Greiss makes 32 saves as Red Wings top Flyers again
DETROIT -- — Thomas Greiss made 32 saves to help the Detroit Red Wings beat the Philadelphia Flyers for the second time in the four days, 4-2 on Saturday. Rookie Moritz Seider scored a big power-play goal in the third period as Detroit won for the third time in four games overall. Tyler Bertuzzi, Filip Zadina and Michael Rasmussen also scored for the Red Wings, and Dylan Larkin had three assists. Greiss hadn't played since Jan. 9. He was in COVID-19 protocol for more than a week last month. “I thought the game was loose at times, but Greiss played really, really well,” Detroit coach Jeff Blashill said. “Obviously, he’d like the one back in the third, but he made up for it right away with a huge save. He came back well after being off for so long. He controlled the game and pucks were sticking to him.” Keith Yandle scored his first goal of the season for Philadelphia. Scott Laughton had a goal and an assist, and Carter Hart stopped 20 shots. The Flyers lost 6-3 to the Red Wings on Wednesday night at Philadelphia. Back home in Detroit, the Red Wings got off to a fast start. Bertuzzi scored his 23rd goal off a Robby Fabbri pass 5:36 into the first period. Zadina made it 2-0 with his sixth goal midway through the second. Larkin carried the puck from his own zone into Flyers territory and dropped it off to Zadina, who wristed a shot from the slot for just his second goal in his last 24 games. Zadina was moved to the first line with Larkin and rookie Lucas Raymond after the All-Star break with the aim of making him more productive. “I played with him last year and he always works hard,” Larkin said. “He’d be the first to admit he has struggled this year but he’s worked hard with us and it is paying off.” The Flyers broke through with 7.5 seconds left in the second on Yandle’s power-play goal, a blast from the point. Philadelphia was 0 for 5 on the power play on Wednesday. Seider fired in a shot from the point at 9:05 of the third during Detroit’s first power-play opportunity. “He’s had a massive impact, and he’s getting better as the season progresses,” Blashill said. “There’s a part of me that wants to underplay his impact, but he’s been a huge part of our success.” Laughton answered less than a minute later with his ninth goal on a rebound. “We skated a lot better, supported the puck and got out of our zone a lot quicker,” Laughton said of the rematch. “Obviously, it's not the result we wanted, it's tough to lose like that but guys were skating and working together. At this point, we've got to keep building on that and hopefully, get something going.” Rasmussen scored an empty-netter to clinch Detroit's victory. “We put ourselves in a position where we could have come back and won this game,” Philadelphia interim coach Mike Yeo said. “We responded all night long, we just didn't find a way to get that tying goal, unfortunately

West Ham vs. Lyon result and highlights: 10-man Irons battle to impressive draw in Europa League qua
West Ham vs. Lyon result and highlights: 10-man Irons battle to impressive draw in Europa League quarter-final first leg LONDON STADIUM, LONDON — West Ham battled to a 1-1 draw against Lyon in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final, despite playing with 10 men for the entire second half. David Moyes’ well-drilled outfit coped with the possession of their esteemed visitors throughout the first period, before a controversial sending off threatened to swing the game. . A lovely through ball from playmaker Houssem Aouar ended at the feet of Moussa Dembele, who went down, slightly delayed, on the edge of the area thanks to a pull from Aaron Cresswell. The striker winked after the red card was shown to Cresswell, as a raucous home crowd in Stratford vented their fury at the officials. Jarod Bowen unexpectedly put the Irons in the lead seven minutes after the restart - repaying his manager’s faith, with Said Benrahma sacrificed for substitute left-back Ben Johnson, when it so easily could’ve been Bowen. The English winger capitalised on a huge error from Jerome Boateng, converting from close range to send London Stadium wild. Lyon responded 14 minutes later, with the impressive Tanguy Ndombele scoring a simple goal. Alphonse Areola parried a Tete ball across the face of goal straight into the path of the ex-Tottenham Hotspur man, who made no mistake. After hosting their first major European quarter-final in 41 years this evening, Moyes' men face a quick-fire return in Lyon next Thursday. Awaiting the winner of this tie is a semi-final date with either Frankfurt or the mighty Barcelona. More to follow.
