On this day 30 years ago, Mike Legg pulled off the move that changed hockey forever - the goal now known as “The Michigan”

That's a pretty kick butt way to deliver that news.

The Big Ten has 7 wins by 20+ points in this year's NCAA Tournament. That's already the most by a single conference in a single NCAA Tournament all-time.

By getting to the Sweet 16 with a matchup against Texas, Purdue has a 35% chance of making a Final Four. That's the 5th highest odds in the field: Michigan - 77% Duke - 63% Arizona - 55% Houston - 39% Purdue - 35% Florida - 34%

Iowa shot over 70% on 2s against Florida today. No team had ever done that against Todd Golden in his 144-game tenure in Gainesville. Iowa sliced and diced one of the elite rim defenses in the sport.

Duke becomes the 16th 1 seed to defeat a 16 by 9 or fewer points. The previous 15: 0-for-15 in going on to win the national title. (Three Final Four teams, though, including 1986 Duke.)

Michigan and Duke are the top two defenses in the country. They allowed 46 and 43 points each in the first half to a 16 seed. Michigan has only allowed 46 or more in a 1st half twice this year. The underdogs are really punching today!

Remember as you enjoy these conference tournaments over the next week: No team in the modern bracket era (since ‘85) has won the national title without reaching at least the semis of their conference tourney. (There are a couple that were in leagues that didn’t have tournaments.)

Fred Couples (b. 1959) looks set to be the elder statesman in this year's Masters field. He made his tournament debut in 1983 when Sam Snead (b. 1912) made his final appearance. This year, Mason Howell (b. 2007) is scheduled to make his Masters debut. Which means Couples will have competed against golfers born 95 years apart during his own Masters career. This sport is the best.
