19+ min ago (362+ words) All Matas Buzelis could do was try and contest the game-winner by Indiana's Pascal Siakam on Saturday, as the Bulls lost a third straight. The Bulls didn't give up 120 points on Saturday night. They didn't get outrebounded, they won the free-throw line battle, and shot better from three-point range than the Pacers. All steps of progress. One problem " they also didn't win. Thanks to a pump-fake pull-up jumper from 14 feet away as the final horn was about to sound, Indiana forward Pascal Siakam handed the Bulls a third straight loss, as well as their fourth in their last five games, sending the visiting team home 103-101. How the Bulls have been losing was an obvious concern, especially after a stellar 5-1 start to the season, but who they have been losing to is the real punch in the face. They started the…...

That's not to say the Lions aren't potent in the halfcourt, but defense is their calling card. With O'Brien, a 6-1 senior, at the top of their 1-2-2 press, Lyons can force turnovers because of her long wingspan that forces a litany of deflections and errant passes. "My teammates give me confidence," said O'Brien, who finished with 13 points and eight rebounds. "I just wanted to find ways to impact the game so I could stay in the flow because eventually I need to make those shots." Lyons was able to win 55-42 against Lincoln-Way East because…...

2+ hour, 40+ min ago (702+ words) Karnisovas has asked for patience as he attempts to reload the roster, but this is Year 6 and there's one playoff game win on his resume. And the way the 2025-26 team has been playing, there won't be a second playoff game win anytime soon. It's not Noa Essengue's fault. After all, the Bulls fell on the 18-year-old Frenchman, he didn't fall on them. Yet, here we are at about the quarter mark of the regular season after Saturday's tilt with Indiana, and of all 14 lottery selections from the highly vaunted 2025 NBA draft class, Essengue (selected No. 12) has seen the least amount of floor time and it's not even close. Again, not his fault. It doesn't matter that Karnisovas promised a return to the Michael Jordan Championship glory days when he was hired now going on six seasons ago. It doesn't matter…...
