Imari Berry's 22 points, 10 rebounds lead No. 12 Louisville women past No. 16 North Carolina 65-57

DULUTH, Ga. (AP) — Imari Berry scored 22 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead No. 12 Louisville past No. 16 North Carolina 65-57 in a semifinal of the ACC Tournament on Saturday.

The No. 2 seed Cardinals led by five points heading to the fourth quarter and quickly pushed their lead to 10. Third-seeded North Carolina cut it to 52-46 midway through the quarter before Berry scored Louisville's next six points, leading to a 58-48 advantage with two minutes left.

North Carolina cut it to five points with 21 seconds remaining, but Louisville closed it out at the free-throw line.

Berry, a backup guard, made 9 of 14 shots, including 4 of 8 3-pointers. Laura Ziegler scored 13 points and Elif Istanbulluoglu added 11 for the Cardinals (27-6).

North Carolina (26-7), which had won 13 of 14 games coming in, got 17 points from Elina Aarnisalo, 13 from Nyla Brooks, 11 from Lanie Grant and 10 from Indya Nivar.

Berry buried three 3-pointers in the last four minutes of the first quarter, helping Louisville take a 16-10 lead. The Cardinals were up 23-15 in the second quarter before Brooks scored eight points in the final six minutes of the half to get North Carolina within 28-27 at the break.

The Tar Heels had their last lead at 38-37 with under four minutes left in the third before Berry and Ziegler drained 3-pointers to help Louisville take a 45-40 lead into the final period.

Frank Nazar Has A Plan For Young Blackhawks Taking Over Leadership Roles

The Chicago Blackhawks traded away their captain and both of their alternate captains ahead of the trade deadline. Nick Foligno, Jason Dickinson, and Connor Murphy were all important players on the ice, but they played big roles in the young lockeroom as well. 

In the first game following their departure, Connor Bedard and Tyler Bertuzzi wore an "A" on the ice. It is unusual to only have two letters, but that was their strategy for the one match against the Vancouver Canucks. 

Will they add a third by the time they play the Dallas Stars on Sunday evening? They very well may, but they may also stick with just Bedard and Bertuzzi for now. 

You don't need a letter sewn into your sweater to be a leader in the NHL, as many have learned over the years. As the team gets younger, some of these guys will take over as the new leaders on the team. 

That includes Frank Nazar. Sometimes, your role in hockey terms puts natural leadership expectations on you. Nazar is one of those players, and he knows it. He has a plan on how to begin this new chapter of his NHL career, and it's to emulate Nick Foligno. 

 “Obviously, the locker room will be quieter without Fliggy. He’s a loud, vocal guy. I'm trying to think of things that he says in the same way.” 

Nick Folingo's impact on the young core is felt and will be felt for the next decade. He taught them how to lead, play the game the right way, and be pros. Nazar's words reflect some of the off-ice things that he will take away from being his teammate. 

Nazar's play against the Canucks reflected a leadership mentality as well. He used his speed in all areas of the ice to make plays, defend, and give his team a chance to win. 

The Hawks did not end up winning the game, but Nazar played a role in the game being close. He started it off by creating a dump-in that led to Ryan Donato's beautiful goal. Sometimes, doing the right thing with the puck can go a long way. 

Later in the game, Nazar tied it by deflecting an Alex Vlasic shot into the net. It was a wonderful skill play that was a result of his going to a good area to create a deflection. 

Nazar commented after the game that it always feels good to score. He has shown more playmaking ability than goal scoring in his NHL career so far, but the tools are there for him to be a scorer as well. That is especially true if he starts making nice deflections like that. 

"We're here to play for Chicago," Nazar said of their first game without some of the players traded away. He knows the business side of it and is ready to move on with a focus on playing well for the Blackhawks.

Okorie scores 33 and Stanford hits 11 3s to beat N.C. State 85-84

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Ebuka Okorie scored 33 points and Stanford hit 11 3-pointers to help beat North Carolina State 85-84 on Saturday in an Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season finale.

Stanford (20-11, 9-9) has won four consecutive games while N.C. State (19-12, 10-8) extended its losing streak to four.

Stanford used a 13-3 run for a 71-61 lead with 5:26 left. N.C. State pulled within two points twice inside the final minute but Jeremy Dent-Smith answered each time from the free-throw line.

N.C. State's Paul McNeil Jr. hit a 3-pointer with 0.3 seconds left for the final tally.

Stanford shot 62% (18 of 29) in the second half and hit 6 of its 11 3-point attempts. The Cardinal finished 11 of 29 from long range.

Okorie made a career-high five 3s and shot 13 of 22 overall. It was his seventh 30-point game, matching Duke’s Marvin Bagley III (2017-18) for the most by a freshman in ACC history.

