Dick's Stock Watch identifies whose stock is up and whose is down over the past week across the world of sports.
STOCK UP: The Final Four, UConn women, A-Rod, Royals, Reggie Sanders, Tim Duncan
Final Four teams -- What a performance by Carmelo Anthony and Syracuse getting to the championship game. Roy Williams' Kansas were 3-3 at one point. Kansas was so impressive in transition in beating a good Marquette team easily. Keith Langford led the Jayhawks with 23 points.
UConn women's hoops -- Diana Taurasi led the Connecticut comeback over Texas in a battle. Geno Auriemma's team has done a great job considering the talent it lost from last year's unbeaten team.
Alex Rodriguez -- A-Rod became the youngest player to reach 300 career home runs.
Kansas City Royals -- The Royals became the first team to lose 100 games one year and open 5-0 the next. Tony Pena's team was stopped on Sunday -- rained out against Cleveland.
Reggie Sanders -- On his sixth team in six years, Sanders has been on fire early this year with four homers and 11 RBI early on.
Tim Duncan -- He's making his move on MVP honors. He had 25 points and 21 rebounds Sunday in a win over Detroit
STOCK DOWN: Greg Maddux, Ron Artest, Pat Riley, Portland 'Jail' Blazers
Greg Maddux -- The Atlanta Braves ace is off to an 0-2 start with an 11.00 ERA.
Ron Artest -- He continues to have problems with anger management, being fined $20,000 for giving fans in Cleveland a salute with his fingers.
Pat Riley -- He's having a rough year, his Miami Heat scored 62 on Sunday and 69 earlier in the week, and he has suffered a 50-loss season.
Portland Trail Blazers -- Zach Randolph, Ruben Patterson and Qyntel Woods got into a fight in practice...I feel bad for coach Mo Cheeks and his adventures in babysitting.
