UCLA-Washington State
Press Notes
The 13th-ranked Bruins (19-4, 9-2) try to improve to 5-0 on the road in conference play Thursday when they begin a stretch of three straight contests away from home with a matchup against Washington State (10-9, 3-7). Coach Ben Howland has seen seven players get injured this season and lost starting forward Josh Shipp – who played just four games – for the rest of the season in January. UCLA has rotated five freshmen and four sophomores, but finds itself atop the Pac-10 by two games. That success can be attributed to the Bruins’ play outside of Los Angeles. UCLA has held its four Pac-10 opponents to an average of 60.5 points on their respective home courts, and is now trying to start 5-0 on the road in conference play for the first time since the 1991-92 season – when it won the first six en route to a league title and regional final appearance in the NCAA tournament. Washington State snapped a six-game losing streak with a 77-64 upset of then-No. 16 Washington on Saturday, sweeping the season series from their rivals. Despite the losing Pac-10 record, Washington State’s slow-tempo style of play has given it a chance to win most of its games. Four of the seven conference losses by the Cougars have been by five points or fewer, including a 63-61 defeat to the Bruins on Jan. 12 at Pauley Pavilion.UCLA has won 24 of the last 25 games between the teams, including 12 straight at Washington State since a 67-56 defeat on Feb. 6, 1993.
Ohio State-Michigan
Press Notes
Michigan was humbled in its last game as it tried to earn a critical victory against Big Ten leader Iowa. The No. 22 Wolverines look to get back on track when they take on 19th-ranked Ohio State on Thursday night in a key matchup in the crowded conference race. Michigan (16-4, 6-3) has made significant strides since last season, when it finished 13-18 and 4-12 in the Big Ten, but the Wolverines suffered a 94-66 blowout at the hands of the then-No. 23 Hawkeyes on Saturday. With a chance to pull closer to first place, the Wolverines shot 32 percent in the second half and 41.5 for the game. Michigan came in as the conference’s best shooting team at 47.9 percent. The loss snapped Michigan’s five-game winning streak, and the 28-point defeat was its most lopsided of the season. The Wolverines will look to put the ugly loss behind them when they take on the Buckeyes (16-3, 5-3), winners of two in a row and four of five. Ohio State is coming off a 67-53 victory over Minnesota on Saturday. The Wolverines may be looking for some revenge after being blown out 72-46 in their last meeting with the Buckeyes on Feb. 5, 2005 at Columbus. Michigan committed a season-high 29 turnovers as Ohio State posted its most lopsided win over its conference rival in 37 years.Ohio State, though, has dropped three of the last four meetings.
Idaho State-Northern Arizona
Press Notes
Idaho State, fresh off a 95-70 win over the Montana Grizzlies on Saturday, head to the road for their final two conference road games, starting on Thursday at Northern Arizona. The Lumberjacks, who had their 10-game winning streak snapped on Saturday, lead the league with an 8-1 conference record. Idaho State excised a few demons with their strong 95-70 win over previous Mid Major #9 Montana on Saturday. The Bengals are currently in seventh place, one game out of the Big Sky playoff hunt, trailing 3-6 Weber State. Northern Arizona is 16-7 overall and 8-1 in the Big Sky, good for first place, although they saw the nation’s longest winning streak at 10 snapped on Saturday with their 74-61 loss to Eastern Washington. Mike Adras (UC Santa Barbara, 1983) is 107-89 overall in his seventh year with the Lumberjacks. He is 10-5 against the Bengals, and 5-1 in Flagstaff.
