About Last Night
Florida Atlantic continues run, UConn dominates
Florida Atlantic, a #9 seed, has made it all the way to the Final Four after scraping past Kansas State 79-76. Saturday’s Elite Eight nightcap was much more of a snooze-fest, as UConn humiliated Gonzaga from start to finish en route to an 82-54 victory. Our experts cashed both of their ATS picks on those games.
Hawks score 143 points despite Young’s ejection
Trae Young scored only 14 points before getting ejected in the third quarter for throwing a basketball at a ref, but the Hawks still put 143 as a whole in an easy win over the Pacers. Eight different Atlanta players scored in double-figures. The Nets, Nuggets, Kings, Pelicans and Suns also found the winners’ circle on Saturday.
Thirty teams take the ice in the NHL
Fifteen games. Thirty teams. That was the tally in the NHL on Saturday. Among the winners were Boston (what’s new?!?!), Seattle, Carolina, New Jersey, Pittsburgh, Vegas and the Rangers.
