If you watched college basketball in any capacity during the early 2010s, you are probably familiar with former BYU star Jimmer Fredette — the headliner of the U.S. 3x3 men's basketball team in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Fredette will be a first-time Olympian this summer when he takes the floor for Team USA's opening game against Serbia on Tuesday in Paris just over 13 years after earning Naismith and CBS Sports player of the year honors for the 2010-11 season.

If there's one country that follows a "there's no I in team" motto, it's the United States, and Team USA's women proved that today against Team Japan in their opening match for the 2024 Paris Olympics. It was an incredible showing of passing perfection through the paint and around the arch. Of course, what mattered most was that these assists were leading to buckets. Japan put up a great fight despite what the 102-76 score says. They knocked down threes left and right, but the US just kept pouring on the points.

History Facts lists eight names US parents no longer give their newborns, which you may no longer hear in Virginia. The girls' names are Doris, Gertrude, Mildred, and Judith. I know or have known women with all four names, but they are either baby boomers or boomer parents' ages and someone's grandma or great aunt. Consider the ages of females in Virginia you know with these names.

Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Monday that Edwards is viewed as week-to-week with a hamstring injury, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports. It's been a rocky start to Edwards' Buffalo tenure, as the 28-year-old missed some time earlier in the summer due to a shoulder issue, and he is now dealing with a hamstring injury that could sideline him for the foreseeable future. Edwards, who played his 2023 campaign with the Chiefs, has posted 133 total tackles and eight passes defended, including three interceptions, over the last two seasons. Once the Kentucky product returns to full health, he's expected to start alongside Taylor Rapp in the Bills' secondary.
