Texas coach gives fiery, expletive-laden halftime speech before Longhorns’ upset over Gonzaga
No. 11 seed Texas upset No. 3 Gonzaga, 74-68, on Saturday to move on to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, and head coach Sean Miller’s expletive-laden halftime speech might have been the reason why.
Miller, 57, challenged his team to maximize their effort on the offensive glass and not wilt just because Gonzaga is a higher seed and a good basketball team.
“Here it is. The team who gets the most second shots in the second half will win. Again, I want to go back. You want to take it or are you just going to say — we’re going to say, ‘Like, man, they seem to always go to the Sweet 16. Same happened to us.’ No, no. If you didn’t take it, if you’re going to be a team take, we got to go get the ball more when we miss. It can’t be one of those like, ‘F— it, we could never get an offensive rebound against Gonzaga.’ Yes, we can,” Miller told his team.

Miller impressed upon his squad that if they couldn’t grab it, they needed to keep the ball alive by whatever means possible, and to win the game, they had to steal it from Gonzaga.
“You can’t get it, punch it, tip it, go back up, tip, dunk, up,” Miller said. “The most aggressive team in the second half. The team who wants to go to San Jose, the team who’s going to steal it and take it from the other motherf—er, that’s who’s going to win because it’s an even game.”
Texas took Miller’s advice literally, as they stole the ball four times from Gonzaga had an 11-2 advantage in points off turnovers. While the Longhorns out-rebounded 34-29, they shot the ball better than the Bulldogs, draining 52% of their shots compared to 45% for Gonzaga.
For Miller, Texas’ trip to the Sweet 16 is his ninth trip in 21 seasons as a head coach and improved his overall tournament record to 25-13 in the NCAA Tournament. For Texas, this is their first Sweet 16 since 2023.
The Longhorns will look to keep their Cinderella run going when they play No. 2 Purdue on Thursday at 7:10 p.m. ET.

The crystal-clear blue waters of the Bahamas, a paradise for tourists, are also home to sharks — and a new study suggests these sharks are being exposed to drugs.
Researchers in Brazil and Chile analyzed 85 sharks for the presence of caffeine, cocaine and painkillers.
The study titled, “Drugs in Paradise,” was published by scientists in Brazil and Chile in the journal Environmental Pollution.

Of the 85 sharks analyzed, containments of emerging concern (CECs) — such as caffeine, cocaine, and painkillers — were detected in 28 sharks off the coast of Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas.
“To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of caffeine and acetaminophen detected in any shark species worldwide, and the first report of diclofenac and cocaine in sharks from The Bahamas, an environment commonly described as pristine,” the study noted.

Scientists analyzed serum samples of tiger sharks, blacktip sharks, Caribbean reef sharks, Atlantic nurse sharks and lemon sharks.
“Pharmaceuticals and illicit drugs are increasingly recognized as contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in marine environments, particularly in areas undergoing rapid urbanization and tourism-driven development,” the study’s abstract noted.
In 2025, 12.5 million people visited the Bahamas, according to the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments and Aviation.
The researchers concluded the sharks with CECs showed altered triglycerides, urea and lactate levels.
Lead researcher and Federal University of Paraná biologist Natascha Wosnick told Science News currents could have transported drug traces from sewage or other sources — but divers are the more likely source.
“It’s mostly because people are going there, peeing in the water and dumping their sewage in the water,” said Wosnick.

She also said, “The [sharks] bite things to investigate and end up exposed.”
Past studies have focused primarily on the effects of drugs on invertebrates and bony fish, “but sharks — important players in ocean ecosystems — have been largely left out,” said Smithsonian magazine.

The new data also showed that the sharks with contaminated blood “had changes in some biological markers, which can point to how tissues are functioning. Though the researchers don’t know if the alterations are detrimental, the team says they could lead to behavioral changes,” the same source noted.

Patriots star appears to show support for ex-Bulls player after rant against NBA’s Pride Month celebration
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson appeared to come out in support of former Chicago Bulls guard Jaden Ivey, who was released following his rant against the NBA’s Pride Month.
Ivey posted his rant on social media on Monday. He said it was “unrighteousness” that the league would celebrate Pride Month. Henderson responded to news of his release with a Bible passage.

“’Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven,’ Matthew 5:10,” the second-year NFL player wrote on X.
Ivey has been posting similar videos with rants in recent weeks, as the 24-year-old has noted in the past he deals with depression.
“The world can proclaim LGBTQ, right?” Ivey said in his latest video. “They proclaim Pride Month and the NBA. They proclaim it. They show it to the world. They say, ‘Come join us for Pride Month to celebrate unrighteousness.’ They proclaim it. They proclaim it on the billboards. They proclaim in the streets. Unrighteousness. So, how is it that one can’t speak righteousness? Who are they to say that this man is crazy?”
Ivey said in a separate video that Catholicism was a false religion.

Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said the organization has employees from “all different walks of life” and Ivey’s comments didn’t reflect the values of the franchise.
“Everybody comes with their own personal experiences, but one is we’ve got to all be professional,” Donovan said prior to Chicago’s game at San Antonio. “I think there’s got to be a high level of respect for one another, and we’ve got to help each other and then be accountable to those standards.”
Ivey has spoken out this season about dealing with depression. He recently started posting lengthy videos about his thoughts on religion on social media.
“I don’t want to get into what he put out there, but certainly, I hope for him he’s okay,” Donovan said. “I’ve had conversations with Jaden and he’s always been about rehabbing his knee and trying to get on the court and wanting to play. But I think organizationally, there are certain standards we want to have as an organization and try to live up to those each and every day.”
