Maryland heads to Michigan
January 12, 2016




MARYLAND TERRAPINS (15-1, 4-0 Big Ten) at MICHIGAN WOLVERINES (12-4, 2-1 Big Ten)


Crisler Center - Ann Arbor, MI
Tip-off: Tuesday, 9:00 p.m. ET
Sportsbook.ag Line: Maryland -2.5, Total: 139


No. 3 Maryland looks to stay hot on Tuesday night when it visits a Michigan team that will likely be without its best player again.


The Terrapins (7-7 ATS) are off to their best start in school history at 15-1, and racked up their ninth straight win with Saturday's 63-60 victory at Wisconsin on a Melo Trimble three-pointer with 1.2 seconds left. Meanwhile, the Wolverines (9-5 ATS) snapped a six-game win streak when they were trounced 87-70 at Purdue on Thursday, which was their second straight game without top scorer Caris LeVert (lower leg injury), who is doubtful to return on Tuesday.


These schools have met only three times in the past 20 seasons with Maryland winning all three meetings with Michigan that occurred in 2000 on a neutral court, and 2008 and 2015 in College Park, MD. Although the Terrapins won 66-56 in the first Big Ten matchup of the schools last season, Crisler Arena is not an easy place to win, as evidenced by the Wolverines near-perfect 8-1 SU (5-2 ATS) record at home this season.


There are plenty of reasons to wager on either side Tuesday, as Maryland is 9-1 ATS on the road versus long-range shooting teams (21+ three-point attempts per game) in the past three seasons, and home underdogs (or pick) are just 50-90 ATS since 1997 after a conference road loss and facing a conference opponent coming off a close road win (3 points or less). But Michigan is 20-6 ATS as a home underdog of 3 points or less since 1997, and is 30-13 ATS versus top-notch opponents (12+ PPG margin) after 15+ games under head coach John Beilein.


LeVert is the only significant injury concern for either team in this game.


Maryland has a high-powered offense that is averaging 78.4 PPG on a blistering 50.9% FG (5th in nation), 38.6% threes (34th in D-I) and 75.8% FT (14th in nation). This success is achieved through great balance, as five Terrapins players are averaging double-figure scoring this season.


Saturday's hero, G Melo Trimble, has a team-high 14.8 PPG on stellar shooting marks of 49% FG, 40% threes and 87% FT. He has been especially hot lately with 45 points in his past two full games, sandwiched around an injury-plagued 14 minutes versus Rutgers on Wednesday when he missed the entire second half with a strained hamstring. Trimble was the best player on the floor versus Michigan last season when he scored a game-high 19 points (4-of-9 FG, 3-of-4 threes, 8-of-9 FT) with five assists and four rebounds.


Freshman C Diamond Stone (13.1 PPG, 5.4 RPG) has scored at least 10 points in nine straight games, which includes his enormous 39-point, 12-rebound effort versus Penn State on Dec. 30.


Junior F Robert Carter (12.6 PPG, 6.9 RPG) also provides muscle down low, which he showed on Saturday when he tallied 14 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks at Wisconsin.


The other two big Terrapins scorers are F Jake Layman (10.7 PPG, 5.3 RPG) and Duke transfer G Rasheed Sulaimon (10.4 PPG, 3.8 APG, 3.4 RPG), who are shooting 48% FG and 49% FG, respectively, this season. Layman scored 10 points versus Michigan off the bench last year, and the senior Sulaimon has knocked down a career-high 49% threes this season.


Maryland also has a great defense that limits opponents to 63.6 PPG (25th in D-I) on 40.9% FG and 31.0% threes (50th in nation). The team has 5.3 blocks per game (37th in D-I) and commits only 16.1 fouls per game (11th in nation), while holding a strong +6.4 RPG margin (42nd in D-I). However, the defense will certainly be tested on Tuesday by the high-scoring Wolverines.


Just like the Terps, Michigan also has an impressive offense that produces a hefty 78.7 PPG (73rd in nation) on 50.1% FG (9th in D-I) and 42.6% threes (also 9th in nation). This is a very unselfish and smart team that has just 9.9 turnovers per game (8th-fewest in D-I) and a stellar 1.67 assist-to-turnover ratio (9th in nation). The Wolverines also have a top-notch defense that holds opponents to 62.6 PPG (17th in D-I) on 41.2% FG, but allows a hefty 35.4% clip from long range (244th in nation). Also, they don't force enough turnovers (12.9 TOPG, 199th in D-I) and rarely block shots (2.4 BPG, 287th in nation), while posting a pedestrian +1.5 RPG margin.