Jaylen Thompson added 15 points for the Cardinal. AJ Rohosy scored 14 points and Dent-Smith chipped in with 10.

Ven-Allen Lubin scored 17 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead N.C. State. Quadir Copeland added 16 points before fouling out late.

Okorie scored a season-best 19 points in the first half. The Cardinal led 37-34 at the break.

The Wolfpack shot 25 of 34 from the free-throw line overall. Stanford hit 8 of 11 from the line.

The ACC Tournament starts Tuesday in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Parks scores twice in second half, New York City FC rolls Orlando City 5-0

NEW YORK (AP) — Keaton Parks scored twice in the second half, and New York City FC rolled past Orlando City 5-0 on Saturday in its home opener.

New York City (2-1-0) moved into sole possession of first place in the Eastern Conference with the win. Orlando (0-0-3) played most of the game with 10 men after goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau was sent off in the 16th minute with a red card.

NYCFC opened the scoring in the 21st minute when Agustin Ojeda finished from the center of the box on a pass from Maxi Moralez. Nicolas Fernández doubled the lead in the 42nd minute, scoring a header on Moralez’s cross. Moralez added a penalty in first-half stoppage time to give New York City a 3-0 advantage at the break.

Parks extended the lead early in the second half, finishing from close range in the 49th minute off a feed from Tayvon Gray. He added his second goal five minutes later with a left-footed shot from the center of the box to make it 5-0.

New York City dominated the pitch, holding 68% possession and outshooting Orlando 13-4.

The victory continued NYCFC’s strong run in the series. New York City is unbeaten in its last seven meetings with Orlando dating to 2022.

Up next

Orlando: faces Montreal next Saturday.

NYCFC: at Colorado next Saturday.

No. 6 Iowa State blows out Sun Devils 86-65 after scoring 24 straight points in 2nd half

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Joshua Jefferson, Tamin Lipsey and Milan Momcilovic had 16 points apiece, and No. 6 Iowa State scored 24 straight points to break open an 86-65 victory over Arizona State on Saturday.

The Sun Devils led 45-41 when the game turned early in the second half. Momcilovic and Jefferson hit consecutive 3s to start the decisive run. Jefferson riled the Hilton Coliseum crowd when he blocked Anthony Johnson’s layup attempt and sped down the court to take Nate Heise’s long pass for a dunk.

Arizona State missed 11 shots and committed five turnovers before Massamba Diop made a free throw for his team’s first points in almost nine minutes. Arizona State's field-goal drought lasting nearly 11 minutes ended on Andrija Grbovic’s 3-pointer with 6:21 to play. At that point, the Cyclones led by 19.

The 24-0 run was the biggest in coach TJ Otzelberger's five years and the Cyclones' 39th double-digit run this season, most in the nation.

Iowa State (25-6, 12-6 Big 12) outscored ASU 49-24 in the second half, the Sun Devils' fewest points after half since they managed just 21 in a loss to the Cyclones last season.

Diop led the Sun Devils (16-15, 7-11) with 12 points but committed seven of their season-high 23 turnovers.

Up next

Arizona State: Sun Devils are the No. 12 seed in the Big 12 Tournament and will play No. 13 seed Baylor on Tuesday.

Iowa State: Cyclones are the No. 5 seed in the Big 12 Tournament and will play Arizona State-Baylor winner on Wednesday.

Pierre scores 18 to lift TCU past Cincinnati, 73-63

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Jayden Pierre had 18 points, five rebounds and five assists, Liutauras Lelevicius added 14 points, and TCU took down Cincinnati 73-63 in a regular-season finale for both teams.

David Punch scored 13 points, dished seven assists and grabbed three steals for the Horned Frogs (21-10, 11-7 Big 12). It was their fifth straight win, setting a new program-best in Big 12 play.

Pierre was 7-for-11 from the field, and the Frogs shot 44% overall and 27% from deep. Cincinnati shot 44% and 42%, respectively.

The game was back-and-forth for much of the first half, with neither team leading by more than four points. A buzzer-beating 3-pointer from Micah Robinson sent the Horned Frogs to the locker room up 32-29.

TCU pulled away in the second half with an early 9-0 run that put them ahead 45-35, and it led by double-figures for most of the final frame. The Frogs did not make a basket in the last 3:28, but went 10-for-12 from the charity stripe to secure the win.

Day Day Thomas led the Bearcats (17-14, 9-9) with 19 points (7-of-14 shooting), four rebounds and two blocks. Baba Miller hauled in 14 rebounds as Cincinnati won the glass battle, 37-30.
