| | | | | The Magic still are in a good spot to claim a top 6 seed, but the Clippers are fighting to stay about the cutoff for the Play-In. So it's unlikely they're going to take the night off to save themselves for later. ... The Tar Heels become the first No. 1 seed to bite the dust in the NCAA Tournament, No. 2 Arizona does what Arizona typically does (lose in the Sweet 16 as the favorite) and UConn showed once again why the Huskies are a level above every one else with the most creative offense in the counrty (a 30-point win vs. a No. 5 seed). ... The Rays could argue that they were the better team for eight innings on Opening Day. Too bad baseball has nine. | | | | The Magic lead the league in free throw attempts but Orlando's free-throw percentage is third-worst in the NBA entering Friday's contest vs. the Clippers. | | | | | Grant Nelson converted a go-ahead three-point play with 38 seconds remaining. He finished with a season-high 24 points, 19 in the second half, and he blocked RJ Davis on a tying layup attempt after giving Alabama the lead. | | | | | Softball winners included East River, Lake Howell and Hagerty, while Lake Brantley, Foundation and TFA won weightlifting district titles. Baseball winners included Windermere, Apopka and Freedom. | | | | | Zach Eflin seemed to have things well in hand through five innings, but that changed dramatically in the sixth. | | | | | Orlando has had to come back twice this season.

Coach Brad Brownell was making his second appearance in the second weekend of March Madness in his 14 seasons with the Tigers. | | | | | A year after cruising to their fifth national championship — winning their six NCAA Tournament games by an average of almost 20 points — the Huskies followed up blowouts last weekend with their ninth straight double-digit March Madness victory. | | | | | The pieces have fallen in place for UF senior Maisie Filler following her share of near-misses, including three runner-up finishes the past two seasons. | | | | | The All-Star shortstop, who has not played since mid-August, was placed back on administrative leave and will continue to get paid. | | | | | Montverde Academy, Hagerty and Clermont East Ridge are among seven Orlando area teams taking part in Roger Jones Kissimmee Klassic tournaments next week in Osceola County. The 32-team event is spli… | | | | | "Filthy" Tom Lawlor comes to St. Petersburg on Friday for a two-ring, eight-man cage match, which he says is a first for him. | | | | | The 2024 MLB season promises plenty of drama, on and off the diamond. | | | |
