Half of the Elite Eight field is now set.
The first four games of the Sweet 16 in this year’s NCAA tournament are now in the books after a very solid start to the round on Thursday night. No. 1 Florida flew past Maryland, and No. 2 Alabama dropped 113 points on BYU to make it into the Elite Eight. Then in the second wave of games, Duke and Cooper Flagg survived a late push from Arizona to advance.
But it was Texas Tech’s incredible rally that was the highlight of the night. The Red Raiders rallied out of a 17-point hole in the second half to force overtime before finally beating John Calipari and Arkansas 85-83. They’ll now take on Florida on Saturday night, while Alabama and Duke will match up in New Jersey.

The Sweet 16 will wrap up on Friday with four more games, including from both Auburn and Houston — which are the other two No. 1 seeds in the tournament. The Tigers will take on Michigan in Atlanta on Friday night, while the Cougars will matchup with Purdue in Indianapolis. Ole Miss and Michigan State will square off in the early wave, as will Kentucky and Tennessee.
While the field isn’t finalized yet, here’s everything you need to know to keep up with the Elite Eight this weekend.

Renato Maurício Prado exalta Pedro e ironiza dois “fenômenos” do Palmeiras
Pedro comemora gol pelo Flamengo (Divulgação - CRF) Renato Maurício Prado rechaça uma comparação entre os elencos de Flamengo e Palmeiras. Na visão do comunicador, o plantel rubro-negro, de forma indiscutível, está acima do grupo alviverde de jogadores. Neste cenário, o retorno avassalador de Pedro aos gramados motivou uma alfinetada em Vitor Roque, tendo em vista que o reforço mais caro da história do futebol nacional segue sem balançar as redes. “Eu não vejo o elenco do Palmeiras melhor que o elenco do Flamengo. O Pedro já veio lá de trás fazendo gols. Quantos gols tem o Vitor Roque? Esse fenômeno de artilharia. O Pedro jogou quatro jogos e disparou, é vice-artilheiro. O Vitor Roque não fez nenhum gol até agora.”, disse RMP, no UOL News Esporte. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE Além de Vitor Roque, o status de “fenômeno” de Facundo Torres […]
Capitals’ ‘hockey nerd’ Dylan Strome changes the game with his brain
ARLINGTON, Va. — If the Washington Capitals’ game-tying goal on Sunday night told us something about Tom Wilson, their game-winner told us something about Dylan Strome.The Capitals are one victory from eliminating the Montreal Canadiens from the Stanley Cup playoffs — Game 5 is Wednesday at Capital One Arena — and they’re in the catbird seat thanks in no small part to their No. 1 center.AdvertisementWilson’s window-rattling physicality, courtesy of a hit on Alexandre Carrier, changed the game’s tenor when Washington was down 3-2. Strome, though, helped bring it home, setting up Andrew Mangiapane for a high-shot snipe that put the Capitals up 4-3 with 3:37 remaining.The play, Capitals coach Spencer Carbery said, is Example A of Strome’s own distinguishing trait: an ability to think the game at a high level. He’s shown that for the last few years, and […]
After rough first month with the Yankees, reliever Devin Williams takes a step forward
BALTIMORE — Redemption won’t come all at once for Devin Williams. But on Monday in Baltimore, the beleaguered Yankees reliever took a modest step in the right direction.A clean eighth inning, in a 4-3 Yankees loss, offered Williams a moment of normalcy in a season that has been anything but simple. Upon conjuring a harmless pop-up to finish his scoreless frame, Williams strolled back to the bench alongside his teammates, not apart from them. A wave of high-fives and “atta boys” greeted him in the dugout.It was the type of dominant, ho-hum scene Yankees brass must’ve envisioned when they traded for Williams in December. Armed with a slow heartbeat and an untouchable, unicorn changeup dubbed “The Airbender,” Williams developed into a model of late-inning brilliance in Milwaukee. And so the 30-year-old, who is set to hit free agency this upcoming […]
Golfistka Davidson Spilková se kvalifikovala na major US Open
Davidson Spilková ve dvoukolovém jednodenním turnaji zahrála šest ran pod normu hřiště klubu Ambrosiano a podělila se o první místo se Slovinkou Piou Babnikovou. Na US Open se dosud trojnásobná olympionička představila pouze v roce 2018 a neprošla cutem. Na turnaji doplní krajanku Hanu Ryškovou, jež si pozvánku vysloužila už loni v září vítězstvím na turnaji US Women's Mid-Amateur Championship pro amatérky starší 25 let.Z pole 58 hráček si zajistily start na US Open jen dvě nejlepší, další dvě jsou náhradnicemi. Tato pozice unikla o ránu české žebříčkové jedničce Sáře Kouskové, jež se se skóre -4 podělila o pátou pozici. Třetí Češka Kristýna Napoleaová z turnaje odstoupila.V Miláně se dnes hrál jeden z 26 kvalifikačních turnajů na US Open a jediný v Evropě. Druhý major sezony se uskuteční s dotací 12 milionů dolarů 29. května až 1. června ve městě Erin ve Wisconsinu.
