New York: Mets 11, Padres 2
Woah, whatever happened to LOLMets? Colin Cowgill’s grand slam happened, that’s what. Enjoy it while it lasts, Mets fans.

Washington, DC: Nationals 2, Marlins 0
Bryce Harper is good. Stephen Strasburg is good. The Marlins started Juan Pierre in left field. The Marlins stink.

New York: Knicks 108, Celtics 89
So, the Knicks have won eight straight, and Tyson Chandler hasn’t even returned from injury yet. This could be a very fun playoff team.

Pittsburgh: Sidney Crosby gets surgery on broken jaw
So much for everything breaking the Pens’ way. Crosby will be out indefinitely after undergoing surgery to repair the broken jaw that he suffered on Saturday.

San Antonio: Heat 88, Spurs 86
The Heat won this one despite not having the services of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, or Mario Chalmers. They still had Chris Bosh, though, and he did this:

Oklahoma City: Louisville 82, Baylor 81
This was by far the biggest upset of the weekend. Baylor had won 32 straight games and 74 out of the last 75 games in which Brittney Griner played. Griner finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds, and was very sad after the game.

Houston: Astros 8, Rangers 2
Baseball is back, and it’s time to break up the Astros! Some guy you’ve never heard of named Justin Maxwell did most of the damage, and Rick Ankiel(!) came off the bench to smack a three-run homer.

Arlington: Michigan 79, Florida 59
Michigan is headed to the Final Four for the first time since the Fab Five era. The game itself was boring, as Michigan got out to a big lead early, and never let up. This guy was there, though, so that was fun.

Indianapolis: Louisville 85, Duke 63
Louisville managed to bounce back from that horrible, disgusting thing that happened and hang 50 on the Blue Devils in the second half. They’ll get Wichita State in the Final Four.

For all of you people bitching about the lack of 90-win teams, you can find a more accurate list of projections on BP's depth charts page. The projections we used, which came from the playoff odds page, are a more compressed version of what's on the depth charts page. Our bad. Read more

Dallas: Pacers 103, Mavericks 78
The Mavs just can't seem to claw their way back to .500. This loss puts them at 35-37, and guarantees that The Beard will live on to fight another day.

Pittsburgh: Penguins 4, Jets 0
The Pens continue their march of destruction through the rest of the league, winning a 14th straight game. Evgeni Malkin returned to the lineup, and recent trade acquisition Jarome Iginla is expected to join the team this weekend. It's all gravy in Pittsburgh.

Milwaukee: Bucks 113, Lakers 103
The Lakers continue to be old and awful. Our favorite referee troll, Larry Sanders, scored a career-high 21 points to go along with 13 rebounds.

Los Angeles: Wichita St. 72, La Salle 58
La Salle's dream may have ended, but the Southwest Philly Floater will live on forever. Never forget, you guys.

Washington, DC: Syracuse 61, Indiana 50
Someone should have definitely told Indiana that Syracuse likes to play zone. This game was gross and stupid thanks to the Hoosiers' ineptitude, and now we're stuck watching the Orange use their cowardly defensive scheme for at least one more game.

Los Angeles: Ohio State 73, Arizona 70
This game provided the only real excitement of last night's action, thanks to this ridiculous game-winner from LaQuinton Ross. He has all of the onions.

Washington, DC: Marquette 71, Miami 61
The Hurricanes just couldn't do anything to stop Marquette's offense. The Golden Eagles shot 54 percent from the field and got 40 of their 71 points in the paint. They face Syracuse in the Elite Eight.

Richmond: Shaka Smart stays at VCU
Smart turned down offers from Minnesota and UCLA to stay at the program he built into a perennial tournament team. His new contract runs all the way to 2023, so he'll be around for a while.
