MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Chicago White Sox 5, Minnesota Twins 4 Chicago Cubs 3, Seattle Mariners 2 – 10 Innings Tigers were off White Sox 5, Twins 4 – White Sox lose Anderson but hold on to beat Twins 4-3 Hanser Alberto hit a three-run homer, Dylan Cease had another strong outing against the Minnesota Twins and the Chicago White Sox held on to beat Minnesota 4-3. Chicago had to remove shortstop Tim Anderson in the sixth inning with left knee soreness after he collided with a baserunner. Cease, the American League Cy Young runner-up last season, gave up three runs but only one was earned after three errors by the White Sox. Cease allowed three hits with six strikeouts in five innings. Kenta Maeda surrendered four runs on eight hits in six innings for Minnesota. Cubs 3, Mariners 2 – F/10 – Hoerner’s single in 10th inning lifts Cubs past Mariners 3-2 Nico Hoerner’s soft single off Matt Brash with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning scored pinch-runner Nick Madrigal and gave the Chicago Cubs a 3-2 win over the Seattle Mariners. Jarred Kelenic hit a game-tying home run off closer Michael Fulmer with one out in the ninth that wiped out a sterling performance from Cubs left-hander Drew Smyly. Smyly pitched five innings of two-hit ball and struck out seven. Cubs center fielder Cody Bellinger fouled off four consecutive pitches before hitting a game-tying double in the fourth to snap Luis Castillo’s scoreless streak at 14 2/3 innings. Eric Hosmer followed later with an opposite-field single to left that scored Bellinger. Hosmer is 12 for 18 lifetime against Castillo. Tonight Detroit (Manning 1-0) at Toronto (Manoah 1-0), 7:37 p.m.,        News/Talk/Sports 94.9 WSJM 7:10 Chicago White Sox (Lynn 0-1) at Minnesota (López 1-0), 7:40 p.m. Seattle (Flexen 0-1) at Chicago Cubs (Wesneski 0-0), 7:40 p.m. MLB – White Sox trade reliever Ruiz to Diamondbacks for $100,000 The Chicago White Sox have traded veteran reliever José Ruiz to Arizona on Sunday in exchange for $100,000. The White Sox designated the 28-year-old Ruiz for assignment following a difficult start to the season. Ruiz allowed nine runs on eight hits with four walks and three strikeouts in 3 2/3 innings across four appearances for Chicago. Ruiz spent five-plus with the White Sox, who claimed him off waivers from San Diego in December 2017. Ruiz went 3-7 with a 4.53 ERA in 177 appearances for Chicago. NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Dallas Stars 6, Detroit Red Wings 1 Minnesota Wild 4, Chicago Blackhawks 2 Stars 6, Red Wings 1 – Pavelski records 1,000th career point as Stars trounce Wings Joe Pavelski notched his 1,000th career point with a second-period goal, Roope Hintz had a goal and three assists and the Dallas Stars thumped the Detroit Red Wings 6-1 on Monday night. Pavelski, playing in his 1,248th game, became the 10th American-born player to reach the milestone when he tipped Miro Heiskanen’s shot from the point. The Stars, who have won four straight, tied idle Colorado for the Central Division lead with two games remaining. Jason Robertson supplied a goal and two assists. Esa Lindell, Ty Dellandrea and Jamie Benn also scored for the Stars. David Perron scored for the Red Wings, who were playing their home finale. Wild 4, Blackhawks 2 – Johansson helps Wild rally for 4-2 victory over Blackhawks Marcus Johansson scored two goals late in the third period, and the short-handed Minnesota Wild beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-2. Matt Boldy and Gustav Nyquist also scored for Minnesota in its second consecutive win. Filip Gustavsson made 39 saves in his second straight start. Johansson’s 18th goal — a wrist shot on a 2-on-1 with 6 minutes left — tied it at 2. It was the Wild’s 14th short-handed goal of the season, breaking the franchise record. Johansson then put Minnesota in front when he got a nice pass from Boldy and beat Alex Stalock on the glove side with 3:13 left. Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Carolina Hurricanes, 7:00 p.m. Chicago Blackhawks at Pittsburgh Penguins, 7:30 p.m. NBA – National Basketball Association Tonight NBA Play In Tournament Atlanta Hawks at Miami Heat, 7:30 p.m. Minnesota Timberwolves at Los Angeles Lakers, 10:00 p.m. NBA – Play-in tournament starts Tuesday, giving 8 teams new life Getting to the play-in tournament probably wasn’t the goal of any team when training camps opened back in September. But it beats the alternative. There are 12 teams with playoff spots right now, 10 teams whose seasons are over and eight teams with a second chance. The play-in tournament starts Tuesday, with Atlanta going to Miami and Minnesota visiting the Los Angeles Lakers. The winners of those games will be going to the postseason. Oklahoma City goes to New Orleans and Chicago visits Toronto on Wednesday for elimination games. The winners there move on to face the loser of Tuesday’s games in another win-or-go-home contest. NBA – Pistons search for coach, hope to draft Victor Wembanyama The Detroit Pistons are searching for a coach and hoping their new leader has Victor Wembanyama in the lineup. Detroit closed its fourth straight season and 12th in 14 years without a postseason appearance on Sunday with a lopsided loss at Chicago. After finishing an NBA-worst 17-65, Dwane Casey announced he was stepping down with one year left on his coaching contract to accept a role in the Troy Weaver-led front office. Casey was hired by the Pistons in 2018 as the reigning NBA Coach of the Year led them to the playoffs in his first season with the franchise. WNBA – WNBA adding charter flights for playoffs, back-to-back games The WNBA is adding charter flights for the entire playoffs and back-to-back regular season games this year. The league announced Monday it will pay for all of the flights. The cost is expected to be around $4.5 million, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because details haven’t been publicly released. The league chartered for the WNBA Finals as well as for the road team in the Commissioner Cup championship game last year. As for Brittney Griner, the WNBA says it has plans for her travel but would like to keep them "confidential." WNBA – Boston heads to Fever as No. 1 pick in WNBA draft Aliyah Boston is the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft, going to the Indiana Fever. It’s the first time that the Fever have had the top choice in the draft and they chose the South Carolina star. Boston, a three-time AP All-American who also was the Player of the Year as a junior, will solidify the post for Indiana. The Fever had the worst record in the league last season, going 5-31. Boston was one of four South Carolina players expected to be taken in the first two rounds of the draft. Minnesota took Diamond Miller with the No. 2 pick and Dallas drafted Maddy Siegrist with the third pick. NCAAMBB – Michigan State guard Tyson Walker returning for 5th season Michigan State standout Tyson Walker is returning for his fifth season. Walker announced his decision Monday with an Instagram post, giving a boost to coach Tom Izzo’s chances of contending for a title. The 6-foot-1 guard averaged a team-high 14.8 points and ranked second with nearly three assists per game. Walker attended Northeastern for two years before transferring and playing for the Spartans the past two seasons. He is eligible for a fifth season because the NCAA granted college athletes an extra year if they were enrolled two years ago when the COVID-19 pandemic began.

