Is Loyola elite?

Thursday, Mar 22

The wait is over: Loyola vs. Nevada in the Sweet 16 (6:07 p.m., CBS). The Ramblers have won 12 straight; the Wolf Pack have won 9 of 11. "They've got a ton of shooters," Loyola's Ben Richardson said of Nevada. "It's got to take the whole team, all five guys on the court, to really slow them down." Enter Marques Townes, the football player turned basketballer for Loyola: "We call him a bulldozer." Yeah, that'll work. If all else fails, dial up a buzzer-beater — and then maybe you, the game-winning hero, can get a Chance shoutout. Play ball! The Elite 8 awaits.

Squad goals

A peak at the Bears' depth chart —if the season started today. The "explosive, electric" Taylor Gabriel made the cut, but we can't say the same for the NFL's new catch rule (spoiler alert: Steve Rosenbloom is still confused).

Reality bites

Hawks players, how does it feel to not make the playoffs for the 1st time in 10 years? "It sucks and it's kind of embarrassing," Connor Murphy said. Tonight: No Jonathan Toews at home vs. the Canucks (7:30 p.m., NBCSCH).

Shelf life

Zach LaVine, take a seat for 5-7 days. After that, the Bulls will re-evaluate your knee — and then maybe sit you for good. Kris Dunn, point guard of the future, maybe take it easy too. Last night: 135-102 loss to the Nuggets.

Training wheels

Camp is so fun that Joe Maddon isn't ready to leave just yet. Sorry dude, season opens a week from today. But his Cubs are ready: Yu Darvish feels stronger now than he did pre-TJ surgery and Ian Happ wants to lead things off.

Etc.

We're wheeling and dealing .... What does Kirk Cousins' mega-deal will mean for future free agents? How many billions (with a b) it will cost to buy the Carolina Panthers? And can Rick Pitino land a new coaching gig? Sports!
