SPOKANE, Wash. — Paige Bueckers exited the game with just more than three minutes to play against Oklahoma to a raucous ovation that made the arena in Spokane — nearly 2,700 miles from Connecticut’s home court in Storrs — sound like it was right in Bueckers’ backyard. She had played just seven minutes in the fourth quarter, outscoring the entire Oklahoma team 19-13 in that quarter, tallying nearly half of her career-best 40 points on the night in that span.

NEW YORK — The New York Yankees’ bats were certainly alive during Saturday’s 20-9 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. And some of them looked a bit different than usual — though the league says they’re legal.Early in the game, in which the team hit a franchise-record nine home runs, YES Network’s play-by-play broadcaster Michael Kay mentioned that several Yankees players were using newly designed bats, including shortstop Anthony Volpe and second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., who both homered in the game. These bats feature a barrel closer to the hands rather than near the end of the bat, which is the…

And when they did, their celebration — remarkably demure for advancing to the Elite Eight — reflected a team that still has a lot left to prove.“This team is really focused on continuing our journey and achieving our goals even though the path looks a little different…
