NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Geno Auriemma (aw-ree-EH’-muh) is now tied with Pat Summitt for the most women’s basketball titles in NCAA history. Auriemma’s Connecticut Huskies rolled to a 93-60 rout of Louisville for its eighth championship. Louisville was trying to become just the second school to win both the men’s and women’s championship in the same season and the first since UConn in 2004. The men’s team beat Michigan Monday night.
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) – One more day of prep work is ahead for those in the field at the Masters.

The Knicks’ goals include earning the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, extending their 13-game winning streak, beating Chicago for the first time this season, and then chasing, as J.R. Smith called it, “that gold ball,” winning the NBA championship.
UNDATED (AP) – A person familiar with negotiations has confirmed Joe Mihalich (MEH’-ah-lihk) is leaving Niagara University to become Hofsta’s men’s basketball coach.

NYON, Switzerland (AP) – The Union of European Football Associations is ordering Dynamo Kiev to play a European club competition soccer match next season in an empty stadium because of “racist conduct by supporters.” Fans of the Ukrainian club allegedly displayed racism during two home games last year. UEFA says a second stadium closure will be imposed if there is a repeat incident during a three-year probationary period. The club is appealing the sanction.
