AUGUSTA, Ga. — Fred Couples was so unflappable during the first round of the Masters that not even a sound engineer for one of the broadcasts who wandered down the middle of the fairway as the 1992 champion was trying to tee off threw him out of sync.

2 weeks ago | sportsnet.ca | Mike Koreen

Good work this year, NCAA selection committee. The oft-criticized crew clearly got it right in terms of seeding for the 2025 men's basketball championship. All four No. 1 seeds will battle it out for the national championship at the Final Four on Saturday and Monday at the Alamodome in San Antonio. Auburn, Florida, Duke and Houston have lived up to expectations. The lack of upsets has reduced some of the usual drama in March Madness, but perhaps we're in for an epic finish.

Maybe March Madness will arrive late this year. Or maybe we’ve just entered a new era of the NCAA men’s basketball national championship tournament. For the second year in a row, upsets in the first full two rounds were just a bit more common than snow in late April in Toronto (it happens, but not often). Also missing in action were, apart from a few exceptions (hello, Maryland buzzer-beater), the wild finishes that tend to define the tournament.

OHL Playoffs Preview: London Knights eye championship repeat

1 month ago | sportsnet.ca | Mike Koreen

Once again, the London Knights are the team to beat in the OHL playoffs. The defending champs finished with 112 points, 12 more than the next-best team, and are in excellent position to be the first OHL squad to defend its title since London recorded the double back in 2012 and '13. Those previous back-to-back Knights championship teams, however, did not hoist the Memorial Cup.
