Florida-South Carolina

Press Notes

South Carolina,
10-4 and 0-1 in the SEC, returns home to host its SEC home opener by welcoming
the defending NCAA Champion Florida Gators. The No. 2 Gators come in with a
15-2 record, including 2-0 in the SEC. Florida is riding an eight-game winning
streak, while Carolina has dropped
two straight after piecing together a six-game winning streak. The Gamecocks
opened their 16th season of SEC play at Georgia on Wed., Jan 10 and
fell 80-56 in their worst lost in Athens since 2000 (62-90 at Georgia on Jan.
22, 2000). USC is 5-11 in SEC openers, including 1-6 on the road. It was the
first time USC opened the SEC slate against Georgia
during its 16 years in the SEC. The Gators are 2-0 in the SEC with home wins
against Georgia
(67-51, Jan. 6) and Arkansas
(79-72, Jan. 10). USC won the season series last year with a 68-62 win in Columbia
and a 71-67 victory in Gainesville,
but fell 49-47 in the SEC Tournament Championship game. USC is 5-11 in SEC
openers, including 1-6 on the road. It was the first time USC opened the SEC
slate against Georgia
during its 16 years in the SEC. The Gators are 2-0 in the SEC with home wins
against Georgia
(67-51, Jan. 6) and Arkansas
(79-72, Jan. 10). USC had won six
straight, but has dropped the last two (vs. No. 9 Kansas and at Georgia).
It was USC’s first loss to a top 10 team in four
tries. This year USC opened the season with three of the first five on the road
and has tallied a 3-2 record on the road. Carolina
is 7-2 at home.

San Diego-Pepperdine

Press Notes

The Waves, who played 11 of 16 non-conference games on the
road and 13 of their first 18 games away from Firestone Fieldhouse,
enter Saturday’s game with a 4-14 overall record and an
0-2 mark in WCC play. Pepperdine
opened conference play last weekend and fell to Portland
(73-69) and Gonzaga (69-52) in the Pacific Northwest. San
Diego
enters Saturday’s game with a 10-6 mark and is
0-1 in WCC play after falling 103-100 to San
Francisco
in double overtime last week. The Toreros
defeated UC Riverside, 78-62, on Wednesday. San
Diego
is averaging 74.1 points a game while allowing
69.9 points a contest.

Utah-New Mexico

Press Notes

Two programs in unfamiliar territory square off Saturday
at The Pit/Bob King Court in Albuquerque.
New Mexico and Utah,
both 0-3 in Mountain Western Conference play and saddled with losing streaks.
The Lobos (11-7) are 0-3 in league play for only the second time since the
1960-61 Skyline Conference season. The 1979-80 UNM
team began 0-4 in the Western Athletic Conference. Utah
(5-11) has not started a conference season 0-3 since 1952-53, also in the
Skyline. The Utes were picked to finish 4th in the MWC.

New Mexico
has lost four straight after a painful 65-57 loss at 18th-ranked Air
Force on Tuesday. The Lobos let a 21-point lead evaporate as the Falcons
outscored UNM 40-7 during one stretch, including 21
straight points in the second half. UNM is 6-7
following a 5-0 start to the season. After Tuesday’s 73-57 loss at Colorado
State
, Utah
is 5-11 overall and
has lost five in a row and six of seven. The Utes are 1-7 away from home and
0-5 on opponents’ home floors this season. New Mexico
is 10-1 at home and is 43-4 in The Pit since the 2004-05 season.
Moreover, UNM has not endured a four-game losing skid
in conference play since 2000-01 when it lost at home to Wyoming, then fell at BYU, Utah and Air Force. The last time for consecutive
conference losses in The Pit was five years ago to Utah
and San Diego State
in 2002. The Lobos lost to Colorado State
at home last Saturday. Under head coach Richie McCay, New Mexico
is 4-0 against Utah in Albuquerque.
Two of the last three victories here came against ranked Ute teams, including a
65-54 decision in 2005 that stopped Utah’s
18-game winning streak.

Rice-East Carolina

Press Notes

Saturday’s game vs. East Carolina
is the first Conference USA
road game for Rice and it also marks the first time ever that the basketball
Owls have played in Greenville, N.C.

