🏀 Stat of the Day: Nine points in 35 seconds

The White Lotus meme will be getting some use this year after all. #1-seed Duke, the betting favorite to win this year’s men’s March Madness, lost yesterday to fellow #1-seed Houston 70-67—after being up by 14 points with eight minutes left, and six points with 35 seconds left.

Off the court: This nine-point swing in the closing seconds netted a $1 million win for artificial intelligence. AI site 4C Predictions bet a professional gambler that its program could do a better March Madness bracket, and it all came down to the Duke-Houston game.

On the women’s side…UConn rolled past South Carolina on Sunday to win its record 12th women's basketball national title.
