Mid-Major Men's Scoreboard
No. 2 Alabama 80, No. 7 Saint Mary's 66 — East Region
Chris Youngblood (Alabama) - 13 points, 4-of-5 FG
Mitchell Saxen (Saint Mary's) - 15 points, five rebounds, three steals
Harry Wessels (Saint Mary's) - 12 points, eight rebounds, three blocks
Nate Oats' Crimson Tide took a lead midway through the first half and never relinquished it, keeping the Gaels at bay. It might've been a different story on another day — Saint Mary's dominated the rebounding and turnover battle, but an ugly 34% from the field and 21% from three spelled the end for the WCC's regular-season champs. Star guard Augustas Marciulionis couldn't get going, sputtering to a 3-of-11 night, and nobody else outside of Saxen could pick up the slack enough to make a late surge.
No. 4 Maryland 72, No. 12 Colorado State 71 - West Region
Derik Queen (Maryland) - 17 points, six rebounds, two blocks
Nique Clifford (Colorado State) - 21 points, seven rebounds, six assists
Jalen Lake (Colorado State) - 13 points, two rebounds, two assists

When Jalen Lake's deep, lead-taking 3-pointer splashed through the hoop with six seconds remaining, it stood out not just as the moment of the night, but maybe the moment of the Tournament so far.
Moments later, when Derik Queen's buzzer-beating layup kissed sweetly off the glass and through the mesh, Lane's jumper had been upstaged — in both respects. For the Rams, instead of a cathartic, now-you-see-me-now-you-don't ticket punch to the Sweet 16, it was heartbreak, as they looked on with dejected faces while Maryland snatched their season out from under their noses in the rudest way possible.
CSU, like Saint Mary's, didn't cower against powerful opposition, winning the rebound battle handily. It was the 3-point shot (24%) that did them in, and Maryland's 'Crab Five' (all of whom scored in double digits) did just enough to take advantage.
No. 2 Michigan State 71, No. 10 New Mexico 63 — South Region
Jaden Akins (Michigan State) - 16 points, 7-of-11 FG
Nelly Junior Joseph (New Mexico) - 16 points, seven rebounds, 7-of-9 FG
Donovan Dent (New Mexico) - 14 points, six assists, 7-of-18 FG

It wasn't a banner weekend for the Pitino family; Rick's St. John's fell to Arkansas on Saturday before he flew across the country to watch Michigan State eliminate Richard's New Mexico. (Rick looking on as his son suffered the same fate he did had some real A Bronx Tale feel to it, admittedly.)
On the court, the Lobos took control, opening up a 10-point cushion in the first half before the athletic, deep Spartan roster slowly started to wrest control. A huge Akins three late in the second half gave Michigan State the cushion they needed, and Junior Joseph's fifth foul moments later sealed the deal. New Mexico looked the part of a rival, but sent MSU to the free throw line 28 times — and Dent's subpar night wasn't enough to keep the last mid-major in the tournament.

Richmond hung really tough with the top-overall seed. The Spiders led by two after the first quarter and were tied at halftime. The Atlantic 10 regular-season champions shot a scorching 65% (15-of-23) and 73% (8-of-11) from deep in the opening 20 minutes. It looked as though an upset was brewing in Westwood.
But it was not to be. The Bruins outscored the Spiders 29-7 in the third quarter, which included separate runs of 10 and 13 straight points. Richmond shot 20% (3-for-15) with five turnovers, while UCLA converted on 55% (11-for-20) of its shots.

Action! Derrick Henry can parlay a 2,000-yard rushing season into a movie cameo with Adam Sandler
BALTIMORE (AP) — 'King Henry' finally has the attention of 'The Waterboy.' Baltimore Ravens star running back Derrick Henry has an offer from Adam Sandler, his favorite actor, to be cast in a movie if the five-time Pro Bowl selection rushes for 2,000 yards this season. The offer grew out of Henry's appearance on radio personality Dan Patrick's show this week to discuss his $30 million, two-year contract extension. Patrick told Henry he would get him in a Sandler movie if he made NFL history with a second 2,000-yard season. Two days later, Sandler made the offer himself in a video shown to Henry on the practice field. 'That's my dawg,' a wide-smiling Henry said while watching the video. Sandler, star of 'Happy Gilmore' and the remake of 'The Longest Yard' along with 'The Waterboy,' said he was in a hotel room while filming his greeting for Henry. At one point, Sandler turned the camera to show his bulldog. 'Two thousand yards-plus this year not only gets you in a movie, but we'll have a nice dinner together and talk about Dan Patrick's facial hair and how hard it is for him to grow it,' Sandler joked in a video posted Friday. 'I love ya and keep it up.' Sandler came up during Patrick's interview with Henry because Patrick was hearing a hoodie for the soon-to-be-released 'Happy Gilmore 2.' Sandler had given Patrick the hoodie. 'Can you do me a favor?' Henry asked Patrick. 'If you ever see him again, tell him I'm a really big fan and would really love to meet him one day.' Patrick left Sandler a voice message — and Sandler responded. 'Dan you're a real one!' Henry later wrote on social media. Henry rushed for 2,027 yards with Tennessee in 2020, when he was an All-Pro and the AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year in the fifth of his eight seasons with the Titans. Henry nearly did it again as a 30-year-old in a resurgence with the Ravens last season, when he ran for 1,921 yards. Saquon Barkley of the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles led the NFL with 2,005 yards. ___ AP NFL:

