Weekend Sports PreviewThe RCA Dome in Indianapolis plays host to the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday, which highlights a busy weekend in sports that also includes baseball's season opener, full slates of NBA, NHL, and Arena Football League games, and both Nextel Cup Series and Formula 1 events. Better stock up on snacks on Friday morning. First off, George Mason, Florida, LSU, and UCLA play in semi-final NCAA contests in Indianapolis on Saturday, with the winners advancing to Monday night's championship game. No top seeds made it past the Elite Eight in this year's tournament, making the UCLA Bruins (a No. 2 seed) the highest-seeded team remaining at the Big Dance. The Bruins play in the late game Saturday, an 8:47pm ET start against the LSU Tigers. The Tigers, who were a No. 4 seed in their region, are actually sitting as 2.5-point favorites in this game right now, with the contest's total at 121 points. LSU beat Texas in the Elite Eight to advance to this game, while UCLA knocked off top-seeded Memphis. In the other semi-final game it'll be the upstart George Mason Patriots versus the Florida Gators starting at 6:07pm ET. Oddsmakers like the Gators in this game, as they're sitting as 6-point favorites (with a total of 132.5). The Patriots knocked off UConn last game as a No. 11 seed, while the Gators as a No. 3 got past top-seeded Villanova. At the ballpark this weekend, Sunday night's MLB season-opener pits the defending-champion Chicago White Sox against the division-rival Cleveland Indians in the Windy City. Probable pitchers for the game are Mark Buehrle for the White Sox and C.C. Sabathia for the Indians. Baseball starts its schedule in earnest on Monday afternoon. Teams continue to jostle for playoff positioning around the NBA this weekend, with key games on tap all three days. On Friday night, the league's elite will be trying to pad their records against doormat opponents, as Dallas plays in Orlando, New Jersey travels to Atlanta, and Phoenix visits Toronto. Detroit plays host to Milwaukee on Friday night. On Saturday, the game of the day takes place in the afternoon, with the Cleveland Cavaliers hosting the Miami Heat. The Heat have already locked up a playoff spot, while the Cavs are trying to nail down the East's fourth seed. Central rivals Indiana and Milwaukee also play on Saturday, and the Spurs play host to the Wizards as well. Sunday sees three big matchups on the schedule as the Pistons play host to the Suns, the Mavericks get a visit from the Nuggets, and the Heat travel to New Jersey to play Vince Carter and the Nets. Also of note on Sunday are the Los Angeles Clippers at Sacramento, Houston at the Los Angeles Lakers, and Cleveland at Charlotte. It's also crunch time in the NHL this weekend, especially in the Western Conference where precious few points separate teams above and below the postseason cutoff line. On Friday night the Calgary Flames battle the Colorado Avalanche for top spot in the Northwest Division, while the Vancouver Canucks look to take care of the Minnesota Wild. The Dallas Stars play the Mighty Ducks in Anaheim in another Western matchup. On Saturday the Eastern Conference steps into the spotlight, with New Jersey visiting Philadelphia, the Maple Leafs hosting the Sabres, Boston playing in Montreal, Atlanta hosting Carolina, Tampa Bay battling Florida, and Ottawa playing Washington. Key Western games on Saturday include Calgary at Edmonton and Dallas at Los Angeles. A light Sunday in the NHL features only four games: Philadelphia at the New York Islanders, Detroit at Minnesota, New Jersey at Pittsburgh, and Vancouver at Anaheim. Austin and Philadelphia kick off Week 10 of the Arena Football League's schedule on Friday night, with the Soul listed as 6.5-point home favorites. On Saturday it's Grand Rapids at New York (-6), Utah at Tampa Bay (-7.5), Georgia (-9.5) at Kansas City, Columbus at Dallas (-10.5), and Nashville at Colorado (-4). Sunday features Chicago at Orlando (-3), Las Angeles at Las Vegas (-5), and Arizona at San Jose (-6.5). And on the auto racing scene, the Nextel Cup Series is at Martinsville Speedway this weekend for the DIRECTV 500. Matt Kenseth now leads the driver standings, as he sits just ahead of Kasey Kahne and Jimmie Johnson. Overseas, the Formula 1 circuit is at Melbourne's Albert Park for the Australian Grand Prix. Fernando Alonso continues to lead the F1 drivers championship, followed by Jenson Button and Michael Schumacher.
