You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Luka Doncic is doing things that simply should not be possible. The Lakers superstar dropped fifty-three points on Portland Friday night, but the headline moment came at the half — Doncic catching the ball near half court, taking a couple dribbles, and burying a sixty-one foot heave off the glass at the buzzer. Pure intention, he said after. His scoring average now sits at forty point one through ten games, and the Lakers rolled to a one twenty-four to one eighteen win. That man is in a different atmosphere right now.
Shifting to college football, and Notre Dame and Miami are set to square off today in what is shaping up as one of the marquee matchups of the weekend. The Irish and Hurricanes both carry serious College Football Playoff implications into this one, so the stakes could not feel much higher. Tune in and lock your eyes on it.
And in women's college basketball, UNLV's Jasmyn Lott announced herself in a big way during the Lady Rebels' opening win of the season at Cox Pavilion. The redshirt senior guard drew the and-ones, made the plays, and carried the torch for a program still building on the legacy of Desi-Rae Young. Las Vegas, your Lady Rebels are back.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
