FORT WORTH, Texas — Hannah Hidalgo had 31 points, 11 rebounds, 10 steals and the assist on the go-ahead bucket in the final minute, leading Notre Dame to a 67-64 victory over higher-seeded Vanderbilt in the Sweet 16 on Friday.
The junior sparkplug made a leaping grab between two defenders and fed a bounce pass to Cassandre Prosper under the basket for a two-point lead with 22 seconds to go.
The sixth-seeded Fighting Irish (25-10) advanced to the Elite Eight in March Madness for the first time since 2019 in a matchup of two of the top three scorers in Division I, Hidalgo and Mikayla Blakes.
Notre Dame will play either top-seeded and undefeated UConn or North Carolina in the Fort Worth Regional 1 final Sunday.

Blakes, the national scoring leader, rallied from a rough shooting start to finish with 26 points for Vanderbilt, but lost the ball out of bounds on the dribble after Prosper’s go-ahead shot, then missed a 3-pointer as time expired.
The No. 2 seed Commodores (29-5) were in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2009.
In a game full of big plays from Hidalgo as she set an NCAA single-season record for steals, the biggest didn’t have anything to do with the categories in her unusual triple-double, the third of her career. Although it did lead to her team-leading seventh assist.
With a high-arching inbound pass coming down as she ran between two defenders, the 5-foot-6 Hidalgo soared to make the catch, came down and immediately found Prosper all alone at the rim.

After Blakes lost the ball dribbling toward the basket for what would have been a tying shot, the Commodores had to foul three times just to get Notre Dame to the free-throw line.
Prosper missed the first of two free throws to give Vanderbilt a chance. Standout freshman Aubrey Galvan, who was a big reason the Commodores were even in the game late, missed a 3 but got her own rebound and found Blakes.
The high-scoring sophomore who missed her first eight shots was off target from beyond the arc, completing a 7-of-26 showing for her as Vanderbilt matched its season worst at 35% shooting for the game.
Hidalgo needed four steals to break Chastadie Barrs’ mark of 192 set with Lamar in 2018-19. She got that in the first quarter and ended the game one shy of being the first with 200 in a season.

She’ll probably hit that milestone in the regional final.
Hidalgo was already just the second player to have at least eight steals in multiple NCAA Tournament games. She had eight in each of Notre Dame’s first two tourney wins, over Fairfield and Ohio State.
Three of Hidalgo’s steals came quickly against Vanderbilt midway through the second quarter.
She grabbed the ball out of Sacha Washington’s hands and went in alone for a layup, then stole a bad pass near midcourt. Her seventh steal soon after led to another easy layup for a 23-11 lead.

Hidalgo, the third-leading scorer in the country, had 16 points at halftime as the sixth-seeded Irish led No. 2 seed Vanderbilt 31-26.
Vanderbilt was 3-20 from the field and 0-9 on 3-pointers midway through the second quarter when Galvan hit consecutive shots behind the arc after a spectacular layup. She flipped the ball over her head as she turned away from the basket, part of a 12-2 run that erased most of a 12-point deficit.
The Commodores were down six early in the fourth quarter when Blakes converted a three-point play and Galvan hit a tying 3.
By the time the World Cup really gets going, and Thomas Tuchel’s senior players maybe have that extra bit of energy from this week off, England might well feel the benefit of this game.
It’s hard to make a substantial list of who else did, though.
Even Ben White, who marked his return with a poached goal, gave away the penalty from which Uruguay‘s Federico Valverde equalised for a 1-1 draw.
There were very few England fans actually left by that point. Some of those that had stayed still greeted White’s goal with some boos, given the debate about his recall. Among that crowd, perhaps some of the children getting to enjoy a big occasion at Wembley benefited. Maybe Marcus Rashford, Djed Spence and Toni Livramento, who had some of the better performances in an otherwise disparate and disconnected team display.
The latter was inevitable given that it was the first time many of these players appeared together, and it made for one of those international friendlies that was occasionally difficult to keep concentrating on. The opposition didn’t even look like a Marcelo Bielsa team on the night, certainly nothing like the one remembered with such adulation by those Leeds United fans present.

There were already a lot of empty seats as early the 70th minute. It looked more than half empty by the time Valverde fired into the corner.
If Mikel Arteta was one of those trying to watch, he certainly won’t have enjoyed it, outside his right-back’s goal. Noni Madueke had to go off injured after 37 minutes – in what may well be the most consequential development of the night. Pep Guardiola would meanwhile have watched Phil Foden get scythed through by Ronald Aruajo, leaving the playmaker writhing in pain.

