A shocker in college hoops and some sad news for the Minnesota Twins kick off the day\u2019s news.<\/p>\n
NCAA basketball news: St. Mary\u2019s pulls off a shocker against Gonzaga<\/strong><\/p>\n Maybe I cursed it when I said the 4.5-point spread felt like a \u201csteal\u201d for Gonzaga. Not only did Gonzaga fail to cover, it lost by a whopping 19 points to St. Mary\u2019s in the WCC title game. Mickey McConnell led the way with 26 points for the Gaels.<\/p>\n So what does it all mean? Well, St. Mary\u2019s qualified early for the NCAA tournament for the first time since winning the WCC tourney in 1987. Gonzaga is still highly likely to make the tourney but, for just the third time in 12 years, it doesn\u2019t have the WCC automatic bid.<\/p>\n MLB news: Nathan may need Tommy John surgery<\/strong><\/p>\n The Minnesota Twins\u2019 2010 playoff hopes took a major blow this morning. He was diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament. He\u2019ll wait two weeks before attempting to throw a baseball again and, based on the prognosis, he\u2019ll decide whether or not to have Tommy John surgery.<\/p>\n The news was more positive for a National League flamethrower yesterday. Cuban import Aroldis Chapman, just 22 years old, made quite the Cactus League debut. He struck out three batters in two scoreless innings and hit triple digits on the radar gun at least once. Some reports say he actually hit 102 MPH with his fastball. If he and Homer Bailey can pan out for the Reds this season, look out.<\/p>\n NBA news: Cavs do it without LeBron<\/strong><\/p>\n Well, this has to feel good if you\u2019re the Cleveland Cavaliers\u2019 supporting cast. Golf news: Couples devouring helpless seniors<\/strong><\/p>\n Look out, Champions (seniors) Tour. Here comes Fred Couples.<\/p>\n The smooth swinger is 50 years old and now Champions Tour eligible. So is Couples a good fit? Well, all he\u2019s done in three starts this season is win twice \u2013 including the last two tournaments. He also leads the Tour in driving distance, sand saves, birdie averages, putting average, scoring average, eagles and greens in regulation. I almost feel sorry for the rest of the old folks.<\/p>\n NASCAR news: Keselowski gets a rude awakening<\/strong><\/p>\n For all the NASCAR fans out there that love a good driver feud and\/or wrecks \u2013 here\u2019s a story that covers everything.<\/p>\n Brad Keselowski had a scary, scary incident on Sunday when Carl Edwards sent his car on a major ride, flipping it and leaving Keselowski visibly shaken. The buzz in NASCAR circles, however, is that Keselowski more than had it coming.<\/p>\n Over the last few years, he\u2019s been linked to many wrecks and accused of being a reckless, immature driver. If you notice no one calling out Edwards for Sunday\u2019s incident, that may be why.<\/p>\n <\/strong> Sports water cooler headlines and sports gossip for Tuesday March 9th, 2010.

It\u2019s worth noting that the Spurs were missing Tony Parker (hand), but Cleveland should still be happy considering it had lost nine straight games without LeBron dating back to 2007-08.<\/p>\n
