ATLANTA — More than a year ago, Tom Izzo vowed a resurrection. He’d take his Michigan State team deeper in the NCAA Tournament. A blueblood whose March pulse had cooled set course for a return to lofty expectations. The Big Ten throne. A shot at the Final Four.
Sam Kerr has expressed “sincere regret” in a meeting with Football Australia over her contentious recent court case in Britain, and will rejoin the Matildas squad this week in a non-playing capacity. The 31-year-old Kerr was found not guilty last month by a jury in a London court of racially aggravated harassment of a police officer in 2023. Football Australia only learned of the charge in March of last year when it emerged in the media. Kerr met with national soccer officials last week. In a statement Monday, Football Australia’s board says there’s no cause for disciplinary action against Kerr. The 31-year-old Kerr hasn’t played in more than a year since sustaining an ACL injury during a Chelsea training camp.
A fast-moving storm that caused a delay during the Angels-White Sox game created a headache for the grounds crew at Rate Field. It began to pour when a storm rolled over the ballpark with the game tied at 2 in the bottom of the seventh inning. The crew rushed out to the tarp, but the workers weren’t able to pull it over the entire infield and the area around the first-base line was exposed to the weather. The crew used a patchwork of smaller tarps to cover as much of the area as it could. When the rain stopped, the crew began to work on the infield with bags of drying material. The game resumed after a delay of almost three hours.
Twenty-five years after his lone national title, Tom Izzo has come up short of No. 2. Michigan State fell behind by 15 points in the opening minutes and never could fight all the way back against the top overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. The cold-shooting Spartans fell to Auburn 70-64 in the final of the South Region in Atlanta. With a roster that Izzo described as one of his favorites of a three-decade-long career if not the most talented, Michigan State made only 24 of 64 shots from the field, including 7 of 23 from 3-point range.
ARLINGTON, Texas — Picture this: The Texas Rangers have a series lead and send possibly the best pitcher in baseball to the mound to close it out. He doesn’t allow a run and turns it over to a bullpen that bends but doesn’t break. The offense pieces together timely hits to take a late-game l…
OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges each scored 28 points and the New York Knicks dominated the second half for a 110-93 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night. Bridges scored 21 in the final two periods as the Knicks outscored the Blazers 60-35 after halftime. New York made 27 of 42 shots (64%) across the final 24 minutes after trailing 58-50 at the break. Josh Hart added 14 points, nine assists and eight rebounds for the Knicks. Deni Avdija scored 33 points and Shaedon Sharpe had 23 for Portland, which shot 13 for 21 while outscoring the Knicks 33-23 in a strong second quarter, then made just 14 baskets the entire second half.
James Harden made a milestone 3-pointer as the NBA continues barreling toward another record-setting season from beyond the arc. Harden’s 3-pointer with 5:23 left in the second quarter of the Los Angeles Clippers’ 127-122 loss in Cleveland on Sunday was the 30,000th in the NBA so far this season. It is now four consecutive seasons with at least 30,000 3s in the league. It had not happened before the 2021-22 season.
Reaching 60 wins is far from the ultimate goal for the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, that doesn’t mean they aren’t going to savor reaching the milestone. Cleveland’s 127-122 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday afternoon gave the Cavaliers at least 60 wins for only the third time in franchise history. The last time Cleveland reached 60 wins was 2009-10, when it went 61-21. The franchise-high mark is 66-16 from 2008-09. Those were the final two seasons in LeBron James’ first stint with the Cavaliers. Without being asked, center Jarrett Allen recognized how meaningful it was to do something again for the first time without James.
Five players and two coaches were ejected after a fight broke out in the second quarter in the Minnesota Timberwolves’ game against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday. Detroit lost head coach J.B. Bickerstaff, center Isaiah Stewart, forward Ron Holland II and guard Marcus Sasser. Minnesota forward Naz Reid and guard Dante DiVincenzo also were tossed, along with assistant coach Pablo Prigioni. Stewart received a technical foul just moments earlier when he bumped DiVincenzo hard after the whistle. Then Holland was called for a foul as he slapped the ball out of Reid’s hands near the baseline. The two exchanged words, DiVincenzo stepped between them and grabbed Holland’s jersey, and soon all 10 players on the court and multiple coaches were part of the scrum.