Without G Caris LeVert (17.6 PPG, 5.4 RPG, 5.2 APG) available, Michigan will once again turn to G Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman (6.1 PPG, 2.1 RPG) to fill his starting spot. The sophomore has been huge in this role in the past two games with 39 points (15-of-23 FG, 4-of-8 threes), six rebounds and three steals, and has increased his three-point shooting to 39%, which is up from his 29% clip as a freshman. Abdur-Rahkman also started for an injured LeVert at Maryland last year, and finished with seven points and seven rebounds in 28 minutes.


The only two other double-digit scorers on the team are 6-foot-8 F/G Duncan Robinson (11.8 PPG, 2.9 RPG) and junior G Derrick Walton Jr. (10.1 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 3.7 APG, 1.6 SPG) who are both shooting over 50% from three-point range. Robinson (56% threes) has scored at least eight points in a dozen straight games, while Walton (52% threes) is struggling with a 40% FG clip or lower in five consecutive contests where he has made only 35% FG (15-of-43). During this five-game slump, Walton has been solid behind the arc with 42% threes (8-of-19), but has made only 29% of his two-point attempts (7-of-24).

Preview: Mustangs (15-0) at Pirates (8-8)
Date: January 13, 2016 6:15 PM EDT

Larry Brown is feeling better and ready to help SMU remain undefeated.


The veteran coach will be back on the sideline as the visiting No. 10 Mustangs look to continue the best start in school history and open 4-0 on the road for the first time in over 80 years with a win against East Carolina on Wednesday night.


Brown was back running practice Monday, one day after he missed the second half of SMU's 88-73 win over UCF because of dizziness.


"I'm going to be all right," he said. "With me, if I turn the wrong way, or if I jump up too quickly ... I lose some equilibrium. Maybe it's because I'm 75, and I don't realize it."


Brown said fatigue, dehydration and a virus aggravated symptoms he's dealt with in the past, including fluid in his ears. But he appears ready to return as the Mustangs (15-0, 4-0 American Athletic Conference) look to continue a strong start to a season in which NCAA sanctions won't allow them to compete in any postseason competition.


"We're just trying to stay undefeated," freshman Jarrey Foster said. "As long as we stay undefeated, we don't have to worry about anybody else. That's been the goal since we found out about the sanctions."


Halfway through its 30-game schedule, SMU and 19th-ranked South Carolina are the only remaining unbeaten teams in Division I.


Cracking the top 10 for the first time since February 1985, the Mustangs lead the AAC in points per game (81.6) and in field-goal (52.1) and 3-point (43.1) percentages. They're second in points allowed (62.7) and yield a AAC-low 28.4 rebounds per contest.


"It means a lot but we're still looking forward to the next game," said forward Jordan Tolbert, who had 19 points Sunday.


Following an 81-69 win at Tulsa in its league opener Dec. 29, SMU can improve to 4-0 on the road for the first time since the 1934-35 season. Leading scorer Nic Moore (16.1 points per game) has averaged 22.0 points and shot 46.8 percent on the road, where SMU as a team is connecting at an even better 51.7 clip.


Moore scored 20 in last season's 74-68 win over East Carolina in the quarterfinals of the AAC tournament. The Mustangs, who won both 2014-15 meetings with the Pirates (8-8, 0-3), have split four road meetings but last played there in February 2012.


Looking to avoid its second 0-4 league start in three seasons, East Carolina averaged 78.9 points and shot 49.7 percent to go 7-0 at home in nonconference action, but hit 34.8 percent of its shots in a 71-68 loss there to UCF in its AAC opener Jan. 2.


The Pirates followed by averaging 51.5 points while losing at Tulsa and Temple by a combined 30 points.


Leading scorer B.J. Tyson (14.1 ppg) has averaged 9.5 points and shot 28.0 percent while ECU has gone 0-6 on the road, but he's scored 20.0 per game while shooting 60.6 percent in the last six at home.


Teammate Caleb White (13.7 ppg) had 14 points in each meeting with SMU last season.


The Pirates have dropped 23 in a row against ranked opponents since beating then-No. 13 Marquette on Dec. 30, 2002.


