NBA

Warriors-Cavaliers

Akron Beacon Journal

LeBron James has been trying to play through the sprained
toe for 10 days, twice reinjuring it despite skipping
a game Friday against the 76ers in Philadelphia
to rest it. Resting would make a difference. Long term, it would be smart if I
took some games off and took some practices off, being a team guy and not
liking that feeling,” he said, all in the same thought. “I’ve got to be smart.”
James said it would be easier if the coaching staff came to him and told him
not to play. That’s what coach Mike Brown did in Philadelphia,
but James still couldn’t keep himself out of the lineup Sunday against the
Phoenix Suns. Brown, of course, wants him in the lineup. “He should play
(tonight),” Brown said. “But with him, it’s a day-to-day thing.”

Ohio-Ball State

Press Notes

The Ohio men’s
basketball squad (13-6, 4-2 MAC) will travel to take on Ball
State (6-13, 2-4 MAC). This is the
only meeting this year between Ohio
and Ball State.
All-Time: Ohio holds a 36-29 edge
in the all-time series between the two programs.

Wisconsin-Iowa

Press Notes

Iowa (11-9,
3-3) plays the first of three games in seven days when it hosts #2/3 Wisconsin
(20-1, 6-0). With the 79-63 win over Penn State,
Iowa improved its home winning streak in
Big Ten Conference games to 12 straight. Iowa
has won 28 of its last 29 home games in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Wisconsin
is ranked second by the Associated Press and third in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll. This marks Wisconsin’s
highest ranking of the season. Iowa
has posted a 1-2 record while facing three ranked opponents this season. Iowa
lost to 10^th-ranked Alabama 72-60 in the semi-finals of the Paradise
Jam, defeated 24^th-ranked Michigan State 62-60 Jan. 4 in Iowa City
and lost to seventh-ranked Ohio State 82-63 Jan. 20 in Columbus. Under Steve
Alford, Iowa is 2-5 when playing
teams ranked among the top three in the nation. That includes a 1-3 mark vs.
No. 1, a 1-1 record vs. No. 2 and a 0-1 record vs. No. 3.

Tennessee-Kentucky

Press Notes

The Vols are looking to bounce
back from a 83-69 loss at Ole Miss Wednesday night. UT
held a 10-point halftime lead but the Rebels shot 59.4 percent from the field
in the second half to take the win. The Vols
finishing are a stretch where they have played five of six games on the road.
The stretch began with three consecutive road games (at Vanderbilt, at Ohio
State and at Auburn)
before UT returned home to play South Carolina
on Jan. 20. Tennessee returned to
the road Wednesday, Jan. 24, when they visited Ole Miss and now travel to Kentucky.
UT will return home Jan. 31 to host Georgia
before hitting the road again when the Vols visit
top-ranked Florida Feb. 3. UT has
dropped four of its last five games. Each of those four losses has come on the
road and three of them were decided by three points or less. Tennessee
is leading the SEC and ranks eighth in the nation with 82.4 points per game.
Chris Lofton, the SEC’s leading scorer with 21.5 points per game, is out
indefinitely after suffering an ankle injury Jan. 20 against South
Carolina. The All-America guard missed his first
career game Wednesday, Jan. 24, when he did not play against Ole Miss.

Massachusetts-Charlotte

Charlotte Observer

Maybe the comforts of home will give the 49ers some
assistance in Sunday’s showdown with the Minutemen. Charlotte
is 5-2 at home this season with losses to North Texas
and Saint Joseph’s.

Virginia-Clemson

Daily Progress

UVa fans have been getting a real
show out of the Cavaliers’ starting backcourt of senior shooting guard J.R. Reynolds and junior point guard Sean Singletary. Since
returning from a disastrous road trip to San Juan
before Christmas, Reynolds and Singletary have combined to average 46 points
per game over the last eight contests. Singletary has averaged 23.9 per game,
Reynolds 22.1 over that span. That’s what it may require for the Cavaliers to
tame the Tigers, coming off a heart-wrenching, last-second loss at Duke on
Thursday night. Clemson bounced back strong from its earlier loss to North
Carolina with an impressive home performance,
something the Cavaliers will have to contend with on Sunday afternoon at
Littlejohn Coliseum. Considering that Clemson ranks ninth in the ACC in both
field-goal percentage defense and 3-point percentage defense, it at least
leaves the notion that it could be another one of those 40-plus point nights
for the Cavalier backcourt.

DePaul-West Virginia

Scout.com

When viewing the Blue Demons schedule before this season
began it was plain to see that this week would be the toughest for the DePaul
Blue Demons. With back-to-back road games at Georgetown
and West Virginia, it was obvious
that the Blue Demons would be in for a tough challenge this week. At the WVU Coliseum, the Mountaineers are undefeated at 10-0 this
season and are 23-2 over the last two years. While WVU
has struggled on the road in Big East play, they are awfully tough to beat at
home.

