Leading up to Selection Sunday, UCLA claimed its 31-1 record had a stronger foundation than Connecticut’s 34-0. The bracket-makers didn’t agree. Three Sundays later, the Bruins made the ultimate case in the championship game:

Lauren Betts and Gabriela Jaquez lead UCLA to a national title with a 79-51 rout of South Carolina

everyone should read this piece Clinton wrote about Everett Fitzhugh and the Kraken. Especially if you're a Kraken fan and want to feel good about the team and the choices they've made about their future as an organization.

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.

He keeps every story I write in boxes in his home. He calls me to ask if I know when my stories make it on the front page of the sports section. It’s an honor to be part of the

People ask me what my favorite part of working at The Post is and I often tell them my granddad. A native Washingtonian, he’s an avid sports fan. When I was hired in 2021, it was a full-circle moment for my family. Serving local readers like him is a privilege.