It's uncertain if SMU guard Keith Frazier (11.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists per game) will miss a fourth consecutive game due to personal reasons.

Preview: Blue Devils (14-2) at Tigers (10-6)
Date: January 13, 2016 7:00 PM EDT

Amile Jefferson's injury crippled Duke's depth and put the onus on Brandon Ingram and Marshall Plumlee to hold serve in the frontcourt.


They've answered the call, and the ninth-ranked Blue Devils are rolling because of it.


Extending their winning streak to six Wednesday night could be a difficult task, though, as they visit a Clemson team looking to beat ranked opponents in back-to-back games for the first time in nearly 27 years.


A right foot fracture to the 6-foot-9 Jefferson not only depleted an already thin rotation, but also took away some on-court senior leadership coach Mike Krzyzewski said is invaluable. Jefferson started the first nine games, averaging 11.4 points and 10.3 rebounds, and there's still no timetable for his return.


Duke (14-2, 3-0 ACC) has won six of seven without him, though, despite only six players playing at least 10 minutes in five of those games. Ingram is averaging 20.7 points and 36.1 minutes over the last nine games after averaging 10.9 points and 24.6 minutes in his first seven.


The 6-foot-9 freshman has helped make up for the loss of Jefferson in other ways, too, blocking four shots in last Wednesday's win at Wake Forest before swatting six in Saturday's 82-58 rout of Virginia Tech. Ingram and Plumlee have each averaged 8.3 rebounds with Jefferson sidelined.


Plumlee has had back-to-back career games, finishing with 18 points against Wake and 21 with 10 boards Saturday. The senior 7-footer had two double-digit scoring performances in his first 14. He's played more than 30 minutes in four straight games after doing so once through the first 12.


Guards Grayson Allen (16 points), Matt Jones (13) and Luke Kennard (11) also had solid games against the Hokies and have contributed to Duke winning by an average of 23.6 points during its streak.


"Losing (Jefferson) cost us to do more different things than probably any other guy we would've lost," Krzyzewski said. "On the perimeter we have a little bit of depth, but Amile is a very unique player."


Duke beat the Tigers 78-56 in last season's only meeting, but the Blue Devils lost their last trip to Clemson 72-59 on Jan. 11, 2014, when Jaron Blossomgame finished with 14 points and 14 rebounds.


Blossomgame again helped the Tigers (10-6, 3-1) pull off an upset Sunday, scoring a game-high 17 points in a 66-62 win over then-No. 16 Louisville. Avry Holmes added 16 for Clemson, which hasn't beaten ranked foes in consecutive games since March 1 and 4, 1989.


The Tigers have won three straight following a three-game skid and were able to beat the Cardinals despite shooting 32.6 percent from the field.


"They're playing very well and they've played in four very difficult (ACC) games," Krzyzewski said. "They were good and now they're better, and you get better through accomplishment. They can put four guys on the court at any one time that can really spread you."


This will be the second of five consecutive games against ranked opponents for Clemson, with No. 8 Miami on Saturday, No. 13 Virginia on Jan. 19 and No. 20 Pittsburgh on Jan. 27 also looming.


The good news? Only the Virginia game is on the road.


"When you play in a league like this, you're going to have some tough stretches," coach Brad Brownell said. "What's tough about it is you can play well and lose, and that's tough on the guys. Hopefully the wins come, but you just focus on what you can control."


These teams are Nos. 1 and 2 in the ACC in blocks per game, with Duke averaging 5.88 and Clemson 5.75.

Preview: Horned Frogs (9-6) at Bears (12-3)
Date: January 13, 2016 8:15 PM EDT

After the coaching staff urged him to become more aggressive, Baylor hopes Johnathan Motley is ready to make a breakout run through the Big 12 schedule.


Motley aims to build on the best game of his career as the 22nd-ranked Bears seek their third straight league win and 14th in a row overall at home Wednesday night against in-state rival TCU.


Motley displayed his potential over a three-game stretch Nov. 23-Dec. 2, averaging 19 points on 71.4 percent shooting, but he scored more than eight only once over the following eight contests - and that 23-point performance came in a 104-59 rout of Division-III Hardin-Simmons at Fort Hood on Dec. 16.


