The record nearly got beaten this week by Max and records are there to be broken. How he took his goal was quite amazing - the balance, the feet, the composure and the strength. So, I may have the record, but he's going be some player.

Ultimately, they made their dominance count on their good days and picked up the bonus points they needed along the way. To concede 96 points in the last two games will undermine their credentials as an all-time winner, but they were the best of the bunch in 2026.

While we talked about this year's men's tournament bracket and the unusually top-heavy crop of title contenders, we also talked about the stuff that will actually make the tournament fun to watch: the surprisingly varied styles of the teams that have been out ahead of the field all year, what a good college basketball roster looks like in this weird moment in the sport, how the transfer market actually works and why, and what has happened to the 5-12 upset.

There was nothing quite like Tracy Murray scoring 64 points for Glendora in the 1989 Division II final at the Oakland Coliseum. Damien coach Mike LeDuc was then Glendora's coach. Glendora lost to Menlo 89-83.

Whether it was Bill Belichick's surly repetition, Ted Williams's ageless ambition, or David Ortiz's unexpectedly poignant f-bomb, New England has enjoyed (or been subjected to) more than its share of memorable quotes in the press. With that in mind, the topic of this year's annual Boston.com March Madness-themed bracket is a simple question: What is the best soundbite in Boston sports history?

Trailing 2-0 in the second period, the NY Islanders got on the board after a puck landed at the feet of Anders Lee, who hammered home his second goal in as many games to cut the deficit to one. Just 22 seconds later, JG Pageau created a rebound after a shot from just inside the circle, following up his own shot that somehow found its way behind Jet Greaves.

Michigan was the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament men's basketball selection committee's bracket preview, revealed on Saturday, followed by Duke and Arizona in what the committee chair called a consensus top three. The Wolverines rank No. 1 in six of the seven metrics on the NCAA teamsheets, also leading the country in combined Quadrant 1 and 2 wins.

Saracens went top of the Premiership Women's Rugby table with a seven-try 45-7 thrashing of third-placed Exeter Chiefs. England's Poppy Cleall crossed twice in the opening 28 minutes before her international team-mates Marlie Packer and Kelsey Clifford went over either side of half-time. Canadians Alysha Corrigan and Julia Omokhuale, and England Under-20s scrum-half Tori Sellors, also scored in the second half for the hosts. Exeter's Hope Rogers scored a consolation try in the 84th minute to ensure the Chiefs were not shut out.

While Tom Wilson, Logan Thompson, and Martin Fehervary are going for the gold in Milan, their teammates will be getting the benefit of some time off to reset for the playoff push. [THN] Congrats to Martin Fehervary on being named one of the alternate captains for Team Slovakia! [TSN, Daily Faceoff] It's hard to believe that the last time the NHL took part in the Olympics was 12 years ago - and 12 years ago we all got to see the moment T.J. Oshie became T.J. Sochi. [THW]

On a Wednesday in the desert last March, Reilly Opelka, the American with a cannon of a serve, was grinding out a tough match against French number one Arthur Rinderknech. Nearby, former US Open men's finalist Kei Nishikori beat Luca Nardi, part of the new wave of Italian talent, while Brazilian phenom Joao Fonseca closed out Pavel Kotov, who reached number 50 in the world in 2024.

Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks on their victory, but all they and the New England Patriots proved is that sometimes the big game is nothing but a big boring slog. Especially compared to the 2025 World Series in which the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers told a story full of drama, excitement and memorable moments over a seven game series that went down to the wire.

Sports are entering a new era and it could be powered by artificial intelligence. Jeremy Bloom, CEO of the X Games, is placing a bold bet on AI to revolutionize how competitions are judged and scored. From reducing human error to enhancing fairness and accuracy, AI judges could redefine the future of professional sports. But can machines truly replace human judgment on the world's biggest stages?

Personalization is a tried-and-tested way to boost engagement while gathering valuable information about existing audiences - and is proving to be a key driver for the sports industry, says Rawnet's Harry Daniel.

It's an amazing golf course, location, [and] venue.
