Florida isn’t around to defend its title anymore, but all the other top seeds in this year’s NCAA Tournament are still around.
And many of them are winning convincingly.
In the first week of the NCAA Tournament, games were decided by an average of 15.3 points. According to Sportradar, that represents the third-highest average margin of victory through the round of 32 since 1985, when the tournament expanded to 64 teams before eventually getting to its current 68-team format.
The only NCAA Tournaments with higher average victory margin since then came in 1993 (16.1) and 2024 (15.4).

Skier Mikaela Shiffrin just keeps winning following a redemptive performance at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics. Shiffrin continued her fantastic run in 2026 on Wednesday, taking home a record-tying sixth women’s World Cup skiing title.

Shiffrin was able to pull it off.

Woods, who hasn’t played a competitive round of golf since July 2024, made his season debut on TGL on Tuesday night for his Jupiter Links team.

Until recently, the dumbest thing Dan Orlovsky ever did was unintentionally, unwittingly and inexplicably scramble out of the back of an end zone during an NFL game almost two decades ago in order to avoid getting sacked. But then Tuesday happened.
And Orlovsky, the former-NFL-backup-quarterback-turned-usually-insightful ESPN football analyst, ran out of excuses and reasons for disliking Fernando Mendoza as the top quarterback prospect in the NFL draft.
Thank you, Pat McAfee.