Crystal Palace vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League latest score and goal updates
Crystal Palace vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League latest score and goal updates Follow all the action as Crystal Palace host Arsenal in the Premier League this evening. Palace will provide a crucial test for the Gunners in the top-four race. Arsenal are currently in fifth, level on points with Tottenham, but still boast two games in hand meaning the final Champions League spot remains theirs to lose as we enter the latter stages of the season. Arsenal won four of their last five league games prior to the international break, with their only defeat coming against Liverpool. Bukayo Saka has been in terrific form but was forced to pull out of the England squad after contracting Covid. The winger has since returned to training and has been deemed fit to start. Patrick Vieira will be determined to lay waste to the plans of his former side, though, having already blown open the title race a couple of weeks ago. Palace held leaders Manchester City to a 0-0 draw before the break, allowing Liverpool to close the gap at the top, and the Eagles then followed that performance with an equally impressive 4-0 demolition of Everton in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Italy vs North Macedonia live stream: how to watch the 2022 FIFA World Cup playoff online and on TV,
Italy vs North Macedonia live stream: how to watch the 2022 FIFA World Cup playoff online and on TV, team news Italy host North Macedonia as European qualifying for the 2022 World Cup finals reaches a gripping climax over the next week. Just three spots remain for UEFA nations to reach the Qatar finals in November, with one-legged semi-finals followed by finals next week in Paths A, B and C. In path C, Euro 2020 winners Italy are favourites against North Macedonia but that counts for nothing in the pressure cooker playoffs. Make sure you know how to watch an Italy vs North Macedonia live stream from where you are. The teams are in and Italy will start with a front three of captain Ciro Immobile, Lorenzo Insigne and Domenico Berardi. Chelsea midfielder Jorginho starts in midfield for the European champions with Gianluca Mancini and Alessandro Bastoni starting ahead of experienced pair Giorgio Chiellini and Antonio Bonucci at centre-back. Levante midfielder Enis Bardhi captains North Macedonia, who start with youngster Milan Ristovski up front alongside Aleksandar Trajkovski, who has scored 19 goals for his country. Ex-Leeds left-back Ezgjan Alisoki starts at left-back, but up-and-coming midfield schemer Elif Elmas misses out. Italy have won only two of their last seven games and are in serious danger of failing to qualify for a second successive World Cup having missed out four years ago for the first time since 1958. The Azzurri contrived to draw four of their final five qualifiers to finish as Group C runners-up to Switzerland and enter the nerve-shredding playoffs. Coach Roberto Mancini has kept faith with Ciro Immobile, Andrea Belotti and Lorenzo Insigne who performed so well last summer. Naturalised Brazilian Luiz Felipe earns a first call up in defence, where stalwarts Giorgio Chiellini and Lenardo Bonucci continue to defy their advancing years. North Macedonia continue to ride the crest of the wave that took them to their first major tournament finals at Euro 2020 last summer. The Lions won five and drew three of their 10 Group J matches to finish runners-up to Germany, and even beat the illustrious four-time world champions 2-1 a year ago in their own back yard. Former Inter forward Goran Pandev has retired from international football, his heir apparent, Elif Elmas of Napoli, scored that famous late winner against Germany. They shouldn't be underestimated. Either Portugal or Turkey await the winners. Italy vs North Macedonia kicks off at 7:45pm GMT tonight, Thursday, 24th March at the Stadio Renzo Barbera, Palermo.

Michigan basketball wakes up in 2nd half to beat Colorado State, 75-63, in NCAA tournament
Michigan basketball wakes up in 2nd half to beat Colorado State, 75-63, in NCAA tournament INDIANAPOLIS — The chant erupted with 68 seconds remaining. It echoed from all corners of Gainbridge Fieldhouse — "Let's go Blue! Let's go Blue!" — as smatterings of maize and blue supporters banded together in appreciation of the remarkable turnaround Michigan basketball authored. Seven days ago, the Wolverines took the floor in the same building for another lunchtime matinee in the second round of the Big Ten tournament. They controlled that game for 30 minutes before capitulating in a very public, very jaw-dropping collapse that threatened their NCAA tournament chances. But coach Juwan Howard and his team were given a second chance,returning return to Indianapolis as an 11-seed in the South Region against sixth-seeded Colorado State. They had one more game to prove five months of turbulence during the 2021-22 season — which began with Michigan ranked in the top 10 and included a five-game suspension for Howard — wouldn’t be defined by abject underachievement. The Wolverines flipped the script from last week's collapse against Indiana to erase a 15-point deficit to Colorado State with a smothering, come-from-behind 75-63 win. Michigan heads to the Round of 32, where it will face the winner of No. 3 Tennessee and No. 14 Longwood. An overwhelming surge of defensive pressure induced the Rams into six turnovers and paltry 29% shooting in the second half as U-M snapped back to life. Hunter Dickinson (21 points and six rebounds) headlined four players in double figures for Michigan, which shot 60% from the field in the final 20 minutes and made 12 of 14 free throws to down the Rams. Eli Brooks scored 12 of his 16 points in the second half to stabilize the Wolverines alongside true freshman Frankie Collins (14 points, six rebounds). "Being down 15, we could have easily just said, 'You know what? It's time to pack it in,'" Howard said. "But we are not built that way. That's not what the Michigan culture is all about. We are going to compete till the end. I respect the resilience that they showed." Such resolve was vital on an afternoon that began bleakly for Michigan, which entered as a small betting favorite. A slew of self-inflicted errors ravaged U-M's offense in the first half as players adjusted to the absence of point guard DeVante' Jones, who was sidelined with a concussion. Too many possessions ended with Dickinson or Brooks improvising with the shot clock nearing expiry, and the Wolverines turned the ball over four times in the span of 2:22 near the midway point of the half.