New Mexico Stat-Nevada
Press Notes
Nevada has won four straight games and returns to Lawlor Events Center after playing three of the team’s last four contests away from home. The Wolf Pack holds a 9-1 record at Lawlor Events Center this year, last defeating Hawai’i there on Jan. 28. With last week’s road wins over the Bulldogs and the Aggies, Nevada has moved into a three-way tie for first place in the WAC with Louisiana Tech and Utah State with a 7-3 league mark. Thursday night’s game against NMSU marks the beginning of a three-game homestand for the Wolf Pack, which played six of its first 10 WAC games away from home. Under the direction of first-year head coach Reggie Theus, New Mexico State brings a 9-11 overall record into Thursday night’s back-to-back meeting with the Wolf Pack. The Aggies are fifth in the WAC standings with a 5-4 league mark. Last week’s 90-81 loss to Nevada snapped New Mexico State’s two-game winning streak, which included a 93-86 victory over Utah State on Feb. 2. The Aggies returned two starters from last year’s 6-24 team and were picked to finish seventh and eighth in the preseason WAC media and coaches’ polls, respectively. New Mexico State holds a 13-6 advantage over Nevada in the series between the two former members of the Big West Conference. The Wolf Pack snapped a four-game losing streak to the Aggies with the team’s 90-81 victory on Saturday night in Las Cruces, N.M.
St. John’s-Georgetown
Press Notes
Georgetown played its way onto the national scene with an upset of then-No. 1 Duke last month, and played its way into the Big East title picture by defeating then-No. 9 Pittsburgh last week. The 15th-ranked Hoyas (16-4, 7-2) continue their push for the top spot in the conference Thursday when they go for their seventh straight victory in a matchup with St. John’s (10-10, 3-6). Thursday’s game comes in between contests against ranked opponents Pitt and West Virginia, which Georgetown faces Sunday in a critical contest. The Hoyas’ 61-58 victory over the Panthers last weekend moved them into fourth place in the Big East, 1 1/2 games behind the first-place and ninth-ranked Mountaineers. Georgetown’s winning streak is its longest since starting the 2003-04 season with 10 victories, and the Hoyas have beaten two top 10 teams for the first time since 1995-96.
To keep its win streak intact, the Hoyas will have to guard against looking past upset-minded St. John’s, which knocked off then-No. 17 Louisville and then-No. 9 Pitt in back-to-back games last month. Since those victories, however, the Red Storm have dropped four straight. St. John’s is shooting 27.5 percent from 3-point range, third-worst in Division I. The Red Storm have lost 14 consecutive road games to ranked opponents since a 64-57 win at then-No. 22 Boston College on Jan. 17, 2002.
West Virginia-Pittsburgh
Press Notes
West Virginia is off to one of the best starts in Big East history. Keeping it going over the next 10 days will be very difficult. The ninth-ranked Mountaineers look to keep their perfect conference record intact as they open a tough stretch of the schedule, facing No. 14 Pittsburgh on Thursday in the first of three straight road games. West Virginia (17-4, 8-0 Big East) beat Cincinnati 66-57 on Saturday for its 15th win in 16 games – the only loss came to in-state rival Marshall on Jan. 25. After facing the Panthers, West Virginia plays at No. 15 Georgetown on Sunday and at Seton Hall on Tuesday before heading home to meet top-ranked Connecticut on Feb. 18. Five of West Virginia’s eight remaining conference games will be on the road. This contest closes an equally brutal stretch for Pittsburgh (17-3, 6-3), which lost 61-58 to Georgetown on Sunday following an 80-76 defeat to Connecticut on Jan. 31. The Panthers have lost three of five games after opening the season with 15 straight wins. All three defeats have come on the road for the Panthers, who have won 13 straight at home.
Western Kentucky-Denver
Press Notes
DU owns the nation’s fourth-longest home winning streak. Denver has won 16 consecutive (13 straight in conference play) and 20 of its last 21 home games dating back to last season. Denver’s only loss was to Stanford, 56-52 on Dec. 13, 2004. Denver is riding a two-game losing streak, falling at New Orleans, 64-54 and at Louisiana-Lafayette, 49-38. WKU is riding a four-game winning streak, defeating South Alabama, 74-73, ULL, 94-81, UNO, 72-57 and Florida International, 66-61.