Min Woo Lee is finally a winner on the PGA Tour and it he had to sweat it out at the Houston Open. Lee had a five-shot lead at one point on the back nine. And then Scottie Scheffler and Gary Woodland put together sensational charges. Lee hit a tee shot in the water. And suddenly his lead was down to one shot. Lee hit the best lag of his life from 55 feet just off the 18th green. It stopped inches away for a par and a 67 to win by one. Scheffler shot 63 and Woodland had a 62.
ST. LOUIS — A clubhouse that bounded out of spring training convinced it knew more about its ability than any pundit, press clipping or public promotion of lower expectations did not keep the reasons for such enthusiasm to itself for long.
Kyren Paris homered on the first pitch he saw after a lengthy rain delay and the Los Angeles Angels rallied to beat the Chicago White Sox 3-2. Paris — a second-round pick in 2019 — hit his first home run this year after hitting one last season in 51 at-bats. Closer Kenley Jansen gave up a leadoff double to Andrew Vaughn and a walk to Matt Thaiss to begin the bottom of the ninth. He got Miguel Vargas to pop out before inducing a double-play grounder from Brooks Baldwin. Mike Trout collected his first hit of the season when he singled to load the bases in the top of a two-run first inning for LA.
Auburn makes it all No. 1 seeds in the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament, beating Michigan State 70-64.

Denny Hamlin ended an agonizing 10-year winless streak at Martinsville Speedway, holding off teammate Christopher Bell in his home state to secure a spot in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. The Joe Gibbs Racing star, from the Richmond suburb of Chesterfield, leads active Cup drivers with six victories at Martinsville. But Sunday was his first on the 0.526-mile oval since March 29, 2015. Hamlin was a frequent contender during his 19-race drought at Martinsville, posting 10 top fives and leading 226 laps. Bell, who leads the Cup Series with three wins this season, was second, followed by Bubba Wallace, Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson. With the 55th victory of his career, Hamlin also snapped a 31-race winless streak since last April at Dover.
HOUSTON (AP) — Min Woo Lee kept his calm amid tremendous charges by Scottie Scheffler and Gary Woodland, winning the Houston Open on Sunday for his first PGA Tour title with the best lag of his life that set up a final par for a one-shot victory.
Houston’s relentless defense confused and harassed Tennessee and carried the Cougars into their seventh Final Four and first since 2021, with L.J. Cryer scoring 17 points in a 69-50 victory. Emanuel Sharp scored 14 of his 16 points after halftime for top-seeded Houston, which extended the nation’s longest active winning streak to 17 games. The Cougars had been eliminated as a No. 1 seed in the Sweet 16 in each of the past two years, but this time coach Kelvin Sampson’s team has a shot at the program’s first national title. The Cougars will face Cooper Flagg and five-time national champ Duke Saturday in San Antonio.
There are those who say the National Invitation Tournament, that venerable college basketball institution that dates to 1938 – one year before the NCAA Tournament was founded – is on its last legs.
Alex Tuch and Tage Thompson each scored twice and the Buffalo Sabres beat the Washington Capitals 8-5 on Sunday.

Tennessee never saw the NCAA Midwest Region final against Houston unfolding the way it did. The Volunteers missed 19 of their first 22 shots and scored just eight points in the first 15 minutes of their 69-50 loss. They were down 34-15 at halftime, the lowest first-half points total in an Elite Eight game since 1979 and the lowest by any No. 2 seed in NCAA Tournament history. The Volunteers, who also lost in the Elite Eight last year, have made 27 NCAA Tournament appearances without making a Final Four.