The sophomore forward again played like a rising star Saturday with career highs of 27 points and 13 rebounds in a 94-89 upset at then-No. 13 Iowa State. The Bears have dealt the Cyclones their only two losses in their last 32 games at Hilton Coliseum.


"My coaches have been telling me that I need to go out and dominate every time I step out onto the court, so it was just the kind of thing we had been talking about," said Motley, who was 13 of 15 from the floor and is shooting 60.3 percent this season.


Taurean Prince contributed 18 points and 10 rebounds to help Baylor win its second straight since a 102-74 loss at then-No. 2 Kansas in its league opener Jan. 2.


Lester Medford finished with 16 points and 11 assists without a turnover, and the Bears committed only five in the second half. Medford is averaging 13.3 points with a 4.4 assist-to-turnover ratio over his last six games.


"I think this is just a stepping stone for what we've got planned for the Big 12," Motley said. "We want to start stringing (wins) together and hopefully we can do some big things in the conference."


Rico Gathers hopes to bounce back after being held to four points and five rebounds. The senior forward, who had 17 and 17 in a 79-62 home win over Oklahoma State on Jan. 5, totaled 31 points and 35 rebounds in Baylor's two wins over TCU last season.


The Bears (12-3, 2-1) will try to continue their pursuit of a perfect home record after winning their past 13 in Waco dating to February by an average of 20.1 points. They've won seven in a row overall against the Horned Frogs (9-6, 1-2), winning the three meetings at home by 19 per game.


TCU seeks only its second back-to-back wins in its last 60 conference games after Saturday's 58-57 home win over Texas. Chris Washburn scored 14 points and was 5 of 9 from the field, including the go-ahead basket with 1:12 left, in his first start since returning from a broken right pinky.


Brandon Parrish had a team-high 15 points while hitting 5 of 6 from 3-point range, but leading scorers Vladimir Brodziansky (12.2) and Malique Trent (11.7) combined for just six on 1-of-6 shooting.


"It's on to the next one," coach Trent Johnson said. "There are a lot more good teams in this league and they're very talented. We have our work cut out for us moving forward."


TCU improved to 6-0 when holding an opponent under 40 percent shooting by limiting the Longhorns to 37.1, including 3 of 21 from long range. That should be a difficult trend to continue since Baylor has been held below 40 only three times - all losses.


The Horned Frogs haven't beaten the Bears since a 72-64 road win in December 2002.

Preview: Nittany Lions (10-7) at Boilermakers (14-3)
Date: January 13, 2016 8:30 PM EDT

Considering its dominant history against Penn State, Purdue should have a good chance to bounce back from its latest Big Ten defeat.


The No. 24 Boilermakers try for a ninth consecutive home win over the Nittany Lions on Wednesday night.


A winner of 16 of 19 in the series, Purdue (14-3, 2-2) hasn't lost to Penn State at Mackey Arena since Feb. 18, 2006. The Nittany Lions (10-7, 1-3) are 2-18 all-time against the Boilermakers on the road.


Penn State's also dropped its first two league road contests, 70-64 to then-No. 4 Maryland on Dec. 30 in a game it led most of the way and 79-56 at Michigan on Jan. 2.


The Boilermakers' lone defeat in 11 home contests came against Iowa on Jan. 2, but they rebounded to beat the Wolverines 87-70 at Mackey five days later. If Purdue is to roll again at home, though, it needs a better all-around performance than it had in Sunday's 84-70 loss at Illinois.


"We just got beat," coach Matt Painter said.


Painter made no excuses after his team yielded a season-high 54.2 percent shooting to the Illini - 9 of 17 from 3-point range - and committed 16 turnovers that turned into 24 points for the host. Purdue has allowed its last three opponents to shoot 42.9 percent from beyond the arc.


"We have to do a better job of the details," Painter said. "It's got to be difficult for them on the other end."


Foul trouble plagued starters Vince Edwards, Johnny Hill and Rapheal Davis, and the Boilermakers' inside trio of A.J. Hammons (13.9 points per game), Isaac Haas (10.8 ppg) and Caleb Swanigan (10.1) managed 28 points - 10 in the second half.


The 7-foot-2 Haas has averaged 5.8 points and 41.7 percent shooting in the last six games.


Hammons has scored 20.7 points per game in the last three against Penn State, totaling 44 as Purdue took both meetings last season. The 7-footer has averaged 10.3 rebounds in six games against the Nittany Lions.


