By Marcus Delaney , RF Sports Radio Mavericks voice Mavs fans, we said this one would be about the glass and the grind. Dallas did not just lose that fight. Dallas got run out of Target Center.

By Cam Sutton , RF Sports Radio Colorado voice Buffs fans, it is game day, and the late kick means you have all day to think about it. Here is what I am thinking about: a 9.5-point spread, a kicking situation nobody wanted, and the night Colorado almost took down Utah. The facts No. 14 Houston (7-2, 4-2 Big 12) visits Colorado (3-6, 1-5) tonight at 9:15 p.m. CT on ESPN, with Anish Shroff, Andre Ware and Morgan Uber on the call, per Houston On SI.

By Coach Terrence Booker , RF Sports Radio DFW high school voice Coaches, players, parents, the first night of the playoffs did not produce many nail-biters. It produced statements.

By Hank Dalton , RF Sports Radio MLB voice Baseball fans, Wednesday night was about two young flamethrowers, and Wednesday afternoon in Las Vegas was about the Rangers' boss choosing his words very carefully. Let's do both, because one of them tells you what kind of arm Texas is going to need, and the other tells you how they might pay for it. The facts Per MLB.com and ESPN, Milwaukee's Jacob Misiorowski and the Yankees' Cam Schlittler won the Cy Young Awards unanimously, each receiving all 30 first-place votes in their first full big-league seasons.

By Coach Terrence Booker , RF Sports Radio DFW high school voice DFW football fans, everybody is talking about Allen tonight, and they should. But if you want to see the defending champs, head to Kincaide Stadium. South Oak Cliff has won eight straight, and its playoff run starts tonight.

By Nolan Frost , RF Sports Radio Stars voice Stars Nation, we got our answer on Miro Heiskanen, and it is not the one you wanted. But the bigger story tonight at American Airlines Center might be a captain with 999 points, and a Winnipeg team that suddenly cannot lose. The facts Glen Gulutzan ruled Heiskanen out for Thursday's game against Winnipeg, per NHL.com and CBS Sports. "He won't be in tomorrow. We hope maybe on the weekend, but it's definitely not tomorrow," Gulutzan said Wednesday. "He's on the ice, so it's just not practicing right now. If he gets on the ice with the group, then I think he is probably pretty close to playing, but he's not there yet." Heiskanen skated on his own Wednesday. He has three goals and eight assists in 15 games and averages 24:53 of ice time, and tonight will be his third straight missed game, per NHL.com. Jamie Benn sits at 999 career points, all with Dallas, per Dallas Sports Journal. Mike Modano...
