COLLEGE BASKETBALL-NCAA TOURNAMENT<\/p>\n
Gonzaga is No. 1 overall<\/p>\n
UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Gonzaga, Illinois, Baylor and Michigan are the No. 1 seeds in the NCAA men\u2019s basketball tournament, which begins first-round play on Friday.<\/p>\n
The Bulldogs have claimed the No. 1 overall seed and will head the West Regional. The Zags are the only unbeaten team in men\u2019s Division I hoops and are trying to become the first squad to run the table on its entire schedule since Indiana in 1976.<\/p>\n
Iowa has the second seed in the West, followed by Kansas and Virginia. Gonzaga beat each of those teams by double-digits during the regular season, including a 23-point rout of the defending-champion Cavaliers.<\/p>\n
Baylor tops the South bracket and heads into the tourney with just two losses, including a setback in the Big 12 semifinals. The Bears spent most of the season as the No. 2 team in The Associated Press poll.<\/p>\n
Ohio State is No. 2 in the South, just ahead of Arkansas and Purdue.<\/p>\n
Big Ten rivals Illinois and Michigan took the other top seeds after competing in what arguably was the best and deepest conference. The Illini head the Midwest Region after winning the conference tournament, part of an eight-game winning streak. The Wolverines are tops in the East Region and own just four losses, although two of those defeats have come in their last three games.<\/p>\n
Houston earned the No. 2 seed in the Midwest and is followed by Big 12 standouts West Virginia and Oklahoma State. Alabama, Texas and Florida State round out the top four seeds in the East.<\/p>\n
Kansas and Virginia made it into the bracket released by the NCAA selection committee after being hit with COVID-19 breakouts during their conference tournaments. Kansas coach Bill Self says three Jayhawks players will not travel with the team to Indianapolis for the NCAA Tournament because of COVID-19.<\/p>\n
Louisville, Colorado State, St. Louis and Mississippi have been put on stand-by. They could find their way into the bracket if a team in the field notifies the NCAA by Tuesday night that it must withdraw because of health concerns.<\/p>\n

Cockburn made the go-ahead free throw with 1:39 to play, Dosunmu made a 15-footer with 50 seconds to go and the Illini sealed it at the free-throw line.

NFL-NEWS-BREES RETIREMENT<\/p>\n
Brees announces retirement at 42<\/p>\n
NEW ORLEANS (AP) \u2014 Saints record-setting quarterback Drew Brees has decided to retire after 20 NFL seasons, including his last 15 with New Orleans. It comes after Brees won nine of 12 regular-season starts while completing 70.5% of his passes in 2020.<\/p>\n
He came back from multiple rib fractures and won a wild-card round playoff game before New Orleans\u2019 season ended with a divisional-round playoff loss Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n
Brees is the NFL\u2019s all-time leader in yards passing with 80,358. His 571 career touchdown passes rank second behind Tom Brady\u2019s 581.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the NFL:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Aaron Jones is staying with Packers on a 4-year, $48 million deal that includes a $13 million signing bonus, according to his agent. Jones rushed for 1,104 yards and nine touchdowns and also caught 47 passes for 355 yards and two touchdowns last season. That came after a 2019 season in which he had 16 touchdown runs and three touchdown catches. Jones and Jim Brown are the only players in NFL history to rush for at least 3,000 yards and 35 touchdowns while averaging at least 5 yards per carry over their first four seasons.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Benardrick McKinney was traded by the Houston Texans to the Miami Dolphins for Shaq Lawson in a swap of linebackers. McKinney played in only four games last year because of a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Buffalo Bills have re-signed offensive lineman Jon Feliciano to a three-year contract. Feliciano\u2019s return means the Bills will have all five starting offensive linemen back for a second consecutive year.<\/p>\n
NBA..<\/p>\n
\u2014 Anthony Edwards scored a career-high 34 points and the Minnesota Timberwolves held on to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 114-112. Ricky Rubio added 15 points, including eight free throws in the final seconds. Karl-Anthony Towns had 13 points as Minnesota started with just 10 players after rookie Jaden McDaniels was added to the health and safety protocols before the game.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Zion Williamson scored 27 points, Brandon Ingram added 23 and the New Orleans Pelicans took their second straight lopsided victory with a 135-115 rout of the Los Angeles Clippers. Lonzo Ball hit five 3s and finished with 20 points for New Orleans, which shot an NBA season-high 65.4% on 81 attempts. Kawhi Leonard scored 23 and Reggie Jackson 18 before both sat out the fourth quarter of the Clippers’ fourth loss in five games.<\/p>\n
UNDATED (AP) \u2014 The Golden State Warriors have ended their longest skid of the season by downing the NBA\u2019s No. 1 team.<\/p>\n
The Warriors had dropped four in a row before Draymond Green recorded his 26th career triple-double with 11 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists in a 131-119 downing of the Jazz. Stephen Curry had 32 points with six 3-pointers to go with nine assists.<\/p>\n
Andrew Wiggins added 28 points as Golden State returned home for a rare Sunday matinee at Chase Center, where the Warriors had played just once over the previous 24 days.<\/p>\n
Rudy Gobert had 24 points and a career-high 28 rebounds for Utah, which became the league\u2019s last team to reach double-digit losses. The Jazz are 28-10 and two games ahead of Philadelphia for the overall lead. The 76ers are taking on the Spurs right now.<\/p>\n
Checking out Sunday\u2019s other NBA action:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Playing in front of home fans for the first time in 368 days, the 76ers stayed atop the Eastern Conference with a 134-99 blowout over the Spurs. Tobias Harris dropped in 23 points and Seth Curry added 21 in the Sixers\u2019 first game since losing Joel Embiid to a left knee injury. Ben Simmons returned from a two-game COVID absence and had 14 points with nine assists as Philadelphia moved a game ahead of the Nets in the conference standings.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Jaylen Brown scored 24 points and Jayson Tatum added 23 as the Boston Celtics coasted to a 134-107 win over the Houston Rockets. It\u2019s the fifth win in six games for the Celtics, who overwhelmed a team playing with only one of its regular starters in Victor Oladipo. The Rockets have lost 16 in a row, one off the team record set in 1968.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Jimmy Butler scored 29 points and Tyler Herro added 22 off the bench as the Miami Heat rallied from a small fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Orlando Magic 102-97. The Heat won their fourth straight game and for the 10th time in 11 games. All-Star center Nikola Vucevic scored 17 of his 38 points in the third quarter for Orlando, which lost its eighth straight.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

