really very, very sad today. We were just asking each other, ‘what are we going to do next summer?’ I guess my lawn will finally get mowed.”

The Bulls have improved and are going to carry increased expectations in a competitive Eastern Conference, but just how well all the pieces mesh will be worth watching. Offensively, the team has a chance to be one of the NBA’s elite. The defense will be a work in progress, but coach Billy Donovan has never coached a defense that finished lower than 12th in the NBA. He’ll have his work cut out for him this season, including finding rotations and lineup combinations that make sense right away.
“He comes in with the winning mentality,” Montgomery said. “You would think from a magnifying glass he’d have so much pressure on him just being in the position that he is. But he’s so calm and composed. He’s just taking every rep as a game rep, and it’s very cool to see.”
“There are so many other players outside of him who are opting out, I would like to think they would make a way,” Tyki Irving told Rolling Stone. “It could be like every third game. So it still gives you a full season of being interactive and being on the court, but with the limitations that they’re, of course, oppressing upon you.”
“Better at-bats, hit the ball in the strike zone, don’t chase,” La Russa said. “Can’t strike out like we’ve been striking out (eight Saturday). A day like today we’re back on our heels. The other team beat us to the punch, offensively and defensively. That’s not how we play.”

“I felt like I got up here (to the majors) quick, which I was very humbled about,” said Vaughn, the No. 3 pick in the 2019 draft. “But there’s definitely a learning curve. You’ve got to learn the pitchers, learn how they’re going to pitch you, learn how to slow the game down even though it tries to speed up on you. Just show up every day and be a professional.
“I’m trying to win a game, not lose a game, and I know that sounds silly because we just lost it,” Bielema said after making a similar decision last week. “But it’s the decision I’d make 100 times over to go for it —ball on the 5, the defense has been playing that way the whole way. I’d do it 100 times over.”
On the third play of Wisconsin’s next drive, defensive tackle Jayson Ademilola forced a Mertz fumble, and Isaiah Mosley recovered it at the Badgers 46. Pyne, who replaced Coan in the third quarter, hit Austin for a 16-yard touchdown with 9 minutes, 34 seconds remaining, putting Notre Dame up 24-13.
