A week after becoming the most successful ski racer in Alpine World Cup history, Mikaela Shiffrin extended her lead, capping her record-setting season on Sunday with career win No. 88.

The men's college basketball regular season was defined by parity, and so far, the NCAA Tournament has a similar "anybody can beat anybody" vibe.
State of play: Just four of the top nine overall seeds — Alabama, Houston, UCLA and Texas — survived opening weekend, which saw two No. 1 seeds (Purdue and Kansas) lose and one No. 15 seed (Princeton) win ... twice.
