ARKANSAS LITTLE ROCK +6’ South
Alabama

As we wrote in an article many years ago and as Steve Lavin, former UCLA coach should know, postseason can be a
new beginning for underachieving teams and that’s the way it is for Little
Rock
. “We are playing with more energy and more
passion,” said UALR guard Zach Wright. “I think we
showed when we play to our capabilities we are a pretty good team.”

Villanova-Syracuse

NY Times

Gerry McNamara, who plays the game with an almost
unmatched intensity, has never missed a game at Syracuse
— his streak of 129 starts is tops in the nation. But now the end of his
college career is near. McNamara will play his last regular-season home game
today against No. 4 Villanova, and he will be sent off in style. For the first
time in its 26-year history, the Carrier Dome is sold out, which means the
Orange’s N.C.A.A. record for largest on-campus crowd
to see a college basketball game — 33,199, set a season ago against Notre Dame
— will be eclipsed.

Fordham-Temple

Press Notes

The teams are currently entangled in a four-way tie for
fifth place in the conference standings. 
With help and a win, Temple
can secure the fourth seed in the A-10 Tournament which begins Wednesday in Cincinnati
and the all-important first round bye that goes with it. The Owls bring an 11-1
record at the Liacouras
Center
into the contest.

Denver-Middle Tennessee
State

Press Notes

The Pioneers (15-14, 7-8) travel to Murfreesboro,
Tenn.
, for the 2006 Sun Belt Conference
Championship hosted by Middle Tennessee. Denver’s first game will be on Sunday,
March 5 at 11 a.m. MT. DU is the No. 3 West Seed and
will play East No. 2 Middle Tennessee (16-11, 8-6). The Pioneers are riding a
two-game losing streak into the SBC Championship. DU
lost at South Alabama, 74-65 and at Troy,
76-68. The Blue Raiders are riding a three-game winning streak into the SBC
Championship. MT defeated Arkansas-Little Rock, 68-58, Western
Kentucky
, 80-74 and Florida International, 82-58. The Blue Raiders
have won eight of their last 10 games. The Pioneers are 2-12 on the road and MT
is 8-3 at home. DU and MT meet for the eighth time
with the Blue Raiders leading the series, 4-3, but Denver
has won the last two meetings, including a 72-62 victory earlier this year in Murfreesboro.
DU is 2-2 all-time in the Murphy
Center
.

Arkansas-Georgia

Baxter Bulletin

Three rollicking full houses at home and even the
opposition full house at Tennessee
energized Stan Heath’s Razorbacks in their current
4-game winning streak. The energy surges Arkansas
to a virtual NCAA Tournament lock — their first since 2001 — at 20-8 overall,
9-6 in the SEC West. Football crazy Georgia
doesn’t get all that fired up about the Bulldogs’ basketball anyway, especially
when the Dawgs are but 15-13, 5-10 in the SEC East
like now. So the Razorbacks can expect a paltry, apathetic assembly looking on
much like when Ole Miss (14-14, 4-11 in the SEC West) upset them 73-70 at
Oxford, Miss. Arkansas’ lack of energy at Mississippi matched its surroundings
in its last loss before the four-game winning streak. “That energy in the
building,” Arkansas coach Stan
Heath said, “sometimes even if it is not for you — really gives them fuel in
their fire. So I do worry about that a little bit. We’ve got to find a way to
correct it.” It probably doesn’t help Arkansas
that some may regard this merely as a marking time game before Thursday’s start
to the SEC Tournament in Nashville.

Wyoming-Utah

Press Notes

The Runnin’ Utes (12-14, 5-10 MWC) close out the regular season against the Wyoming

overtime game. Utah is playing
one redshirt freshman and four other newcomers. Through 26 games, 58.0 percent
of the Utes’ points, 48.4 percent of their rebounds, 52.1 percent of their
assists, and 54.2 percent of their minutes played have come from first-year players. The Utes are 12-4 when holding their opponents
to 68 points or less this season and 0-10 when allowing 69 points or more. Over
the last nine games, Utah has
held its opponents to an average of 61.3 points per game on 40.6 percent
shooting from the field and 32.5 percent from three-point range. The Utes have

record against ACC teams.  Clemson’s 17
wins so far this season are already the most by a Clemson team since 1998-99