VIRUS OUTBREAK-NBA<\/p>\n
Pelicans say some players, staff received COVID-19 vaccine<\/p>\n
UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Some players and other members of the New Orleans Pelicans organization have received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccinations, following changes in the eligibility standards for Louisiana residents.<\/p>\n
The Pelicans said the vaccines were administered Saturday making them the first NBA team to acknowledge a widescale receipt of the vaccine by members of a club.<\/p>\n
State officials in Louisiana expanded the list of those who may receive the vaccine last week \u201cto include people who have health conditions that may result in a higher risk of disease\u201d and are over the age of 18. Among the higher risk groups: those with a body mass index of 25 or more, which would technically classify them as overweight. Many of the Pelicans\u2019 players fall into that category, despite being NBA players and elite athletes.<\/p>\n
NHL..<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Wild put together a three-goal third period to beat the Coyotes, 4-1. Nick Bonino snapped a 1-1 deadlock about six minutes into the third period, just over five minutes before Kevin Fiala added a power-play goal. Joel Eriksson Ek iced it with an empty-netter as Minnesota picked up its fourth straight win and improved to 11-2-1 in its last 14 games.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Andre Burakovsky and Nazem Kadri each had a goal and an assist and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Los Angeles Kings 4-1. Nathan MacKinnon and Joonas Donskoi also scored for the Avalanche, who swept the two-game series with Los Angeles and allowed fewer than 30 shots on goal for the 16th straight game, extending a franchise record. Philipp Grubauer made 27 saves and nearly had another shutout before Kurtis MacDermid ended the bid early in the third period.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
UNDATED (AP) \u2014 The Carolina Hurricanes are the new leader in the NHL\u2019s Central Division, one point ahead of The Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers.<\/p>\n
Dougie Hamilton and Nino Niederreiter provided the Carolina goals and Alex Nedeljkovic made 25 saves in the Hurricanes\u2019 eighth win in a row, 2-1. Hamilton opened the scoring with 4:47 left in the second period and Niederreiter gave the Hurricanes a 2-0 lead early in the third.<\/p>\n
Anthony Mantha scored his eighth goal of the season for Detroit with just 9.4 seconds left in regulation, spoiling Nedeljkovic\u2019s bid for his second career shutout.<\/p>\n
Carolina improved to 20-6-1.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere on NHL ice:<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Islanders ran their winning streak to nine games by getting shootout goals from Anthony Beauvillier and Oliver Wahlstrom in a 3-2 verdict over the Devils. Brock Nelson scored for New York with less than two seconds left in the opening period after Kieffer Bellows notched his third goal in two games. The Isles were able to celebrate a win after P.K. Subban\u2019s overtime goal was nullified by an offsides call on a replay challenge.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2014 Alexander Radulov returned from a 15-game absence and tallied in the third round of the shootout to lift the Dallas Stars over the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-1.

