Meanwhile, the Tigers have been one of the surprise packages of the tournament, but the No. 5 seed will be without star player Chuma Okeke, who tore his ACL during the Sweet Sixteen stage. Due to this, they enter the game as huge underdogs to advance to the national title game, and a Virginia team led by Kyle Guy and Ty Jerome should prove to be too much. In the days second game, Texas Tech takes on Michigan State....

The Spartans last time out destroyed No.3 LSU 80-63, shooting nearly 50 percent from the field. That result means that Michigan State has won each of their first three games by at least double-digits, and Aaron Henry has been among the teams stand out players. During the Spartan’s win over LSU, the forward scored 20 points while also pulling down 8 rebounds, and if Henry can produce a similar performance tonight - Michigan State will have an excellent chance to knock out an underwhelming Duke team....

Best storyline: Will it be Virginia vs. Michigan State III? This is becoming like the Rocky series. The first one was great — and yes, Carl Weathers was absolutely robbed of an Oscar nomination — but do we really have to keep adding to the series? It seems a bit unfair to the players to keep forcing them to climb over the same bodies to reach the ultimate goal of the Final Four....

Matthaus: Bayern will raid Monaco The Bayern Munich goalkeeper added to his impressive list of titles after the club wrapped up another Bundesliga championship this past weekend. Starke, who has been on the books at Bayern since 2012 but hasn’t featured for the club since the 2013-14 season, has won every title available since his arrival at the Allianz Arena.

Nebraska wore Facemask Cameras during its spring football game and the first person view was pretty awesome. While 77,000 people showed up for the practice game, none of them got to witness it like this. The cameras give perspective on both sides of the ball — what it’s like to tackle and what it’s like to get tackled. The coolest part might be the view from the kick returner’s helmet....

Hot on her heels with another fine sub-par round of one-under 71 was Gaurika Bishnoi, while amateur Pranavi Urs, who has been shaping up well, shot an even par 72 to be sole third. The highlight of the first day, however, was a stunning hole in one by Millie Saroha on the Par-3 17th, which played to 135 yards. Ironically, Mille had dropped five shots in the previous four holes and was going through a wretched run, before the ace lit up her day....

Let’s start with Bush’s plan to get foreigners to lend us money for the war, rather than our paying cash for it. Bush doesn’t say this, of course, but it’s what his policy amounts to. We’ve just run the biggest federal budget deficit ever: $530 billion, if you include the money that the rest of the government borrowed from Social Security’s alleged trust fund. Bush wants an extra $87 billion for the war at the same time that he’s cutting taxes and hitting up foreigners for contributions....

Yeah, about that… Once Anthony Davis made his trade request and told the Pelicans he had no intention of re-signing with the team, the league went crazy.
