This weekend was the start of the 2009 MLB season and the Final Four in college basketball.

College Basketball: Well the National Championship game is set for tonight. Michigan State gave it to UCONN on Saturday to upset them and earn a spot in tonight’s National Championship Game. North Carolina’s scrappy game helped them beat Villanova to earn the second spot in the title game. UNC and Michigan State met each other earlier in the season which ended in a blow-out win by UNC. Michigan State is a whole other team now and has a chance to take the title at home.

MLB: Last night was Opening Night in Major League Baseball. The San Francisco Giants defeated the LA Dodgers 3-1, in the last Spring Training game of the season. Also, the Atlanta Braves defeated the reigning World Series Champion Philadelphia Phillies 4-1. Tonight there are many games on schedule, with a few afternoon games.

NBA: Lebron James helped his Cavs get away from the team’s first three game losing streak by the hand of San Antonio as he scored 38 points in 101-81 victory over the Spurs yesterday. The Mavericks gave the Suns a hard blow as they won 140-116. With only a few games left in the season, the Suns need to win and keep winning unless they will end up missing the playoffs by a game or two. The 76ers earned a playoff berth with a come from behind victory over the Pistons on Saturday. Even though the Knicks were eliminated from playoff contentions, they beat the Raptors 112-103 on Sunday.
