Fight broke out a short time ago after Michigan Wolverines pulls off huge upset over Ohio State Buckeye
Following the Michigan Wolverines’ dramatic 13-10 upset victory over the No. 2-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes, emotions boiled over in a chaotic postgame altercation at midfield.
The incident unfolded as Michigan players celebrated their triumph in the high-stakes rivalry matchup by attempting to plant their signature maize-and-blue ‘M’ flag at the center of the Buckeyes’ field.
This celebratory act sparked tensions, leading to players from both teams converging at midfield in a heated exchange filled with shoving and shouting.
Reports from the scene indicate that Michigan players were pepper-sprayed during the scuffle, adding another layer of controversy to the postgame melee.
Among the notable moments of the altercation, Ohio State defensive standout Jack Sawyer was seen grabbing the Michigan flag, throwing it aside, and attempting to tear it apart.
The altercation comes after a closely contested game that saw Michigan secure a hard-fought victory, ending Ohio State’s bid for postseason dominance.
The rivalry, already one of the fiercest in college football, now carries additional intensity with the fallout from this incident.
Officials from both teams and the NCAA are likely to review the postgame conflict for potential disciplinary actions. Neither Ohio State nor Michigan has released an official statement regarding the altercation at this time.
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK — The NBA’s Most Valuable Player for the 2024–25 season resides in Oklahoma City.
Thunder star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is set to be officially named the league’s MVP on Wednesday night, according to a report from ESPN.
The announcement is scheduled to air at 6 p.m. CT on TNT, crowning the 25-year-old with the highest individual honor in professional basketball.
Gilgeous-Alexander, known for his dynamic scoring and two-way excellence, edged out fellow finalists Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets—a three-time MVP—and Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks, a two-time MVP.
The victory follows a runner-up finish in last season’s MVP race, which was narrowly won by Jokic.
This season, Gilgeous-Alexander elevated his game to historic levels while leading the Thunder to a franchise-best 68 wins and the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, making Oklahoma City the second-youngest team in NBA history to claim the conference’s top seed—trailing only last year’s youthful squad.
In 76 games, he led the NBA in scoring with a career-high 32.7 points per game, while shooting an ultra-efficient 51.9% from the field, 37.5% from three-point range, and 89.8% from the free-throw line. He also averaged 6.4 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game, continuing his ascent as one of the league’s most complete and consistent performers.
The Canadian guard dominated nearly every scoring category, leading the NBA in 50-point, 40-point, 30-point, and 20-point games. His four 50-point performances tied Kevin Durant for the second-most in a single season in Thunder franchise history. His total scoring output surpassed that of the league’s next-highest scorer, Anthony Edwards, by 307 points, despite Edwards appearing in three more games.
Beyond offense, Gilgeous-Alexander earned praise for his defensive tenacity, anchoring a Thunder team widely regarded as one of the best defensive units in recent memory. His ability to apply pressure on both ends of the floor, while managing a historic offensive load, separated him from the field. He is also expected to earn his third consecutive All-NBA First Team selection, which would surpass former Thunder MVP Russell Westbrook in that category.
With this honor, Gilgeous-Alexander becomes the third player in Thunder history to win the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award, joining Kevin Durant (2014) and Russell Westbrook (2017). It is a crowning achievement in what has already been a breakout season for both Gilgeous-Alexander and a resurgent Oklahoma City franchise poised for a deep playoff run.
