Postseason basketball returns to Fleske Fieldhouse as Barton hosts Region 6 openers

DENVER (AP) — LeBron James has become the NBA’s leader in career field goals. James surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on Thursday night in Denver. James set the mark with his third basket of the night against the Nuggets. That gave him 15,838 buckets. Abdul-Jabbar finished with 15,837. Karl Malone is a distant third. James already owns the career scoring record and he has topped 50,000 points across the regular season and playoffs. Lakers coach J.J. Redick compared James' long run to Bruce Springsteen’s catalog.

TOKYO (AP) — Shohei Ohtani has thrilled fans by hitting a grand slam in the second inning at the World Baseball Classic, pushing Japan to a quick 4-0 lead over Taiwan. He also doubled in his first at-bat in the first inning. That was the early game action. The superstar had put on a giant show in batting practice hours before the game even started, to the delight of many who had traveled from afar to see him.

VERONA, Italy (AP) — The Milan Cortina Winter Paralympics will officially open later Friday amid the tensions of war in the Middle East and with some countries intending to boycott the opening ceremony because of the return of the Russian flag to the global sports stage. Ukraine is leading the list of countries not attending the opening ceremony in Verona, Italy to protest the decision of the International Paralympic Committee to allow Russian athletes to compete under their own flag and with their national anthem. The opening ceremony will take place at the Arena di Verona. It's the first time a Paralympic ceremony is being held at a UNESCO World Heritage site. The ancient Arena has been retrofitted with new wheelchair ramps and accessible restrooms.

The Buffalo Bills have brought in a familiar face for rookie coach Joe Brady and a top target for quarterback Josh Allen, agreeing with the Chicago Bears to acquire D.J. Moore in a trade. That's according to two people with knowledge of the trade who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because the deal cannot become official until the start of the new league year. They say Buffalo is swapping Chicago a second-round pick for a fifth-rounder in this year’s draft to get Moore. Brady coached Moore as offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers in 2020 and ’21.

The Anaheim Ducks pulled off a stunner of a move with less than 14 hours to go before the NHL trade deadline. They acquired Stanley Cup-winning defenseman John Carlson from Washington for a conditional first-round pick and a third-rounder in 2027. Anaheim's deal came just after Buffalo and Columbus opened deadline day with significant additions of their own. The Sabres added defensemen Luke Schenn and Logan Stanley from Winnipeg, while the Blue Jackets won a bidding war to get winger Conor Garland from Vancouver.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami teammates were honored by President Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday for winning last year’s MLS Cup. Miami beat the Vancouver Whitecaps in December for the Major League Soccer title, and the Argentinian superstar was named the league’s MVP for the second consecutive season. Trump praised Messi's efforts, saying he did something that's hard to do because he's expected to win. Messi did not speak during the event. Inter Miami was the first MLS team to be invited to the White House during Trump’s two terms in office.

MILAN (AP) — The Winter Paralympics officially open on Friday and bring a record number of athletes and medals to the Milan Cortina Games. Athletes compete in six sports. There is Para alpine skiing, Para biathlon, Para cross-country, Para ice hockey, Para snowboard, and wheelchair curling. In the ski sports, athletes compete in one of three categories: standing, sitting, or vision impaired. A factoring system lets different disability divisions compete together. Events take place across venues in Cortina, Tesero, and Milan, with wheelchair curling adding mixed doubles.

BOSTON (AP) — Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is on the verge of making a return to NBA action nine months after rupturing his right Achilles tendon injury during last season’s playoffs. Tatum was listed as questionable on the Celtics’ injury report on Thursday ahead of the team’s home matchup with the Mavericks on Friday. It is the first time this season he hasn’t been listed as sidelined and undergoing rehabilitation for the injury he suffered during Game 4 of Boston’s Eastern Conference semifinal loss to the New York Knicks last May. Tatum previously indicated that his return to the court would be for a home game.

