UConn Beats Purdue To Win The 2024 National Championship


The Huskies defeated the Purdue Boilermakers, 75-60, during the March Madness Tournament Final at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Senior guard Tristen Newton led UConn with a team-best 20 points and seven assists, while also recording five rebounds, earning the award for Most Outstanding Player for the Final Four for the second consecutive year.
Four of the Huskies’ starters scored in double figures, with guard Stephon Castle scoring 15 points, center Donovan Clingan recording 11 and guard Cam Spencer scoring 11 points, while also recording a team-best eight rebounds. Purdue senior Zach Edey, the two-time reigning National College Player of the Year, recorded a game-high 37 points and 10 rebounds.

Last year, head coach Dan Hurley became the third coach to lead the Huskies to a national championship, following Jim Calhoun (1999, 2004, 2011) and Kevin Ollie (2014). UConn is now tied with North Carolina with six national titles, trailing only UCLA (11) and Kentucky (8).

Watch the UFC 300 at Hoops Cabaret and Sports Bar in New York City, Saturday, April 13


NEW YORK — You are invited to Hoops Cabaret New York, the world’s sexiest sports bar, to watch UFC 300, in what is perhaps the best fight card ever assembled, on Saturday night, April 13.

The event will feature 12 current or former champions as well as a former two-time Olympic gold medalist and a standout collegiate wrestler.

The main event sees the return of UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira as he looks to make his first defense of the crown against former titleholder Jamahal Hill. Pereira earned the the title in November with a knockout of Jiri Prochazka. Hill was forced to vacate the title last year after suffering a torn Achilles while playing basketball.

The fan-favorite Hoops Cabaret is a great place to watch sporting events, with multiple giant screens, Hi-Def TVs, and its futuristic Mega-Tron Video Wall. Every seat has a clear view of the action.

Hoops Cabaret combines the fun of a sports bar with the excitement of a gentlemen’s club. “We love the UFC,” said Hoops girl Corinna. “And we also love performing on stage and up close and personal for you. Hoops is like a sports fan’s dream come to life!”

Penguins Beat Rangers 5-2


The resolve and resiliency the Rangers have shown in the previous few weeks came out too little, too late in a 5-2 loss to the Penguins at Madison Square Garden, bringing the Blueshirts’ impressive five-game win streak to a halt.
It was the Rangers’ fifth loss since the start of March, when the club went 10-3-1 while facing some of the top teams in the NHL.
The Penguins, who were ranked 22nd in the league and second-to-last in the Metropolitan Division at the start of the game, are not the team they were just two seasons ago — when they lost a 3-1 series lead on the Rangers in the first round of the 2022 playoffs.
But Pittsburgh looked like a team fighting for its pride, while the Rangers didn’t look like they were fighting for anything at all.

“It seemed like it wasn’t our night overall,” Jimmy Vesey said. “Can’t spot a team two goals and expect to win in this league. I think going down two that early kind of changes the whole dynamic of the game. Just a few too many mistakes tonight.”

WWE Will Celebrate 40th Anniversary of Hulkamania


Hulk Hogan fans will have the chance to buy some special merchandise of their favorite wrestler as the WWE is planning to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Hulkamania.
Hogan is one of the biggest names in the history of the wrestling business, helping WWE take flight as the leading wrestling promotion in the world for the last several decades under Vince McMahon.
Hogan first held the WWE Title in 1984 and last won it in 2002. In addition to all of his accolades in WWE, he also helped spark the Monday Night Wars, the hottest period in the history of the business between WCW and WWE when he formed the NWO with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall in the late 90s.
Hogan began to slow down his in-ring schedule in 2003, when he would work sparingly and later had a run in TNA Wrestling. Look for Hogan to make new TV appearances as the company celebrates the anniversary.

Wrestlemania Week


I should have a big heart and open mind regarding pro wrestling. People say that tribalism is a problem and I can see that but I cannot help it. I don’t want WWE to fail but I want AEW to succeed much more. This is Wrestlemania week.

Yankees Battle Astros


Wow, what a game. In 2 games, the Yankees came from behind twice to take the lead from the hated Astros and steal a win. Yankee starting pitching again was good enough to keep the Yankees in the game while showing flashes of what could be, the Yankees again got contributions from up and down the lineup, and for once, the Yankees weren’t the most sloppy team on the field.
The Yankees have a really tough early season schedule, and getting off to a good start was imperative. By winning 2 in Houston, the Yankees need just one more win to win the opening series of the season and will almost certainly leave Houston feeling pretty good. The Yankees even got decent news on the injury front, as it seems that Gleyber Torres avoided serious injury on his HBP. 2024 sure looks different than 2023 for the Yankees so far.

Yankees Beat Astros 7-1


For the second time in as many days, the Yankees staged a comeback victory against the Astros, this time waiting six innings to score before clinging to a lead and then running away with it in a 7-1 win at Minute Maid Park.
On the way there, Carlos Rodon walked a tightrope in his season debut, two-way star Juan Soto survived an injury scare, Gleyber Torres did not, Oswaldo Cabrera piled up four hits and three RBIs and in the eighth inning, a nail-biter turned into a laugher.

Cabrera and Soto led the way in the late-game heroics, getting the Yankees off to a 2-0 start to the season and guaranteeing at least a split of the four-game series.
“You see all the teammates doing big things and just trying to show that we never give up,” said Cabrera, who went 2-for-4 with a game-tying home run on Opening Day.
The Yankees were held scoreless through six innings by Astros right-hander Cristian Javier before they pounced with more tough at-bats in the seventh, eighth and ninth against Houston’s bullpen.

Milwaukee Brewers One-hit New York Mets


The Mets got over-matched by Freddy Peralta and the Brewers bullpen, falling silent in a 3-1 Opening Day loss before a Citi Field sellout crowd of 42,137.
Starling Marte’s second-inning homer provided hope for the afternoon.
It turned out to be the Mets’ only hit. Masters of Opening Day, the Mets lost their first opener since 2019 in Washington.

The homer was Marte’s first since July 4 of last season. It marked the third straight season in which Marte homered in the Mets’ first home game.

Marte’s shot into the wind on this day registered 109 mph off the bat. It was one of the limited opportunities for Mets fans to cheer as the offense stumbled out of the gate, striking out eight times against the Brewers ace and twice more against the Brewers bullpen.
DJ Stewart and Francisco Lindor were the only other Mets to reach base, with walks in the second and seventh innings.

New York Mets to Honor Strawberry, Gooden


The Mets are adding two very notable names to their list of retired numbers.
The team will retire both Darryl Strawberry and Dwight Gooden’s numbers during separate pregame ceremonies during the 2024 season.
There are five other players whose numbers the Mets have retired: Tom Seaver, Mike Piazza, Jerry Koosman, Keith Hernandez and Willie Mays.
“I’m thrilled that two iconic members of the 1986 championship club will have their numbers retired in 2024,” Mets owner Steve Cohen said in a statement.
“Darryl Strawberry and Dwight Gooden each had an enormous impact on our franchise and it’s my honor to continue our commitment to celebrating our wonderful history.”
Strawberry debuted in 1983 and took home NL Rookie of the Year honors.
He spent eight seasons with the team, earning seven All-Star selections and breaking the team record for all-time home runs with 252.

Gooden debuted in 1984 and dazzled over 11 years in Queens, with the highlight coming in 1985 when he won the NL Cy Young Award after winning the pitching triple crown, leading the league in wins (24), ERA (1.53) and strikeouts (268).
Gooden won 157 games in a Mets uniform and posted a 3.10 ERA.