Rice coming off a thrilling
come-from-behind 75 to 70 overtime win over Tulane on Wednesday, while the
Pirates lost at Tulsa 67 to 49.

Temple-UMass

Press Notes

Coming off a tremendous 91-84 win over defending A-10
regular-season champion George Washington on Wednesday, the Minutemen host
arch-rival Temple on Saturday at Noon at the Mullins
Center
. UMass
comes into the game with a 12-4 record and a perfect 2-0 mark in A-10 play. The
Minutemen are off the best start since the 1995-96 season
when they won the first 26 games of the season and were ranked No. 1 most of
the year. UMass is seeking its first 3-0 start in
A-10 play since 1997-98 when they started 8-0. The UMass-Temple
rivalry opens a new chapter as the Owls come to Amherst
without their longtime Hall of Fame Coach John Chaney, for the first time in
history. Under new coach Fran Dunphy, the Owls are
6-8 overall and 0-2 in the league, riding a four-game losing streak. The Minutemen
reached the 10-win mark earlier than any point in a season since that year,
when they were 10-0. UMass has been stellar away from the Mullins Center this season with an 8-2 record. Those eight road/neutral
wins are tied for the most in the nation among all teams. No. 12 Butler is 8-1
away from
Indianapolis and Virginia
Commonwealth
has an 8-2 mark like UMass. It
is huge improvement for UMass, which was just 3-13
away from home in 2005-06. UMass has won eight of the
10 games away from home in the first two months. That includes a stretch of
five wins in a row away from Mullins. UMass has won
14 of its last 18 at home.

Cincinnati-South Florida

Press Notes

The University
of Cincinnati
will seek its first
BIG EAST Conference victory of the season and an end to a three-game losing
streak when the Bearcats visit USF on Sunday, Jan.
14. Game time at the USF Sun Dome is 2 p.m. UC enters the
contest with a 9-6 record but has been idle since its 54-42 loss to Rutgers
on Jan. 7 in its league opener. USF is 9-8 overall
and 0-3 in BIG EAST play. The Bulls lost to Louisville,
81-55, on Wednesday. Cincinnati and
USF have played one common opponent. Both have lost
to UAB. UC incurred a 59-57
setback to the Blazers on Dec. 4 while USF fell,
78-62, on Dec. 27. The Bearcats will be out to avert their longest losing
streak in 19 seasons. UC last dropped four in a row
in February of the 1987-88 season.

Wisconsin Milwaukee-Cleveland State

Press Notes

Cleveland State
returns home for the first time in the new year to
start a three-game league homestand. The Vikings open
the stretch against three-time defending Horizon League champion
UW-Milwaukee. Vikings have played better
than their 6-11 overall and 0-4 league mark shows, owning the halftime lead in
12 of the 17 games this season. CSU is coming off a 65-53 loss at UW-Green
Bay
on Jan. 6, a game which saw the
Vikings fall behind after having a 13-point halftime lead. UW-Milwaukee (4-13,
1-3) has struggled after losing all five starters off last year’s 22-9 team.
The Panthers split their two league games last week, including a 65-64 overtime win over Detroit
on Jan. 4. After using the same starting lineup and player rotation in the
first 11 games, the Vikings made some changes over the last five games to help
offset the loss of senior Victor Morris (9.7 ppg, 2.5 apg)
to a foot injury.

Bowling Green-Ohio

Press Notes

If the first weekend is any indication (three games
decided by a combined eight points), the battle for the MAC East title could
emerge as one of the best races in recent history. Bowling
Green
and Ohio
will meet for the 119th time on Thursday night. BGSU,
the most improved team in the MAC thus far, is 10-4 and 1-0 and coming off a
74-73 victory at home over Buffalo.
Ohio, also 10-4 and 1-0, defeated
Akron 77-72 last Saturday. A big
reason for the early season success for BGSU has been
the improved defensive effort of the Falcons. Last year, BGSU
allowed 71.4 points per game on 45.7% shooting from the field. This year, BGSU leads the MAC in field goal percentage defense (38.9%)
and is fourth in scoring defense allowing 64.0 points per game. Ohio
returns three starters from last year’s team and has several key performers
back from the 2005 MAC Tournament Championship team. Akron
transfer Bubba Walther has had an immediate impact averaging 15 points per
game. Sophomore Jerome Tillman is averaging 14.8 points and 7.9 rebounds,
junior Leon Williams is contributing 14.4 points and 8.9 boards, and senior
Whitney Davis is averaging 12.2 points.

