With the Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day both in the rearview mirror, that can only mean one thing: the NCAA tournament is almost here. Twenty-two days before Selection Sunday, the NCAA men’s basketball selection committee shared a snapshot of its top 16 teams. Here is the partial bracket that the committee unveiled on Saturday afternoon and four key takeaways. 1.

Week 14 was a mix of blowouts and down-to-the-wire games. Unfortunately, like most weeks this season, injuries played a big part in a lot of Sunday’s outcomes. Today, we are going to touch on all this and more. Here are my takeaways from Week 14. King Kamara King Kamara, we have missed you so.

That goes for real-life baseball and the fake-stat-grab baseball we love so much. So count me in on Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin, with a high level of excitement. He’s coming back from a shoulder injury and has been fine in three short rehab outings (10.1 IP, 6 H, 4 ER, 3 BB, 9 K). The real selling point is what he’s done in 86.2… Source link

The first game on Saturday will feature the Vegas Golden Knights and the Colorado Avalanche while Sunday’s matinee will see the Boston Bruins battle the Philadelphia Flyers.
