Beede’s Breakdown: How Magic overcame errors to handle Hornets on road • Arnold Palmer: American Hero a worthy, weighty read | Review
 Sentinel Sports Final Wednesday, March 6, 2024 | | |
| | | | | The Magic are 10 games over .500 and play a nine-win team tonight. Still, this season is going down to the wire because less than two games separate the No. 4 seed (homecourt advantage in the first round) from No. 8 (a matchup/beatdown from East alpha Boston). ... Orlando City and Tigres drawing is nothing new. Except this time Tigres didn't get an away goal, the difference-maker in last year's Round of 16 that eliminated the Lions. A 1-1 tie in the second leg, for instance, next week would advance Orlando City in Champions Cup play. ... It appears the Gators are really good at home (14-1) after blitzing No. 16 Bama. Except in the NCAA tournament, there are no true home games. ... UCF hosts a No. 1 team for the first time. That's the good news. The bad news is it's the Houston Cougars, who defend as if their NIL checks depend on it. Easily the most aggressive bunch in college basketball. Must have good guard play because they will trap off every ballscreen and force the ball out of the operational zone for the offense. The Knights have 4 vs. 3 behind the trap. The trick is getting the ball there for that numbers edge to matter. Seems easy. But it's not. ... Bay Hill is getting underway aka The Arnie. Bogeys might be as plentiful as UCF turnovers against Houston. | | | | Concacaf play is typically physical and this game was no different. A combined 27 fouls between the sides and three yellow cards kept each from having many opportunities on goal. | | | | | Orlando's second unit outscored Charlotte's 46-23 Tuesday night at Spectrum Center, winning its fourth game in a row. | | | | | Martin Davis culled through nearly 2,000 photos and settled on around 300 capturing his subject's movie star looks, aggressive playing style and raw emotion, abiding connection to "Arnie's Army" and his many relationships, including the special bond with Jack Nicklaus. | | | | | The Gators (21-9, 11-6 SEC) won for the 10th time in 13 games and finished 14-1 at home. More important to coach Todd Golden, they moved a step closer to potentially landing a double bye in the league tourney. | | | | | Oviedo, Lake Highland Prep, Lake Brantley, Harmony, Mount Dora Christian Academy had baseball wins. | | | | | The Knights, who appear to be headed to the NIT in their first Big 12 season, haven't beaten a top-ranked team in their history. This is also their first time hosting the No. 1 team. | | | | | USF is poised to make its first NCAA tournament appearance since 2012 after winning its first regular-season conference championship. This is just the second winning season for the Bulls since then, too. | | | | | Following Pitt's 42-31 halftime lead, the Panthers went on a 13-4 run to start to extend the margin to 53-35 in the first three minutes of the second half. | | | | | Winfield is coming off his best season as a pro. He had 122 tackles, led all defensive backs with six sacks, had three interceptions, forced six fumbles — most in the NFL — and recovered four. | | | | | Golfer David Ford's humility, along with his ability to forge meaningful relationships and practice random acts of kindness, are straight out of Arnold Palmer's playbook. | | | | | There's a chance Evans might have left some money on the table by agreeing to terms before free agency officially gets underway next week, but don't feel sorry for him. | | | | | Jacksonville's non-exclusive franchise tender means the team and Allen have until July 15 to work out a long-term deal. | | | | | Serving as a walking scorer for two decades, Ohrberg strolled many miles of fairways while enjoying a front-row seat to some memorable moments. | | | |