VAL DI FASSA, Italy (AP) — In the absence of injured Lindsey Vonn and Mikaela Shiffrin, Emma Aicher seized her chance at a World Cup downhill on Friday to cut the American superstars’ leads in the season-long standings. Aicher is the Olympic downhill silver medalist and placed second at Val di Fassa in Italy just 0.01 behind first-time winner Laura Pirovano. Aicher's run pushed Olympic champion Breezy Johnson down to third. Vonn’s season was ended by her nasty crash at the Winter Olympics and her lead in the downhill points race is just 14 with two races left. Aicher’s 80 World Cup points cut Shiffrin’s lead in the overall standings to 139.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Daniel Berger grabs an early lead at Bay Hill with a bogey-free 63 in the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He played in the morning when conditions were at their best. His score was nearly nine shots better than the field. Collin Morikawa surges late with an eagle-birdie-birdie finish for 66. Ludvig Aberg matches that 66 in the harsher afternoon wind and firmer greens. Scottie Scheffler opens with 70. Rory McIlroy struggles to 72 after taking a double bogey from the water on No. 13. Only 32 players break par. Justin Thomas returns from back surgery and posts a 79.

The win comes Wednesday night, as Mist beats Phantom 80-74 in the season-two final. Stewart scores 32 and opens the second half with Mist’s first 12 points. Mist flips the script after going 0-2 against Phantom in the regular season. The finish turns messy when a foul on Stewart gets changed on review, giving her the winning free throw. Kelsey Plum scores 40 for Phantom. The game also lands as WNBA labor talks drag on.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Rory McIlroy says the European deal for LIV Golf players is generous and it's a shame Jon Rahm doesn't feel the same way. Rahm has rejected the deal in which he would have to pay previous fines, drop appeals and add two tournaments to the minimum four required for European tour membership. McIlroy says it's a better deal than the PGA Tour offered Brooks Koepka to return. Rahm's refusal to sign could put his Ryder Cup eligibility on the line. McIlroy says there's a reason eight of the nine LIV players from Europe have signed the agreement.

NEW YORK (AP) — A joke from Hilary Knight on “Saturday Night Live” and a couple of fist-bumps with Jack and Quinn Hughes on “The Tonight Show” capped a whirlwind victory lap celebrating the twin Olympic golds won by the U.S. men’s and women’s hockey teams. The good humor helped reset the national narrative around the teams that had gone sideways into politics and sexism after a comment by President Donald Trump. Dozens of people at multiple agencies, leagues and networks spent time coordinating a series of television appearances that put the focus back on their accomplishments in Milan.

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s hopes of World Cup qualification are being impacted by the Iran war because players cannot get visas for the playoff tournament in Mexico and the team’s coach is stranded in the United Arab Emirates. The Iraqi soccer federation says, “Because of airspace closures, our head coach, Graham Arnold, is unable to leave the United Arab Emirates. In addition, several embassies remain closed at the present time, preventing several professional players, technical and medical staff members from obtaining entry visas to Mexico.” Iraq is scheduled to play either Bolivia or Suriname in Mexico on March 31 for one of the last two qualification places for the World Cup.

Lou Holtz, the College Football Hall of Fame coach who led Notre Dame to a national championship and won 249 games over 33 seasons at six schools, has died. He was 89. Notre Dame announced on Wednesday that Holtz died in Orlando, Florida, surrounded by his family. Spokeswoman Katy Lonergan said a cause of death was not provided by the family. Holtz became the first and so far only coach to lead six different teams to bowl games during a career in which he compiled a record of 249-132-7. At Notre Dame, he went 100-30-2 in 11 seasons.The New England Patriots have informed wide receiver Stefon Diggs that he’ll be released when the new league year begins next week, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team hasn’t announced its intention. Diggs posted a goodbye on social media, thanking the Patriots for the season. Diggs led the team with 85 receptions and 1,013 yards receiving with four touchdowns in his only season in New England, helping the Patriots reach the Super Bowl.LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Chiefs and the Rams have agreed on a trade to send star cornerback Trent McDuffie to Los Angeles in exchange for several draft picks, three people with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade has not been finalized. Kansas City is expected to get the 29th overall pick in the upcoming draft, and the Rams will also send fifth-round and sixth-round picks this spring along with a third-round pick next year. The deal would fill the Rams’ biggest roster need by adding an elite cornerback to their mediocre secondary.Aaron Judge will captain a loaded U.S. roster at the World Baseball Classic.