Washington-Stanford

Press Notes

The Stanford men’s basketball team (9-4,
1-2 Pac-10) return
to the Bay Area to host conference foe Washington
(11-4, 1-3). The Cardinal are 2-2 since returning from the holiday break and
are coming off a hard fought road win (76-75) at Virginia. Huskies enter
Thursday’s contest with an 11-4 overall record and a 1-3 mark in league play.
Last week, UW split with the Arizona
schools, beating ASU and falling to Arizona.
Washington ranks 11th nationally in scoring with an average of
84.8 points per game.
Stanford holds a 66-58 lead in the all-time series
that began in 1916, including wins in 15 of the last 20 meetings against Washington.
The Huskies lost in their last 13 visits to Maples Pavilion.

Louisiana Tech-Boise

News Star

After a 2-0 start in the 2006-07 Western Athletic
Conference season, the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (4-10; 2-0 WAC)
will continue league play tonight at 8:05 against the Boise State Broncos (7-6;
1-1 WAC). Since joining the WAC
in 2001, the Bulldogs and the Broncos have battled 11 times with the Tech
winning eight. Last season in the conference opener, Tech’s Paul Millsap had to
hit a last-second three pointer to get past Boise
in Idaho.

NFL

NY Jets-Patriots

Connecticut Sports

Patriots coach Bill Belichick
said Wednesday that safety Rodney Harrison is out of Sunday’s Jets-Patriots
playoff game. Harrison, 34, who returned to the lineup Dec. 24 against the
Jaguars after missing six games with a broken shoulder blade, sustained
ligament damage to his right knee in the second quarter of a 40-23 win over the
Titans Sunday in Nashville, Tenn.

Newsday

The Jets trudged through the season, overcoming bad losses
to the Browns and Bills, earning emotional wins over the Patriots and Dolphins,
and now head into the playoffs. Finally, this team gets some respect.But then comes the nine-point spread from Vegas,
even though the two Jets-Patriots games this season were decided by an average
of five points, one of them a Jets win, and five of the last eight meetings
were decided by a touchdown or less. Following closely behind are the
statistical analyses, pointing out that the Jets are ranked 25th in
overall offense, 20th in overall defense and 24th in
rushing defense.

Giants-Eagles

Memphis Commercial Appeal

Jeremy Shockey’s swollen left
ankle has improved considerably and there is a good chance the Pro Bowl tight
end will play for the New York Giants on Sunday in the NFC wild card game
against the Philadelphia Eagles. Shockey had a team-high 66 catches for 623
yards and seven touchdowns.

Gainesville Sun

A funk that lasted into late November saw Philadelphia
drop five of six to fall below .500, but more importantly, the team lost star
quarterback Donovan McNabb to a season-ending knee injury. Garcia, though, went
on to lead the Eagles to four consecutive victories – he barely played in Week
17 while Philadelphia won a fifth
straight – and a 10-6 record to win the NFC East.

CFB

Ohio-Southern Miss

Associated Press

Ohio Bobcats into their first bowl game since 1968, facing
Southern Miss in the GMAC Bowl Sunday night. The Golden Eagles are playing in a
bowl game for the fifth consecutive year and ninth time in 10 years. The Bobcats lost 31-10 to Central
Michigan
in the Mid American Conference championship game to end a
seven-game winning streak. Likewise, Southern Miss fell in the Conference USA
title game, 34-20 to Houston. Ohio
turned to McRae and the ground attack after a 2-3 start, and he wound up
earning first-team All-MAC honors with 1,215 yards and 15 touchdowns. The
Bobcats are averaging 211 yards rushing in the past eight games, failing to
reach that number only in the league title game.

CBB

Michigan State-Indiana

WLIX

Tom Izzo announced Saturday that
Freshman guard Raymar Morgan
has been cleared to play for Michigan
State
on Sunday afternoon in Bloomington.
Morgan has missed the last 5 weeks with a stress reaction in his shin. He will
not start and it’s not clear how much he will play. With Morgan and Maurice
Joseph back the Spartans back court depth is finally improving.

