Daily Sports Roundup

Saturday, January 2

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: Oklahoma State takes on Mississippi in the Cotton Bowl, while the Cavs play the Nets, and the Penguins meet the Lightning.

Colliding on the gridiron . . .

There are five bowl games on the schedule for Saturday, with South Florida vs. Northern Illinois in the International Bowl, South Carolina vs. Connecticut in the Papa John's.com Bowl, Arkansas vs. East Carolina in the Liberty Bowl, Michigan State vs. Texas Tech in the Alamo Bowl, and Oklahoma State vs. Mississippi in the Cotton Bowl. The No. 18 Cowboys (9-3 SU, 5-5-1 ATS) are the only ranked team in action on Saturday, and they'll be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 27-0 loss to Oklahoma. Mississippi, though, is the 3-point favorite.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

The NBA's 12-game slate for Saturday includes a huge mismatch in New Jersey, with the Nets (3-29 SU, 10-21-1 ATS) playing host to LeBron James and the Cavaliers (26-8 SU, 18-16 ATS). Cleveland is coming off a 106-101 win over Atlanta on Wednesday night, with James pouring in 48 points to go along with 10 rebounds in that contest. New Jersey picked up a rare win in their last outing, beating New York 104-95 on Wednesday. Yi Jianlian had 22 points in that victory.

Also on the NBA hardwood on Saturday: Charlotte at Miami, San Antonio at Washington, Minnesota at Indiana, Toronto at Boston, Orlando at Chicago, Houston at New Orleans, Oklahoma City at Milwaukee, Denver at Utah, Golden State at Portland, Dallas at Sacramento, and Memphis at Phoenix. The Suns (21-12 SU, 19-13-1 ATS) won their second straight game last time out, getting past Boston 116-98 on Wednesday. Amare Stoudemire had 26 points on the day.

Top-10 teams in action around college basketball on Saturday include No. 5 Syracuse (vs. Pittsburgh), No. 10 Connecticut (vs. Notre Dame), No. 3 Kentucky (vs. Louisville), No. 8 Villanova (at Marquette), No. 2 Texas (vs. TAMU Corpus Christi), and No. 1 Kansas (at No. 18 Temple). As well, a second ranked matchup on the slate has No. 11 Michigan State at No. 25 Northwestern. The Spartans (10-3 SU, 3-9 ATS) got past Texas Arlington by a score of 87-68 last time out, and the Wildcats (10-2 SU, 6-3 ATS) fell 89-83 to Illinois on Wednesday.

Taking a trip around the rink . . .

Finally, the NHL has a dozen games on the Saturday schedule, with Carolina at the Rangers, Vancouver at Dallas, Washington at Los Angeles, Toronto at Calgary, Atlanta at the Islanders, Colorado at Columbus, Anaheim at Nashville, Detroit at Phoenix, Chicago at St. Louis, New Jersey at Minnesota, Edmonton at San Jose, and Pittsburgh at Tampa Bay. The 26-14-1 Penguins are coming off a 2-0 loss to the Devils in their last game on Wednesday night, while the 15-15-10 Lightning were beaten by a score of 2-1 in overtime by the Habs on Wednesday.

Six-pack for Saturday

-- Drew Brees is #3 QB for Saints Sunday; he gets a well-earned day off.

-- Bruins beat Flyers in OT Friday at Fenway Park, first time in four outdoor NHL games that the home team won.

-- It is January 2, and Marist's hoop team (0-11) is still winless. Yikes.

-- BCS has ruined New Year's Day, not that anyone cares; there are still nine bowl games left to be played-- divorce lawyers must love this.

-- I wish I got $1 every time ESPN's Jay Bilas says the word "tough" on the air, because my next trip to Las Vegas would be covered easily.

-- Bobby Bowden's first win as a football coach came two months before I was born-- I just turned 50. Thanks for all the entertainment, coach.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Saturday's List of 13: Random thoughts on the first day of 2010.....

13) Northwestern-Auburn had wild ending, with Wildcats' kicker missing a winning FG in regulation, then a tying FG in OT, but he got roughed on the second miss, and a penalty was called. But the kicker was hurt, so another kid was brought out to kick, but he musn't be very good, since Wildcats tried a fake FG to win the game, which failed miserably. Exciting though.

12) Northwestern QB Kafka's stats Friday: 47-78 for 532 yards, with five INTs and four TD passes. Hope he iced his arm after the game.

11) In case you're wondering, Drew Brees once tossed 83 passes in game for Purdue, which is the D-I record for most passes in a game.

10) Outgoing Florida State defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews was a college teammate of Joe Namath at Alabama.

9) Florida State was 4-29 in the three years before Bobby Bowden came to Tallahassee to put the school on the athletic map. He deserved better than to go out on a rainy day in an inconsequential bowl. Sad thing is, Florida State is going to be really good next year as result of all their young players getting so much experience this season. Not everything ends well.