Back at Mackey for the first time since a 65-64 loss Jan. 18, 2014, Penn State has averaged 53.8 points and 39.6 percent shooting in the last eight visits.


The Nittany Lions shot 39.3 percent in their two Big Ten road games, and 41.2 in Sunday's 92-65 home loss to then-No. 5 Michigan State. Penn State allowed the Spartans to hit half of their 70 attempts and go 10 of 20 from 3-point range. Its last three opponents have shot 53.3 percent overall and 53.8 from behind the arc.


Purdue is shooting 48.0 percent at home and went 9 for 18 on 3s against Michigan after going 10 for 44 in the previous two at West Lafayette.


The conference's worst 3-point shooting team at 29.8 percent, Penn State went 3 of 14 on Sunday.


"We are going to pick ourselves back up," coach Patrick Chambers said. "It is going to be one of the years that we are going to be up and we are going to be down, and that's OK, as long as we continue the process of getting better."


Leading scorer Brandon Taylor (15.9 ppg) struggled against the Spartans, going 3 of 12 and totaling 10 points.


Penn State has dropped nine in a row against Top 25 opponents.

Preview: Golden Eagles (12-4) at Wildcats (14-2)
Date: January 13, 2016 8:30 PM EDT

Coach Jay Wright believes the Big East is the deepest it has been in three years, which makes Villanova's bid for a second 5-0 start in that span that much more impressive.


Behind a balanced attack and the conference's top defense, the sixth-ranked Wildcats look to remain in sole possession of first place with a 33rd consecutive home win Wednesday night against a Marquette team going after its second top-10 road win in eight days.


Villanova won its first five conference games en route to the Big East title in 2013-14, the first season after some schools left to form the American Athletic Conference. It now hopes to make a run to its third straight crown after winning its first four league games by an average of 14.7 points.


With 2014-15 Big East co-player of the year Ryan Arcidiacono struggling Sunday, Josh Hart stepped up with eight points during a late 10-2 run that keyed a 60-55 win at then-No. 18 Butler. The junior guard scored 22 with 11 rebounds in the Wildcats' sixth straight victory.


"It's definitely the best (the league has been)," Wright said. "I think we have eight teams right now playing good enough basketball to be NCAA Tournament teams. We've played Oklahoma, Virginia and some other top teams and the teams we're playing (in the Big East) are just as good."


The Wildcats will see another one in Marquette, which has recovered from an 0-2 league start with a 65-64 win at then-No. 8 Providence on Jan. 5 and an 81-75 home victory over St. John's on Saturday. The Golden Eagles are 2-0 against ranked opponents this season after losing their previous 15.


"We've got Marquette coming in and we know that's going to be tough," said Wright, whose team hasn't lost at home since January 2014. "In this league, it's just got to be on to the next game."


None of the Golden Eagles' three freshmen starters were around in the most recent meeting when Villanova (14-2, 4-0) dealt Marquette (12-4, 2-2) its worst defeat in Big East tournament history. Hart finished with 20 points in the Wildcats' 84-49 quarterfinal victory March 12.


Junior Luke Fischer had 18 points, freshman Henry Ellenson added 15 and 10 rebounds and classmate Haanif Cheatham scored 15 on Saturday against the Red Storm. Ellenson, who averages team highs of 15.9 points and 9.9 boards, has six double-doubles in his last seven games.


The up-and-coming Golden Eagles now hope to snap their six-game slide in this series.


"The reality is every game in the Big East is a battle. If you look on the floor, we've got a lot of young kids who are learning," coach Steve Wojciechowski said. "We have to remember where our guys are at. This is not some well-oiled machine where we have five seniors and you expect this amazing consistency. We've got guys who are learning on the job."


Wojciechowski's crew has shot a combined 48.5 percent in the last two wins after it made 38.3 percent in losses to Seton Hall and Georgetown. Marquette, though, has committed 39 turnovers in its last two and is going up against a Villanova team that leads the conference with 60.1 points allowed per game and a 37.6 defensive field-goal percentage.


The Golden Eagles lost all three meetings last season by an average of 21.3 points.

Preview: Gamecocks (15-0) at Crimson Tide (9-5)
Date: January 13, 2016 9:00 PM EDT

South Carolina is two wins from equaling the best start in school history, and while its next two opponents don't appear to be streak-stopper material, neither did its last.


