Out West, North Carolina earned the fourth and final No. 1 seed, but will have to go across the country in the second weekend if the Tar Heels want to make a trip to the Final Four.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — PGA Tour players sought and received more power in the aftermath of the stunning June 6 “framework agreement” with the idea that there would no longer be any surprise announcements without their input.
Tiger Woods was added to the PGA Tour Policy Board, another player seat was created to have six members, and negotiations continued—or so we thought—with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF), which backs LIV Golf.

The St. John’s Red Storm will not be going dancing in the NCAA D1 tournament (better known as March Madness), or any other tournament for that matter.
Rick Pitino’s squad was considered one of the biggest snubs of this year’s selection. The Red Storm won 20 games, were ranked 32nd in the NET ratings, and pushed UConn (the No. 1 overall seed in March Madness) to the brink in the Big East semifinals.
Nonetheless, it was not enough to get St. John’s into the tournament.
Call it the Trev Alberts classic.
On Selection Sunday, Nebraska and Texas A&M both booked spots in the 2024 NCAA tournament—against each other in the South Region. The No. 8-seeded Cornhuskers will take on the No. 9-seeded Aggies in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Friday in Memphis in what could be viewed as a revenge game for the ages.
Indeed, Texas A&M lured Nebraska athletic director to take the same position with the Aggies last Wednesday. It was a stunning move considering Alberts’s status as a former Nebraska football star.