The only wrinkle there is that Foden is in one of those spells where he isn’t in the same form and consequently isn’t really in the Manchester City team. The fact he was in this team was almost warning enough, given the nature of it.
There would now be real questions over whether Foden will make Tuchel’s World Cup, except the manager has repeatedly made a point of saying he sees him as an alternative to Harry Kane.
As regards being a 10, though? That doesn’t look likely. Cole Palmer also came on to little effect.

Foden, along with some of the other players who have previously been England regulars, must have looked around and wondered what he was doing here.
Some of it had the appearance of a C team. There were quips about the side having two Tottenham Hotspur players, but that is a bit unfair on both Spence and Dominic Solanke.

The nature of the team is of course entirely deliberate, since Tuchel did come up with a creative solution to the problem of an exhausted squad and the need to experiment.
Hence we had this almost game-show style element, where these players were attempting to work together as a team, but were also competing with each other.
All of them were trying to show they should be staying around next week, when Tuchel replaces some of them with the senior players so they can get some fine-tuning in Tuesday’s friendly against Japan.

The problem was that the very nature of the team ensured it didn’t look like the right setting for that.
Tuchel will of course have a different perspective. There will be certain aspects he wants from individuals, and the actual test will be how well they executed specific demands.
Rashford pressed well. Maguire was assured, as Uruguay occasionally tried to play the ball in behind.
Thomas Tuchel’s experimental team selection yielded few answers to which players will make the World Cup squad (PA)
Perhaps the most pertinent question, however, is how many of these players you can actually see starting in the World Cup?
Livramento maybe. Maguire perhaps, depending how the defence develops. Tuchel did want to see him in a different style of back line, but this game just wasn’t enough of a test. When Uruguay did finally lift it at the end, though, Maguire was often there to clear.

There was otherwise so little football played.
England admittedly had a good spell at the start, with the odd flash. It maybe is quite indicative, however, that the game was marked by set-pieces.

This was the source of White’s goal, which also represented the third shot on target of the night.
None of this is to actually criticise Tuchel. He is right to rest his players.
There is something of an incongruity to how low the stakes were for this match, in the middle of an exhaustingly intense club season. That is surely why Arteta will be frustrated.
Advertisement
Tuchel was right to cater for that. He may want his best team to have some fine-tuning, but he also wants those players actually fit and fresh for the World Cup. A week off can genuinely make a huge difference.
As for this experiment of a match, it won’t exactly make much of an imprint on the memory.
Tiger Woods was taken into custody after a rollover crash on Jupiter Island, Florida, Friday, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office confirmed.
At a press conference, Sheriff John Budensiek said the five-time Masters winner was traveling at “a high rate of speed” when his vehicle collided with another car, causing it to roll over onto the driver’s side.
Budensiek added that Woods appeared to have exited the vehicle by “crawling” out of the passenger side.

Fox News contributor Jim Gray said Woods’ crash and subsequent arrest mark the latest chapter in what he called an ongoing “sad story.”

“It is a sad story, and it continues to be a sad story. We’ve all been thrilled with him watching him playing golf. He’s a national treasure (and) an international icon, perhaps the greatest ever. Jack Nicklaus has more majors, but Tiger (is) widely acclaimed, is the greatest golfer ever,” Gray said Friday on “Special Report.”
“To see this happen, not only once but twice, now the third time … and to have been able to survive the last time and to now go through it again, it just leads you to wonder who is surrounding him. Why does he keep getting in these circumstances? And he’s been so great with his driver on the course, perhaps he should get a driver to drive him.”

Authorities said Woods “exemplified signs of impairment.” He blew “triple-zeroes” for alcohol but refused a urine test.
“DUI investigators came to the scene here, and Mr. Woods did exemplify signs of impairment. They did several tests on him. Of course, he did explain the injuries and the surgeries that he had. We did take that into account, but they did do some in-depth roadside tests,” Budensiek added.
“We really weren’t suspicious of alcohol being involved in this case, and that proved to be true at the jail. … But when it came time for us to ask for a urinalysis test, he refused. And, so, he’s been charged with DUI, with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.”