Australia debuts top amateur draft pick Travis Bazzana.MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Aston Martin has predicted it is unlikely to finish Formula 1’s season-opening Australian Grand Prix without its drivers risking permanent nerve damage. Adrian Newey is the F1 car design great who’s heading into his first race as Aston Martin’s team principal. He says on Thursday the team’s Honda power unit causes vibrations which could damage the hands of drivers Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll. Newey adds neither can tolerate even half of the 58-lap race distance. Aston Martin had a poor preseason and was often slower even than new team Cadillac. Aston Martin logged the fewest laps of all 11 teams.DALLAS (AP) — Miami coach Jai Lucas likes the confidence and belief that the No. 22 Hurricanes have brought into March of his first season with them. Lucas says the 24-6 Hurricanes are rounding into form. They have won seven of eight games since the beginning of February, and in their first game of March won 77-69 at SMU on Wednesday night. That ensured a double-bye into the quarterfinals of next week’s ACC tournament.

Beloit Girls 61 Larned 48

The Barton Community College softball team responded from Saturday's disappointing split in emphatic fashion Monday afternoon at Cougar Field, turning a nail-biting opener into a runaway nightcap to complete a doubleheader sweep of Division II No. 18 Cowley College with 8-7 and 15-1 victories.

Game one required late heroics. After building a 5-1 advantage, Barton saw the lead slip away by the sixth inning before&nbsp;Carly Erpelding&nbsp;delivered a game-tying blast in the home half to reset the momentum. One inning later,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="http://bartonsports.com/sports/sball/2025-26/bios/alvord_karter_wr6i">Karter Alvord</a>&nbsp;provided the finishing touch, lining a walk-off RBI double down the third base line in the bottom of the seventh to cap the comeback and secure the victory.

The Cougars carried that spark straight into game two, erupting for nine runs in their opening at-bat. Erpelding's second homer added two more runs in the third before&nbsp;Mollie Steiner&nbsp;punctuated the offensive onslaught with a grand slam in the fourth, putting the finishing stamp on a 15-1 run-rule triumph.

Closing out a three-date homestand with the sweep, Barton improves to 8-8 overall while Cowley drops to 5-9. The Cougars now turn their focus to conference play beginning Thursday at Fort Hays Tech Northwest before traveling to Pratt Community College on Saturday. First pitch for both doubleheaders is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.

Barton pounded out 12 hits in each contest, led by Steiner's monster day at the plate. The sophomore went 5-for-8 with six RBI, collecting a double, her first collegiate triple, and a pair of home runs including the grand slam for her third long ball of the season.

Erpelding was nearly flawless, finishing 4-for-5 with four RBI while homering in both games, giving the freshman a team-leading five home runs on the season.

Alvord continued her recent surge, batting 4-for-7 with two doubles and four RBI, including the game-winning laser down the third base line in the opener.

In the circle,&nbsp;Ellie Crawford&nbsp;made the most of her first collegiate start, earning the game two victory to improve to 2-0 after scattering four hits and matching her season-best with three strikeouts.&nbsp;Peyton McCormick&nbsp;secured the opener, tossing the final three innings while allowing just three hits to move to 2-5 on the season.

Game One – Barton 8, Cowley 7 Barton answered Cowley's run in the top by plating five in their first at-bat of the day, highlighted by Steiner's 2-run home run and Alvord's ground rule 2-RBI double, followed by Chaylin Boone's RBI walk.

The Tigers began to chip away at the deficit in the third, Gracey Smith driving in two on a single with Taverli Tennant's triple in the fourth and scoring on a wild pitch, cutting Barton's lead to 5-4.

Barton answered back in the home half, Steiner's double extending the frame before scampering home on Erpelding's single.

Following a scoreless fifth, a 1-out hit and walk moved around the bases via wild pitches to plate one. Tennant's single drove in another as Taylor Clay followed with another base hit to push the Tigers in front 7-6.

Erpelding provided the tying shot with one-out in the home half, driving a shot deep to center for her first of the afternoon.

McCormick worked a 1-2-3 top of the seventh, turning the game over to the offense.&nbsp;Morgan Thatcher&nbsp;drew a four-pitch walk to begin the frame, with Alvord following unleashing a scorched laser down the third base line plating as pinch-runner&nbsp;Kahli Fields&nbsp;sped around the bases scoring from first base from the walk-off double.

