Women's basketball portal rankings: With more than 1,000 names in, who can make the most impact?
The portal is open. The exoduses have begun. Let the madness continue.Within the first day of the portal’s opening, more than 1,000 Division I players had entered — that’s roughly an NCAA Tournament’s worth of rosters looking for a new home. Here’s a look at the players expected to be the most coveted in this recruitment period.Advertisement
What's going right for the Flyers? Just about everything in their 11-3-1 run
NEWARK, N.J. — Let’s first state the obvious: There’s a whole lot that has to go right for any team to go on an 11-3-1 run. That’s the Philadelphia Flyers’ record in their last 15 games after a businesslike 5-1 win over the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night at Prudential Center.But it’s fairly remarkable just how much has gone right for this club, which slightly strengthened its grip on third place in the Metropolitan Division.Advertisement
Big Ten's secret to hoarding trophies? Find elite college coaches, not elite complainers
The Big Ten has officially sealed its status as our new overlord. Not only has the league bumped the SEC off its longtime perch on top of college football. The league this week became the first to see three different members win national championships in football (Indiana), men’s basketball (Michigan) and women’s basketball (yes, UCLA counts) in the same school year.Indiana and UCLA had never done so in their sports. Michigan hadn’t in 37 years.Advertisement
Toronto Raptors have 1 week to prove they weren't a 1-month fluke
TORONTO — Raptors coach Darko Rajaković loves his espresso, which is perhaps how he has picked up some extra Italian culture. Hard to say. In Europe, it seems as if every country is just a two-hour flight away, so the culture can travel.“They have a saying in Italy,” Rajaković said before his team’s game against the Miami Heat on Tuesday. “You always wanted to ride a bicycle, and finally you have a bicycle. Now you have to turn the pedals.”Advertisement
Boston Bruins' Morgan Geekie ends his slump at exactly the right time
RALEIGH, N.C. — By now, Morgan Geekie knows he is a dangerous NHL goal scorer. He leads the Boston Bruins in this category. This is not easy when David Pastrnak is a teammate.But before Geekie recorded a hat trick in Tuesday’s 6-5 overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, he had been parked on 34 goals for 17 straight games. This would do a number on anyone. It is a long time for a puck not to go in. Confidence, in such situations, can be a fleeting commodity.Advertisement

Michael Malone said no to North Carolina at first. An Easter Sunday pitch changed that
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — As if that staging was accidental.As if North Carolina, on the day it formally introduced Michael Malone as its new head coach, just lucked into such perfect positioning. As if it didn’t want to set the tone from tipoff of what is expected of the program’s first “outside the family” hire since Frank McGuire back in 1952.Advertisement

How to smash a tennis racket: Style, control, damage, aggression — and danger
In the idyllic surrounds of the Monte Carlo Country Club, Daniil Medvedev was raging.After missing a routine backhand to conclude a miserable eight games against Matteo Berrettini, he destroyed his tennis racket in just about every way possible.He hoiked it into the green hoardings at the back of the court. He dashed it against the red clay, sending it skittering sideways and forcing him to walk after it with the humiliating gait of a child picking up a fallen ice cream.Advertisement
How Canadiens teammates Ivan Demidov and Lane Hutson can bend a game to their will
MONTREAL — After Lane Hutson had spent about 10 minutes answering questions about the remarkable play he made in crunch time, setting up Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki for an empty net tap in with 20.1 seconds left in regulation to tie the game, he was asked about another.It was a play by his remarkable teammate, rookie Ivan Demidov, at the offensive blue line, where Demidov evaded a Florida Panthers check to get into space and create a dangerous situation out of nothing.“When he slipped...
Willson Contreras didn't take out Brewers. That's good. Even better, the Red Sox got a W
BOSTON — There’s nothing wrong with a big-league ballplayer getting sick and tired of being drilled over and over and over by the same team. The problem is when said ballplayer stands before a gathering of media and announces he plans to “take one of them out” the next time it happens, as though we’re watching a “Goodfellas” sequel.Advertisement
Another lefty, another night of questions for how the Phillies approach a weakness
SAN FRANCISCO — By the second inning Tuesday night, Rob Thomson fielded a lineup that included Edmundo Sosa, Otto Kemp, Dylan Moore and Rafael Marchán. It was not how the Phillies envisioned it; Alec Bohm had a sore groin and J.T. Realmuto took a foul ball to the ankle. But some of it was by design. They were facing a lefty, Robbie Ray, and that meant an adjusted lineup.Advertisement
