What on earth was going on here?
Vice President Kamala Harris is a proud Howard University alumna.
The school’s men’s basketball team won the regular-season Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference title and punched a ticket to the NCAA tournament by winning the MEAC tournament. It was a big deal for the Bison, who hadn’t appeared in the Big Dance since 1992.
Howard received a No. 16 seed and a tough draw against top-seeded Kansas in the West Region.

After two seasons with the Eagles, the veteran signal-caller will head to Indianapolis alongside Shane Steichen.
The Colts have agreed to terms with quarterback Gardner Minshew, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, giving the franchise an experienced signal-caller in the room for the 2023 season. 
Pelissero reports that Minshew is expected to sign a one-year, $3.5 million deal with Indianapolis. The 26-year-old likely will slot in as the team’s backup with the Colts expected to select a quarterback with the No. 4 pick in next month’s NFL draft.

JP Pegues made a 3-pointer with 2.2 seconds remaining, and No. 13 seed Furman defeated No. 4 Virginia 68-67 on Thursday in the NCAA tournament.

Chicago guard Lonzo Ball will undergo another procedure on his troublesome left knee, which could cost him most — if not all — of the 2023-24 season, sources said.

The Memphis Grizzlies are taking measures to leave cities early during road trips to avoid more controversies among their players.
Unveiled in a new report by The Athletic, the Grizzlies have been leaving “party” cities early and monitoring players’ activities during road trips, fearing situations could get out of hand.
Morant’s Strip Club Incident Has Ripple Effect
The added caution has been linked to Grizzlies star Ja Morant’s behavior after he snuck a handgun into a Denver strip club on Mar. 4 and flashed the weapon on his Instagram Live stream.

The Tigers pulled off the upset of the tournament so far, dispatching the Pac-12 champion Wildcats.
Princeton scratched, clawed and withstood several Arizona runs to overtake the Wildcats in the final minutes of regulation and pull off a stunning first round upset, 59–55.
The Tigers were led by 15 points from senior forward Tosan Evbuomwan, and held Arizona to just 42% shooting from the floor and 18.8% shooting from three.
Arizona was paced offensively by forward Ąžuolas Tubelis, who scored a game-high 22 points in the loss.

If your bracket wasn’t busted with Virginia losing, it might be now as the South region’s 2-seed Arizona was upset by Princeton.

The Tigers were paced offensively by senior guard D’Moi Hodge, who finished with a game-high 23 points. Kobe Brown added 19 points and a game-high eight rebounds for Mizzou, which shot 50.9% from the floor in the contest.