Game Two – Barton 15, Cowley 1 (5 innings) Crawford began her first collegiate start with total command, striking out the first two batters before inducing a harmless fly ball to center.

Nine runs on six hits ensued in the home half, Steiner's single to right aided by a fielding error allowing&nbsp;Laney Wood's leadoff walk to score began the barrage. McCormick added an RBI hit with&nbsp;Hailey Horton&nbsp;following with a 2-run producing double. Alvord would join the action later with an RBI single, Wood drove in two more on a bases loaded double, with McCormick also delivering after the bases were reloaded with a 2-RBI single to cap the inning's outburst.

Following Steiner's first collegiate triple to open the third, Erpelding crushed her second homer of the day to straight away center, growing the lead to eleven.

The Tigers would get one run back in the fourth, Tennant's single opening the frame with a pair of walks ensuing to load the bases. Smith's single to left easily scored Tennant but a potential big inning was thwarted as Spears' laser to the plate cut down another run.

Barton went back to work in their final at-bat, Spears' 1-out hit followed by&nbsp;Grace Hembree's single, with Wood reaching on error in loading up the bags. One batter later, it was Steiner time again, clearing the bases with a no-doubter to left center for the sophomore's first career grand slam.

The Barton Community College softball team responded from Saturday's disappointing split in emphatic fashion Monday afternoon at Cougar Field, turning a nail-biting opener into a runaway nightcap to complete a doubleheader sweep of Division II No. 18 Cowley College with 8-7 and 15-1 victories.Game one required late heroics. After building a 5-1 advantage, Barton saw the lead slip away by the sixth inning before&nbsp;Carly Erpelding&nbsp;delivered a game-tying blast in the home half to reset the momentum. One inning later,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="http://bartonsports.com/sports/sball/2025-26/bios/alvord_karter_wr6i">Karter Alvord</a>&nbsp;provided the finishing touch, lining a walk-off RBI double down the third base line in the bottom of the seventh to cap the comeback and secure the victory.The Cougars carried that spark straight into game two, erupting for nine runs in their opening at-bat. Erpelding's second homer added two more runs in the third before&nbsp;Mollie Steiner&nbsp;punctuated the offensive onslaught with a grand slam in the fourth, putting the finishing stamp on a 15-1 run-rule triumph.Closing out a three-date homestand with the sweep, Barton improves to 8-8 overall while Cowley drops to 5-9. The Cougars now turn their focus to conference play beginning Thursday at Fort Hays Tech Northwest before traveling to Pratt Community College on Saturday. First pitch for both doubleheaders is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.Barton pounded out 12 hits in each contest, led by Steiner's monster day at the plate. The sophomore went 5-for-8 with six RBI, collecting a double, her first collegiate triple, and a pair of home runs including the grand slam for her third long ball of the season.Erpelding was nearly flawless, finishing 4-for-5 with four RBI while homering in both games, giving the freshman a team-leading five home runs on the season.Alvord continued her recent surge, batting 4-for-7 with two doubles and four RBI, including the game-winning laser down the third base line in the opener.In the circle,&nbsp;Ellie Crawford&nbsp;made the most of her first collegiate start, earning the game two victory to improve to 2-0 after scattering four hits and matching her season-best with three strikeouts.&nbsp;Peyton McCormick&nbsp;secured the opener, tossing the final three innings while allowing just three hits to move to 2-5 on the season.Game One – Barton 8, Cowley 7 Barton answered Cowley's run in the top by plating five in their first at-bat of the day, highlighted by Steiner's 2-run home run and Alvord's ground rule 2-RBI double, followed by Chaylin Boone's RBI walk.The Tigers began to chip away at the deficit in the third, Gracey Smith driving in two on a single with Taverli Tennant's triple in the fourth and scoring on a wild pitch, cutting Barton's lead to 5-4.Barton answered back in the home half, Steiner's double extending the frame before scampering home on Erpelding's single.Following a scoreless fifth, a 1-out hit and walk moved around the bases via wild pitches to plate one. Tennant's single drove in another as Taylor Clay followed with another base hit to push the Tigers in front 7-6.Erpelding provided the tying shot with one-out in the home half, driving a shot deep to center for her first of the afternoon.McCormick worked a 1-2-3 top of the seventh, turning the game over to the offense.&nbsp;Morgan Thatcher&nbsp;drew a four-pitch walk to begin the frame, with Alvord following unleashing a scorched laser down the third base line plating as pinch-runner&nbsp;Kahli Fields&nbsp;sped around the bases scoring from first base from the walk-off double.Game Two – Barton 15, Cowley 1 (5 innings) Crawford began her first collegiate start with total command, striking out the first two batters before inducing a harmless fly ball to center.Nine runs on six hits ensued in the home half, Steiner's single to right aided by a fielding error allowing&nbsp;Laney Wood's leadoff walk to score began the barrage.

