Will the No. 1 team in the country, Arizona, slip up and let the regular season title slip away, or will the Wildcats cruise into March with a perfect record? As mentioned above, the Arizona Wildcats ranked No. 1 in the latest AP Poll, lead the conference with a 10-0 Big 12 record and an impressive 23-0 mark overall. They're followed by Houston (AP No. 3), Iowa State (AP No. 5), Kansas (AP No. 9) and Texas Tech (AP No. 16). Some major matchups this week could prove to be deciding factors, beginning with the top-ranked Wildcats taking on the Jayhawks at the Allen Fieldhouse. A win would open the door for another team to make a run at the regular-season title.

Gallery: Haaland strike stuns Liverpool! Erling Haaland scored a 93rd-minute penalty as City came from a goal down to win 2-1 at Anfield in the Premier League. Match Report Dramatic late turnaround earns vital Premier League win at Liverpool Pep Guardiola’s men dominated the opening 45 minutes and the best chance of the half came inside just three minutes as Bernardo Silva slipped Erling Haaland through with a clever pass, but the striker’s low strike was saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson. After not having a single effort on target in the first period, the hosts sprung into life after the break and should have had the opening goal as Mohamed Salah crossed for Hugo Ekitike, but the striker, who was unmarked inside the box, headed wide of the left post. Dominik Szoboszlai blasted the Reds ahead from a long-range free-kick with just over 15 minutes left to play, but skipper Bernardo poked us level 10 minutes later. Deep into stoppage time, Matheus Nunes was fouled by Alisso...

The odds are stacked against Vonn once again — she crashed during a race in Switzerland and ruptured her ACL one week before the start of the Olympic Games. While some would quit, Vonn has confirmed that she still plans to compete in Milan. Here is what you need to know about Lindsey Vonn's events at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Anthony Banda Waived by Dodgers in Stunning Roster Move

Image
The Los Angeles Dodgers, after they claimed catcher Ben Roverdt , have made the surprise move to designate Anthony Banda for assignment. Banda has been one of the more beloved Dodgers among fans and teammates for the energy and fun he brings. However, with the addition of the catcher, the Dodgers needed to move on from one of their left-handed relievers, and Banda was the man who would need to make way. Over the offseason, Banda was awarded $1.625 million in arbitration , though that cost will be passed on to whoever ends up signing him.

WM Phoenix Open has the fifth-most water balls on PGA Tour since 2003

Image
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. ― The closing stretch at TPC Scottsdale for the WM Phoenix Open is strong, but danger lurks around many corners. The short par-5 15th sets the stage for the infamous par-3 16th. The driveable par-4 17th many years decides the tournament and then the par-4 18th brings it all home. Golfers know they have to score on those holes, but three of the four featured some form of water serving as a troublemaker. The 15th has a lake down the entire left side and then a ring of water that mostly encircles the green. The 16th is the lone hole of these closing four without water. The 17th has a sliver of a lake to the left of the green and then anything long rolls down into water. The 18th also has water down the left side, but few PGA Tour pros ever find the wet stuff there. How many golf balls have been hit into the water at WM Phoenix Open? The number is 4,165 at TPC Scottsdale’s Stadium Course since 2003, and that accounts for the fifth-most of any course on the PGA Tour...