Gray described the incident as a troubling pattern.
“It’s just another cry for help, it’s screaming out. At some point, somehow, some way, somebody has to get to him to get him this help. Get him a driver, get out from behind the wheel. When you’ve had this many surgeries, obviously we see this with professional sports all the time, numerous surgeries leads to just tremendous pain.
“And with that pain you’ve got to somehow try to curtail it, and it leads people down this path. I can’t speak to whether or not he’s gone down that path. I haven’t spoken to his doctor, and I haven’t spoken to him about it.
“But we do know from habits and from the patterns that we see from others and his own pattern, that something is drastically off here. Thankfully, he hasn’t hurt himself as bad as he did the last time, and he didn’t hurt anybody else.”

The Masters begins April 9 at Augusta National, and Woods recently said he has not ruled out playing in the season’s first major.
In the 14 majors since he won the green jacket in 2019, Woods has failed to muster a top 20 finish. It’s his longest such streak since failing to finish in the top 20 in the first six majors of his career in 1995 and 1996. In his last 26 majors, he has only four top 20 finishes.
Since finishing tied for ninth at the 2020 Farmers Insurance Open, his best finish in his 18 official events since then has been a tie for 37th at the 2020 PGA Championship.
“He’s given us so many thrills and so much joy. I think it would be a joy for all of us for us to see him get himself back together. To get through the pain. He’s had surgeries on his back, his neck, his Achilles, his knee … so on and so forth.
“They’ve all added up. Just to be able to see him smile and to be a part of the game and to be around his children and to be able to function normally would be a great joy for us going forward. He doesn’t have to live up to himself and what he’s done on the golf course in the past. That’s set in stone, and it’s set forever.”
Woods has not competed in a professional golf tournament since 2024, when he competed in just five events — the Genesis Invitational and the four majors. He withdrew from the Genesis, finished dead last in the Masters and missed the cut in the other majors.

Gold Coast Titans vs St. George Illawarra Dragons Preview
Parramatta enters this clash aiming to build momentum after a fluctuating opening to the season. The Eels have shown attacking potential but are still working to tighten defensive lapses that have cost them in key moments. Their opponents have been similarly inconsistent, making this a pivotal contest for both sides. Recent meetings have been evenly matched, often producing high-scoring encounters. Parramatta’s ability to generate second-phase play will be important, while their rivals will look to control possession and limit errors. With both teams searching for stability, this shapes as a contest where execution and discipline will be critical.

Reports emerged Friday that the Connecticut Sun have been sold to the Fertitta family, who will move the franchise to Houston.
WNBA insider Alexa Philippou said sources told ESPN that the franchise was sold for $300 million. The Sun would reportedly play their final season in Connecticut in 2026 before moving to Houston for 2027.
“BREAKING: The Connecticut Sun is being sold to the Fertitta family to bring the WNBA back to Houston, sources confirmed to ESPN,” Philippou tweeted. “The team was sold for $300 million, sources said. Team will play final season in CT in ’26 before relocation. The Comets are back.”

PaperCity Magazine’s Chris Baldwin, who first reported the news Friday, said the official announcement of the relocation is expected to be “sometime next week.” A sale is subject to the approval of the WNBA’s Board of Governors.
The Sun will be renamed the Houston Comets, adopting the name of the previous WNBA franchise in the city. The Comets played for 12 seasons from 1997 to 2008. They were one of the original eight teams.
Led by WNBA legends Cynthia Cooper, Sheryl Swoopes and Tina Thompson, the Comets won the first four championships in league history.
In August, reports emerged that former Boston Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca reached a deal to purchase the Sun for $325 million. However, the sale did not push through as part of the deal was relocation to Boston. The WNBA said in a statement that it will be prioritizing cities that previously applied for an expansion franchise.

What are the other details of the Connecticut Sun’s relocation to Houston?
According to PaperCity Magazine’s Chris Baldwin on Friday, the upcoming Houston Comets will play at Toyota Center, home of the NBA’s Houston Rockets. Tilman Fertitta purchased the Rockets in 2017 and since 2024 has expressed his desire to bring the WNBA back to Houston.
Baldwin added that the new WNBA franchise in Houston will have “access to the type of analytical data that the top organizations in sports rely on.”
The Connecticut Sun have played in Uncasville, Connecticut, since 2003 and have been one of the most successful teams. They reached the playoffs in 16 of 22 seasons and made the WNBA Finals four times.
In recent years, the Sun ownership, the Mohegan Tribe, has been criticized for lacking future plans to improve team facilities. The Sun held training sessions at a local community center.
With 11 strikeouts through six innings on Friday against the Athletics, Gausman broke the Blue Jays’ franchise record for most punchouts on Opening Day. Gausman broke the record in the fifth inning with his 10th K of the game.
The 35-year-old surpassed the previous high watermark of nine, held by Roy Halladay and Esteban Loaiza.
Halladay achieved the feat in 2004 against the Detroit Tigers, matching Loaiza’s total from three years prior against the Texas Rangers to open Toronto’s season.
Not only did he break a Blue Jays record, but Gausman also became just the seventh pitcher since 1901 with zero walks and 11-plus strikeouts in an Opening Day start, per Sportsnet Stats.

