The Texas Tech baseball team always appreciates Logan Hughes’s presence, given that he leads the Red Raiders in home runs and runs batted in.
They got a gentle reminder of his importance Sunday.
Hughes delivered a go-ahead two-run double in a five-run eighth inning, then made a diving catch in left field to end the game as Tech rallied past Cincinnati 12-8, salvaging the last game in a doubleheader and a three-game Big 12 series at Dan Law Field/Rip Griffin Park.
That was after Hughes homered in the third inning and drew a warning from an umpire.

NEW YORK (AP) — OG Anunoby scored 19 of his 32 points in a perfect third quarter to keep up the best scoring stretch of his career, even with Jalen Brunson returning to New York’s lineup, as the Knicks beat the Phoenix Suns 112-98 on Sunday night.
Brunson had 15 points and six assists after missing 15 games with a sprained right ankle that he sustained exactly a month earlier. The Knicks didn’t need much from their All-Star guard, especially while Anunoby was going 7 for 7 in the third quarter, 5 for 5 from 3-point range.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers are on top of the men’s college basketball world. Well, sort of.
No, there wasn’t a last-minute change to the March Madness tournament where Nebraska took the place of Florida or Houston in Monday’s final. The Cornhuskers were taking part in the first ever “College Basketball Crown” (CBC) tournament, in which the winner took home a $300,000 cash prize.
On Sunday, Nebraska etched themselves in the CBC history books and walked away a few hundred grand richer.
The Cornhuskers topped the UCF Knights 77-66 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The Tennessee Titans have overhauled their linebacker corps this offseason. The team has jettisoned all of the players who opened the 2024 season at the top of the depth chart and replaced them with only unrestricted free-agent acquisition, Cody Barton. Otis Reese, Cedric Gray, and James Williams will return, but the Titans could use a few more bodies to add some competition to the room. 
Though information has been sparse, Tennessee has met with a few linebackers during their pre-draft process.

The Knicks picked up their second consecutive win, defeating the Phoenix Suns 112-98 on Sunday night at Madison Square Garden.
Here are some takeaways…
– Jalen Brunson returned for New York after missing the previous 15 games with a right ankle sprain. The superstar point guard had a relatively quiet night but he stepped up when the Knicks needed it the most, knocking down a massive three late to help stave off a Suns comeback attempt. 
He finished 3-of-9 from the field with 15 points and six assists in 34 minutes of action.

Prepare to be amazed by Victor Robles.
You might not know of Robles. He’s a solid but not widely-known outfielder for the Seattle Mariners who hasn’t made a ton of headlines in the league (he did win a World Series, though, in 2019). But Sunday, he guaranteed that he’s going to be on every defensive highlight reel for the next decade at least.
In a tie game in the bottom of the ninth against the San Francisco Giants, catcher Patrick Bailey lofted a fly ball deep into foul territory on the right field line.

Luka Doncic drives to the basket in the Los Angeles Lakers’ blowout win over the Oklahoma City Thunder (William Purnell)
Luka Doncic scored 30 points as the Los Angeles Lakers produced a devastating display of long-range shooting to score a surprising 126-99 blowout over the No.1 ranked Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday.
A heavyweight showdown between the Western Conference leaders and the third-placed Lakers was effectively settled in the first half, as Los Angeles rattled in 15 three-pointers — a franchise record — to open up a 78-56 lead at the end of the second quarter.

TAMPA, Fla. — It took a full minute of game action for Paige Bueckers to make her way down the Connecticut bench. First, she embraced head coach Geno Auriemma near the scorer’s table as play continued behind her. She carried on down through coaches and teammates and personnel, attempting to encapsulate entire relationships into five-second hugs. The family and friends stood rows deep behind them, as they had for most of the second half. The arena was deep into a celebration nearly a decade in waiting.
It is a championship of destiny and God’s perfect plan, Bueckers said.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Tage Thompson had a hat trick, Jason Zucker scored the go-ahead goal early in the the third period and the Buffalo Sabres beat the Boston Bruins 6-3 on Sunday night fourth their fourth straight victory.

Alex Tuch and Rasmus Dahlin each had a goal and an assist.