8) Texas Stadium will be demolished sometime between March 14-April 18; for some reason, Kraft Foods became an offical sponsor of the event, and has named it "Cheddar Explosion". Pricetag for this: a mere $75,000, which is the amount of products they'll donate to local charities.

7) Basketball ref John Cahill is from Albany; he once ran for DA in Albany County-- he's a good guy despite being a lawyer. He's also a really, really busy ref-- he worked UConn-Cincy Wednesday, then Michigan-Indiana at noon Thursday, Purdue-West Virginia Friday afternoon, and he has the Louisville-Kentucky game Saturday afternoon. Quite a schedule.

6) Coaching in the NBA can't be a lot different than running an asylum for Pete's sake; word out of Washington is that Gilbert Arenas and kid named Crittendon from Georgia Tech pulled guns on each other in Wizards' locker room over a gambling debt. Might be time for them to switch the nickname of the team back to Bullets, the way it was until the 1980's.

5) Funniest thing is that the Wizards reported the incident, because if he is convicted of a felony, Arenas' absurd contract is voided, saving Wizards a small fortune, and allowing them to overpay another undeserving nutcase.

4) Purdue pounded West Virginia in meeting of unbeatens; Mountaineers are weird team; not only are they slightly overscheduled, they don't have a true point guard or a center; other than sub Mitchell, they don't shoot lot of 3-pointers. They just rebound really, really well, and have big guards. Pressure bothers them though, and that hurt them at Purdue.

3) Optimistic stat for the Rams; in their first 12 games this season, their offense went 3/out on 35% of drives, with Bulger/Boller at QB. Keith Null started the last three games; they went 3/out only 15% of the time, and Steven Jackson didn't play in the last game. Null can move the chains.

2) Pac-10 teams other than USC are 1-7 in their last eight Rose Bowls.

1) There are so many nitwits and jackasses in the world today, it is sad if a guy like Tim Tebow or Kurt Warner comes along and is successful, and he is resented because he lives a cleaner life. Maybe the media makes people resent them because they harp on it so much, but a kid like Tebow should be applauded for a great college career, one of the best ever.

Pick ‘n’ Roll: Today's best NBA bets
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cleveland Cavaliers at New Jersey Nets (+11, 192.5)

The Cleveland Cavaliers are on roll. They hold the top spot in the Eastern Conference with a 26-8 record. LeBron and company have won six straight games and 11 of their last 12 overall. They have defeated the Hawks not once but twice, managed to hold the Suns under 100 points and handled the defending champion Lakers easily in a 102-87 Christmas Day victory.

The New Jersey Nets are the complete opposite. These cellar dwellers of the East are the worst team in the Association with an embarrassing 3-29 overall record. In their three wins (Charlotte, Chicago and New York), they combined to average 101 points per game while allowing 96.

Cleveland, a team who takes great pride in lockdown defense, sits fourth-best in the NBA while limiting opponents to only 93 ppg. The Nets are worst in the NBA, struggling to score above 90 points per outing.

In the second game of back-to-back wins versus the Hawks, Cleveland held the Eastern Conference’s highest scoring team scoreless for a span of 8:49 in the fourth quarter.

''It wasn't pretty,'' said Cavs head man Mike Brown. ''During that particular stretch, we were pretty physical and we were physical without fouling.''

Pick: Cavaliers

Dallas Mavericks at Sacramento Kings (N/A)

The Kings have lost three of their last four games and their schedule only continues to get tougher. Rookie standout Tyreke Evans has missed the past three games with a sprained right ankle and is expected to miss the rest of the week.

The Kings go as their rookie point guard goes. This was made clear when Evans willed his Kings from a 79-44 deficit with eight minutes left in the third quarter in Chicago on Dec. 21. Evans scored nine of his 11 fourth-quarter points in the final 2:13 while finishing with a team-high 23 points (18 in the second half) and eight rebounds in the 102-98 victory.

With help from his strong performance in Chicago, Evans was named the Western Conference Rookie of the Month in December. In his 28 games played in purple thus far, he has averaged 20.3 points, 4.9 assists and 5.1 rebounds. He has been compared to the likes of LeBron James and Derrick Rose. His unique combination of size, skill and speed makes him more than difficult to defend.

"I'm in a pretty good position right now. But I want to win, and I want us to get in the playoffs,” Evans said. “I want each team that plays us to know they're going to be in a game every night."

The Sacramento Queens won’t be in this game on this night without their prince of a point guard.

Pick: Mavericks

Atlanta Thrashers at New York Islanders (-145, 6)

Two teams outside of the playoff picture looking in will try to inch a few points closer to the eighth seed on Saturday.

The visiting Thrashers have dropped six in a row and 11 of their last 15. They will be in a back-to-back situation and have compiled a 4-2 record in that scenario this season.

New York has been brutal in the month of December (4-8-3), but it looks as if the team has finally decided on a No. 1 goaltender.