Gausman had the swing-and-miss stuff working early on Friday, striking out the side in order in the top of the first. By doing so, he joined Halladay in 2004 as the only two starters in franchise history to strike out the first three hitters of the year.
Entering the final season of a five-year deal inked with Toronto before the 2022 season, Gausman had long been a candidate to take the ball on Opening Day, but through various factors didn’t get the chance before 2026.
He had, however, previously made opening-day starts for the San Francisco Giants in 2021 and the Baltimore Orioles in 2017, striking out six and four batters, respectively.
Gausman is coming off a 2025 campaign in which he posted a 3.59 ERA and struck out 189 over 32 starts.

Now in his 13th big-league season, Friday marked the 28th time that Gausman had reached double-digit strikeouts in a single start. He achieved his career-high of 13 twice in 2023.
Regis Prograis has responded to rumours that he has pulled out of his fight with Conor Benn.
Benn made headlines recently when he left Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing to sign a one-fight promotional deal with Dana White and Zuffa Boxing.
The fight in question was announced as the co-main event to Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 11, though the event’s named promoter is Goldstar Promotions.

Benn is set to face former two-time super-lightweight world champion Prograis at a catchweight of 150lbs, dropping back down after two fights with Chris Eubank Jr in 2025. It marks the highest weight of Prograis’ 33-fight career. In his last three outings, the 37-year-old lost to Devin Haney and Jack Catterall before beating JoJo Diaz.
“Listen, it’s not true. I’m still fighting. Don’t believe I’m pulling out the fight. No, that’s not happening. I’m definitely coming to fight.
“Conor, don’t think you’re getting off easy. I’m coming for your ass, bro. I’ll be out there next week. The fight is still on. I don’t know what people are talking about the fight not happen. Listen, that’s all bull***t, [you heard it] from me.”
The card appears to remain unchanged two weeks out from fight night.
Head coach Emmanuel Deutsch has expressed firm belief that Enyimba International FC will not be relegated from the Nigeria Premier Football League, despite the team’s struggles this season.
The nine-time league champions slipped to a 2-0 defeat against Kano Pillars FC on Sunday, leaving them in 16th position on the table and dangerously close to the drop zone.
Enyimba, based in Aba, are currently just above the relegation places on goal difference, with the latest result marking their 13th loss of a challenging campaign.

However, Deutsch remains confident that the People’s Elephant will retain their top-flight status by the end of the season.
“Our objective is clear — Enyimba will stay in the league. I strongly believe we will achieve that,” he said.
Attention now turns to a crucial Abia derby clash against Abia Warriors FC this weekend in Aba. The encounter is seen as a decisive fixture, as Enyimba look to secure vital points in their battle to avoid relegation.

Manchester United will discover the true cost of this decision in the summer transfer window
13:02, 27 Mar 2026Updated 17:04, 27 Mar 2026

Thousands of players have come through the doors at Manchester United’s academy over the years. Some of them make it into the first team, others go on to have relatively successful careers in the lower leagues. For a long time, there were very few who the Reds regretted selling.
These days, there are a couple United may wish they had stuck with. Alvaro Carreras was not given a chance and is now the starting full-back for Real Madrid. Scott McTominay was reluctantly sold to make way for Manuel Ugarte – a decision that becomes more baffling by the day.
Both of those exits were given the green light by Erik ten Hag. However, another deal that was struck under the Dutchman’s watch could prove to be extremely costly this summer. When James Garner returned to Carrington in the summer of 2022, he looked capable of kicking on.

