Zack Greinke (rib) may start year on DL

The young promising season for the Milwaukee Brewers is not starting out entirely as expected. Their star pitching acquisition over the offseason Zack Greinke has injured his rib and will start the season on the 15-Day DL. He injured his rib after playing in a pick up basketball game after one of the teams games this spring. While it may not seem like such a big deal, to us Brewer fans, learning our star pitcher won't be with us to start the year is a little brutal, but hopefully we can stay tough, and fight through those first 2-3 weeks with a strong winning record!

Buckeyes widen poll lead over Kansas

After their huge win over Wisconsin this week, the Buckeyes have solidified their spot at the top of the polls, improving their lead over Kansas even more than last week. The biggest losers in this past week were Villanova (my team), Vanderbilt, Missouri, and Texas A&M, all of which fell out of the Top 25. The top teams following Ohio State are Kansas, Pittsburgh, Notre Dame and Duke. BYU took a huge hit from the loss of one their better players and dropped from 3 to 8 in the ranking. A big winner was Kansas State, the Pre-season number 3 ranked team in the nation is finally showing what they are made of, returning to the Top 25 in the 19th rank, first time since Week 10, which came out on January 10th. I give all teams, especially Villanova, the best of luck going into their conference tournaments this week, as all of America gets ready for MArch Madness to soon begin.

No. 1 Ohio State rips Wisconsin in Big Ten finale

Ohio State, the numebr one team in the nation, showed why tehy were number one yesterday. As a team, they hit 14 of 15 three pointers, including 7 of 8 froim John "Three-bler" Diebler. Afterwards, after the game ended in a blow out, 93-65, Diebler said,"I apologize for missing that one," which led to the entire locker room laughing loudly. After their upset of the then undefeated Ohio State team earlier, the Badgers came in with an edge, but the Buckeye's had home court advantage, and the determination to com eback and even out the season series. They had alreaddy clinched the Big Ten Title from an Iowa win against Purdue, but this game was for pride, and afterwards, the Buckeye's came out with a little more of that than the Badgers of Madison.

High School Basketball Star Dies on Court

At a Michigan High School, the happiness of clinching a perfect season came at a very big price. 16-year-old Wes Leonard died on the court after hitting the game winning layup in overtime to clinch a perfect season. He was able to hit the shot, celebrate with his teammates, shake the others teams hands, and then get carried by his teammates on the court, being the hometown hero for te night, then suddenly collapsed walking off the court. The medics there tried to help, but couldn't do anything, dying in the hopsital later that night. The cause is unknown, and hopefully the team can overcome this obstacle and keep their season going, with Wes in mind all they way.
