On the heels of a dramatic win over Syracuse, the Hoyas will look to find another knockout punch for their showdown with Marquette. The problem with that is, when Buzz Williams' team gets punched in the mouth, they get up and fight back. Unflappable in close games, Marquette has the look of a team that thrives amongst drama and this matchup with Georgetown is sure to bring just that. Sharpshooting forward Lazar Hayward will present a nightmare of matchup problems for the Hoyas big men and just as he's been all year long, Hayward will be the difference.

Talking to some followers of the elusive puck — between Broadway and The Bowery — I'm beginning to wonder whether the power of positive thinking has become as obsolete as the Oldsmobile.
Needless to say, our subject du jour happens to be the Rangers and their fate between now and April 11 when the Blueshirts end the regular season at Philadelphia.
There was a lot to like about New Jersey’s 6-3 win over New York Wednesday regarding balance. What’s clear is that a Devils’ team which often resembled a one-act pony (the ZZ Pops line) during much of its mid-season struggles, has the ability to put three productive lines on the ice any given night. They’ve yet to do this on a consistent basis, but the potential is there.
The Big East's most storied rivalry takes centerstage. That's bad news for the Hoyas. Despite the premier high post player in America, in Greg Monroe, Georgetown has yet to show the tangible evidence needed to play with the Orange. Syracuse is rested and focused after losing last weekend at Louisville. The best team in the country is ready to take over the World's Most Famous Arena. Again.
Catherine Proto is helping us round up the latest overseas action from the Liberty players in their off-season gigs. Let’s dive in to find out who’s still on the winning track as the overseas season begins to wind down.
We’ll start off in Turkey where Nicole Powell and Fenerbahce remain the only unbeaten team in Turkish League, holding onto a 16-0 record. The latest victory was over Galatasaray where Nicole shot 60% from the field for nine points and four rebounds.
It was a tough way to end the season for Rutgers, as Cincinnati edged the Scarlet Knights in the final seconds, 69-68. I talked with coach Fred Hill about the game and the future of the program.
Don't plan on bringing your track shoes for this one. The Bulls and
Hoyas are two teams that use the shot clock as well as I use a knife and
fork. Methodical in their approach, look for Stan Heath's team to
utilize junior guard Dominique Jones in one-on-one situations early and
often. Georgetown might have had a bounce in their step early this
season but it's been lost during the last few weeks. Here's saying they
won't regain it on Wednesday.
Like the Titanic and The Iceberg, colossal collisions are inevitable everywhere -- especially in the National Hockey League.
That explains why the Rangers’ invasion of the Prudential Center in Newark on Wednesday is so riveting to fans on both the Eastern and Western sides of the Hudson River.
In plain English, this IS the most important game of the campaign -- so far, at least -- for both John Tortorella's skaters as well as Jacques Lemaire's stickhandlers.

Is it a sin to be an optimist?

After scoring 109 points in a win over Providence to open the Big East Tournament, Seton Hall's offense was shut down in a 68-56 loss to Notre Dame in the second round. Here's what coach Bobby Gonzalez told me after the game about his team's performance and the prospects of making the NCAA Tourney.
I'd guess that Ilya Kovalchuk didn't have too many nights like this for the Thrashers. The Devils scored six goals versus the Rangers, and the team registered 18 points scored: none by the Russian superstar.
