>>Final Four Is Set
(Undated) — March Madness is winding down with the Final Four now being set. Top Seeds Villanova and Kansas will square off on Saturday. The Wildcats advanced by defeating Texas Tech, while the Jayhawks topped Duke in the Elite Eight yesterday. Third-seeded Michigan faces Cinderella Loyola-Chicago in the other regional semifinal. The Ramblers are an 11-seed.
>>Jets Pull Offer To Suh
(Orlando, FL) — The Jets have had a change of heart regarding their interest in defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. Team CEO Christopher Johnson told reporters at the NFL owners meetings in Orlando that New York has pulled its offer from Suh. It was reported the Jets had offered the former division rival the most money. Johnson said it was a mutual decision between he and general manager MIke Maccagnan.
>>Giants Owner Speaks About Beckham Junior’s Future
(Orlando, FL) — Giants co-owner John Mara isn’t hiding his displeasure with star wide receiver Odell Beckham Junior. Mara spoke with reporters at the NFL owners meetings in Orlando and didn’t rule out the idea of trading or not extending Beckham’s contract. He’s entering the final year of his rookie deal. The former LSU star found himself in trouble once again during the offseason due to a social media video that went viral earlier in March. It showed Beckham holding what looks like a brown cigar and a white powdery substance lined up in the room with a woman.

Eric Gordon tallied 22, while Gerald Green hit five threes on his way to a team-high 25 points off the bench. Chris Paul sat out with hamstring soreness. Houston is now five-and-a-half games ahead of the Warriors for the top seed in the Western Conference.
