Every Friday, a selection of journalists and editors Athletics will offer recommendations for games, events and shows to be monitored during the weekend.
SATURDAY
male university basketball
Duke to UNC
6.30 p.m. on ESPN
The last weekend of the regular season for high male basketball conferences is in charge of renowned matches, but you don’t have to think about it. It will be the last game of Cooper Flagg in a truly hostile environment until it reaches the NBA, and it is the Tar Heels’ last chance to consolidate their place in the NCAA tournament Before things become desperate in the ACC tournament. – Eric Single, senior editor -in -chief for university football
Nba
Los Angeles Lakers at Boston Celtics
8:30 p.m. HE on ABC
The last time LeBron James played in Boston, we obtained his final merger and Patrick Beverley holding a camera. This time, we get the revenge match of Luka Dončić against the Celtics, the team that beat him in the final. The biggest rivalry of basketball, what more do you have? – Mark Puleo, editor -in -chief of information staff
Sunday
Soccer
Manchester United against Arsenal
12:30 p.m. on NBC
United has experienced better days and spent most of the season to get started between crises. But the story of this luminaire, going up even further than Fight Pizza in 2004always makes it essential. Arsenal looks safe in second place, and would like nothing more than stacking misery for their old rival. – Martin Rogers, head of American football
male university basketball
Big South Conference Tournament Championship Game
Noon and on espn2
For me, one of the best signs of spring at the corner of the street is conference tournaments, where you display your Cinderella choices. This is why at noon on ESPN2, I will be locked up on the male championship of Big South which should present a high point of North Carolina. Last year, High Point lost in his conference tournament as a favorite, depriving him of his very first appearance of March Madness. This year, he will try to get there. It is always a thrill to see these players realize their dreams for life; Especially a year after bitter disappointment. Personally, I also like to check the advertisers that I do not look regularly, so Matt Schick and Paul Biancardi, you are on the chronometer. – Andrew Marchand, Chronicler of Senior Sports Media

Championship match of the Conference of the Missouri Valley Conference
2:15 p.m. HE on CBS
The Ohio Valley conference will distribute the first automatic offer to the NCAA tournament on Saturday evening (9 p.m. HE, ESPN2), but of the five conference tournaments a champion this weekend, the Missouri valley offers the biggest search for budding office pool. Head coach Ben McCollum and his group of division II transfers made the head of the n ° 1, Drake very fun to watch, but Bradley n ° 2 and the n ° 3 in northern Iowa are solid and without foreigners to the projectors of Mars. – Eric Single, senior editor -in -chief for university football
Will we have “UCLA-USU III” this weekend? If this is the case, this is a match not to be missed on Sunday afternoon. (Brian Rothmuller / Icon Sportswire via Getty Images)
Women’s university basketball
Dry tournament championship match
3 p.m. HE on espn
The winner of this game will be the seeded of the NCAA tournament and one of the favorites of the bets to win everything. ESPN is invested: its studio show “College Gameday” will be live from Greenville at noon and ESPN and ESPN +. Then comes the game – a advice at 3 p.m. with the elite crew of Ryan Ruocco, Rebecca Lobo and Holly Rowe. – RICHARD DEITSCH, media journalist
NHL
Seattle Kraken in Washington Capitals
3.30 p.m. on ESPN +
There is a double Sunday on TNT. Ignore it. Alex Ovechkin is the biggest history of sport. He has 10 goals by breaking the career record of Wayne Gretzky, and he is in the middle of a vintage binge ovi (10 games in 12). High drama each quarter work. – Sean nice, Senior writer of the NHL
Women’s university basketball
Championship match of the Big Ten tournament
4:30 p.m. HE on CBS
This could be UCLA Vol. III? That Juju Watkins continues his coronation during his first year in Big Ten, the Bruins capture their first banner in the Cori Close era, or that an outsider continues, it should be good. – Sabreena Merchant, editor of women’s basketball staff
New on demand
Charles Leclerc is involved in one of the most dramatic scenarios of season 7 of “Drive to survive”. (Netflix)
F1
“Drive to survive”, season 7 on Netflix
If you only want to watch a single episode, jump to In the heat of the night Because this is a new approach for DTS to backstage: Five drivers use phones to capture different parts of their weekends, sometimes creating a feeling of video newspaper. – Madeline Coleman, editor of F1
Nwsl
“For victory”, season 1 on Amazon Prime Video
If you are looking for a quick sports frenzy this weekend, I would recommend “for victory: nwsl”. The series summarizes the NWSL 2024 NWSL qualifiers and sets up the drama of the 2025 season which is starting next week. I recommend All longtime fans of the NWSL to participate in tapered expectations. The series only covers the surface of what the league has to offer. Its target audience is very similar to “new fans” while the NWSL continues to grow – but there are certainly small nuggets throughout what Woso fans will appreciate (like Lynn Biyendolo describing the Orlando Pride before 2024). – Melanie Anzidei, editor of football staff
NBA (and pop culture)
“Race point” on Netflix
The “racing point” on Netflix is so fun! He has everything I like about a Mindy Kaling program: a relatively imperfect but adorable lead, a dialogue by Quippy full of pop culture references and an original support cast. More: basketball! Kate Hudson hilarious juggles with players’ chemistry, frank yips and streaming offers, while wearing fabulous costumes and high heels. – Hannah Vanbiber, editor -in -chief of sports betting staff
Boxing
“A thousand blows” on Hulu
As a fan of “ Peaky Blinders ”, I really enjoyed the next project of the Creator show, a drama of 6 episodes of 6 exceptional episodes which took place in the 1880s in London and centered around the transition from the world of brawling to the Brawling at the Gloves. And criminal activity. Lots of criminal activities. – Dan Shanoff, editor -in -chief of sports affairs
