In case you were busy savoring your first day as James Dolan’s employee, here are the top five stories you missed in sports on Tuesday:

In NCAA tournament games that no one should have to pick for their brackets:

NC State booked a ticket into the second round of the NCAA tournament with a comfortable 74-59 win over Xavier, and Albany topped Mount St. Mary’s 71-64 setting up a showdown with top overall seed Florida. And sure, NC State versus a reeling Saint Louis team is an attractive 5-12 upset pick, but Albany versus Florida? This. Changes. Everything.

Drogba blamed his team’s loss on Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho’s sideline antics, which consisted primarily of standing in a trench coat while holding a boom box playing Peter Gabriel over his head.

Tiger Woods pulled out of the upcoming Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill due to back pain. And I know what you’re thinking. Every time the words “Tiger Woods” and “pulled out” are together, I know what you’re thinking. And I personally won’t entertain the thought. I won’t do it.
