Dallas: Ball is life

🏀Mavericks: Behind a team-leading 36 points from none other than Luka Doncic, the Mavs posted a 113–108 victory over the Boston Celtics last night. HYFR. While we wait for further details on the debut of newly added and extremely vocal guard JJ Redick, Dallas will go for their third-straight W tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. CT vs. the NY Knicks.

🎓🏀MBB: As we mentioned, the Baylor men are making their first Final Four appearance since 1950. In addition to great play from All-Big 12 First Team stars Mitchell and Butler, Adam Flagler has been clutch off the bench, contributing double-digit figures the past two games. We love to see it.

• If the boys can keep up the good work in Saturday’s Lone Star State showdown against No. 2 Houston, Baylor will advance to their second national championship game and compete for their first-ever men’s tourney title. Don’t poke the Bear.

WBB: The bad news? All of our Texas teams were eliminated from the women’s tourney. The good news? We’ll still likely see plenty of Texas Longhorn Charli Collier, the presumptive No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft. Mark your calendars for April 15th, when the Wings — who hold the first, second and fifth (!!!) overall picks — will make their selections.

⚾️Rangers: The Rangers open their season on the road later today, taking on the Kansas City Royals at 4:10 p.m. ET/3:10 p.m. CT. Starting pitcher Kyle Gibson, an eight-year MLB vet, is making his first career Opening Day start. Oh how we’ve missed you, baseball.