After a tight home game against a questionable foe, the 19th-ranked Gamecocks head to Alabama on Wednesday night hoping for a smoother next step as they emerge onto the national radar.


The Gamecocks (15-0, 2-0 SEC) are off to their best start since 1933-34 when they won their first 17 games, tied with a midseason winning streak in 1969-70 for the longest in school history. Three days after they face Alabama - winless in SEC play and the conference's lowest-scoring team - they host a Missouri team which is 0-6 away from home.


South Carolina and SMU are the only unbeaten teams left in Division I, but it didn't look very good for the Gamecocks early in Saturday's 69-65 win over Vanderbilt.


"You know you're in league play when you win a game like you did on Saturday, and by Sunday morning before church you're already worked up and consumed and concerned with the next opportunity," coach Frank Martin said.


The Commodores had lost five of seven but jumped out to an 8-0 lead - the largest deficit the Gamecocks have faced all season - and were up 38-35 at halftime. Junior Sindarius Thornwell, though, drew a distinction between this team's reaction and what it likely would have been in previous seasons.


"In the past, it would have gotten ugly. Eight would have turned into 16," said Thornwell, who had a game-high 19 points.


In three games since the calendar flipped, the guard is averaging 19.7 points and shooting 50.0 percent after posting marks of 10.8 and 33.6 through 12 games. Thornwell now needs backcourt mate and No. 2 scorer Duane Notice to get back on track after he shot 29.4 percent in the last four games.


That's hardly soured Martin's mood. After going 45-54 in his first three seasons at South Carolina and not finishing better than 11th in the SEC, Martin is finally having fun again.


"They've got me on a ride right now that is unreal," he said.


South Carolina has won two of the past three meetings but dropped the last three in Tuscaloosa. Thornwell was limited to an average of 5.0 points on 3-of-22 shooting in two matchups last season.


Alabama (9-5, 0-2) has split four games with the Top 25 this season, including Saturday's 77-61 loss at then-No. 9 Kentucky as its losing streak against ranked SEC teams grew to 16.


The Crimson Tide held a third straight opponent below 30 percent from 3-point range but failed to reach 70 points for a fifth consecutive game, dropping their season average to 66.0.


"We did a good job of defending the 3-point line tonight, but our interior defense just wasn't there, and then offensively we're still a work in progress in terms of trying to become a balanced team," coach Avery Johnson told the school's official website.


Leading scorer Retin Obasohan topped 20 points for a third straight game, shooting 53.5 percent with seven 3-pointers in that span. The senior is averaging 14.6 points, up from 7.8 over the previous two seasons.


Alabama got within four in the second half but shot 34.6 percent overall and made 18 field goals or fewer for the sixth time. Kentucky was the first team to shoot higher than 46.7 percent (54.9) against the Crimson Tide.


"Especially when you go on a run against a good team, you've got to be aware of the fact that they're going to attack back," Obasohan said. "We just have to a better job of executing offensively and defensively and capitalizing on the run that we made."

Preview: Sooners (13-1) at Cowboys (9-6)
Date: January 13, 2016 9:00 PM EDT

The only time Oklahoma has lost to Oklahoma State during senior Buddy Hield's time in Norman, Hield never took the court because of a broken foot. That was in his freshman season, and the Sooners have won five straight since.


Hield won't just be on the court Wednesday night in Stillwater as No. 2 Oklahoma tries to extend its winning streak in the Bedlam Series. He'll be entering feeling like everything he puts up is going to splash, while the Cowboys are well aware of their own offensive shortcomings.


Hield followed a career-high 46-point effort in a 109-106 triple-overtime loss at No. 1 Kansas on Jan. 4 with 31 on 11-of-14 shooting and 6 of 8 from 3-point range in Saturday's 86-76 home win over Kansas State.


"Everything I shoot now, I just feel like, is going in," said Hield, who is averaging 18.7 points in six wins over the Cowboys.


Three of those came last season with Hield scoring 21.3 points and shooting 60.6 percent while hitting 8 of 12 from 3-point range. That's about the level of efficiency his coach is seeing now with Hield averaging 33.3 points and shooting 58.1 percent in his last four games. His 51.3 percent from long range in that time is actually down from the first 10 games (52.3).


"It's hard to imagine anyone playing more efficiently than Buddy is, in terms of making shots, attacking, making good plays for his teammates," said Lon Kruger, whose team retained its No. 2 ranking despite the heartbreaker in Lawrence.


