In comparison the Hoyas shot 57 percent from the field and went to the line 28 times, hitting 19 of their free-throws.The Orange actually led 40-37 at the break and built a 59-51 advantage in the second half but the Hoyas used a 13-0 run to grab a 64-59 lead and never let Syracuse back in front. Chris Wright led the Hoyas with 27 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists while Greg Monroe finished with 15 points, 10 boards and 7 assists in the win.Entering the game Syracuse was a favorite for a number one seed in the NCAA tournament but with their loss on Thursday they could see their position slip while Georgetown may have jumped a few spots come Sunday’s http://blogs.transworldnews.com/Brendan123456/Post.aspx?postID=80412 http://blogs.transworldnews.com/Brendan123456/Post.aspx?postID=80412 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:15:16 GMT Sports The NBA has three games on the schedule for Thursday night and with the Atlanta Hawks traveling to face the Washington Wizards, the Chicago Bulls on the road against the Orlando Magic and the Portland Trail Blazers heading to Golden State to face the Warriors.The Hawks have dropped two straight and have seen their hopes of catching the Magic in the Southeast dim but they could still pass the Boston Celtics for the number three seed in the Eastern Conference. The Wizards have dropped four straight and look ready for the season to end.Perhaps the most interesting game of the night will be when the Orlando Magic shoot for their seventh straight win in a matchup with the Chicago Bulls. Orlando looks to be the number two seed in the Eastern Conference while the Bulls are currently sitting on the outside looking in. Chicago is just a game out of the playoffs and with a few wins in a row they could become the sixth seed.Offense will almost certainly be on display in Golden State when the Warriors host the Portland http://blogs.transworldnews.com/Brendan123456/Post.aspx?postID=80411 http://blogs.transworldnews.com/Brendan123456/Post.aspx?postID=80411 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:14:45 GMT Sports The Big East college basketball tournament is now into its quarterfinals phase with four games on the slate for Thursday and there’s still plenty at stake for each team.Syracuse won the regular season title in the Big East and could likely lock up a number one seed for the NCAA tournament if they are able to knock off the Georgetown Hoyas on Thursday. The Orange aren’t the only ones playing for NCAA seeding as the Hoyas look to improve their standing come the Madness.Following the Syracuse-Georgetown showdown the Villanova Wildcats will get their Big East tournament started with a 2:00 p.m. ET matchup against the Marquette Golden Eagles. Villanova could earn a number two seed in the NCAA tournament with a Big East conference tournament title while Marquette is a lock for the tournament but is probably staring at a mid-seed.Game three action begins at 7:00 p.m. ET as the Pittsburgh Panthers look for a bit of revenge against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The Panthers were beat up by the Irish in their last http://blogs.transworldnews.com/Brendan123456/Post.aspx?postID=80240 http://blogs.transworldnews.com/Brendan123456/Post.aspx?postID=80240 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:23:17 GMT Sports The Big East conference could put nine teams into the NCAA tournament but there is still work to be done for at least two of those teams. While many have Marquette and Notre Dame in the field of 65 both schools would like to eliminate any doubt with a win on Wednesday.Both Marquette and Notre Dame will take the court later in the day as Georgetown gets things started when they face South Florida at noon. The Hoyas are considered a lock for the NCAA tournament while the Bulls need a win to keep their hopes alive. If South Florida can make a deep run in the Big East tournament they could snag an at-large bid.Marquette and St. John’s will follow at 2:00 p.m. ET and while the Golden Eagles have put together an impressive resume they would love to get at least one win in the Big East tournament. That might not be as easy as they like as they take on a Red Storm team that punished UConn on Tuesday.At 7:00 p.m. ET Notre Dame will face Seton Hall with a shot at sealing an NCAA bid and a bit of revenge.

The Lakers will have a shot at ending that slide on Tuesday night as they host the Toronto Raptors, a team still trying to keep their playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.While Kobe wants to end a streak Dwight Howard wants to keep one going as his Orlando Magic have collected five wins in a row and could snag number six on Tuesday with awin over the LA Clippers. Orlando has climbed to within 5 ½ games of the Cleveland Cavaliers for the number one seed in the Eastern Conference and the team has been rolling since Vince Carter has found his role.The Miami Heat and Charlotte Bobcats meet on Tuesday in a key matchup between Eastern Conference teams battling for a playoff berth.

That loss moved the Kansas Jayhawks back to #1, a spot they’ve held multiple times this year, while also pushing the Kentucky Wildcats up a spot to #2 in the rankings.Syracuse fell to #3 this week but are still a favorite to pick up a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, joining Kansas, Kentucky and the #4 Duke Blue Devils as top seeds in their regional bracket.Kansas is hitting on all cylinders right now after blowing out Kansas State and Missouri this past week. The Jayhawks are a clear favorite to win the Big 12 conference tournament and earn the overall number one seed come tournament time.Kentucky is also playing at an elevated level with convincing wins over Georgia and Florida.

Smith published a column on Monday that said Iverson “will either drink himself into oblivion or gamble his life away.”Those gambling problems have led to his banishment from casinos in Detroit and Atlantic City.One of the most popular players in NBA history Iverson has had a difficult time finding the right team over the past several years. The 2001 NBA MVP had a brief run with the Denver Nuggets that ended after the 2008 season and then an even shorter stint with the Detroit Pistons.

Dallas has one of the best road records in the NBA at 21-12 while the Timberwolves are a woeful 9-22 on their own court, only the New Jersey Nets are worse.LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers will also be in action as they host the San Antonio Spurs who are now forced to go through the remainder of the regular season without Tony Parker.

While that may be true there is plenty on the line for several teams as Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers try to bounce back from a loss on Thursday, LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers look to extend their NBA-best record and the San Antonio Spurs and New Orleans Hornets face off in a Western Conference showdown.LeBron has his Cavaliers on a five-game winning streak and will be looking to make it six when they host the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons have lost five straight and own just seven road victories this year while Cleveland has the best home record in the NBA at 26-4.Kobe scored 39 points on Thursday night but his Lakers fell to the Miami Heat in South Florida.

After the pair got tangled and the whistle blew Barncastle turned her head from Griner who then delivered an overhand right to the face, breaking the freshman’s nose.On Thursday the Big 12 ruled that Griner would have to sit out Baylor’s final regular season game and could face further disciplinary action that would knock her out of the Big 12 tournament as well as the NCAA tournament.Click here for moreSports NewsAbout WooEBWooEB Community is a business, music andsocial networking community.

In the nightcap the Utah Jazz head to Phoenix to face the Suns, both teams have their eyes on the number two spot in the Western Conference.Los Angeles is trying to keep pace with the Cleveland Cavaliers for the NBA’s best record and would love nothing more than to lock up home-court throughout the playoffs.
