Aryna Sabalenka got past Jessica Pegula 7-5, 7-5 in a rollicking U.S. Open women’s final Saturday to win her first championship at Flushing Meadows and third Grand Slam title of her career. Sabalenka, a 26-year-old from Belarus, adds this trophy to the two she earned at the Australian Open Open each of the past two seasons, also on hard courts. And the victory allowed her to leave Arthur Ashe Stadium in a far better mood than when she was the runner-up to Coco Gauff at the 2023 U.S. Open. Pegula, a native New Yorker whose parents own the NFL’s Buffalo Bills and NHL’s Buffalo Sabres, was participating…

Saturday’s loss is extremely disappointing on its own, but when the bigger picture is examined, it’s just the latest example of Pittman being unable to close out tight games. Since Pittman took over the program in 2020, one-score games have been his kryptonite.  Aside from a magical 2021 season that saw Arkansas go 9-4, Pittman’s record in games decided by eight points or less is a paltry 3-13. Five seasons into the Pittman era, the lack of wins in clutch situations isn’t just an unfortunate coincidence, but rather an appalling pattern that continues to crop up every season. Let’s not mince…
