John Calipari speaks to the media after Arkansa

After a sluggish start, the Toronto Maple Leafs were playing catch-up all night in a 6-5 shootout loss to the San Jose Sharks on Thursday.
Despite a valiant effort in the final minute of regulation, Toronto’s attempt to stage a comeback came up short. Down 5-3, they scored twice in 44 seconds to force overtime and earn a point, pushing their regular-season point total to 90 points and regaining sole possession of first place in the Atlantic Division.
Arkansas basketball’s (22-14, 8-10 SEC) roller-coaster season came to an unfortunate end Thursday in the NCAA Tournament, but plenty of hope remains for the future of the program.
Why? For starters, the Razorbacks may return star freshman guard Karter Knox. The 6-foot-6 wing from Florida started SEC play slowly, but he scored double-digit points in 3-of-5 postseason matchups (SEC Tournament included) with 15 points and 20 points against St. John’s and Texas Tech, respectively.
At the end of a deflating 85-83 overtime loss to Texas Tech in Thursday night’s West regional semifinals, John Calipari displayed little emotion as he walked toward the opposing bench with his hand outstretched.
“Good win,” he told Red Raiders coach Grant McCasland.
It was undeniably a spirited comeback by Texas Tech. It was also undeniably an inexcusable collapse from Arkansas.
For 35-plus minutes, the 10th-seeded Razorbacks were in control. For 35-plus minutes, they looked like the top-three seed.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The Toronto Maple Leafs fell to the San Jose Sharks 6-5 in a shootout at SAP Center on Thursday. Although they picked up a crucial point in the standings, it was yet another example of the Leafs struggling to pounce against a team at the bottom of the NHL standings as they gear up for a playoff run next month.
The Leafs appeared destined to lose against the Sharks in regulation time. But two goals in the final minute of regulation time forced the game beyond 60 minutes. Outside of their performance on the power play, Toronto looked lethargic on the ice.