Dwayne Roloson is 14-7-5 this season and holds a 2.75 goals-against average. In the Islanders 2-1 shootout win over Columbus on Tuesday, Roloson stopped 41 shots in 65 minutes of play.

"We're finally getting everything we need to do at home," Roloson said after the game. "For us the simpler we keep our game, the better we are."

Isles captain Doug Weight returned to the lineup on Thursday after being out since Nov. 6 with a shoulder injury. The veteran played almost 16 minutes and went 2-4 on face-offs with one shot on goal.

"We're fighting to stay alive right now. I'll bring whatever experience I have on the ice and the bench," Weight said.

New York has taken the last three games in this series while the over has cashed in six of the last nine.

Pick: Islanders

Detroit Red Wings at Phoenix Coyotes (-140, 5)

Much like the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Stanley Cup runners-up are simply fighting to get into the postseason right now.

The Red Wings have been decimated by injuries this season with integral players on the team like Henrik Zetterberg, Johan Franzen and Jonathan Ericsson missing time.

"We've got to continue to battle and get points and move up in the standings," said captain Nicklas Lidstrom. "That's the way we're looking at it. We have a lot of guys out and we can't feel sorry for ourselves."

Detroit is three points removed from the last two playoff spots, occupied by Vancouver and Los Angeles who have 49 points. The Wings have been shutout in their last two road games and have dropped three straight away from home.

Meanwhile, Phoenix has played in three straight shootouts and is 6-2-2 in their last 10 outings. The Coyotes had a 10-game home win streak snapped by San Jose on Thursday. Head coach Dave Tippett was not happy with his team’s performance against the Sharks after going 0-for-6 on power-play opportunities.

"We were fortunate to get out of the game with a point," Tippett said. "We had a good burst of energy early, had shots but not a lot of quality. Then they started competing at a level where we didn't get to."

These two teams have split games this season, but Detroit has won eight of the last 10 meetings in the series.

Pick: Red Wings

The Calgary Flames are 23-12-5 and trail the Northwest division-leading Colorado Avalanche by one point. They have won three in a row following a three-game losing streak.

The Flames defeated the Maple Leafs in Toronto 5-2 earlier this season.

Goals galore

Calgary and Toronto have gone under the total once in their last 12 meetings (8-1-3) dating back to 2001.

In the past four meetings, at least seven goals have been scored and the teams are combining for an average of 9.25 goals per game.

Calgary has allowed one goal in each of its wins and gone under the total in all three games.

Toronto has allowed the second most goals in the league, but has played under the total in five of its last six games.

Burning out?

Saturday’s tilt will be Calgary’s fifth game in seven days.

As Allen Cameron of the Calgary Herald points out, a condensed schedule means less time for coaches to prepare for opponents and less practice time.

Will the Flames be tired on Saturday?

“Fatigue is just another excuse, but we're all in good shape right now,” said Calgary winger Curtis Glencross. “It's just a matter of coming out and playing the mental game, sticking to your system.”

Starting slow

Kevin McGran of the Toronto Star observes that the Maple Leafs have allowed the first goal in 29 of 41 games this season.

"Consistency and our starts, they go hand-in-hand," said forward Lee Stempniak. "If you come out and dictate the pace of play, you're not going to be down 1-0, 2-0. It's hard to come back."

Toronto is still looking for consistent play. Other than a stretch in early December where they won six of eight games, the Maple Leafs are 8-16-9 this season.

Edmonton Oilers at San Jose Sharks (-300, 5.5)

The basics

The late HNIC matchup features the top and bottom teams in the Western Conference.

Edmonton has lost eight of its last nine (1-8-0) en route to a 16-21-4 record. The Sharks have won seven in a row following a season high five-game losing streak (0-2-3) and are 26-8-7.

Under-whelming

Edmonton and San Jose have gone over the total in two of their last three matchups, but the over is 2-7-1 in the last ten games between these teams.

The Oilers are struggling offensively, scoring an average of 1.4 goals over their last five games (all going under the total).

San Jose has scored at least three goals (including the shootout) in every game during a seven-game winning streak.

Self esteem issues

Not only are the Edmonton Oilers losing, but as Joanne Ireland of the Edmonton Journal reports, they are also losing confidence.

"The other day we play very good in the first period then we give up a goal and it's like we stop. I don't think we have confidence," said defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky.

Edmonton’s fragile confidence will be tested against a Sharks team that has won seven in a row, their most recent win snapping the Phoenix Coyotes 10-game home winning streak.

Big lines

San Jose’s top line of Joe Thornton, Danny Heatley and Patrick Marleau is the highest scoring combination in the league. Thornton leads the league in points (55), Heatley is ninth with 43 points, and a resurgent Patrick Marleau is third in the NHL with 25 goals.

Edmonton’s top line consisted of Dustin Penner, Ales Hemsky and Sam Gagner. Hemsky suffered a torn labrum and is out for the season. Since then Edmonton’s offensive production has dropped off.

Dustin Penner leads the Oilers with 38 points, but has not registered a point in his last five games.