Syracuse-Marquette

Press Notes

The Orange men’s basketball team (11-4, 0-1) will play its
second straight game against a ranked opponent on Sunday, Jan. 7 when it visits
#15/21 Marquette (13-3, 0-1) for an 8:00 EST tip off at the Bradley Center.
Sunday’s game marks the second road game for the Orange
and the third away from the Carrier DomeDue to
various injuries and the departure of freshman Mike Jones,
the Orange used just seven players
against #10 Pittsburgh in the
conference opener on Jan. 4. Despite limited bodies, Coach Boeheim’s squad gave the Panthers
all they could handle, leading the entire first half before Pittsburgh
pulled away in the final minutes of the second period for a 74-66 triumph.

COLORADO STATE +5.5 New Mexico

CSU is shooting the lights out right now making the 5.5
points look very big. They have shot 50
or better from the field in four straight and 6-of-8. They are shooting a
stunning 48.9 percent against teams normally allowing 44.6.

New Mexico
is beatable. They have lost 3-of-5 and
one of the wins was to Alcorn State, the other they beat a rebuilding Pepperdine team by five at home.

It’s a statement game for CSU. They are greatly improved but need to win a
road conference game. “That’s something we need to do,” head coach Dale Layer
said. “We need to have a breakthrough. I like some of the things we’re doing as
a team, and I think we’re progressing in that direction, but we just need to
cut through and get it done.”

They should win, but we like the buckets as cushion.

Pittsburgh-Syracuse

Press Notes

Pitt enters the contest ranked No. 10 in both the
Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today coaches polls. Syracuse
begins conference play unranked. Pitt is 2-1 in road games this season after
claiming victories at Buffalo and Auburn
and dropping a contest to Wisconsin.
The Panthers are 9-0 at home on the season. Pitt opens Big East play with a 12-2
record. It concluded its December slate with a 77-51 Saturday victory over
Florida A&M. Pitt concluded a difficult three-game
stretch against No. 7 Wisconsin, No. 15 Oklahoma State and Dayton.
Pitt dropped consecutive contests to Wisconsin
and Oklahoma State
and defeated Dayton by 30 points.
The combined record of those three Panthers opponents was 33-4. The 30-point
win over Dayton marked Pitt’s
largest margin of victory since it defeated Penn
State
91-54 on Dec. 10, 2005. It marked Pitt’s largest victory
of the year. With its back-to-back games against Wisconsin
and Oklahoma State,
Pitt played two consecutive games against nationally ranked non-conference
opponents.

Pitt and Syracuse
meet for the 95th time in series history. Syracuse
owns a 61-33 advantage in the series which began in 1914. The Panthers have
claimed eight of the series’ last 11 meetings. Pitt has won two of the last three matchups
between the two schools at the Carrier Dome. Pitt is 10-33 all-time vs. the
Orange in games played in Syracuse.

Santa Barbara-Long Beach State

Press Notes

UC Santa Barbara enters the week
with an overall record of 10-3 and a Big West Conference record of 2-0. The
Gauchos, winners of six of their last seven overall, swept a pair of games to
open league play last weekend. On Thursday, Dec. 28, UCSB
struggled past UC Riverside, 73-65, and then on
Saturday, Dec. 30, in an early-season showdown between the teams with the two
best non-conference records, the Gauchos defeated Cal State Fullerton, 84-76.
The consecutive wins came on the heels of a Dec. 22 loss at the University
of San Diego
which ended UCSB’s second four-game winning streak of the season.

Cincinnati-Middle Tennessee State

Detroit News

Brian Kelly will be coaching his new team, Cincinnati,
in the International Bowl on Jan. 6 against Western Michigan
in Toronto. There was some question
about who would coach the Bearcats in the game after Mark Dantonio
left Cincinnati to become the coach
Michigan State.
Pat Narduzzi, Cincinnati’s
defensive coordinator, was named interim coach before Kelly was hired Sunday. Cincinnati
athletic director Mike Thomas confirmed Tuesday that Kelly will have a coaching
staff in place to work the bowl. The number of CMU assistants who will join him
remains to be seen.

