Kevin Harvick finished 13th and on the lead lap in Sunday's Food City 500, and that's about as amazing of a comeback as you're likely to see at Bristol Motor Speedway. Making up a lap, perhaps two, is difficult. Harvick, at one point, was four laps in arrears. Hot-shooting Edwards leaving Purdue for NBA

Purdue junior guard Carsen Edwards has decided to take his red-hot shooting stroke to the NBA, announcing Sunday on social media that he is hiring an agent and will enter this year's NBA draft in June. Edwards notched a pair of 42-point games in fueling the Boilermakers' run to the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight, and his second of those outbursts came tantalizingly close to getting them into the Final Four. Instead, Virginia held on for an 80-75 win in overtime on March 30. Jackson's layup lifts Baylor over Notre Dame for national title

Chloe Jackson's driving layup with 3.9 seconds left Sunday night lifted top-seeded Baylor to an 82-81 win over defending champion Notre Dame for the NCAA Women's National Championship at Amalie Arena in Tampa. Jackson pumped in 26 points on 13-of-25 shooting for the Bears (37-1), which joined Connecticut and Tennessee as the only women's programs to win at least three national titles. Baylor's previous championships came in 2005 and 2012. Virginia Tech hires Young from Wofford

The seventh-seeded Terriers defeated Seton Hall in the first round before losing to No. 2 Kentucky. Two-handed J to Final Four: The evolution and revival of Kyle Guy

Lee Larkins first got his hands on Kyle Guy as an Indiana sixth-grader who might as well be shooting free throws with his eyes closed. "I shot with two hands, kind of like (motions his hands over his forehead and pushes, palms high, in opposite directions)," Guy, now a junior at Virginia, said Sunday, about 16 hours removed from the heroic game-winning free throws that sent the Cavaliers to the national championship game and Auburn home from the NCAA Tournament. Golf: Ko holds on for first major victory, wins ANA by three shots

Ko Jin-young clinched her first major victory when she fended off a challenge from fellow South Korean Lee Mi-hyang in the final round at the ANA Inspiration in Rancho Mirage, California on Sunday.

Texas Tech, Virginia on brink of national title

A first-time college basketball national champion will emerge when Texas Tech and Virginia square off Monday in the NCAA Tournament national championship game. For two teams unfamiliar with this stage, the idea of cutting down the nets at U.S. Bank Stadium is becoming more than a dreamscape.
