The NCAA is trying to sell its new 76-team field as a great opportunity for everyone, including the mid-majors.Every NCAA Tournament win is worth an additional revenue credit for a school’s league, called a unit. The idea is that adding six automatic qualifiers for an opening-round game gives those schools and conferences more opportunities for tourney victories. An opening-round win is worth just as much as a first-round win.Advertisement

They are meeting the base requirement to make basketball history in a great basketball town.That does not mean the Knicks will achieve anything of the sort, of course.

Alek Manoah's Toronto return, and lessons for another young Blue Jays star

TORONTO — Blue Jays manager John Schneider’s mind goes back to the beginning. He thinks about Alek Manoah’s first big-league start, striking out seven New York Yankees batters as a section of family and friends in the upper-level seats lost their minds.Schneider thinks about Manoah’s first full season, posting 196 2/3 innings in 2022 with a 2.24 ERA and a third-place finish in American League Cy Young voting.

Knicks bench 'got out the mud' and has New York on cusp of conference finals

PHILADELPHIA — Jordan Clarkson could have taken the easy way out, and no one would have blamed him.Last offseason, the veteran guard agreed to a buyout with the Utah Jazz, for which he had played since 2019.
