What were your most memorable sporting results of 2017? For me, #1 was definitely March 25: Oregon 74, Kansas 60. The Ducks not only beat but dominated the top-seeded Jayhawks to advance to the Final Four for the first time since 1939. The other two that come to mind were both Tottenham Hotspur matches: April 30: Spurs 2-0 Arsenal. Spurs clinched finishing above Arsenal for the first time in (cough) years. A high point of a very satisfying regular season that ended with a second place finish, making possible… November 1: Spurs 3-1 Real Madrid. The high point of a sparkling Champions League group stage that saw Spurs win the “Group of Death”. ---

Number 1 is certainly game 5 of the National League Division Series, when the Cubs eliminated Washington in the deciding game. It was very sloppily played and lasted forever, but the Cubs advanced. Unfortunately they crapped out against LA in the NLCS. ---

Pittsburgh Penguins winning their fifth Stanley Cup, becoming the first team to win back to back Cups in almost 20 years, and the first team to do so in the salary cap era. (Yeah, like you didn’t see that coming) ---