LSU-Georgia

RedandBlack.com

With a win against the Wildcats, Georgia
(12-6, 4-2 SEC) has to get ready for a Sunday battle with No. 21 LSU (13-6, 2-3). The team is now in a tie with Kentucky
and Vanderbilt for second place in the SEC East. Wednesday’s home sell-out was Georgia’s
first since last February’s Tennessee
game. An SEC opponent such as LSU (the Tigers played
in last season’s Final Four) should bring the fans back in droves on Sunday.
The Tigers are coming off a 64-53 loss at home Wednesday to a resurgent
Vanderbilt squad. This is almost the same LSU team
that gave Georgia
their worst loss last season, an 81-52 drubbing in Baton
Rouge, La.

George Washington-Rhode Island

Press
Notes

It’s a match-up of
first- and second-place teams as second-place GW
(5-1) faces first-place URI (6-1) today in the only regular-season meeting this
season and the 25^th time in series history. GW
is coming off a 74-65 victory over Saint Joseph’s Wednesday at Smith Center for its 24^th straight home victory. The Colonials have
won 22 of their last 23 A-10 games. GW also has won 32 of its last 36 regular-season games and
its 24-game home winning streak at Charles E. Smith Athletic
Center ranks behind only three teams nationally. (We
point up their home streak as many top cappers consider home/road “splits” or
dichotomy). Rhode
Island
(13-8, 6-1) is coming off a 75-72 victory over UMass
Wednesday at home.

St.
John’s-Pittsburgh

Press
Notes

Winning eight of its
last nine games, Pitt enters the contest ranked No. 9 in both the Associated
Press and ESPN/USA Today coaches polls. The Panthers
are 12-1 at home on the season. Pitt has won 35 of its last 41 Big East home
games and is 30-6 against Big East opponents in the Petersen Events
Center. Pitt owns a 16-33 all-time record vs. St. John’s. It has won three consecutive games vs. the Red
Storm at home including a 2-0 record in the Petersen Events
Center. Pitt has limited six of seven Big East opponents,
eight of its last nine opponents and 18 of its 21 total opponents under 70
points. Under Jamie Dixon, Pitt has held opponents to 70 points or less in 99
of his 119 career games.

Temple-Duquesne

Press
Notes

Duquesne (6-11, 2-4),
which snapped a five-game home losing streak and doubled last season’s win
total with a 93-89 victory over Dayton on Wednesday, returns to action to host
Temple (7-11, 1-4). Temple leads the overall series 35-12, including a
13-7 advantage in games played at Pittsburgh. Duquesne snapped an eight-game series losing
streak with a 61-54 win over the Owls in Pittsburgh on Jan. 8, 2003. Temple has won the past three meetings. Duquesne,
which began the season with seven scholarship players, is currently competing
with eight. of the 10 total players on the current
active roster, just one is over 6-6.

Mississippi-Vanderbilt

Press
Notes

The Commodores also
recorded back-to-back road wins over ranked opponents for the first time in
school history when they topped Kentucky and LSU in the past
week. The Commodores (14-6, 4-2 Southeastern
Conference) have won three consecutive games—all against ranked opponents—to
find themselves in a three-way tie for second place in the SEC’s Eastern
Division heading into the weekend. Vanderbilt leads the overall series 68-38
overall, including a 45-7 advantage in Nashville. The Commodores won last year’s meeting 77-62
in Oxford on March 1.

Southern Miss-Memphis

Press Notes

Southern Miss looks to snap a six-game losing streak to Memphis
when they travel north to take on the No. 11-ranked Tigers. The Golden Eagles
(13-5, 3-2) enter the game having won two straight games, including an 83-72
decision at home over East Carolina, Wednesday. Southern
Miss, though, looks to snap a five-game losing streak in Memphis.
The last Golden Eagle victory in Memphis
came on Dec. 27, 2000, in
a 75-67 triumph over the Tigers. UM (16-3, 6-0), C-USA’s league leader, won
this season’s earlier meeting this season between the two teams, 75-62, in
Hattiesburg two weeks ago. The Tigers currently are riding an eight-game
winning streak, which includes a 72-59 home win over Tulsa,
Wednesday. Chris Douglas-Roberts, who led the Tigers in Hattiesburg
with 19 points, has been out with a high ankle sprain and has not played in the
last two games. Douglas-Roberts leads UM in scoring at
14.8 points per contest.

TCU-Wyoming

Press Notes

Wyoming
leads the all-time series 4 games to 3 and has won two straight meetings. The
Cowboys won the two games last year by a total of just six points. Five of the
seven contests have been decided by five points or less. TCU
is 0-2 in Laramie, as the Cowboys
have a two-point win and a three-point overtime victory over the Frogs in their
arena. TCU currently is in a season-long four-game
losing streak after matching a season best with three consecutive victories.
After holding 10 consecutive opponents to 70 points or less, three of TCU’s last four foes have surpassed the 70-point mark.
Opponents have averaged 74.0 points per game over the last five games after
scoring just 53.5 over the previous six games.
From Nov. 24 through Jan. 6, the Horned Frogs limited 10 consecutive
teams to 70 or under. It was the first time a Frog team accomplished that feat
since the 1986-87 season, when TCU held 13 opponents
in a row under that total (Jan. 7-Feb. 21, 1987). TCU shot 48.2
percent (41-of-85) from the floor during the team’s 2-0 start to league play,
but has made just 36.7 percent (79-of-215) of its shots in its four consecutive
losses.
