Penn-Princeton

Press Notes

Princeton (11-15, 9-4 Ivy) has
spent the Ivy League season proving that isn’t the team that began the season
with just two wins in its first 12 games. The Tigers will have one more chance
to prove that Tuesday against the Quakers (20-7, 12-1 Ivy), who have won three
straight and eight of their last nine against Princeton.
The Tigers clinched second place in the league standings with a 56-45 win at
Yale Saturday. Penn clinched the outright Ivy title and an NCAA berth when it
defeated Yale Friday and the Tigers lost at Brown. The Quakers were then taken
to overtime by Brown Saturday night before pulling out a 74-68 victory. 52% of Princeton’s
shots this season have come from three-point range. 45% of the Tigers’ points
this season have come from beyond the arc.

Colorado State-TCU

Press Notes

The Rams enter the tournament as the No. 8 seed after a
4-12 conference record while TCU comes in No. 9 going
2-14 in league play on the year. The Horned Frogs hold a 6-24 overall record
and have won just once in their last 10 contests. TCU
closed out Mountain West play Saturday with a 72-61 loss at UNLV
giving them an 0-8 record on the road in conference
play. Colorado State
holds a 59-28 overall record in home games during Dale Layer’s six seasons. Colorado
State
has hit 103-of-239
three-pointers (.431) in Moby Arena this year. In contrast, the Rams are
73-of-213 (.343) from behind the arc away from home. After holding opponents to
a .379 field goal percentage in non-conference games, CSU allowed league
opponents to shoot at a .475 clip through the regular season. MWC foes scored 76.5 points per game on the Rams compared to a 67.0 points per game average in non-conference play.

Butler-Wisconsin Milwaukee

Press Notes

Although critics of the 3-pointer contend accuracy comes
and goes and imperils teams that rely on the shot, the Bulldogs simply must do
so. They have no player taller than 6-6, and they have outrebounded
opponents once in 30 games. Butler
has made 30 3-pointers over the past two games, raising its season total to
272. That ranks fifth in the NCAA.

NBA

Warriors-Hawks

Mercury News

The Hawks have beaten some quality teams and gave Miami
all it could handle Saturday before losing 95-93. The Hawks will be
well-rested, having not played since the Heat game. The Warriors won the first
meeting 122-97 in the season opener Nov. 2 in Oakland.

Nets-Bulls

Press Notes

The Atlantic Division-leading Nets look for their eighth
straight win over Chicago when they
kick off a three-game road trip against the struggling Bulls. New
Jersey
has allowed its opponents to score at least
100 points in a season-high five straight games, going 1-4 in that span and
allowing Philadelphia within two
games of the division lead. The Nets also are coming off their most lopsided
home loss of the season, 109-84 to Sacramento
on Monday. New Jersey shot just 37.1
percent from the floor, while the Kings shot 49.4 percent. The Nets are
outscoring Chicago by 8.5 points in
their last eight meetings, and have not lost to the Bulls since April 11, 2003. Chicago
fell to 6-6 in its last 12 games after a 91-72 loss to Cleveland
on Sunday.
