Kansas made March Madness history with a 72-69 victory over UNC in the 2022 NCAA Tournament championship game.

The Jayhawks overcame a 16-point deficit (and 15-point halftime deficit) to claim Kansas’ fourth national championship, and second under Bill Self. In so doing, they also registered one of the largest comebacks in NCAA Tournament history.

The game was marked by huge scoring runs by both teams. UNC took its massive lead in the first half with an 18-7 run, at one point going up 38-22, the largest lead of either team all night. The Tar Heels ultimately took a 40-25 lead into halftime.

But Kansas stormed back in the second half, punctuated by a 12-1 run out of halftime. The Jayhawks ultimately outscored UNC 47-29 in the second half to take the victory.

The New York Islanders needed a near-perfect Week 18, but had some disappointing results instead.

Their come-from- behind-win against the Boston Bruins was a dominant one, but the Islanders went winless in their other two games this week. They lost an ugly one in regulation to the inferior Buffalo Sabres, who were able to score a whopping six goals against what’s supposed to be one of the absolute best defensive teams in the game.

The Islanders did earn a point against the Montreal Canadiens but seeing as they’re the worst team in the league and one of the worst in NHL history, the Islanders needed more.

Because these unfortunate instances seem to be recurring, making the playoffs will be a miracle for the Islanders. Someone who’s going to be crucial in this race is Brock Nelson, who was the team’s best player last week.

The Yankees finished off a sweep of last-place Baltimore with a 10-5 win, as the woeful Orioles made five errors, leading to six unearned runs. 

The victory extended the Yankees’ winning streak to six games, as  they completed an undefeated homestand with a second straight series sweep after they did the same thing to Cleveland over the weekend. 

They’ve also won eight of their last nine to catapult themselves into first place in the AL East. 

“Everyone had a hand in wins almost every day,’’ Aaron Boone said.
