Either Cruz Azul or Santos Laguna will be crowned Liga MX champion Sunday night, when the two sides meet in the second leg of the Clausura liguilla final.

Cruz Azul holds a 1-0 edge after the first leg thanks to Luis Romo's 71st-minute goal in Torreón, and the scene shifts back to Estadio Azteca for the decisive match. It's a potentially big night for Cruz Azul, which hasn't won a Mexican league title since 1997 and has had six runner-up finishes since. La Maquina finished atop the Liga MX table in the regular season, with 15 more points than Santos Laguna in the 17 matches they played across the Mexican top flight.

While Cruz Azul is out to snap its Liga MX trophy drought, Santos Laguna is out to add to its collection, with its most recent title coming in the 2018 Clausura campaign. It'll have to overcome the slight deficit in order to do that and extend Cruz Azul's misery.

Romo's away goal in the opening leg came in unique circumstances, with the versatile Mexican surging forward, slicing through the Santos Laguna defense, losing possession, sticking with it as the ball remained in the box and then instinctively firing home from about 10 yards out. 

Cruz Azul is in contention for a league-Champions League double, with the club among the four semifinalists in the 2021 Concacaf Champions League. It'll play Monterrey in one semifinal, while Club America faces the Philadelphia Union in the other.

Ranking the top 80 players in the 2021 NBA draft with the NCAA tournament in the rearview. View the original article to see embedded media. With three months until draft night and the NBA’s regular season winding down , the league at large has begun shifting full focus to the off-season. Players have until May 30 to declare as early entrants for the draft, after which point the predraft process will open up in full, leading up to the combine and lottery at the end of June . Our Big Board is long overdue for an update, and fully expanded out to 80 prospects as we all attempt to make sense of the big picture moving forward. As usual, the Big Board is primarily based on my personal evaluations from both live viewings and on film, in many cases dating back several years. The rankings also incorporate feedback and opinions I glean from NBA executives, scouts, and others around the industry. This is not a mock draft, and team fit is not considered, but it is also intended to be somewhat

New on Sports Illustrated: The Patriots’ Post-Brady Era Begins Now

In Mac Jones, Bill Belichick drafted a Round 1 quarterback for the first time ever—and looks to usher in a return to dominance. Of course the first time Bill Belichick drafts a first-round quarterback, it’s one for whom he could get an unvarnished scouting report from good buddy Nick Saban —and without even having to do any draft-day maneuvering. Now, the post-Tom Brady era in New England really begins. The Patriots treated 2020 as something of a gap year, with a league-high eight opt-outs due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a starting quarterback, Cam Newton, who didn't sign with the team until June. They were, for the first time in two decades, mediocre, but that 7–9 record bought them the ticket to a fresh start: the No. 15 pick, which they used Thursday night on Alabama QB Mac Jones. The oft-cited statistic that Belichick had never drafted a QB higher than pick No. 62—used on Jimmy Garoppolo in 2014—was inherently flawed, given that Belichick had Brady as a starter for 19 of
