Elite status

Friday, Mar 23

3 thrilling wins, 3 epic game-winning shots. Loyola is now the 1st team since 1985 to win 3 games by 2 points or fewer in 1 NCAA tournament. Last night, Marques Townes joined the hero-mode fraternity with a late 3-pointer that solidified a 69-68 win over Nevada in the Sweet 16. "I'm sorry for Sister Jean, for busting her bracket, but yeah, we're just happy to be in this position," Townes said. The Ramblers will face a surprising Kansas State team (and former Illini and SIU coach Bruce Weber) in Saturday's Elite Eight game (5:09 p.m, TBS). Loyola coach Porter Moser is ready to go: "Next one. We're hungry. We're greedy. We want more." Who's got next?

Hard to hate

From lovable losers to perennial winners: Will the Cubs ever be as unlikable as the Yankees or Duke? This we know: Kris Bryant gets "goose bumps" when he thinks about potential of this year's lineup. And as for Yu? He's still new.

Sit back, relax and watch 'em grow

This Sox spring has been like a sneak preview to a movie that won't come out for months. But oh man, we want tickets (and not just because of this new bar at The Rate). Today: Jose Abreu is back-ish. Yesterday: A decision in CF.

Mythbuster

The top of the NFL draft is usually reserved for glamour positions — but Notre Dame guard Quenton Nelson is poised to shatter that myth, writes Brad Biggs. Yesterday: The Bears re-signed Northwestern's Sherrick McManis.

Pun intended

"I just want to finish strong and get better," Bulls' Lauri Markkanen said. He paused and smiled. "Get it? Finnish?" he said. Can't decide if we're proud or embarrassed ... Tonight: No Giannis for the Bucks (7 p.m., NBCSCH).

Great news!

Hawks announcer Eddie Olczyk is cancer-free: "We beat this thing, and I say we because it has been a team effort." Last night on the ice: Hawks fell to 0-23-5 when allowing at least 4 goals this season (Canucks won 5-2).
