Spurs End Two-Game Losing Streak, Edge Warriors 107-106
One thing that the San Antonio Spurs isn’t typically known for is prolonged losing streaks; prior to their game Tuesday night against the Golden State Warriors, they were suffering a rare two-game winning streak. And they certainly made the game entertaining and competitive, to say the least – bearing in mind the type of game [...]
Turkoglu Leads Big Second Half Magic Rally, Edge Knicks 106-102
On most nights, the Orlando Magic-New York Knicks matchup is, for the most part, competitive and not exactly low-scoring, either. Monday night’s game between these two combatants would prove not to disappoint. Dwight Howard got his points, as expected, but it was Hedo Turkoglu sparked a big second-half Magic rally, enabling Orlando to escape Madison [...]
Wildcats End Vikings’ Cinderella Run, Win 71-57
For the Cleveland State Vikings, it was fun while it lasted. In their game on Sunday against the Arizona Wildcats at Miami, they simply lost their offensive mojo as they shot only 37% from the floor while Arizona shot an even 50% – with the end result being the Wildcats bouncing the Vikings from the NCAA tournament [...]
Musketeers Overcome Badgers Defense, Advance 60-49
Defense was the order of the day in Sunday’s game between the Wisconsin badgers and Xavier Musketeers at Boise, ID; neither team shot all that well – Xavier at 39.1% while Wisconsin shot a sickly 28.6% – yet Xavier managed to pull away in the second half as they held back Wisconsin 60-49 to advance [...]
Devendorf, Rautins Lead Orange Past Sun Devils 78-67
Syracuse Orange guard Jonny Flynn was getting the lion’s share of attention from the Arizona State defenders in Sunday’s game at Miami. Not a wise move as it would turn out since Eric Devendorf and Andy Rautins would hit key 2-pointers late in the second half, advancing Syracuse to the Sweet 16 by bouncing Arizona [...]
Late Free Throws Help Tigers Edge Golden Eagles 83-79
The 3rd-seeded Missouri Tigers definitely had their hands full going up against the 6th-seeded Marquette Golden Eagles on Sunday as this was by far the toughest game for the Tigers in this tournament. The Golden Eagles top scorers made their points, as usual; however, it took a bench player for the Tigers – Kim English [...]
Cavaliers Rip Down Nets 96-88
Like a cat playing with a mouse, the Cavaliers took to the swap of New Jersey on Sunday night, and barely broke a sweat in a rather lackluster 96-88 win over the New Jersey Nets. Much like Saturday’s six-point win over the Hawks at the Q, Sunday’s win really didn’t tell the story about how [...]
