Got some fun stories about the Houston Astros’ ace about his rise to Opening Day starter #Astros chron.com/sports/astros/…

@samwarren_3 Thanks for everything you did!

Personal news: Today is my last day at the Houston Chronicle. I’m so appreciative of my time in Houston. It was awesome covering the Texans over the last two seasons and also helping on Rockets, Astros and more. I’m could not be more excited to share my next step soon!

Sam’s one of the good ones 🫡

The NBA presented three comprehensive anti-tanking concepts to its Board of Governors on Wednesday, with modifications expected to each before a formal vote in May, per ESPN sources. 1. 18 teams in draft lottery (seeds 7-15 in each conference) – flattened odds, with bottom 10 teams having an 8% chance, the remaining 20% odds distributed in decreasing order for 11 through 18, and and a lottery drawing for all 18 picks. 2) 22 teams in lottery using 2-year record (seeds 7-15, plus the four playoff first round exits in both conferences). Lottery teams would reach a minimum win total floor in each season, such as 25 wins. If a team falls short of the floor, it gets slotted to meet the floor. Top 4 drawn as part of lottery, as is currently. 3) 18 teams in a "5 by 5" lottery – bottom 5 teams have equal odds for the top pick, with lottery formed for picks 1-5. Bottom 5 teams have a floor at 10; those that fall out of top 5 get sorted in a separate drawing.

"I love coach, with all my heart" ❤️ Emanuel Sharp on his time with Coach Sampson #MarchMadness

Chris Cenac’s insightful response on what Houston’s #marchmadness exit has taught him: “Dont take it for granted, the people you have around you…the people that love you and have held you accountable, [the people] that trust you…because it’ll come to an end someday.”

"I don't have to be their life, but they are my life." Kelvin Sampson talks on the importance of not taking a break to make sure his players are taken care of for the next step in their lives. ❤️

Coogs out scored Illinois 14-4 over these last few minutes and the score is 62-55 with 42.5 seconds left to play. Would still take a miracle for Houston here. I do, for the record, believe in miracles.

The Coogs are 17/55 from the field and 7/26 from 3. These are their first FTs. The score is 58-41, Illinois. There’s 3:27 left in the game.

Coogs have cut the deficit to 11 points but they’ll still need much better shooting to turn this one back into a game.

The Coogs haven’t shot a single free throw in this game. There’s 11 minutes left.

The Coogs have been out scored 20-4 so far in this second half. There’s 11:52 left, but they’re shooting 11-of-43 from the field and 4-of-21 from 3. Just a nightmare for them offensively tonight.

After winter of changes, Astros offense falls flat in 3-0 Opening Day loss nytimes.com/athletic/71507…

With that Kingston Flemings 3, the Coogs trail Illinois by two points (24-22) despite shooting 9-for-33 from the field and 4-for-17 from 3.
