LSU vs. Cal State-Fullerton, College World Series Game 2

Spurs at Nets, Game 5
Could this be Jason Kidd's last game in New Jersey? Win or lose in this Final, the Nets' savior is a free-agent-to-be and could be San Antonio-bound.

SATURDAY 6/14 AND SUNDAY 6/15
NBC 1:30 PM
U.S. Open
Tiger is 0-for-his-last-three-majors. At Olympia Fields, a tight par-70 south of Chicago, he'll rely less on raw power and more on accuracy to find the course's tiny greens.

SUNDAY 6/15
ESPN 8 PM
Braves at Mariners
We all know that interleague play doesn't always yield memorable matchups ("Marlins versus Rangers—be there!"), but this one makes the experiment look smart. The AL's best team is hosting the NL's best.

FIFA Confederations Cup, U.S. vs. Turkey
The U.S. takes on a team that was third in the 2002 World Cup, and the game's not even on English-language TV. Settle in with chips and a Spanish-English dictionary.