On this week's episode, we first broke the news that Allison is the recipient of a Fulbright award for an English Teaching Assistantship in Greece this Fall. Congratulations, Allison! Inspired by Reddit users once again, the crew talked about everyday items that are basically useless and their behavior after enduring a sudden episode of pain. The mind bender featured MLB-themed trivia, in honor of opening day. Did David remember the 2015 opening day Phils' lineup? Our special guest, Kat Collins, a Civil Engineering major and the Director of Live Entertainment in Campus Activities Team's Department of Late Night Programming, previewed the Battle of the Bands happening at the Oreo Friday Night. Sports featured a full MLB preview, and we gave Maddy Siegrist and the Villanova Women's Basketball team one final salute for their outstanding season! The Morning Roar will be on hiatus for Easter break next Friday - have a wonderful Easter and we'll see you again on April 14.

Today's episode was much longer, and for good reason. I'll discuss Providence officially introducing their new head basketball coaches at Alumni Hall and WNBA mock drafts as Maddy Siegrist officially declared for the WNBA Draft earlier this week!

Friday was eventful for the Big East as Villanova WBB ALMOST pulled off a comeback for the ages before falling short in what seemed to be Maddy Siegrist's final college game while Creighton MBB beat Princeton to advance to their first Elite Eight in program history (1941 doesn't count.) I'll recap that, as well as Xavier's loss to Texas, and preview today's games as both UConn teams are in action with the women facing Ohio State in the Sweet 16 in Seattle and the men facing Gonzaga in Vegas for the right to go to the Final Four!

The crew delivered another action packed episode of the Morning Roar. We had a juicy Twitter poll question, asking you which host's saga you found most compelling? Allison went into details of her efforts as WXVU Station Manager to get the station played in the Connelly Center! The crew also discussed silly things they believed when they were younger, and kicked around which restaurant they'd most likely to be seen at after escaping from jail. IHOP, indeed, is a candidate. The mind bender featured some March Madness trivia! Yes, Dom may have gotten some cupcakes this time around, but did David remember Scottie Reynolds' floater in 2009? Our guests at 8:30 were Simran Mishra, a sophomore Finance and Management Information Systems major, who is the VISO (Villanova International Student Organization Senator), and Marisa Somich, Villanova's Student Involvement Advisor, who came by to discuss the Holi festival happening at the Oreo on Sunday. And last but not least, at 8:45, we were joined by our broadcast crew of Jacob Artz and Zac Tipton, live from Greenville, SC! The guys gave us an excellent breakdown of the Villanova-Miami Sweet 16 NCAA Tournament matchup, the first time the women's team has made the Sweet 16 since 2003. They also discussed Maddy Siegrist's place in Villanova basketball history, and detailed their experience of calling women's games for WXVU this historic season.
