March Madness

Bracketology is here! Teams competing in the NCAA Division I Men's basketball tournament have been set and the single-elimination tournament starts in earnest on Tuesday with the First Four tipping off in Dayton. (Game 1: No. 16 Mount St. Mary's vs. No. 16 New Orleans, 6:40 p.m., TruTV. Game 2: No. 11 Kansas State vs. No. 11 Wake Forest, 9:10 p.m., TruTV.) Locally, the St. Mary's Gaels were selected as the No. 7 seed in the West Region and will open against No. 10 seed VCU at 4:20 p.m. on Thursday in Salt Lake City.

National Invitation Tournament Invites Cal

The California men's basketball (21-12) earned a No. 1 seed in the National Invitation Tournament and will face CSU Bakersfield (22-9) in its first round game. The action tips off on Tuesday, March 14 in Haas Pavilion at 8:15 p.m. PT, live on ESPN2. The winner of Cal-CSU Bakersfield will face the winner of the Colorado State (23-11) Charleston (25-9) matchup in the second round. Because Cal is the top seed, the Golden Bears would host each round until the semifinals, which are held in Madison Square Garden along with the NIT Championship game. Above, Cal's Jabari Bird (23) drains a basket against Oregon earlier this year at Haas Pavilion. Photo by Ron Sellers.

San Francisco Giants

Infielder Jae-gyun Hwang

Fielder Shin-Soo Choo

Pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu

San Francisco Giants Update: While most of the Giants' Spring Training roster consists of familiar names, whether it's from within the Giants organization or around the league, one acquisition from overseas is also a point of interest this spring. Jae-gyun Hwang, a third baseman from South Korea's KBO League, signed a minor-league contract with the Giants in January and was invited to Spring Training. While Hwang's place on the Opening Day roster is still up in the air, he has put up solid numbers so far, hitting .333 with three home runs as of Saturday. Hwang becomes the latest of a string of players from Korea who have joined the Majors in recent years, including veterans Shin-Soo Choo of the Texas Rangers and Hyun-Jin Ryu of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Overall, the Giants had an even 3-3 record over the week, heading into Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks. The Giants are currently without Buster Posey and Brandon Crawford, who are representing the United States in the World Baseball Classic. -- Addison Weil

Oakland Athletics

Pitcher Sonny Gray

Pitcher Santiago Casilla

Bench coach Mark Kotsay

Manager Bob Melvin

Oakland Athletics Update: This past week in Arizona the Athletics faced a few unexpected setbacks, but also saw progress in their preparation for Opening Day. Santiago Casilla joined the club on March 5 and decided to pass on playing the first round of the World Baseball Classic, giving him time to catch up with the team. On Tuesday Oakland scored a whopping 21 runs against the Diamondbacks, including an 11-run sixth inning. However, as the week carried on, the team faced some misfortune. Starting pitcher Sonny Gray suffered a lat strain after pitching against the Diamondbacks, putting a wrench in his plans for a solid start after a disappointing 2016 season. Gray will not throw at all in the next three weeks and is forced to miss his scheduled Opening Day start. In more news, manager Bob Melvin left the team for a few days after his mother passed away Friday evening. Bench coach Mark Kotsay served as the acting manager while Melvin was away. Heading into Sunday, the A's led the Cactus League with a 9-4 record, riding a five-game winning streak along with an exhibition victory over Italy. (Photos courtesy Oakland Athletics.)
