With just over 2 weeks left in the regular season, the Yahoo Sports staff breaks down races in the East and West with matchups they’d like to see.

Alabama and Clemson fans should start packing their bags and getting to Los Angeles for the Elite 8 because tickets are cheap.
The Crimson Tide upset North Carolina and Clemson stunned Arizona Thursday in the Sweet 16 to set the stage for a matchup pretty much nobody saw coming.
That’s caused ticket prices to absolutely collapse on the secondary market, and prices are so low that it’s borderline criminal to not go.
As of publication, tickets to the Saturday matchup in Los Angeles are going for as low as $50.

Alison Lee, currently the 17th ranked player in the world, continues to trend in the right direction at the Ford Championship.
American Alison Lee continues to play well.
After narrowly missing the playoff at last week’s Seri Pak Fir Hills Championship, Lee is back in the mix at the Ford Championship in Arizona.
She signed for a 6-under 66 on Thursday, which included zero bogies.
“My game feels really good.

Scottie Scheffler and Beau Hossler both seem like players that would be lumped into the ‘nice guys’ group on the PGA Tour, especially off the golf course. On the course is an entirely different story, especially for Scheffler. You don’t become the No. 1 player in the world without being among the fiercest competitors in the sport.

Ian Eagle is busy with a lot of things these days, including crushing being the voice of March Madness.
The NCAA Tournament has been awesome so far and if what we have seen is any indication then the rest of it is going to absolutely rock.
Part of what has been so great about this tournament has been the vibe and ambiance associated with it. In case you did not know, Ian Eagle has taken over as the lead voice for CBS and has served as a great narrator of all of the action. He even made news for not knowing what a portable washing machine was.

Some of the biggest stars on the LPGA Tour, including newly anointing number one Nelly Korda, are shining at the Ford Championship.
Some of the biggest stars on the LGPA Tour are shining brighter than the Arizona sun thus far at the inaugural Ford Championship.
Taking place at Seville Golf and Country Club outside of Phoenix, Pajaree Anannarukarn fired a bogey-free 63 and leads by herself at 9-under.

Starting today, it’s Sweet Sixteen time in women’s college basketball, and the tournament games so far have been fun to watch.
I was at Monday’s second-round game in South Bend, Ind. between Ole Miss and Notre Dame and the victorious Irish packed the place at 2 p.m. on a Monday afternoon. Parking was an inexplicable nightmare, but overall, very nice show!
Of course, some of the sideshows in the women’s tournament, like the questionable antics of Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark or the threats of a lawsuit against the Washington Post by LSU coach Kim Mulkey, have been just as entertaining.

Drake Maye was letting it fly during his pro day Thursday.
The former UNC Tar Heels QB is expected to be one of the first QBs off the board in the NFL Draft in April, and it’s possible he could go as high as second overall.
He put up video game stats at UNC without elite talent surrounding him. The young man is definitely a great prospect, and he was putting his arm talent on display for scouts and coaches Thursday with several bombs.
Maye was firing off deep balls with the flick of a wrist like it was absolutely nothing to him.

The New York Giants contingent that was in Baton Rouge to watch the Jayden Daniels pro day on Wednesday made its way to Seattle to witness the Michael Penix Jr. pro day on Thursday.
So, yes, jet travel is great.
But if one didn’t know better, there’s a temptation to believe the Giants sending general manager Joe Schoen, head coach Brian Daboll and multiple other members of the coaching and front office staff to these workouts sends a message.
And the message is the Giants are seriously considering selecting a quarterback in the first round of next month’s draft.

Korbin Albert, an up-and-coming star for the USWNT, has issued an apology for sharing a Christian video about the LGBTQ+ community after Megan Rapinoe called her out on social media.
Albert, who played at Notre Dame before turning professional, previously re-posted a video on her TikTok account of a sermon talking about how being gay and “feeling transgender” is wrong. The reposted videos resurfaced this week, which led Rapinoe, who is gay, to criticize Albert on social media.