But there's been more to the Sooners than Hield. Oklahoma (13-1, 2-1 Big 12) hit 11 of 19 from 3-point range against Kansas State and is shooting a Division I-leading 46.4 percent from deep. Jordan Woodard had 19 points and is averaging 22.0 in his last four on 54.4 percent overall shooting and 62.5 from long range.


Oklahoma State, meanwhile, doesn't have a single-game outside-shooting effort on the level of the Sooners' season average. The Cowboys (9-6, 1-2) return home after losing consecutive road games by 17 points each, including a 77-60 defeat at then-No. 17 West Virginia on Saturday. Over a 4-5 span, Oklahoma State has averaged 64.0 points and shot 41.0 percent.


"We struggle to score no matter who we play," said coach Travis Ford, who lost top returning scorer Phil Forte to what will likely be a season-ending elbow injury in November.


Jeff Newberry has taken on the greatest offensive load and shown some positive signs in Big 12 play. After averaging 7.3 points and shooting 28.6 percent in the last four nonconference games, he's scored 15.0 per game and shot 57.1 percent in his last three.


But that doesn't matter if Oklahoma State isn't getting much in the way of attempts. The Cowboys have been dominated on the glass in the losses by a 42.0-25.5 margin while allowing their opponents 20.5 offensive rebounds.


"We obviously have been disappointed in our rebounds last game," Ford said. "We talked a lot about it, did drills and did a lot of other stuff. Sometimes it just boils down to desire. Sometimes it just boils down to toughness."


Oklahoma has won 17 straight against unranked opponents, but Oklahoma State has taken three of its last four against the top two teams in the country. The Sooners have won the last two in Stillwater, though the past five meetings there have been decided by single digits.


"It will be extremely difficult and challenging," Kruger said. "Guys on both teams will play very hard and compete against each other. We have to maintain composure and poise and go up to Stillwater and play better."

Trojans visit Bruins
January 12, 2016


USC TROJANS (14-3) at UCLA BRUINS (11-6)


Pauley Pavilion, Los Angeles, CA
Tip-off: Wednesday, 11:00 p.m. ET
Sportsbook.ag Line: NA


Local rivals USC and UCLA meet at Pauley Pavilion for a Pac-12 showdown with both teams riding high after beating Top 10 Arizona last week.


USC (12-5 ATS) is off to a fantastic start under coach Andy Enfield, having won nine of their last 10 contests (7-3 ATS) and shooting for its first NCAA berth since the 2010-11 season under former coach Kevin O’Neill. The Trojans are fresh off a game that would make Oklahoma and Kansas blush, a 103-101 (USC +3) four-overtime thriller over Arizona at the Galen Center last Saturday. It was the third quadruple-overtime game in USC history and the last since 1985 – an 80-78 defeat of UCLA.


Speaking of the Bruins, they also downed Arizona at home, 87-84 (UCLA +3) on a last-second three by G Bryce Alford (17.4 PPG) on a night where the Bruins honored Russell Westbrook. UCLA’s most recent victory was last Saturday over Arizona State (87-81, UCLA -5.5). The Trojans also defeated Arizona State last week, 75-65 (USC -6). UCLA’s two home wins have improved coach Steve Alford’s Bruins to 8-1 (5-4 ATS) at Pauley Pavilion and 2-2 in Pac-12 play.


USC is 3-1 in conference play and 2-1 SU (2-1 ATS) on the road overall this season. UCLA has owned this series recently, going 9-1 SU (7-3 ATS) since 2012. UCLA has been the favorite in each of the last 10 games and has been a double-digit favorite in each of the past five meetings at Pauley Pavilion. The Bruins have won seven straight in this matchup (6-1 ATS), including three wins just last season (including the Pac-12 tournament). The total has gone OVER in each of the last five contests between USC and UCLA.


USC is playing fast and exciting basketball. It boasts six double-figure scorers and averages 84.3 PPG (14th NCAA). Not only is it scoring, but USC is locking down on the defensive end, too. Led by three players averaging more than one block per game, the Trojans swat 6.7 shots per game (3rd NCAA). USC will challenge shots not just at the rim, but on the perimeter (38.8 % FGA, 23rd NCAA; 31.8% 3PT, 65th NCAA). Enfield’s squad relies on the long ball for offense (40.9% 3PT, 12th NCAA) as four Trojans average between 1.7 and 2.1 threes per game, all of them shooting better than 39.5% 3PT.