PGA-PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP<\/p>\n
Thomas outlasts Westwood to win Players Championship<\/p>\n
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Justin Thomas found the right time for a near-perfect performance to put a rough start to the year behind him, rallying from three shots behind with bold play to close with a 4-under 68 and win The Players Championship.<\/p>\n
Thomas becomes only the fourth player to win a major, The Players Championship, the FedEx Cup and a World Golf Championship, and it couldn\u2019t have come at a better time.<\/p>\n
He called it as good as he has ever played tee-to-green, and he needed it to outlast Lee Westwood, a hard-luck runner-up for the second straight week. Westwood birdied the final hole for a 72 to finish one shot behind at 13 under.<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n
BRUSSELS (AP) \u2014 Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is urging the United States to quickly rejoin the international agreement limiting Iran\u2019s nuclear ambitions. He says the Islamic Republic\u2019s upcoming elections could be a major obstacle in future talks. The Trump administration in 2018 unilaterally withdrew the U.S. from the nuclear pact. The deal limits Tehran’s uranium enrichment in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. White House officials say the new U.S. administration is prepared to return to the deal as soon as Tehran shows \u201cstrict compliance\u201d with its terms. Zarif said Monday that the U.S. faces having to deal with \u201ca lame duck government” as Iran’s elections approach. He says “it is advisable for the United States to move fast.\u201d<\/p>\n

(AP)\u00a0 Prison guards are refusing coronavirus vaccines at alarming rates. That’s causing some public health experts to worry about the prospect of controlling the pandemic both inside and outside of prison. Infection rates in prisons are more than four times as high as in the general public. Prison staff helped accelerate outbreaks by refusing to wear masks, downplaying people\u2019s symptoms and haphazardly enforcing social distancing and hygiene protocols in confined, poorly ventilated spaces ripe for viral spread. A Florida correctional officer polled his colleagues earlier this year in a private Facebook group about whether they’d take the COVID-19 vaccine if offered. More than half said, \u201cHell no.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
LONDON (AP) \u2014 Facebook is adding informational labels to posts about vaccines as it expands efforts to counter COVID-19-related misinformation flourishing on its platforms. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a blog post Monday that labels will contain \u201ccredible information\u201d about the vaccines from the World Health Organization. The social network is also adding a tool to help get users vaccinated by connecting them to information about where and when they can get their shot. Facebook and Instagram have been criticized for allowing anti-vaccination propaganda to spread and for being woefully slow in weeding out the misinformation, often with fact-checks, labels and other restrained measures.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and their spouses are opening a cross-country tour this week to highlight the benefits of the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan. The road show starts Monday with Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, heading to Las Vegas while first lady Jill Biden visits Burlington, New Jersey. The president plans to stop in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday and he has an appearance with Harris in Atlanta on Friday. Stops at vaccination sites, businesses, schools and more are meant to educate the public about different aspects of the giant American Rescue Plan.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
TOKYO (AP) \u2014 Worry about China\u2019s growing influence in the Indo-Pacific region is expected to be a main focus when two key members of President Joe Biden\u2019s Cabinet visit Japan for their first in-person talks with their Japanese counterparts. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin are heading to Tokyo to meet with top Japanese officials as they try to reaffirm America\u2019s commitment to the region and their alliance after former President Donald Trump\u2019s temperamental approach. The two secretaries are holding diplomatic and security talks with Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi and Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

BANGKOK (AP) \u2014 Shares are higher in Europe but were mixed in Asia as China reported a variety of data that painted a complicated picture of its recovery from the pandemic. Benchmarks rose in Paris, London and Tokyo but fell in Shanghai and South Korea. U.S. futures are higher. The Chinese government reported Monday that the jobless rate increased and investment in factories and other fixed assets was weaker than expected in February, although retail sales and industrial production were strong. On Friday, a late-afternoon burst of buying helped nudge the S&P 500, the Dow industrials and Russell 2000 index of small company stocks to all-time highs Friday.<\/p>\n

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 Jury selection is entering its second week in the trial of a former Minneapolis police officer who is charged in the death of George Floyd.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Freshman quarterback Cam Miller capped a 13-play, 84-yard drive with a 6-yard scramble for a touchdown to clinch North Dakota State\u2019s 21-13 win over Illinois State.
