The ACC is leaving its longtime home of Greensboro, North Carolina for Duluth, Georgia in 2026.

Whoever the next head coach at Georgia Tech is, they’ll enjoy some semblance of a homecourt advantage next year at the ACC Tournament for women’s basketball.

That’s because the tournament will be held at Duluth, Georgia’s Gas South Arena — nestled in the suburbs of Atlanta in Gwinnett County — March 4-8, 2026.

The ACC officially announced the...

The Lakers have a gap, and they fumbled the chance to fix it.

The Los Angeles Lakers are a very, very good team — that much is certain, but as we draw closer to the NBA Playoffs this team is looking much more like one that could see its run end in the Western Conference Finals, at best.

Nintendo Switch 2 vs Switch 1: I played the new console and these are the differences

Nintendo showed off the Switch 2 today. The internet has a lot of thoughts about it, good and bad. Allow me to weigh in.

Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on: 3 things that make it a must-buy

One of the primary reactions to the big Nintendo Switch 2 Direct on Wednesday was that it's going to be too expensive for a lot of people to adopt right away.

According to professor Igor Efimov, a co-lead in the study, about one percent of children worldwide are born with congenital heart defects. And...