Walk-Off Caps Thriller as Barton Offense Powers Sweep of No. 18 Cowley

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Khamari McGriff scored 18 points and Nate Johnson scored 16 points and Kansas State delivered another blow to West Virginia's NCAA Tournament hopes holding off the Mountaineers 65-63 on Tuesday night.

Reserve Chance Moore scored 18 points, Brenen Lorient scored 14 points, reserve DJ Thomas 12 and Honor Huff 11 for West Virginia.

It was the first win of the season for the Wildcats in which they didn't score 81-or-more points.

PJ Haggerty, the nation’s third-leading scorer, was unexpectedly scratched from the Wildcats' lineup posted an hour-and-a-half before the 7 p.m. CT tip-off.&nbsp;Haggerty wasn't listed on the team’s initial availability&nbsp;report released Monday.

Kansas State said in a release that Haggerty sustained an injury in practice in recent days. He’s listed day-to-day ahead of Saturday’s matchup at Kansas. Haggerty, the Wildcats’ starting point guard, entered Tuesday night second in the Big 12 in scoring, averaging 23.3 points per game.

Despite his absence Kansas State (12-18, 3-14) used a 21-0 run to take a 48-31 lead with 10:53 remaining, its longest scoring run of the season.

But the Wildcats proceeded to leave the door open failing to score a field goal in the final 3:48. McGriff made two free throws for a 57-39 lead with a 7:29 left.

West Virginia (17-13, 8-9) then outscored the Wildcats 19-1 down the stretch and got to with 61-58 with 48 seconds left before McGriff and Johnson each made foul shots to secure the win.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Moe Odum scored 23 points, Massamba Diop added 19 and Arizona State pulled away late to beat No. 14 Kansas 70-60 on Tuesday night in what could be Sun Devils coach&nbsp;Bobby Hurley’s final home game.

Hurley is the final year of his contract and the administration hasn't given any indications it will be extended amid a fourth mediocre season in the past five years.

The Sun Devils (16-14, 7-10 Big 12) did all they could to send their coach off with a win in a physical, emotional game that included the ejection of Kansas coach Bill Self and one of his assistants.

Arizona State jumped on Kansas early, withstood a big run and made the key plays down the stretch to beat the Jayhawks (21-9, 11-6) for the third time in the Hurley era, with the others 2018 and '19.

Darryn Peterson scored 13 of his 15 points in the second half as the Jayhawks twice rallied from double-digit deficits. Kansas went on a 17-1 run to cut a 20-point halftime deficit to four and trimmed a 12-point deficit to two with four minutes left.

Anthony Johnson answered with a 3-pointer and a layup, kicking off a 11-0 run that secured Arizona State's 15th win over a ranked opponent — second this season — in Hurley's 11 seasons.

Self was hit ejected in the first half for arguing an offensive foul call against Peterson. Assistant Jacque Vaughn was also T'd up and Elmarko Jackson was hit with a flagrant foul for taking down Arizona State's Allen Mukeba on a drive.

Arizona State: At No. 6 Iowa State on Saturday.

NEW YORK (AP) — Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar has been suspended for the 2026 season by Major League Baseball following his second positive test for a performance-enhancing drug. Profar tested positive for exogenous testosterone and its metabolites, the commissioner’s office said, which means testosterone that was not produced by his body. Because it was a second offense, the length of Profar’s suspension was 162 games. An All-Star in 2024, Profar was suspended for 80 games last March 31 following a positive test for Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG), a hormone that helps production of testosterone. He issued a statement then saying: “I would never willingly take a banned substance."