At LIV Virginia, the vibe is different — but the leaders are familiar
Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Cam Smith strolled up the first fairway at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club early Friday afternoon while AC/DC's 'Thunderstruck' thumped through speakers surrounding the No. 1 tee box. Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm and Joaquin Niemann followed, receiving raucous applause as 'Luther' by Kendrick Lamar and SZA blared. Cedric the Entertainer and pro wrestler Titus O'Neil made their way through the crowded gallery to catch a glimpse of the first two groups in the opening round at LIV Golf Virginia. The two posed for pictures and high-fived eager fans. The entire scene bucked traditional golf protocol, which is exactly the blueprint for the Saudi-financed circuit attempting to differentiate itself from and compete against the PGA Tour. What's familiar are the names who occupied the higher rungs of the leader board following a weather delay of nearly two hours in Gainesville, Virginia. DeChambeau, for instance, was sharp upon resumption of play, gaining four shots over his first six swings and finishing tied with Martin Kaymer for the lead at 5-under 66. 'It's one of those things, you come back from a rain delay, you usually think you're going to try and slowly get into the flow,' said DeChambeau, the winner of the previous LIV Golf event in South Korea in early May before a month-long break entering this week. 'I came out hot.' Rahm and Phil Mickelson, who turns 55 this month, were among other major championship winners lurking one stroke back in LIV's second stop in the region. The initial visit, named LIV Golf DC, took place at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, in 2023. One year earlier, LIV Golf conducted its inaugural season with just seven events worldwide after having pilfered a handful of marquee players from the PGA Tour. Mickelson, a critic of golf's longtime governing body, was an early advocate for the breakaway league that offered lucrative contracts to lure other major titleholders, notably DeChambeau, the reigning and two-time U.S. Open champion. The USGA, which stages the U.S. Open, this year added an exemption for LIV players, making it the first major championship to do so. Niemann, winner of three events this season, secured that exemption for next week at Oakmont by virtue of being the top player on the tour as of the May 19 cutoff date. The R & A, which operates the British Open, also added a pathway for LIV members to get into the field in the fourth and final major championship of the year at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. The exemption goes to the leading player in the top five not already exempt at the conclusion of the LIV event in Dallas on June 29. Those organizations had declined to offer exemptions in years past because of LIV's tournaments last 54 holes, 18 fewer than on the PGA Tour. LIV also awards points to its 13 teams as well as individuals during its schedule comprising 14 events over six-plus months. Three-round tournaments with shotgun starts, however, have led to LIV players becoming ineligible for inclusion in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR), which provides an exemption into the U.S. Open, among other majors, to those inside the top 60 who otherwise would not be eligible by the June 9 cutoff date. Underscoring LIV's nonconformity was what followed when Matthew Wolff withdrew from this tournament after eight holes because of injury. Replacement Ollie Schniederjans joined the field and made birdies on his first two holes, but his scores counted only toward the team total for RangeGoats, captained by Bubba Watson. The two-time Masters champion (2012, '14) stood 2 under and his team was tied for first place with 4Aces when play was suspended at 3:58 p.m. with severe weather moving through the majestic layout along Lake Manassas that most recently hosted last year's Solheim Cup. By the time the horn sounded to resume play, greens that were firm and slick when players teed off in sunny and humid conditions had softened, allowing them to go after pins they otherwise might not have considered taking on aggressively. 'I was able to come out and hit some good shots,' said Mickelson, who began his round at No. 3 and spent part of the delay working with a physical therapist. 'I hit a good shot into 18 and made birdie, so I was able to get my body moving. That's the biggest challenge for me.' DeChambeau immediately took advantage of the more inviting greens as well. One his first stroke following resumption of play, he curled home a 20-foot chip for eagle at the par-5 No. 14, a 615-yard behemoth where Rahm made birdie to join DeChambeau at 3 under and move within a shot of what was then a four-way tie for the lead. DeChambeau went on to make a birdie putt at No. 15 and chipped in for birdie at the par-3 16th to claim the solo lead for the first time. 'You could attack it a little [more], but the greens were still firm,' DeChambeau said. 'It wasn't like it softened it completely. . . . So it impacted a little bit, but it made the chip shot on 14 a lot easier.'
