SYDNEY -- Andreas Mikkelsen held off Sebastien Ogier to win the Rally of Australia by 14.9 seconds on Sunday, giving Volkswagen a victory in its final race in the World Rally Championship.Norways Mikkelsen started the final day of the rally with a narrow two-second lead over his Volkswagen teammate, who was recently crowned the world drivers champion for the fourth straight year.Ogier closed the gap to just 0.3 seconds at the midpoint of the dusty Bucca stage, the second of five stages on the final day. But the Frenchman then spun his Volkswagon Rolo R near the finish and completed the stage 19.6 seconds slower than Mikkelsen, giving the Norwegian a commanding overall lead.Mikkelsen began the rally in third place in the drivers standings behind Ogier and Belgiums Thierry Neuville, hoping a win would lift him into second place and give Volkswagen its fourth consecutive one-two finish in its final championship. The company has said it will not compete in WRC again after this season.But Neuville, driving a Hyundai, finished the race in third place, ensuring hed remain in second overall in the drivers standings.The plan was to try and win the power stage because I would like to try and beat Thierry for that second place, but Im still happy about this, Mikkelsen said. Its been such a perfect end to the season ... Its just sad to see this team and the car come to an end. I will miss them.Ogier and Mikkelsen now find themselves looking for new cars for next season, likely putting pressure on drivers on other teams.Mikkelsen dominated Volkswagons final rally, leading after all but one stage and overcoming a bizarre incident on the second day when his clutch and brake pedal became wedged together.The race was also delayed on the 21st stage for almost a half hour when Eric Camilli rolled his Ford onto its roof, causing a fire to break out in the car. He retired from the stage but appeared unhurt. Adidas Nmd Uk Sale .

Alex Ferguson previews the “Final Four”. Villanova Wildcats vs Oklahoma SoonersYoull see Oklahomas Buddy Hield, the best player in college basketball, and the Villanova team who have played beautiful, unselfish basketball throughout the year.Its not as though both sides are wildly underestimated - they were both given No 2 seeds, but Villanova had a history of disappointing, while no-one thought Oklahoma would be in the Final Four ahead of Kansas. Well….the critics were wrong. Hield has been the outstanding player of March Madness And Villanova have got there due to their excellent defence - they suffocated everyones favourites Kansas, beating them 64-59 in a classic. Oklahoma have advanced mainly because Hield has been hotter than fire lately, scoring 27, 36, 17 and 37 in his last four outings. And the 37? It was during Oklahomas big game against No 1-ranked Oregon in the Elite Eight, who they blew out 80-68.Hields excellent from three-point range, so Villanova had better be good at smothering him if they hope to continue.Also, look out for OUs Isaiah Cousins and Jordan Woodward, who can also kill opponents from three-point range. Josh Hart of the Villanova Wildcats shoots the ball On the other side of the court, you shouldnt laugh at Nova, though. They might not have a big-name scorer, but thats more design than bad luck. There are no egos on this team, Wildcats player Jalen Brunson told US TV outlet CSN Philadelphia. No-ones saying I want to get mine, no-ones like Ive got to get my stats.Everyones really out there playing for each other… Everyone that goes in or goes out has the same intensity on defense and in rebounding and thats really whaat matters most.dddddddddddd And everyone had better be on tip-top shape against Hield & co!PREDICTION: Villanova are a 4/6 favourite with SkyBet after their Kansas win, and Oklahoma are an 11/10 underdog. Hield remains hot….Oklahoma win an upset.North Carolina Tar Heels vs Syracuse Orange Marcus Paige of the North Carolina Tar Heels shoots A lot of critics said about Syracuses entry to the NCAA Championship: They shouldnt even be there. And while the Oranges in-season record was ordinary at best (19-13), and reflected in their lowly 10th seed in the tournament, the team has very much shown they belong here.They scored a mega-upset over No 1 Virginia - a team who handled them easily in the regular season - in the Elite Eight to cement their spot in Houston, and suddenly, everyones thinking: Can they unseat North Carolina, who are playing brilliantly?Well, history says no - North Carolina have won both games the two teams have played this year by nine and five points respectively - and are a big favourite with Sky Bet (1/6) to win the third. Syracuse Orange have made the final four No-ones even come close to beating the Tar Heels in their four games thus far, with the Heels racking up double digit victories in every game.What Tar Heels coach Roy Williams has done brilliantly is not make the team dependent on one scorer. If you can stop one of the teams most outstanding players in Brice Johnson, whos averaging 21 points per game, then youll have to stop Marcus Paige or Kennedy Meeks. Yeah, good luck.Its been pointed out that this game will also match up two greats of the game in head coaches Jim Boeheim and Williams, but they should also point out that if Syracuse can score an upset, itll be the biggest upset since David beat that big guy Goliath.PREDICTION: Tar Heels roll. FINAL PREDICTION: Oklahoma beat North Carolina in a classic. ' ' '
