Rivals roasting Florida football coach Jon Sumrall may live to regret it

There he was, minding his own business in the safety and security of his hometown, and newFloridafootball coach Jon Sumrall started catching strays.

FromKirby Smart and Mario Cristobal, of all people.

Fortunately, Mike Norvell was nowhere to be found.

Wouldn't you know it, this whole deal began with the biggest prankster and humiliator of all, the Ol' Ball Coach himself, Steve Spurrier.

It was Spurrier's annual dinner — that turned into a roast — to honor the best first-year coach in the nation, which was ironically delivered to first-year UNLV coach Dan Mullen.

He was taking strays, too, as a formerFloridacoach. Even on his night to be celebrated.

But what began as a fun mutual roast between Smart and Cristobal, quickly turned to Sumrall, who was simply sitting in the audience laughing at the back and forth between two of the best coaches in the game.

"I don't know what you're laughing at," Smart said to Sumrall, joking, of course, but nonetheless a precursor to some biting reality as Smart turned to Spurrier and asked a question.

"Your daughter is a realtor, did I hear that right? Is she the best realtor in Gainesville?" Smart said to Spurrier, before turning back to Sumrall with the punchline. "Well, you're the fourth (Gators) coach I've played since being at Georgia, so she's getting a lot of money selling houses."

Sumrall laughed, the crowd roared and everyone had a good time. But I flat out guarantee that moment will stick with Sumrall.

Just like Cristobal hitting the stage and proclaiming, "I never felt so welcomed in enemy territory. Except last year at the Swamp, 41-17."

BACK TO BASICS:Looking for college football's magic bullet? It's academic eligibility

SET UP TO FAIL:Players, cash, lack of consequences. What could go wrong?

Those things leave a mark, especially for a coach who has promised a tough, unrelenting team that will fight every day to resurrect the once storied program.

For a coach who took over a Troy program that won five games the season prior, and won 23 games and back-to-back Sun Belt conference championships. Who took over at Tulane, and played in back-to-back conference championship games — winning the 2025 title and reaching the College Football Playoff.

Something Florida still hasn't accomplished in the 12 years of the tournament.

A new Florida coach who, early last season at Tulane, made it clear for the rest of college football what kind of coach he was — and what he expected from anyone his teams play.

It was the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and Sumrallasked Northwestern if Tulane could wear white uniforms at homein the season opener — NCAA rules state visiting teams wear white unless the schools agree otherwise — to honor the victims, and the hardship New Orleans has worked through since the tragedy.

Northwestern promptly declined.

Tulane then beat the brakes off Northwestern, holding the Wildcats to 237 yards in a 23-3 whitewash. After the game, Sumrall didn't hold back.

"When you disrespect the city of New Orleans," Sumrall said, "You're gonna run into it."

Don't think for a second Sumrall won't use what happened at the Spurrier dinner as fuel for his team. Despite what the product has looked like in Gainesville for a majority of the last decade, there's plenty of talent on the roster.

Florida had a chance to beat Georgia in each of the last two seasons, but poor coaching (and once an untimely injury to then-quarterback DJ Lagway) contributed to blown leads and the game slipping away in the fourth quarter.

This past season at Miami, the Gators had the ball and trailed by six in the fourth quarter. The play calling on the critical drive from former coach Billy Napier: run, run, run, punt.

The Florida defense finally wore down, and Miami scored 13 points in the fourth quarter to back up the 41-17 Cristobal spoke of during the dinner-turned-roast in Gainesville.

Florida won't get another shot at Miami unless it's in the postseason, but will get Georgia in November in Atlanta — when the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party temporarily moves because of stadium renovations in Jacksonville.

There's not a better time for paybacks, this time with Georgia (not Florida) playing in its home state and 80 miles from campus.

Time for Georgia to run into it.

College basketball games to watch schedule full of March Madness implications.

As February turns to March and themen's college basketball seasonwinds toward its conclusion, there are plenty of high-stakes offerings on this weekend's schedule for your viewing enjoyment. We can't promise two top-five clashes like we had last week in this space, but the slate makes up for that in quantity with no fewer than a half dozenUSA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll Top 25showdowns over the course of the weekend.

That lineup begins Friday night in theBig Tenand continues into a Saturday marathon that opens with a first-place showdown in the ACC and also features a doubleheader in theSEC.

BRACKETOLOGY:A new No. 1 seed emerges in March Madness projection

Without further ado then, let's get to this week's Starting Five – plus a few coming in off the bench.

No. 3 Michigan at No. 11 Illinois

Time/TV:Friday, 8 p.m. ET, Fox.

