Braves — Spring Training

🏃 Antoan Richardson brings baserunning expertise: The new first-base coach strengthened his reputation as a baserunning guru when he helped Juan Soto shock the baseball world with 38 stolen bases last season. Now that Richardson has switched from the Mets' coaching staff to the Braves', might Austin Riley tally at least 15 steals this year? Mark Bowman explores the possibilities.

🤕 Rotation depth takes another hit: Joey Wentz has a torn right ACL, further depleting the Braves' pitching options. "I feel bad for the kid more than anything else," manager Walt Weiss said.

🌟 Ronald Acuña Jr. focused on Venezuela: Despite Venezuela already punching their ticket to the WBC quarterfinals, Acuña stayed locked in during Monday night's game against Nicaragua, helping preserve his team's perfect record.

🐊 Florida Gators Basketball

🏆 SEC Tournament run continues: Florida defeated Kentucky 71-63 in yesterday's quarterfinals, despite their worst 3-point shooting performance of the season. The #1 seed Gators advance to today's 1pm semifinal against #4 Vanderbilt in Nashville (ESPN).

📺 Today's game: SEC Semifinal at 1:00 PM ET vs Vanderbilt (ESPN, Bridgestone Arena). Winner advances to tomorrow's championship game at 1pm.

The defending national champs are looking like a potential March wagon — not many teams can survive ice-cold shooting and still convincingly beat an NCAA Tournament-caliber team on a neutral floor.