NFL

Chiefs-Colts

Sign On San Diego

The Indianapolis
run defense was by far the worst in the league, allowing 173 yards a game. The
Chiefs have Larry Johnson, the NFL’s second-leading rusher with 1,789 yards.
Nonetheless, Indianapolis is favored
by 6½ points, largely because it is 8-0 at home and has Peyton Manning and
Marvin Harrison to match anything Johnson can do – even though the Chiefs’
defense under Herman Edwards is certainly better than it was in January 2004.
For those who dabble in such things, the over-under is 51, a very reachable
figure unless the Chiefs keep the clock running with their rushing game. Funny
thing about the Colts: nobody expects much of them this year, unlike last
season, when they entered the playoffs as the top seed in the AFC. So maybe
they’ll go farther than most people believe.

Associated Press

Bob Sanders, who made the Pro Bowl last season, missed 12
of the past 14 games after having arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. His
absence exposed the Colts’ oft-criticized defense for what it lacks without
him: an energizing playmaker. At 5 feet 8 and 206 pounds, he is built like a
cannonball, hurls himself toward runners like a missile and is at his best in
run support. Without him, the Colts aren’t the same.In
2005, Sanders earned a trip to Hawaii
after helping the Colts allow the second-fewest points in the league. This
season, with Sanders primarily on the bench, the run defense dropped to No. 32
and set a franchise record by allowing 5.3 yards per carry. Coach Tony Dungy
warns Sanders cannot solve all the team’s defensive problems, but when he
plays, the Colts are different. The defense plays quicker, more aggressively
and with more confidence.

MasterLockLine.com

Sanders has practiced and we
expect him to play.

Cowboys-Seahawks

Sign On San Diego

The Cowboys are playing badly – the defense allowed 39
points to Detroit last week. The
Seahawks are playing better, perhaps in time for a push back to the Super Bowl in
a conference where nobody stands out. Seattle
is short at cornerback.

King 5

The bloom appears to off the Tony Romo
rose. But the Seahawks secondary woes may get him back on track. Seattle
could be down to converted safety Jordan Babineaux
and rookie Kelly Jennings on Saturday with Marcus Trufant
laid low by a high ankle sprain. This could give the Boys a chance to get Terry
Glenn and Terrell Owens free on the outside where both are most potent. The
smoothness of the Seahawks’ passing attack and the composure of quarterback
Matt Hasselbeck have evaporated. Maybe it was the injury Hasselbeck suffered
that cost him. Maybe it was getting used to not having an explosive Shaun
Alexander, the absence of guard Steve Hutchinson or getting Deion Branch
involved at wideout. Whatever it is, they’ve been off
much of the year and Hasselbeck’s regressed this
year. The Cowboys’ secondary has been a pack of big-play enablers all season.
Safety Roy Williams is laboring through an awful year in coverage and so is
fellow safety Keith Davis. Terence Newman and Anthony Henry, the corners, are
prone to giving up the big play as well. The Cowboys pass rush is highlighted
by DeMarcus Ware (11.5 sacks) but he’s been
hit-or-miss in a few games.

statistical analyses, pointing out that the Jets are ranked 25th in
overall offense, 20th in overall defense and 24th in
rushing defense.

Giants-Eagles

Memphis Commercial Appeal

Jeremy Shockey’s swollen left
ankle has improved considerably and there is a good chance the Pro Bowl tight
end will play for the New York Giants on Sunday in the NFC wild card game
against the Philadelphia Eagles. Shockey had a team-high 66 catches for 623
yards and seven touchdowns.

Gainesville Sun

A funk that lasted into late November saw Philadelphia
drop five of six to fall below .500, but more importantly, the team lost star
quarterback Donovan McNabb to a season-ending knee injury. Garcia, though, went
on to lead the Eagles to four consecutive victories – he barely played in Week
17 while Philadelphia won a fifth
straight – and a 10-6 record to win the NFC East.

PORTLAND STATE +4 Northern
Arizona

This is a good time to play overrated NAU.
The ‘Jacks have struggled to a 6-7 record. NAU also split a pair of home conference games last week,
beating Sacramento State
and losing to Weber State.

Portland State’s
rotation has been a little uneven this season until recently as SR G Paul Hafford has stepped up to be a big scoring threat off the
bench. Hafford is averaging 14.0 points and 3.6
rebounds in 20.0 minutes over the last five games.

Northern Arizona’s defense is
non-existent. They allow more than 10
points above their normal average.

PSU has the edge in most
