In a one-and-done tournament, that’s not going to work. Hunter Dickinson had an idea. The sophomore center suggested a fixed scrimmage against the team’s student managers as part of the morning walkthrough prior to beating third-seeded Tennessee in the second round. Likely without a pick-up game to warm up, the 11th-seeded Wolverines will face second-seeded Villanova in the Sweet 16 on Thursday night in San Antonio.

Tennis – Ash Barty retires from tennis at age 25; won 3 Grand Slams Top-ranked Ash Barty has announced her retirement from tennis at the age of 25. Barty revealed the news in an emotional video posted on social media. The announcement comes less than two months after Barty won her home Australian Open to claim her third Grand Slam singles title. Barty left tennis to pursue a professional cricket career in 2014 but returned to the racket sport two years later. She won her major singles titles on three different surfaces — the French Open on clay in 2019, Wimbledon on grass last year and the Australian Open on hard courts in January. Russia/Ukraine – After Russia’s ban, world figure skating medals up for grabs The top two women from the Beijing Olympics, Anna Shcherbakova and Alexandra Trusova, won’t be at the world figure skating championships this week in Montpellier, France. Neither will Kamila Valieva, the fourth-place finisher whose positive doping result casted a shadow over the entire Winter Games. That’s because all Russian skaters have been banned from competing by the International Skating Union, which followed the precedent set by other sports governing bodies following the country’s invasion of Ukraine. Figure skaters from Belarus also are barred from competition because of its alliance with Russia. The competition begins Wednesday.