He had been loaned to Nottingham Forest and played a vital role in their promotion from the Championship. The second tier has been used as a proving ground for United’s academy gems for years and, as Amad proved, a good spell in that division can be the gateway into the first team.
And yet, by the end of that summer, Garner had been sold to Everton for £15m. A year later, the midfielder explained why he agreed to leave the Reds. “When I came back to United, I felt like I had a good enough season to have a shot,” he said.
“But unfortunately I got injured on the first day and it set me back two or three weeks, so the manager did not get to see me in training and games. It was a decision where – after having two seasons in men’s football – I wanted to be part of a team and squad, ideally starting too.
“I knew I wasn’t going to get that at United so I made the decision to move here. I could have gone on loan again and come back but I felt I would have been in the exact same position I was then.
Advertisement
“I didn’t want to be stuck in the mud, I needed to make a decision to leave one of the best clubs in the world, which was hard, but it is one I am happy I made.”
Now 25, Garner has matured into an impressive Premier League midfielder. This month, the former United man received his first England senior call-up with Thomas Tuchel singing his praises. “James Garner has just had a fantastic season,” the England head coach explained.
“He’s always available for Everton. He plays in multiple positions – right defender, left defender, six, eight. He’s fast, he has a clean foot and takes all the set pieces. I think he deserves it. He’s a bit of an underrated player.

“I have seen him many times now live and [I am] convinced about his quality and his character and want to see how he does in camp.”
What United would do to have a player like Garner in their prime, in their squad, heading into the summer transfer window. The Reds hope to buy two midfielders at the end of the season.
Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton, Elliot Anderson, Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes have all been linked with United and all have whopping price tags. The Reds will need to spend more than £100m to shore up their midfield.
Garner is proof of the risks of selling your homegrown assets to make a quick buck. Yes, United benefitted at the time from a pure profit sale but the midfielder is now worth considerably more to Everton than £15m and would have saved the Reds millions this summer.

This short-term approach to transfers is something Ineos are looking to address moving forward. But the aftershock of poor decisions from the past continue to be felt today.

Tiger Woods has been arrested and charged with driving under the influence amid his involvement in a rollover car crash in Jupiter Island, Florida, on Friday afternoon. Woods blew a 0.00 on an administered Breathalyzer but did “exemplify signs of impairment” at the scene and subsequently refused a urinalysis test, according to Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek.
The accident occurred near 281 South Beach Road around 2 p.m. ET, police said.
A pick-up truck pulling a pressure cleaner on a trailer was headed Northbound, attempting to turn into a driveway when the driver saw a Land Rover speeding towards him, according to Budensiek. The truck was unable to get out of the way in time, and while the Land Rover that belonged to Woods tried to swerve to avoid collision at the last moment, it clipped the back end of the trailer and turned over onto the driver’s side.
Neither driver was injured at the scene, and no other passengers were in the vehicles. Woods was brought to Martin County Jail and placed under arrest for DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test. He will be detained for at least eight hours as required by Florida law.

Woods, 50, crawled out of the passenger door of his vehicle with police initially recognizing signs of impairment. He explained to officers his string of injuries and surgeries and also submitted to “in-depth roadside tests.”
“He was lethargic on scene, but that was, we believe, because of what he was intoxicated on,” said Budensiek, who clarified that Woods was “not impaired by alcohol but rather some type of medication or drug.”
A photo from the scene published by WPTV showed a Land Rover on its side with police blocking traffic and emergency crews responding.
This is the fourth known car accident involving Woods since 2009.

In November 2009, Woods was cited for careless driving after crashing an SUV into a fire hydrant and a tree outside his then-home in Windermere.
Eight years later, in May 2017, he pled guilty to reckless driving after being arrested on a DUI charge in Jupiter when police found him asleep behind the wheel of a parked vehicle.
In February 2021, Woods suffered severe leg injuries after being involved in a rollover car crash in Southern California. Authorities observed no evidence of impairment or intoxication. He subsequently underwent multiple surgeries and took nearly 10 months to recover before returning to golf.
Woods’ return to golf has been a significant storyline since he last played a tournament in July 2024 at The Open Championship.

The 15-time major champion had been recovering from a torn Achilles when he underwent back surgery in October 2025, his second inside the span of 13 months, to replace a collapsed lumbar disc. He played competitive golf for the first time since that surgery on Tuesday in the TGL Finals. Woods has gone under the knife seven times for his back since 2014.
There has been speculation that Woods could attempt to play in the 2026 Masters in two weeks, but he has yet to disclose his official status for the first major of the season.
