Basketball: There's Always Oweh By Ryan Hoots Sports Director, UntdWeStnd.com St. Louis, MO - That should've been the gut punch. Santa Clara nails a timely three with just over two seconds left and starts celebrating like they just sent Kentucky back to the lakes fishing. Crowd noise flips. Momentum gone. Season hanging by a thread. Wrong team. Ball gets in to Otega Oweh and there's no time for anything cute. No clipboard. No saving it for later.

Shelby Burton named 2026 Remarkable Raider By Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson University's Shelby Burton spends most of her time behind a camera. But on Friday, March 20, 2026, Burton was in front of the lens when she was named the university's 2026 Remarkable Raider. The Remarkable Raider award is presented annually by the Lindsey Wilson Student Government Association to a member of the Lindsey Wilson community who exemplifies the Lindsey Wilson mission. The recipient is often surprised by the award, and that could not have been more true for Burton on Friday. She learned the news in the middle of an afternoon baby shower her co-workers held for her in the Doug and Betty Jean Moseley Auditorium of the Norma and Glen Hodge Center for Discipleship. "I can't really process it," said Burton, who is Lindsey Wilson's assistant director of public relations and media producer. "I had zero clue. It was the shock of the century." In addition to a plaque, Burton was presented a commemorative T-shirt, which was given to all of those in attendance. And a special commemorative T-shirt was made for the son that she and her husband, Chase, will welcome in June.