East Carolina-UAB
Press Notes
East Carolina junior guard Japhet McNeil and sophomore forward Jonathan Hart have been suspended indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team announced head coach Ricky Stokes on Monday. Neither will play in Saturday’s game against UAB in Birmingham. McNeil leads Conference USA in assists with 6.65 per game and ranked fifth in the latest NCAA statistics published on January 31. He has distributed 133 assists this season, which is an ECU single season record. McNeil had started 15 games this season, while averaging 4.9 points in 27 minutes per game. Hart was averaging 4.2 points and 3.3 rebounds in 17 minutes of action per game this season and had started each of the past three games.
San Francisco-San Diego
Press Notes
USF (9-13, 5-4 WCC), will battle travel partner San Diego (15-7, 5-4) twice within three days, visiting the Toreros Saturday and hosting them Monday night. So far USF has split every weekend of WCC play winning once and losing once. (The Dons won their one single week contest.) This will be a very interesting weekend as USF faces the same opponent just two days apart. In WCC play, the Dons have by far the best turnover margin (+3.1) forcing 17.1 turnovers per contest while committing just 14.0. The next highest margin is LMU’s + 1.11. On the opposite side, USF is last in free-throw percentage (66.9%). USF is 2-3 in last five games. The Dons have been outscored 373-346 (74.6-69.2) and have shot just 41.6%.
Pepperdine-Loyola Marymount
Press Notes
The Waves (7-14, 3-6) have lost the first two games on the road trip, falling 84-71 at San Diego on Saturday and 66-63 at San Francisco Monday night. Pepperdine will be attempting to post its first road win since registering 75-61 victory at UNLV on December 22. The Waves are 1-10 on the road this season and have lost four straight away from Firestone Fieldhouse. Loyola Marymount begins play this week with a 10-13 overall mark and is in second place in the WCC with a 7-2 record. The Lions, who are coming off a 94-76 victory at San Diego on Monday, have two in a row, four of five and seven of their last nine games. LMU is currently averaging 73.3 points a game while allowing 74.6 points a contest.

CBB
Central Florida-Southern Mississippi
Press Notes
UCF is limiting its opponents to only 63.7 points per game, but after holding four-consecutive foes to below 70 points, has allowed an average of 84.5 points in its last two contests. UCF has been successful from three-point range as of late, hitting 24 triples in its last three games. The Golden Eagles have lost seven contests in a row, all in league play. Southern Miss has not won since Jan. 11, when it topped visiting Tulane (67-55). On Saturday, the squad dropped a 58-53 contest at SMU.
Loyola-Wisconsin Green Bay
Press Notes
Loyola looks to avenge a 72-66 loss to UW-Green Bay in Chicago two weeks ago when it travels north to Titletown tonight. With a victory, the Ramblers would surpass their win total from a season ago and secure their most victories since 2002-03, when that squad posted a 15-16 record. This evening’s contest is the first of three straight road games for Loyola, which is 3-5 away from home this season. Loyola has not played outside of the Gentile Center since a heartbreaking 78-75 loss at UW-Milwaukee, Jan. 11. Ramblers and Phoenix tangle for the 27th time in a series that dates back to 1995. UW-Green Bay owns a 15-11 lead in the all-time series, although Loyola has captured seven of the last 10 meetings between the teams. In Green Bay, the Ramblers have compiled a 3-8 ledger, although they have earned a victory in three of the last four seasons in Titletown.