The Wolverines are three games clear in the Big Ten race entering the regular season's penultimate weekend, and in all likelihood they've already done enough to merit a No. 1 NCAA regional seed. The Fighting Illini's recent run of tough overtime losses cost them both of those goals, but a win here would provide a huge confidence boost heading into March. The good news for Brad Underwood's squad is Illinois is one of the few teams with the frontcourt strength and depth to match up with the Wolverines. The Illini also have more reliable perimeter shooting, thanks mainly to Keaton Wagler, but Michigan's Elliot Cadeau shook off his rough outing against Duke with a more accurate night against Minnesota.

No. 12 Virginia at No. 1 Duke

Time/TV:Saturday, noon ET, ESPN.

It's a surprising fight for the top position in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Blue Devils of course were expected to be in this position in the ACC. The new-look Cavaliers were more of a mystery at the start of the season but have meshed together well in Ryan Odom's initial campaign. Duke's Cameron Boozer is the odds-on favorite to be named league player of the year, but UVa's Thijs De Ridder has a strong case for all-conference accolades putting up 16.0 points and 6.3 rebounds a game.

No. 14 Kansas at No. 2 Arizona

Time/TV:Saturday, 4 p.m. ET, ESPN.

The Wildcats shook off their recent two-game skid and have retaken control of the crowded Big 12. The wildly inconsistent Jayhawks go for a rare season sweep of Arizona, but leaving the McKale Center with a win is never easy. KU's defensive effort against Houston in its most recent outing was arguably its best of the season, and Flory Bidunga and the rest of the Jayhawks will have to be just as connected to handle the Wildcats' numerous offensive threats. Arizona will still likely be without Koa Peat due to a leg injury, but Brayden Burries and Jaden Bradley are also capable of taking over a game.

No. 16 Texas Tech at No. 5 Iowa State

Time/TV:Saturday, 4 p.m. ET, CBS.

Elsewhere in the Big 12, the Cyclones look to add to their collection of quality home-court victories and stay in the hunt for a No. 1 NCAA seed. The game is no less important for the Red Raiders, who need to show they can still compete for a championship despite losing their best player. With J.T. Toppin sidelined, Texas Tech has relied more on long-range scoring from Christian Anderson and Donovan Atwell, but LeJuan Watts has also stepped up to help on the glass. Iowa State can get points in a variety of ways but is at its best when the ball finds Milan Momcilovic and Joshua Jefferson close to the bucket.

No. 18 Alabama at No. 22 Tennessee

Time/TV:Saturday, 6 p.m. ET, ESPN.

In truth these SEC contenders are more than likely playing for second place in the league at best, but securing a top-four seed in the upcoming conference tournament is an important priority. That became a concern for the Volunteers with their midweek loss at Missouri. Usually their solid team defense would give them an excellent chance to successfully defend their home court, but they need to find Crimson Tide sharpshooters Labaron Philon and Aden Holloway quickly. While it might appear at times that defense is optional for Alabama, the Tide at least need to limit second-chance opportunities for Vols standout freshman Nate Ament.

Villanova at No. 15 St. John's

Time/TV:Saturday, 8 p.m. ET, Fox.

The Red Storm must putWednesday night's dismantling at the hands of Connecticutbehind them quickly as they return home to the more friendly environs of Madison Square Garden. But the game is just as vital for the Wildcats, whose March staying power remains very much in question. St. John's desperately needs a fast start to erase the memory of the 0-for-24 finish at UConn, which will likely mean getting Zuby Ejiofor involved early. Villanova will need Duke Brennan to hold his own on the boards and stay out of foul trouble.

No. 17 Arkansas at No. 7 Florida

Time/TV:Saturday, 8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN.

The Gators look to run their winning streak to nine and in the process lock up the SEC regular-season title. The Razorbacks must win in Gainesville then get some help in order to catch Florida, but they're also looking to continue the momentum of five wins in six games. The presence of Darius Acuff gives Arkansas a shot in every game, howevert the improved production from the Gators guard tandem of Xaivian Lee and Boogie Fland has raised the team's ceiling considerably.

No. 9 Gonzaga at Saint Mary's

Time/TV:Saturday, 10:30 p.m. ET, ESPN.

The day concludes with a final edition of West Coast Conference after dark, though there will probably be yet another encounter between these long-time league rivals in a little over a week before Gonzaga departs for the new Pac-12. Gonzaga has the top seed clinched, but the Gaels would nevertheless like to leave the Zags with one last impression of their Moraga, California, campus before the programs part ways. Graham Ike and the rest of Gonzaga's veteran lineup won't be rattled by a hostile student section, but the Saint Mary's interior defense of Andrew McKeever and Paulius Murauskas could prove more difficult to solve.

