Richard Pitino said he needed the right situation to come along for him to leave New Mexico. Pitino was introduced as Xavier's new coach on Tuesday. With Xavier's past track record of hiring coaches who were former assistants or who had ties to the program, Pitino thought his chances of getting a call from athletic director Greg Christopher would be slim until it happened last week.

Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton says he'll continue using torpedo bats upon return from injury
Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton said he'll continue using a torpedo bat whenever he returns from pain in both elbows, but also declined to say whether he thought using the new model might have caused his injury. Last season Stanton began using the unique bats that feature more wood lower down the barrel closer to the label, shaped a little like a bowling pin. During spring training, he seemed to hint that using the different bats could have caused pain, telling reporters, “probably some bat adjustments," before later adding he didn't know why his injury occurred.

Apr. 1—COLUMBUS — Max Klare was looking for more. That's how the senior tight end who was Purdue's leading receiver last season ended up at Ohio State.

Klare entered the ...

After avenging its previous loss to the Chicago Blackhawks with a 5-2 win, instead of facing another Connor Bedard overtime game-winner like last time, Utah returns home for a crucial five-game homestand, which it must take advantage of for its playoff push. While Utah managed to pick up three points on its latest road trip, going 1-1-1, the St. Louis Blues keep winning, having won nine straight, making Utah’s situation increasingly dire. Utah can’t afford any more losses and will need the Blues to go from dominant to a complete collapse if Utah has any hope of shrinking St. Louis’s nine-point lead to a one-point lead by the time Utah faces St. Louis in the season finale.

So the Sixers sent Martin to Dallas in exchange for Quentin Grimes. “I was really ...

NEW YORK — Giancarlo Stanton embraced the torpedo bats long before they became the talk of MLB. The Yankees slugger used the bowling-pin-shaped bats last season, including during a torrid playoff run in which he struck seven home runs in 14 games. “It’s something that makes a lot of sense, but why hasn’t anyone thought of it in 100-plus years?” Stanton said Tuesday of the torpedo bats, which ...

West Ham underwhelmed for much of their 1-0 defeat by Wolves on Tuesday, but they improved in the second half. A large reason for that was the half-time introduction of Niclas Fullkrug, who returned from a three-month injury absence to provide much-needed penetration at the top of the pitch. Injury has limited the German striker to just 10 Premier League appearances since arriving from Borussia Dortmund in a £27m move last summer, but he would have scored his third goal of the season had his header dipped below the crossbar.

Jorgen Strand Larsen scored the decisive goal as Wolves beat West Ham at Molineux, a win that increased the buffer between themselves and the relegation zone to 12 points. The Norwegian striker has scored three goals in his past two games, but it was team-mate Joao Gomes who really stood out on Tuesday evening. Earlier in the day, Brazil midfielder Gomes signed a new five-year contract with the club, and a few hours later he produced another terrific performance to celebrate.
