The reigning national champions are out, but 15-seed Princeton is still rolling. Plus, Eric Musselman took his shirt off again.
A one seed, and the reigning national champion, went down. Another one seed was pushed to the brink for about 30 minutes. Duke lost and set a dubious record in the process. And a 15-seed cashed a ticket to the Sweet 16 for a third straight year.
Let’s get into all of it.
March Madness’ 3 best games of Day 3
1. (8) Arkansas 72, (1) Kansas 71 (West)
For my money, this was the best game of the tournament to date.

Despite not having their point guard, the Vols still remain a strong team, due to their identity
When you play Tennessee basketball, you gotta grit your teeth a little bit more.
Elbows get scraped more often, bumps and bruises start to hurt a little bit more, you get fatigued earlier. If you’re Duke’s Kyle Filipowski, you might get a cut under your eye less than 10 minutes into the game.

Odell Beckham Jr. is attempting to set the record straight on his contract demands.
There have been reports circulating that the former Rams and Giants receiver wants to bag himself $20 million with a new team.
However, OBJ claims that’s simply not true. Saturday, the talented but injury plagued receiver tweeted he’s “so confused where the quote” claiming he wants $20 million came from.
He quickly added he’s just not returning $4 million, which seems to indicate that’s his max offer at the moment.

I’m just so confused where the quote is from me tht said I want 20…..

The Cougars became the first top seed to advance to the Sweet 16 after two had already fallen, and prevented what could have been the best day in SEC basketball history.
The NCAA tournament bracket was bending, breaking, busted. It was open season on No. 1 seeds: Purdue had gone down Friday night; Kansas was laid low Saturday evening. And while Arkansas was completing that upset of the Jayhawks, a third No. 1, Houston, was staggering.
Playing in a lamentable road atmosphere here—something that should never happen to a No.

Purdue and Kansas have been upset. Houston and Alabama are struggling with injuries.

Saturday’s USA-Venezuela classic shows how much baseball has grown internationally and what the WBC games mean to those who choose to play it.
MIAMI—When Bobby Thomson hit what the New York press, in borrowing from Ralph Waldo Emerson, anointed as “The Shot Heard Round the World,” his home run on Oct. 3, 1951 happened on a Wednesday afternoon in New York and at a time when baseball was not played west of St.

He was furious after officials ordered him off the track.
After Josh Williams was ordered out of Saturday’s race by NASCAR following a three-car collision, the driver retaliated in rather petty fashion.
Williams was involved in a three-car collision on lap 28 of the Raptor 250 NASCAR Xfinity series race. Despite his crew taping up the damage to his vehicle, the race was halted again on lap 32 due to debris coming off of Williams’s car. 
As a result, officials ordered him to abandon the race, which clearly did not sit well with the 29-year-old.

The Longhorns great was fired up after the win.
Texas punched its ticket to the Sweet 16, fending off Penn State in the round of 32 on Saturday night. Longhorns star Dylan Disu led the charge offensively, scoring a game-high 28 points in the victory.
His performance in Texas’s second NCAA tournament game earned him a special shoutout from Longhorns legend and Suns superstar Kevin Durant, who was impressed with the big man’s game while watching the clash against the Nittany Lions.

After surrendering two late third-period goals and holding the Senators off in overtime, the Maple Leafs were able to capitalize in the shootout for a 5-4 win.
