Old Dominion-Hofstra
Virginian Pilot
The Monarchs earned a rematch with their Colonial Athletic
Association brethren Monday night with a 70-66 victory over never-say-die Manhattan
in the second round of the National Invitation Tournament. Now, the Monarchs
must travel Wednesday to Long Island, where the last
time there they were victimized by a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Aurimas Kieza in a 65-63 loss. Hofstra, which has not lost at home this season, earned its
spot in the quarterfinals with a 77-75 victory at Saint
Joseph’s earlier Monday night.
Press Notes
The Monarchs (23-9) travel to Hempstead,
NY to meet CAA
rival Hofstra. The winner earns a trip to Madison
Square Gardens
next week. ODU defeated Manhattan
Monday night, 70-66, while Hofstra beat St.
Joseph’s, 77-75 in overtime. Four of the five meetings
between ODU and Hofstra
played in New York have been
decided by two points or less. Hofstra is the only
team to beat ODU in Norfolk
each of the last two years, while the Monarchs were the last team to win on the
Pride’s home court.
Miami-Michigan
Press Notes
The top-seeded University
of Michigan (20-10) hosts the
third-seeded University of Miami
(18-15) in the quarterfinals of the NIT with the winner earning trip to Madison
Square Garden
for semifinals, March 28, against the winner of the Old Dominion-Hofstra quarterfinal game. Michigan
advanced to the quarterfinals with an 87-84 double-overtime win over Notre Dame
on Monday at Crisler Arena.
NBA
Hornets-Cavaliers
Cleveland Plain Dealer
The Charlotte Bobcats bring the NBA’s second-worst road
record – 6-28 – to The Q tonight. It should make everyone in the Cavaliers’
front office nervous. The Cavaliers are 24-10 at home, but three of the losses
have been to teams – New York, Atlanta,
Golden State
– that rank among the league’s worst on the road. The Knicks, 6-26 away from
Madison Square Garden, handed the Cavaliers a 92-84 defeat at The Q in
mid-January; the Hawks, 7-25 away from Philips Arena, rolled out of Cleveland
with a 100-94 victory in mid-December; the Warriors, 10-21 on the road, knocked
off the Cavaliers, 99-91, at The Q in mid-February.
Knicks-Magic
Orlando Sentinel
Orlando is
returning home to face former Magic G Steve Francis, who was traded last month
to the Knicks. New York is having
a nightmare season. Not only do the Knicks have one of the worst records in the
league, but controversies hit the tabloids nearly every day. The latest was a
feud between G Stephon Marbury
and Coach Larry Brown.
Bulls-Pacers
USA Today
The Pacers have dropped three of their last four games and
now lead the Milwaukee Bucks by just percentage points for sixth place in the
Eastern Conference. The Bulls – losers of three in a row – are in ninth place,
2 ½ games behind the Philadelphia
76ers for the final playoff spot and five games in back of the Pacers and
Bucks. Indiana has lost its last
two games by double-digit margins, 103-88 Sunday to Boston
and 105-75 Tuesday at Memphis. The
30-point margin at Memphis was Indiana’s
second-most lopsided defeat of the season, and its worst since a 122-90 loss
Nov. 16 at Charlotte.
