Jahmai Mashack raced up the court and hit a 3-pointer from well beyond the arc at the buzzer to give No. 5 Tennessee a 79-76 victory over No. 6 Alabama.

The Volunteers (24-5, 11-5 Southeastern Conference) got the final shot by forcing a five-second inbounds violation under Alabama’s basket with 3.8 seconds left.

Chaz Lanier and Jordan Gainey each scored 18 points for Tennessee. Zakai Zeigler had 15, and Mashack finished with 11.

Mark Sears led Alabama (23-6, 12-4) with 24 points. Labaron Philan had 13, and Aden Holloway added 11.

No. 1 Auburn rolls No. 17 Kentucky >> Miles Kelly scored a season-high 30 points to lead No. 1 Auburn to a 94-78 win over No. 17 Kentucky.

The Tigers (27-2, 15-1 SEC) won their sixth straight game and clinched at least a tie for the SEC regular-season title. Auburn won in Lexington for the first time since a 53-52 triumph over then-No. 1 Kentucky in 1988.

Chad Baker-Mazara followed Kelly with 22 points and Tahaad Pettiford scored 21.

Hockey

Rangers trade Lindgren and Vesey >> The Avalanche acquired defenseman Ryan Lindgren and winger Jimmy Vesey from the New York Rangers for a second- and a fourth-round pick, young forward Juuso Parssinen and veteran defenseman Calvin de Haan. They also got the rights to unsigned prospect Hank Kempf.

The Rangers are retaining half of Lindgren’s salary. The Rangers will receive the better of their own or Carolina’s pick in the second round and the better of Carolina’s or Vancouver’s in the fourth round of the draft later this year, the person said.

Wild acquire Nyquist >> Minnesota got pending free agent winger Gustav Nyquist from Nashville for a 2026 second-round pick. The Predators are retaining half of Nyquist’s salary after scratching him from their game at the New York Islanders for trade-related reasons because the wheels were already in motion for the Wild to acquire Nyquist before the deadline for the second time in three years.

Knapp hangs onto lead >> Jake Knapp survived a wild day at the Cognizant Classic and avoided calamity at the troublesome par-3 15th by making a pair of late birdies for a 3-under 68 and a one-shot lead going into the final round at PGA National.

Knapp, who opened the tournament with a 59, started the third round with a one-shot lead and was trailing by three shots when he made the turn. He holed a 12-foot birdie putt on the 16th and finished with a chip-and-putt birdie on the par-5 closing hole to stay in front.