New Mexico-Colorado State
Press Notes
The Rams will be in search of their first win in seven tries when they meet UNM on Wednesday and will be looking to defeat the Lobos for the third time in four years in Fort Collins. CSU suffered an 85-81 setback to league-leading San Diego State on Saturday when the Rams’ late-game rally fell just short sending their record to 12-10, 1-8 MWC on the season. The Lobos will bring a 13-9 overall record into Fort Collins on Wednesday after breaking a three-game losing streak with a 64-53 victory over Utah in Albuquerque Saturday. New Mexico will be looking for its first road win of the season after going 0-8 away from The Pit this year. Colorado State holds an all-time record of 414-162 (.719) in Moby Arena. The Rams hold an 8-31 record in the month of February during Dale Layer’s tenure as head coach. The Rams have a 3-20 record in February in their last three-plus seasons. After holding opponents to a .379 field goal percentage in non-conference games, CSU has allowed league opponents to shoot at a .507 clip after seven MWC games. MWC foes are scoring 79.0 points per game on the Rams compared to a 67.0 points per game average in non-conference play.
BYU-Utah
Press Notes
The Runnin’ Utes (10-10, 3-6 MWC) return home from a two-game road swing. Utah is 8-3 at home overall this season and 2-2 in Mountain West Conference play. The Utes split a pair of road games last week, getting a 71-63 win at Wyoming on Wednesday night and falling 64-53 at New Mexico on Saturday afternoon to end a two-game winning streak. Utah is playing one redshirt freshman and four other newcomers. Through 20 games, 55.8 percent of the Utes’ points, 51.2 percent of their rebounds, 52.0 percent of their assists, and 54.3 percent of their minutes played have come from the first-year players. BYU is 14-6 overall and tied for third place in the Mountain West Conference with a 6-3 record. The Cougars are 4-5 away from home this season, including a 2-3 record in conference play. The Cougars have won four in a row. After defeating TCU, 90-89, in overtime on Jan. 25 at home, BYU picked up road wins at Colorado State (86-84) on Jan. 28 and New Mexico (77-71) on Feb. 1. BYU returned to the Marriott Center last Saturday, defeating Air Force, 65-59. The Cougars rank first in the MWC in scoring offense (76.4 ppg), eighth in scoring defense (70.4 ppg), fifth in rebound margin (+1.9 rpg) and first in assists (17.00 apg).
NC State-Miami
Press Notes
The Wolfpack rank No. 1 in the ACC in field goal percentage defense (.393) but also boast one of the league’s most balanced offensive attacks. Miami (14-8, 6-3 ACC) defeated Georgia Tech, 70-53, on Saturday. Miami, which has won three straight games, has been one of the league’s top defensive teams ranking No. 1 in the ACC in scoring defense (62.5 ppg) and second to only NC State in field goal percentage defense (.404). Miami and NC State meet for the second time this season and the fourth time overall. NC State won the first meeting this season and lead the all-time series, 2-1. Miami won last season’s meeting in Coral Gables, 67-66, marking UM’s first ACC victory.
NBA
Spurs-Raptors
MySanAntonio.com

The Spurs have not played since Thursday’s road victory over the Golden State Warriors. The fourth game of the Spurs’ eight-game rodeo road stretch is Wednesday night against the Raptors in Toronto. Duncan has not missed a game this season. He is averaging 19.9 points and 11.6 rebounds per game.

DAYTON +13’ George Washington
Dayton has played GW tough. Though they’ve lost three straight in the series, it was by a combined 14 points and before that the Friars had the upper hand. There are actually several systems favoring Dayton. The most statistically significant is going with double digit dogs of less than 20 allowing 64 points or less per game after allowing 25 or less in the first half of their last game is 176-105.

DETROIT -10 Atlanta
Forget about the Pistons overlooking Atlanta. Fresh off a rare loss and in pretty convincing fashion to Indiana, the Pistons sure could use a crappy team to take their frustrations out on. Did someone say crappy team?
Detroit will use a highly motivated and deep bench tonight, so there will be no letting up. there is a good chance Lindsey Hunter will be activated for tonight’s game at Atlanta, and why Dale Davis will log more minutes after he had four points and three rebounds in four minutes Saturday at Indiana..
The teams met earlier this year and it was a 28 point Piston rout. We expect tonight’s margin to approach that.

