Who needs fresh air when you've got the warm glow of the TV?

College basketball? What college basketball? Major League Baseball is in full swing (excuse the pun and our fickle nature)! Yes, even though it's barely north of 40 degrees around Mag.com HQ, there's no denying Spring has sprung. So why not celebrate by shuttering yourself inside tonight to watch this bounty of sporty distractions, even if it is still light out at 7 p.m.

MLB:
Angels @ Twins (7:05 ET, ESPN)
Torii Hunter makes his debut for the Halos against his former squad, or what's left of them at least.

NCAA Women's Basketball
UNC vs. LSU (7:30 ET, ESPN) / Maryland vs. Stanford (9:30 ET, ESPN)

NHL:
Penguins @ Rangers (7 ET, Versus)
New York is just percentage points ahead of Boston and Philly for the final three playoff spots. It's one of the closest finishes in recent memory, but aren't you more excited for the beginnings of Crosby's playoff beard?

Let's hope that bracket is as successful as his real Tourney bracket, which is tearing up our semi-famous persons office pool.