NBA

Wizards-Sixers

Philadelphia Inquirer

The Sixers, 4-1 since the all-star break, are starting to
hope. Now would be a good time to avenge those two embarrassing defeats. The
Sixers (29-28) are playing more like a team, which usually translates to wins. The
Houston game marked the fourth time
in their last five games they have shot at least 50 percent from the field.
Their 51.9 percent mark was the highest allowed by the defensive-minded Rockets
all season. The Sixers will get a chance tonight to atone for two of their most
embarrassing defeats of the season when the Wizards visit Philadelphia
for the first time. The Sixers played a pair of afternoon games against the
Wizards at the MCI Center
and sleepwalked through both of them. They set a season low for points and
shooting percentage (33.3) in a 104-76 loss on Jan. 16, and lost the Feb. 12
rematch, 107-97, in a game Washington
led comfortably throughout the second half. The Wizards have lost their last
two games to slip from fifth to sixth in the Eastern Conference playoff
picture. With a win tonight, the Sixers can leap ahead of Washington
into sixth.

Knicks-Bulls

INS News

The Knicks have lost 21 of their last 23 games, and five
of their last six to the Bulls. Chicago
was the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs last season, but is
currently 3 ½ games behind the Milwaukee
for the eighth and final playoff spot after dropping nine of its last 14 games.
The Bulls scored a season-low 17 points in the first quarter Thursday night
against Cleveland, rallied from a
25-point deficit but lost 92-91 to the Cavaliers.

Magic-Suns

Orlando Sentinel

Magic PG Jameer Nelson, who has
missed the past 20 games because of cartilage damage to his right foot, might
play. It would be a game-time decision. If he plays, the Magic would have to
place another player on the inactive list, likely C Mario Kasun
or F Trevor Ariza. The Magic have lost 10 of their
past 11 games, including their past three. Phoenix
is leading the Pacific Division at 39-17 and has an eight-game winning streak.
The Suns are 23-8 at home. The Suns lost to the Magic 111-102 in Orlando
on Jan. 24. The Magic shot 54.7 percent from the floor and outscored the Suns
27-19 in the fourth.

CBB

Loyola-Detroit

Press Notes

Winners of the last four games, Loyola, the hottest team
in the Horizon League, looks to advance to the semifinal round of the Horizon
League Championship for the third time in the last five seasons as it faces
Detroit Friday night. The victor of this game will meet top-seeded UW-Milwaukee
Saturday night in a game to be televised by ESPNU.
The Titans ended the Ramblers’ season in the quarterfinal round of the Horizon
League Championship in both 2003 and 2004. In 2003, Loyola fell to Detroit,
98-84 at U.S Cellular Arena in Milwaukee
in David Bailey’s final game as a Rambler. Loyola is 3-2 against Detroit
in conference tournament action. Loyola is 22-25 (.468) all-time in league
tournament action, but is 7-4 over the last five seasons. Since the new Horizon
League Championship format was introduced three years ago, the Ramblers are 4-0
in first-round games. Loyola dropped nine consecutive opening-round games from
1993-2001, but has gone 5-0 in its tournament lid-lifters since that dry spell.

CBB

CITADEL +12 Furman

The Citadel will rally around their head coach who is
barring a miracle coaching in his last game tonight.  Pat Dennis made a couple of decisions this
season that honored his school, his team and a player. He suspended his star
player and recommended his point guard take a medical redshirt rather than play
through a stress fracture.

.

Despite knowing the final year of his contract was
expiring, Dennis made an uncomfortable bed for himself. He lived with the
results of those decisions, and they were not pretty. The Citadel won eight
games and lost 20. A regular-season-ending victory against Wofford
kept the Bulldogs from going winless in the Southern Conference.

“I just looked for what was best for the team in both
situations,” Dennis says. “We did the right thing with (the injured player)
personally, and we did the right thing with (the suspended player) for the
team.”

The big dogs are actually playing well and winning two in
a row and play a very inconsistent double digit favorite.