TCU basketball storms back from 20-point syracuse basketball
TCU basketball storms back from 20-point deficit to stun No. 22 Texas KANSAS CITY, MO. TCU basketball didn’t panic being down 18 points at halftime. They didn’t need Jamie Dixon to find his inner Norman Dale and give a Hoosiers-esque pep talk. Quite simply, the halftime messages focused on playing better defense and not giving up. The Frogs weren’t going to let a forgettable six minutes to end the first half define their stay in the Big 12 tournament. “I just told them, ‘Don’t give up.’ It’s win or go home,” TCU center Eddie Lampkin said. Well, TCU isn’t going home yet. The Frogs heeded those messages and stormed back to stun No. 22 Texas 65-60 in the quarterfinal round at the T-Mobile Center. The Frogs (20-11) will face the winner of No. 6 Kansas-West Virginia in the semifinals at 6 p.m. Friday. Obviously proud of our guys, how we responded,” TCU coach Jamie Dixon said. “Certainly a tale of two halves, shoot 29% in the first half and 65% in the second half. … Certainly a heck of a response to an 18-point deficit.” Erasing what was once a 20-point deficit is the biggest comeback of the Dixon era. The Frogs rallied from a 17-point deficit against Washington during the 2016-17 season. Thursday also marked the first time TCU has defeated a ranked Texas team, entering the game 0-11 in those games. The Frogs found themselves in a 20-point hole as the Longhorns turned a 20-19 lead with 5:47 left in the first half into a 40-20 lead with a 20-1 run. UT had four 3-pointers in that stretch by four different players (Brock Cunningham, Marcus Carr, Jase Febres and Courtney Ramey). TCU pulled to within 40-22 on a layup by Mike Miles with 26 seconds left in the half, Miles’ first points after starting 0 for 7. And then the Frogs chipped away in the second half. TCU cut the deficit to single digits, 44-35, by the 14:29 mark. A few minutes later, the Frogs went on an 11-0 run, taking a 53-52 lead on a jumper by Emanuel Miller with 6:45 left. The lead changed four times down the stretch before TCU broke a 60-60 tie on a layup by Lampkin with 38 seconds left. That play was started when Francisco Farabello inbounded the ball to a running Damion Baugh who then lobbed it to an open Lampkin under the basket. Baugh had beaten UT’s Timmy Allen with Christian Bishop leaving Lampkin to help on Baugh. “When we took the ball out, Allen, he had switched on (Emanuel Miller),” Baugh said. “I knew they were going to switch and he was going to play me going half court. So I back-cut it and I knew when I turned, Eddie was going to be right there. I just threw it over the top to him.” Added Lampkin: “DB got the ball, my man went up and he just dropped it off to me.” Texas’ Marcus Carr missed a stepback jumper on the next possession with Lampkin pulling down the rebound. The Frogs broke the Longhorns’ press and then Farabello knocked down two free throws to extend the lead to 64-60 with 15.9 seconds left. TCU added one more point on a free throw by Baugh with 4.8 seconds left. “Collectively as a team we all fought together,” said Miller, who finished with nine points and 12 rebounds. “Being down 18 at half in Division I basketball is not easy to come back from, let alone to do that in the Big 12. I thought this team showed grit. I thought we fought together. I thought, as a group, we showed what TCU basketball is about.” TCU, unlike its first two meetings with Texas, won the rebounding battle 38-31. The Frogs also dominated in points in the paint 30-10 and points off turnovers 18-8. Baugh finished with a team-high 17 points, while Miles added 13 points. Miles sustained a right ankle injury in the second half and briefly exited. He returned for the final seven minutes and said he’d be good to go for the semifinals. For Texas (21-11), it was a head-scratching collapse going into March Madness. The Longhorns have dropped three straight. The 20-point blown lead was UT’s largest of the season. UT coach Chris Beard was so frustrated afterward that he refused to give an opening statement in his postgame news conference. “I hate to lose more than I like to win, and I’ve got some guys that I’m trying to teach that to,” Beard said. “Winning is an art. It shouldn’t just be your points per game and your rebounds. It ought to be your wins. “When it comes down to winning time, you’ve got to make winning plays. A part of a winning mentality is you’ve got to hate to lose.”