NBA
Clippers-Knicks
NewJersey.com
The Knicks are 14-32 and have lost 10 of 11 games, including the last five straight. The addition of Rose for Sunday’s game helped, but was not good enough. Quentin Richardson did not practice, resting a bruised right shin. He is listed as probable for tonight’s game.
Lakers-Mavericks
Dallas Morning News
They are 1-4 so far on a seven-game road trip that ends Wednesday in Houston. Injuries have hurt them as starters Mihm (shoulder) and Lamar Odom (ribs) are doubtful. The Lakers have played as many close games as any team in the league. They are 12-11 when the final margin is six points or fewer. The Lakers are the only team this season to have beaten the Mavericks twice.
CBB
Missouri Stat-Southern Illinois
Press Notes
The Southern Illinois University men’s basketball team returns home Tuesday night against Missouri State, a team which has had the Salukis’ number in recent years. Missouri State (15-6, 8-5) trails the Salukis (16-7, 9-4) by one game in the Missouri Valley Conference standings, and have won four out of the last five meetings between the two. The Bears beat SIU by seven points in Springfield in January, and they have also knocked Southern out of the MVC Tournament the last two years. The game will feature a showcase of two elites in the MVC. Missouri State, the most prolific scoring offense will be playing a Saluki defense that is ranked fifth in the nation in scoring defense by allowing only 56 points per game.
Duke-North Carolina
Press Notes
After defeating Florida State by one point in overtime at Durham, the No. 2 Blue Devils (21-1, 9-0 ACC) head to Chapel Hill on Tuesday night to take on the newly ranked No. 23 Tar Heels (14-5, 5-3) in the teams’ first meeting of the season. The teams split two meetings in 2004-05, with the Blue Devils winning by one point in the first matchup and the Tar Heels winning by two in the second game. While Duke has dominated the series of late, taking 15 of the last 18 meetings, North Carolina has won five of the last seven at the Smith Center. The Devils have won four in a row, beating then-No. 15 Boston College 83-81 on Wednesday before the one-point victory over the Seminoles. Although this season has been rocky at times for a young Tar Heels squad, Carolina has won three in a row coming into Tuesday’s matchup.
St. Joseph’s-Villanova
Press Notes
Saint Joseph’s and fourth-ranked Villanova will play for the Big 5 title. The Hawks Dave Mallon is questionable for the game after suffering a grade-2 sprain of his left ankle at Dayton, which kept him out of the St. Bonaventure game. Mallon went down with 11:30 to play in the first half and was sidelined for the rest of the game. The Hawks missed the senior whom Phil Martelli has called, “the anchor of the defense” and “our best communicator on defense”. SJU owns a 19-3 record against city teams over the last four seasons (counting this year). This mark counts all games against Philadelphia teams (Drexel included). The Hawks went 3-3 last season and are 4-0 in 2005-06 with wins over Drexel, Temple, La Salle and Penn.
Tennessee-Kentucky
Press Notes
Tennessee hasn’t had much success against Kentucky over the past few seasons, but this time around, it’s the one sitting in the Top 25. The 11th-ranked Volunteers (16-3, 7-1 SEC) enter their 200th matchup with the Wildcats (15-7, 5-3) as a ranked team for the first time since 2001 when they play at Rupp Arena on Tuesday.Kentucky and Tennessee have the second-most played rivalry in SEC history with the Wildcats leading the all-time series 137-62. Kentucky swept all three meetings last season, including a 76-62 victory in the conference tournament, and has won eight in a row over Tennessee. The Vols have dropped six straight in Lexington since a 47-46 win on Jan. 12, 1999. Tennessee now plays four of its next five on the road, including a rematch with the Gators on Feb. 22.
Virginia-Maryland
Press Notes
Virginia enters tonight’s Atlantic Coast Conference game with an 11-8 overall record and a 5-4 mark in the ACC. The Cavaliers snapped a two-game losing streak with a 75-73 victory over Wake Forest (Feb. 4) at University Hall. Maryland stands at 14-7 overall and 4-4 in the ACC.

