‘Heartbroken’ over NCAA Tourney Snub
… We Deserved To Make It!
Published
The West Virginia men’s basketball team was left out of the NCAA Tournament field, and the Mountaineers squad is “heartbroken” over the perceived snub, saying they’re flat-out better than some teams who made the cut!
WVU, after finishing the season 19-13 (with a 10-10 record in the Big 12), hoped — maybe even expected — to hear their names called during the Selection Show on Sunday, but it didn’t happen, and they’re crushed.
“Heartbroken for @WVUhoops,” AD Wren Baker said after the show. “I can’t comprehend this team being left out.”

“Our resume was better than several teams in the field and it’s a terrible travesty that we weren’t included.”
It wasn’t all fury from the AD … he did praise his players for the year they had.
“Let’s rally around these young men,” Baker said, “and let them know how proud we are of them!”
The team’s coach, Darian DeVries, also shared his disappointment, saying … “Obviously, we are extremely shocked, saddened and disappointed with not being selected for the NCAA Tournament. We strongly believe that we have a résumé that is worthy of an NCAA Tournament team.”
Like Baker, DeVries also praised his team.
“I am incredibly proud of this team and what they accomplished. They poured their hearts into this season and put all their collective efforts into making the NCAA tournament, and I believe they did that.”
As for why WVU didn’t get a spot in the 68-team field, NCAA Selection Committee Chair Bubba Cunningham spoke about their decision, claiming the season-ending injury of WVU’s star player, and coach’s son, Tucker DeVries, was a factor.
The 6-foot-7 guard — who averaged 21.6 points and 6.7 rebounds per game this season — underwent shoulder surgery last month, and is done for the year.
“The hardest part of being on the committee is having to draw that line,” Cunningham said.
‘Bachelor’ Alum Sean Lowe
I Was Squirting Blood Everywhere
3 Attacks by My Own Dog!!!
Published
Sean Lowe went through a traumatic experience — revealing he was attacked three times by his rescue dog Moose only three months after getting him … leaving him squirting blood everywhere.
He broke it all down in an IG video with his wife Catherine — explaining while he was barbecuing with friends Thursday, he ran inside to turn off a fire alarm triggered by smoke … and that’s when the nightmare began.
Sean explained when he grabbed a towel to wave the smoke away from the alarm, Moose suddenly nipped his finger aggressively, then started sinking his teeth into his shoes … before ripping into his arm.
He pointed out this wasn’t a typical defensive bite from a scared dog … Moose was viciously attacking him — not that his pals outside had any idea, as he desperately fought off the dog while bleeding profusely.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Even after managing to get Moose into the backyard, the dog came back for a second round, forcing Sean to fight him off again, before finally getting rid of him.
Sean noted the cut on his wrist was so deep that blood was squirting several feet, and his friends quickly rushed him to the ER, where he received stitches on both arms.
But the horror didn’t end there — Moose escaped through the backyard the next morning and went after Sean for a third time. After wrestling the dog to the floor, Sean managed to escape … followed by another trip to the ER for more stitches.
Sean acknowledged that it wasn’t Moose’s fault, explaining the dog had experienced a lot of trauma before being adopted by his family — but with three kids, Moose clearly had to go back to a shelter.
President Trump
Strips Privilege From Hunter Biden, Sister Ashley …
No Secret Service Protection!!!
Published
President Trump says he’s revoking Secret Service protection for Joe Biden‘s adult children Hunter and Ashley … despite extending the same benefits to his own offspring after his first term.
Here’s the deal … Biden assigned Secret Service security details to Hunter and Ashley shortly before leaving office in January, providing them protection until July.
Trump says he’s pulling the plug early, though … announcing Monday on social media, “Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer. There are as many as 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous!”
POTUS says Hunter has the detail with him on vacation in South Africa and adds … “Please be advised that, effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection.”
Trump also claims Ashley has 13 Secret Service agents assigned to protect her … but he’s ending the benefit.
Worth noting … Trump gave his kids six months of Secret Service protection back in 2021 when he left office the first time … and Biden had no issue with it. 🤷🏽♂️
