March 16 Sports

1. "Apparently Wooden grew up in southern Indiana. His high school team was beaten one of his years in the state HS championship by a team from Muncie" 

      No way that's crazy!


3. The Dodgers are moving Mookie Betts officially to shortstop!!


    Adam Jones and Matt Wieters were at the Orioles spring training!!!!!!!

5. This is the really intense ending to the Pacers Timberwolves game on March 7:

Tyrese Haliburton was feeding everyone down the stretch and keeping them going toe to toe with the Timberwolves but unfortunately the Pacers lost on the insane flying block by Anthony Edwards to end it. 

It was absolutely ridiculous, this is a video with replays of the block:


Haliburton played really well vs. the Thunder on March 12 to take them down, the highlights are really good:


And then the next night things went absolutely insane down the stretch vs. the Bulls, I was watching it and it was so crazy:


6. Manute Bol moved for awhile to Olathe, Kansas, the place I was stranded for several days!!!!

    I randomly discovered that reading his page, I couldn't believe it. His son Bol Bol who plays for the Phoenix Suns now who I just learned about seeing him in the game last night grew up there!! It has a large South Sudanese population apparently!!!

7. Bournemouth came back all the way from 3-0 down on Wednesday to win 4-3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And this came after they came back from 2-0 down on Saturday to equalize it 2-2 in stoppage time, so they did both of those in 5 days!!!!!!!!!

8. Premier League and Champions League highlights:



9. After Arsenal's 86th minute winner on Saturday and Liverpool and City's 1-1 draw on Sunday, Arsenal have gone top of the table!!!!!!! It is absolutely insanely close:

1. Arsenal: 64 points
2. Liverpool: 64 points
3. City: 63 points

With 10 games to go, the top 3 are separated by only a point, and Arsenal are in first on goal difference. Here we go.