The Indianapolis Colts placed a transition tag on quarterback Daniel Jones and the New York Jets used the franchise tag on running back Breece Hall as teams beat the deadline to place tags on potential free agents. The Colts opted to use the $37.8 million transition tag instead of the $43.9 million franchise tag, opening up the possibility that he could still leave without compensation for Indianapolis. Hall got the $14.3 million franchise tag from New York, meaning the Jets would get two first-round picks as compensation if they didn’t match any potential offer sheet.

GENEVA (AP) — With 100 days to go until the World Cup, the Iran war has added a new layer of complexity to the tournament co-hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada. How the conflict will affect the world’s most watched sporting event is the latest issue facing organizers. FIFA was already grappling with cartel violence in one of the Mexican host cities, scaled-back plans for fan festivals in the U.S. and pushback from fans over soaring ticket prices. The tournament kicks off on June 11 when Mexico plays South Africa in Mexico City. It will be the biggest World Cup ever with 48 participating teams.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals have informed two-time Pro Bowl quarterback Kyler Murray that they plan to release him at the beginning of the new league year on March 11, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the move can’t be officially announced until next week. Murray — who is owed $36.8 million in guaranteed money in 2026 — will be free to sign with any team once he’s released.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Luka Doncic had 27 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, LeBron James added 21 points and the Los Angeles Lakers rallied past the New Orleans Pelicans 110-101 for their third straight victory. Deandre Ayton had 13 points and eight rebounds for the Lakers, who overcame a fourth-quarter deficit and 21 turnovers by making a 14-0 run to seize control down the stretch. Zion Williamson scored 24 points in his return from a one-game absence after hurting ankle last Saturday for the Pelicans, who lost for only the second time in six games. The Lakers finished the game on a 24-7 run.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona State scratched and clawed its was to a 70-60 win over No. 14 Kansas in what may be coach Bobby Hurley's final home game. Arizona State jumped out to a 20-point lead, let the Jayhawks back in it and made all the key plays down the stretch to close out its home schedule with a win. Hurley's contract was not renewed beyond this season, so the Sun Devils will likely need a miracle run through the Big 12 tournament for the coach to keep his job. Hurley led Arizona State to three NCAA Tournaments, including two straight, but didn't win consistently enough. He at least went out with a bang, if this was the end.

TOKYO (AP) — It’s officially named the World Baseball Classic. But for the Group C games in Japan, simply call it the world according to Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani’s life-size image is all over the Tokyo Dome, and racks of Ohtani jerseys — about $125 each — dominate the adjacent merchandise center. Japan begins play on Friday against Taiwan with South Korea, Australia and the Czech Republic also in the group. Japan is the defending champion and is expected to claim one of the two spots for the quarterfinals in the United States.

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. (AP) — Top-ranked tennis player Aryna Sabalenka has announced her engagement to Brazilian businessman Georgios Frangulis. Sabalenka has shared a proposal video on Instagram with the words, “You &amp; me, forever.” Fellow players were quick to congratulate her, including Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic and Amanda Anisimova. Sabalenka could face Anisimova in the quarterfinals at the Indian Wells tournament in California, which opens on Wednesday. It marks Sabalenka’s first event since the Australian Open final where she lost to Elena Rybakina in January.

OXFORD, Ohio (AP) — Pete Suder scored 19 points, Antowne Woolfolk added 14 and No. 19 Miami (Ohio) closed within a victory of a perfect regular season with a 74-72 win over Toledo that extended the RedHawks’ season-opening winning streak to 30 games. The RedHawks (17-0 Mid-American Conference) remain the only undefeated team in Division I men’s basketball. Miami extended the best start in program history and added to its school record for wins in a season. Miami also boasts the best start and longest win streak in MAC annals. Brant Byers added 13 points and Luke Skaljac chipped in 12 for the RedHawks. Leroy Blyden Jr. led Toledo (16-4, 10-7) with 21 points and Sonny Wilson added 13.

DUNEDIN, Fla. (AP) — Max Scherzer says the note his daughter composed that asked the Toronto Blue Jays to re-sign the three-time Cy Young Award winner arose as his kids were writing letters to Santa Claus in December. Scherzer's wife posted the handwritten note on Instagram after the three-time Cy Young Award winner signed a one-year, $3 million contract to stay in Toronto. Scherzer told reporters that “it's the cutest thing you can possibly imagine when you read that.”
