Tennis star Roger Federer apparently shouted some kind of profanity, including the F-bomb, at Andy Murray during their match in the Australian Open yesterday. Murray got the last laugh, though, as he freed up Federer to return home.

  This second half of Kentucky’s loss at Alabama entailed every struggle that this team has had this year. They weren’t resilient when they had to be. Their guards struggled.

  Unfortunately true.

• From the Pressbox: Bowie impressed with Davis, Noel, Calipari - Kentucky Wildcats

  "I had never met Calipari personally prior to him being hired by the University of Kentucky. I had been to basketball functions and been in banquet halls and things of that nature around him but to actually meet him, I had never done that. One day, I got a phone call from him and he said he wanted to meet me and he wanted to sit down and talk. His whole deal is this - and it's real simple, he means this and it's not propaganda - he would tell me, 'Bowie, this program will go on regardless if there is another Sam Bowie and this program will be strong regardless if I am the head coach here,' " Bowie said.

  Sam Bowie talks about Coach Cal and more to Tom Leach. Read the whole thing.

  UCLA didn't so much beat Arizona, 84-73, as it did wear the Wildcats down, mop them up and spit them out. The Bruins beat Arizona on the boards, beat the Wildcats in transition, beat them in front of a raucous white-out wearing crowd and beat them without Travis Wear for the entire second half.

  This is so. UCLA looked like a serious contender in this game.

• What did Roger Federer shout at Andy Murray?

  Roger Federer dropped an f-bomb on Andy Murray while the Scotsman was serving for their semifinal match on Friday. The world No. 2 shouted the profanity at Murray at a tense moment in the match and it drew an annoyed smirk from the Scotsman.

• Short-handed Hawks take care of business against Bobcats, 104-92 // Rufus on Fire

  Where things really got hairy for Charlotte was in their halfcourt offense, as often is the case. With their frontcourt deficiencies, the Bobcats must rely on backcourt scoring to jumpstart their offense. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist really is the catalyst here. His ability to get into the paint creates the inside-out passing lanes the Bobcats lack without a serviceable big man that can kick out. Biyombo's not a good passer and Warrick would sooner die than pass up a shot. So when MKG goes out, the Bobcats struggle to find more dimensions to their offense.

• Injury woes, team’s struggles dampen John Wall’s rising star

  ESPN reminded Wall of how much perceptions of him have diminished when it failed to list him among the best 25 players under 25. Wall topped the list for the next 10, but found himself below Ryan Anderson, Thaddeus Young, Larry Sanders, Ed Davis and his former back court teammate at Kentucky, Eric Bledsoe, among others.

  Being injured has more consequences than meet the eye.
