March Madness is one of the best times of the year to be a sports fan as you are immediately blessed with some of the best basketball and drama. Perhaps the best part of March Madness is when teams come out of nowhere with some upsets in the first round. Today, that is exactly what happened as Oral Roberts forced Ohio State into overtime, and eventually won by a score of 75-72. This was a massive win for Oral Roberts, who came into the game as a 15 seed, going up against a 2 seed.

In the clips below, you can see Ohio State struggling to pick up a three-point shot as the time winds down in overtime. Oral Roberts seemed to be faltering on defense, but it didn’t matter as Ohio State couldn’t make their wide-open shots. In the end, it was the underdog that came through with a huge victory.

Fans on Twitter were immediately amazed by the upset and understandably so. Oral Roberts is only the 9th 15-seed to win in March Madness history, and now, they have etched their names into the history books. While it is unlikely they make it extremely far, this is still a massive triumph.

If you watched this game, this was definitely a treat. Let us know what you thought of the game, in the comments below.

LaMelo Ball has easily been the best rookie in the NBA so far this season and fans continue to be amazed by the plays he produces. Melo is one of those players who knows how to move the basketball and make incredible plays on a whim. Last night, LaMelo had his biggest test yet as he got to go up against none other than the Los Angeles Lakers who boast the talents of LeBron James, who is, of course, one of the best to ever do it.

In the end, LaMelo and his Hornets lost the game by 11 points, although LaMelo’s efforts were solid as he notched 26 points. Following the outing, LaMelo was asked by reporters about his play and how he felt about it all. As Melo noted, playing without fans sucked although overall, he was disappointed about not winning.

“No one has fans now, so everything feels really normal to be honest,” Ball said via ClutchPoints. “I do not know what’s really going on honestly. […] It felt good to play here, but not too good because we didn’t win.”

Ball received praise from LeBron James after the game, which must have been nice considering LeBron’s stature. LaMelo still has plenty to learn in his career but at this point, he certainly has garnered a lot of players’ respect.

Animal print suits seem to be the new wave, and Lori Harvey has hopped on the trend, sporting a Tom Ford red leopard print suit at a friend’s birthday event. However, it happens to be the exact same suit Lil Nas X wore at Tom Ford’s fall 2020 show in Los Angeles, as fans were quick to observe.

The suit included a bold leopard print in a ruby red colour, with a glittery effect from the sequin-finished blazer and matching pants from Ford’s fall collection.

The “Old Town Road” rapper completed his version of the look with a black button down shirt, black shoes, and a chunky black belt, giving a sophisticated feel to the extremely loud print. 

Lori’s look opted to show the deep-v nature of the blazer, accompanied by a tasteful black lace bralette, and Hermès mini bag. The final touches featured a classy square-shaped stiletto heel, a double-strand, diamond-encrusted necklace, and her hair pulled into a slick ponytail, giving rich businesswoman vibes. 

The model took to Instagram to flex her outfit, posting a series of photos highlighting the details, and her comment section was filled with love for her bold fashion choice.

“What a woman,” one user commented. Many others dropped hearts and comments, even thanking her for some future fashion inspiration, but it’s clear as day that Lil Nas X wore it first. 

A while back, Lori was heavy in the spotlight after being a victim of extremely misogynistic comments in light of her relationship with Creed actor Michael B. Jordan. Her beau came to her defense in the media and recently spoiled her on Valentine’s Day. 

Who do you think wore the suit better?

Moments ago, Saweetie took to Twitter to confirm her split from Migos rapper Quavo, officially signaling the end to one of Hip-Hop’s most beloved young couples. Just yesterday, it was reported that the two rap stars had unfollowed each other on Instagram, and while some people speculated that the two were just enduring a rough patch in their relationship, several other fans interpreted the news as a sign that Saweetie and Quavo had broken up. Today, Saweetie’s tweets have sadly confirmed that to be true.

When rumors of Saweetie and Quavo’s breakup started making their rounds around the internet, many Hip-Hop fans pointed to her shocking threesome comments during her appearance and Respectfully Justin, a popular new show hosted by Instagram sensation Justin LaBoy and her ex-boyfriend Justin Combs. However, Saweetie’s tweets didn’t just include an admission that the “My Type” rapper was single —‌ they also accused Quavo of being an unfaithful romantic partner.

Needless to say, Hip-Hop fans have a lot to say regarding Quavo and Saweetie’s split. Early reactions mostly consisted of thirsty Twitter users shooting their shots at Saweetie, but following Saweetie’s surprising confirmation and allegations, several social media users have shifted their attention to the root of the former couple’s breakup.

March hasn’t been kind to celebrities who are in high-profile relationships. We’ve already seen Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez call it quits as well as a messy Instagram breakup between A Boogie and Ella Bands, and sadly it appears that Quavo and Saweetie have reached the end of the road as well.
