CBB

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.