Missouri Stat-Southern Illinois
Press Notes
The Southern Illinois University men’s basketball team returns home Tuesday night against Missouri State, a team which has had the Salukis’ number in recent years. Missouri State (15-6, 8-5) trails the Salukis (16-7, 9-4) by one game in the Missouri Valley Conference standings, and have won four out of the last five meetings between the two. The Bears beat SIU by seven points in Springfield in January, and they have also knocked Southern out of the MVC Tournament the last two years. The game will feature a showcase of two elites in the MVC. Missouri State, the most prolific scoring offense will be playing a Saluki defense that is ranked fifth in the nation in scoring defense by allowing only 56 points per game.
Duke-North Carolina
Press Notes
After defeating Florida State by one point in overtime at Durham, the No. 2 Blue Devils (21-1, 9-0 ACC) head to Chapel Hill on Tuesday night to take on the newly ranked No. 23 Tar Heels (14-5, 5-3) in the teams’ first meeting of the season. The teams split two meetings in 2004-05, with the Blue Devils winning by one point in the first matchup and the Tar Heels winning by two in the second game. While Duke has dominated the series of late, taking 15 of the last 18 meetings, North Carolina has won five of the last seven at the Smith Center. The Devils have won four in a row, beating then-No. 15 Boston College 83-81 on Wednesday before the one-point victory over the Seminoles. Although this season has been rocky at times for a young Tar Heels squad, Carolina has won three in a row coming into Tuesday’s matchup.
St. Joseph’s-Villanova
Press Notes
Saint Joseph’s and fourth-ranked Villanova will play for the Big 5 title. The Hawks Dave Mallon is questionable for the game after suffering a grade-2 sprain of his left ankle at Dayton, which kept him out of the St. Bonaventure game. Mallon went down with 11:30 to play in the first half and was sidelined for the rest of the game. The Hawks missed the senior whom Phil Martelli has called, “the anchor of the defense” and “our best communicator on defense”. SJU owns a 19-3 record against city teams over the last four seasons (counting this year). This mark counts all games against Philadelphia teams (Drexel included). The Hawks went 3-3 last season and are 4-0 in 2005-06 with wins over Drexel, Temple, La Salle and Penn.

Delaware-James Madison
Delaware Online
Nothing has been more certain than a Delaware victory over James Madison in the Blue Hens’ five Colonial Athletic Association men’s basketball seasons. Delaware’s 95-68 rout on Jan. 19 in Newark was its ninth win in as many tries against JMU (3-17, 0-12). Since that’s one of the few bright spots in a 6-15, 2-10 season, the Blue Hens know better than to expect an easy time in tonight’s rematch.Delaware has won 63-61 and 70-69 squeakers here the last two seasons. JMU has lost 12 straight, most by lopsided margins. Delaware has won just two of its last 11.

TEXAS TECH +11 Texas
Folks this is a great example of a true “revenge” angle. Let’s quote ourselves from one of our many articles. Revenge is among the most misused angles in selecting winners. It seems 95 percent of the time I hear someone touting revenge it s predicting one team (almost always a favorite or at least virtual pick em games) annihilating their combatant
But in yet another example of what separates the discerning from the dis-earning is knowing where retaliation pays its biggest dividends. Year in and year out we have found ill will is a huge factor when a big dog is avoiding being thoroughly embarrassed again.
For example if an inferior team lost by 40 points to a superior team and is getting 15 points in the rematch the dog is much more motivated to preserve one’s dignity by avoiding another whitewash.
There is no better motivation to have a big underdog provoked to keep a score respectable than to have previously been obliterated by their opponent. That is the case here. Texas humiliated Tech 80-46 earlier this year.
Now Tech will do whatever it takes to avoid getting embarrassed by their in-state rivals a second time and on their own home court. Folks 11 of Tech’s 12 wins are at home but just one of their 10 losses. Tech as much as any team in the land is much better at home.
All that adds up to a cover and a potential upset.
