NBA legend and former UConn Huskie Ray Allen was at the NCAA National Championship game to see his alma mater throttle the San Diego Aztecs, 76-59.
After the game, Allen talked about why UConn had become such a powerhouse over the years. According to the former member of the Bucks, SuperSonics, Celtics, and Heat said that a big reason was the lack of distractions in Storrs.

Manoah’s next start against the Red Sox should be an absolute spectacle.

Shedeur Sanders has played his entire college career in Jackson, Mississippi and played high school ball in Texas. Now he’s playing in Colorado.
The air hits different in Boulder.
Jackson State sits at an elevation of less than 300 feet. Cedar Hill, Texas sits at an elevation of 880 feet. The University of Colorado sits at an elevation of 5,318 feet.
It’s quite the contrast playing for the Buffaloes than the Tigers, or high school ball in the Lone Star State.

Within any situation in which multiple lawyers and outside public relations firms are involved—the NFL’s equivalent to a Warren Zevon song—there is typically a salacious version of events presented by the accusatory attorneys and an indignant response from the accused, as if what’s been presented is so entirely untrue it’s barely worth the hundreds of thousands of dollars the team likely spent crafting the perfect defense to it.

As spring football continues across the country and culminates with spring games, Trent Dilfer is not backing down from Nick Saban and Alabama. If the Crimson Tide wanted to play tomorrow, the Blazers of UAB would be on the bus to Tuscaloosa today.
With Auburn set to play its intra-squad scrimmage this weekend, Hugh Freeze expressed his frustration with the current system. He finds spring games to be a detriment to the limited practice period and offered a solution for how to make it a more valuable experience.

Monday night’s NCAA men’s basketball national championship ratings are in.
The UConn Huskies men’s team victory over San Diego State University drew approximately 14.6 million viewers. Meanwhile, Sunday afternoon’s women’s final drew an astounding 9.9 million viewers, peaking at 12.6 million at one point. That easily shattered its previous high of 5.68 million (since the ESPN era began in 1996).
But the story isn’t that the men defeated the women in the rating; it’s that a relatively bad NCAA men’s final still had more viewers than the NBA Finals from the past three seasons.

When it comes to green jacket recipients, Scheffler might seem, well, boring. His inner circle insists there’s a method to the defending champ’s monotony.

The USGA and PGA take different approaches, but both are watching to see how the Masters sets the tone.

Padres star Manny Machado was called out on Tuesday after a pitch clock violation resulted in a third strike in his first at-bat against the Diamondbacks. 
The third baseman was livid with the decision from home plate umpire Ron Kulpa, who proceeded to eject him from the game after a frustrated Machado could be seen arguing the decision.
Padres manager Bob Melvin came out to plead his case alongside Machado, but after an extended and animated conversation, Kulpa sent Melvin packing with an early ejection, too.
