NCAAMBB – MSU coach Tom Izzo passes Bob Knight for most Big Ten conference wins
Michigan State’s Tom Izzo followed one of the most disappointing losses of his coaching career with a record-setting victory. The No. 11 Spartans came from behind to beat Illinois 79-65 for Izzo’s 354th career Big Ten victory, breaking former Indiana coach Bob Knight’s record of 353 conference wins. Izzo tied Knight on Feb. 8 when Michigan State rallied in the second half to defeat Oregon 86-74. Izzo, who celebrated his 70th birthday on Jan. 30, is now 354-173 in Big Ten play in 30 seasons as coach. He’s 727-300 overall since replacing Jud Heathcote in 1995.

Golf – Ludvig Aberg rallies down the stretch to win the Genesis Invitational
Ludvig Aberg left Torrey Pines feeling as bad as possible with a stomach bug that caused him to lose 10 pounds. He returned three weeks later as a winner. The Swede birdied four of the last six holes for a 66 to track down Maverick McNealy and win the Genesis Invitational. The tournament normally is held at Riviera but moved to Torrey Pines because of the LA wildfires. Torrey had everything in place from the Farmers Insurance Open last month. McNealy shot 64 and had a three-shot lead until Aberg rallied. Scottie Scheffler shot 66 and tied for third.
Golf – Tiger Woods expects golf to ‘heal quickly’ when PGA Tour gets deal with Saudis

Woods was at Torrey Pines for his duties as tournament host of the Genesis Invitational. He’s part of the negotiations between the tour and the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia. Woods says a deal will get the game going in the right direction. He says the fans want to see all the best players competing against each other and the plan is to make that happen.
NASCAR – William Byron avoids late wrecks to win 2nd straight Daytona 500
William Byron raced to his second straight Daytona 500 victory, dodging a string of late-race wrecks that knocked out a chunk of contenders and sent the Hendrick Motorsports driver into victory lane Sunday night at Daytona International Speedway. Ninth in the No. 24 Chevrolet with one lap left, Byron became the first back-to-back winner since Denny Hamlin in 2019-20. Byron took advantage of another wreck on the final lap — NASCAR did not drop the caution and let the field race to the finish — and took another, familiar burnout in Daytona International Speedway. The 27-year-old Byron held on to win after two weather delays totaling more than 3 1/2 hours.