Michael Porter Jr. finally showing signs of vintage self after ugly Nets funk

Michael Porter Jr. has spent this month fighting his way through a funk partly of his own making.

The worst shooting slump he can remember has been about rhythm and rust. And maybe a little bit about mentality as well.

"It's the feel, the timing. My shot hasn't felt this off since I can remember. For the last four or five games, I've been off. But that's what happens when you're out of rhythm and you don't play for a while," Porter said beforeThursday's 126-110 loss to the Spurs.

"You can really lose your timing and your touch in two or three days of not playing. So not playing (in the last two games) pre-All-Star break, then not getting in the gym much during it, I'm paying the price for it."

And so had Brooklyn.

After missing games in Utah and Detroit while mourning the death of his grandmother, Porter hadn't been the same since returning. He sat the last two games before the All-Star break and admitted he didn't get into the gym as much as he should've.

He'd been as cold as this week's blizzard since, averaging 19.0 points and shooting just 10-of-55 from deep in his prior seven games.

He showed signs of his old form Thursday vs. San Antonio.

"I've got to get back in rhythm," said Porter. "Before the All-Star break I didn't play a couple games. And then I honestly didn't do much over the break. So I've got to get back in rhythm and play better."

Porter started to shake off his malaise against San Antonio with 25 points and 14 rebounds, both team highs.

It may be less about adjusting to defenses and more about adjusting to circumstances.

The mental issue may not be about mourning, but motivation. Porter had done nothing but win in Denver, where every night was high pressure.

This rebuilding thing is an adjustment.

"This is a new situation that I've been in," said Porter. "But no game is meaningless. It's all part of the journey. We're not just looking at this year. We're looking at the next one, two, three, four, five years. All these games matter for growth, continuity and chemistry. Sometimes it's hard to focus on that. But we've got to come in and work every day and realize it's a bigger picture.

"It's definitely a change. It's a learning curve and a learning experience for me. In the past, you're ramping up for the playoffs, trying to get guys healthy and get chemistry right. This situation is different. But it's a cool opportunity to grow and learn."

And to show he's a huge piece of that bigger picture, which should start to come into focus over the summer.

"We have a process and a plan in place. You cannot control everything but it's very exciting and everybody should feel the excitement of the next step," said head coach Jordi Fernández. "These last 25 games are very important. Then it's a big summer for everybody. I want to win every game, but playing these 25 to compete, and [then] how we structure the summer is the best thing, the biggest summer of our lives.

"So whatever it takes — understanding where your feet are and what you're asked to do, putting the team first — not yourself, but the team, and going out there to compete and get better. That's what we're demanding. We're demanding that from the vets, to lead by example, to go out and fight and compete. That's a must. So there are no excuses here; there's no feeling bad for yourself, no wasting 25 games. These 25 games are very important for everyone."

Porter was aggressive Thursday, perhaps too much. He had six turnovers, getting caught in the lane vs. Victor Wembanyama.

"Yeah, 22 shots is good. He disrupts so much. Maybe what I'd like to see is less than six turnovers," said Fernández. "Right there is maybe some of those is he just sees two bodies in front, he kicks it, he cuts, maybe he gets a layup [or] somebody gets a layup… [But] he was aggressive. He played well."

Liverpool playmaker Florian Wirtz still sidelined with back injury

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) —Liverpoolmidfielder Florian Wirtz will miss Saturday's game against West Ham because of a lingering back injury, and manager Arne Slot said there's no timetable for the Germany playmaker's return.

Wirtz had beenpulled from the lineupbefore last week'sPremier Leaguegame at Nottingham Forest after experiencing back pain during the warm-up.

"I don't expect Florian to be available. That's a disappointment, of course," Slot said Friday at a press conference. "Every time when a player is not available, it's a disappointment, and also something that I didn't expect after last week."

At the time of the injury, Slot had said: "We don't think it's very serious."

The Dutch manager was asked Friday if he knows how long Wirtz will be out.

"At this moment in time no, and usually when I say that I do know that, but I don't want to share it," Slot said. "But now, I honestly don't know."

Frimpong is back

Netherlands right-back Jeremie Frimpong has trained with the team this week, "so he is available" against West Ham, Slot said.

Frimpong, who has dealt with several injuries in his first season at Anfield, has missed the past month with a muscle injury.
