Major League Baseball has opened a formal investigation into the matter surrounding Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani and his former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, the league announced on Friday.

13th-seeded Yale beat No. 4 seed Auburn 78-76 in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

The Southeastern Conference, which uses the slogan “It just means more,” is finding March maddening…and its teams having much less of a presence in the NCAA Tournament already.
No. 4 seed and SEC Tournament champion Auburn became the second, elite-seeded SEC power to lose in less than 24 hours on Friday night, falling to No. 13 seed Yale of the Ivy League 78-76, in the NCAA Tournament first round in Spokane, Washington.
No. 3 seed Kentucky lost Thursday night to No. 14 seed Oakland, 80-76, in Pittsburgh.

Louisville fans don’t have much to cheer for these days. But they had plenty to cheer against on Thursday.

One of my favorite things about March Madness is the phenomenon of how hardcore basketball fans will slave over their office pool brackets, combing through stats, only to lose to that one lady who doesn’t know a thing about hoops and picked her bracket based on which mascots she liked best.
I didn’t think there was a goofier way to fill out a bracket, but I was wrong. 
You can always fill one out for some political cache the way Minnesota Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan did.

The hatred between Kentucky and Louisville fans runs deep in the Bluegrass State, and that was evident by the response to Oakland’s win over the Wildcats on Thursday night. 
In one of the biggest upsets we’ve seen outside of a No. 16 seed winning, Oakland knocked off Kentucky last night in Pittsburgh, which sent shockwaves around the NCAA Tournament. It wasn’t just the fact that the Wildcats once again faltered in the postseason, it’s how they lost to the 14th seeded team from Michigan.

The baseball world this week has been rocked by the shocking story of Shohei Ohtani‘s interpreter allegedly taking $4.5 million from the superstar to pay for illegal sports betting debts.
Despite being a relatively new story, there’s already been a number of twists and turns that have raised doubts and further questions. Notably, that the explanation for what happened changed substantially from one day to the next.

K.J. Simpson needed every part of the rim to lift Colorado over Florida in the 2024 men’s NCAA tournament.
Lives can change with one bounce of the ball in March Madness. No. 10 seed Colorado was apparently living right.
Colorado beat No. 7 seed Florida, 102-100, in the first round of the 2024 men’s NCAA tournament. Star point guard K.J. Simpson hit the game-winner with under two seconds left in regulation, and he needed every part of the rim to get the shot to foul.
The Buffaloes inbounded in the front court with six seconds left.

Florida scored 100 points on Friday. It wasn’t enough.

The Ivy League champs stunned the No. 4 Tigers, winning 78-76 and pulling off Friday’s biggest upset so far. It’s been a brutal showing for the SEC.