G Julian Jacobs (12.9 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 5.8 APG) is not one of the aforementioned four marksmen, but he is arguably USC’s most important player. Finally at full strength due to a nagging ankle injury, Jacobs stuffed the stat sheet in a team-high 53 minutes in the four-OT win over Arizona (18 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, 7 steals). G Elijah Stewart (10.8 PPG, 44% 3PT) has seen his playing time fluctuate, but was really feeling it with a team-high 27 points in the win on Saturday. Second only to Jacobs’ 53 minutes against the Wildcats was his backcourt partner, G Jordan McLaughlin (12.9 PPG, 5.2 APG, 45% 3PT).


USC’s frontcourt is anchored by two 6-foot-10 forwards who do completely different things: F Bennie Boatwright (12.3 PPG, 39.5% 3PT) is a sweet-shooting freshman who leads the team with 2.1 3PM, while F Nikola Jovanovic (12.5 PPG, 7.7 RPG) is their most potent inside force. He averaged 17.6 PPG in the three meetings against the Bruins last season. Jovanovic has 8 blocks over his past two games. USC could run into problems on the glass against the Bruins, as the Trojans are extremely vulnerable on the offensive glass (11.8 Off Reb Allowed, 335th NCAA).


UCLA comes into this game, as USC does, on the heels of sweeping the Arizona schools at home, capped by the thrilling defeat of Arizona on Thursday with Alford’s step-back three pointer just before time expired. Alford, who went 9-18 FG (5-11 3PT) for a team-high 25 points in that win, played very efficient basketball this past week, going 16-29 FG overall with only two turnovers. The elder Alford’s club will look to punish USC on the glass (42.1 RPG, 14th NCAA) and especially on the offensive boards, where USC struggles to box out (12.1 Off Reb/Game, 18th NCAA).


The Bruins will lean on the inside tandem of F Tony Parker (13.0 PPG, 9.9 RPG) and F Thomas Welsh (12.8 PPG, 8.8 RPG) to overpower the leaner Trojans in the paint. Welsh has grabbed 10-plus rebounds in four of his past five games. Winning the battle on the boards will mitigate a subpar defense (76.8 PPG, 268th NCAA) that could have real trouble against USC’s multitude of weapons on the perimeter, as teams hoist a ton of threes against UCLA (24.4 3PA/G, 333rd NCAA), hitting eight threes per game on average.


Along with Alford, the Bruins do boast a solid perimeter attack of their own, supported by G Isaac Hamilton (16.5 PPG, 49% FG) and G Aaron Holiday (10.6 PPG, 3.8 APG). Hamilton and Holiday were keys in the win over Arizona State on Saturday. Hamilton led the team with 26 points while Holiday’s three with one minute left put the Bruins ahead of the Sun Devils for good. Hamilton scored a career-high 36 points the last time UCLA met USC, a 96-70 win for the Bruins in last season’s Pac-12 Tournament.

-- As of early this morning, most betting shops had Cincinnati (12-5 straight up, 5-8 against the spread) installed as a nine-point favorite.


-- Houston (13-2 SU, 6-4 ATS) is out to a 3-0 start in AAC play, leaving it just one-half game behind conference-leading Southern Methodist. The Cougars have won five in a row, including last Tuesday’s 63-45 win over Tulane as 10.5-point home favorites. Robert Gray Jr. led the way with a team-high 15 points, while Devonta Pollard and Danrad Knowles chipped in with 13 points apiece. LeRon Barnes pulled down a team-best 14 rebounds.

Pollard is averaging 14.1 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, while Oregon transfer Damyean Dotson is averaging 12.1 points and 7.2 rebounds per contest. Another transfer, Ronnie Johnson from Purdue, is scoring in double figures (11.9) thanks to 40.0 percent shooting from 3-point range.


-- Houston played cupcakes galore in non-conference action, beating 10 teams with RPI’s worse than No. 215. Kelvin Sampson’s squad has played just five teams inside the RPI Top 150, going 3-2 with wins over LSU at home and a neutral-site victory over Wyoming.

-- Cincinnati has won 10 in a row over Houston going back to 1998, but the Cougars are 3-1 ATS in the last four head-to-head meetings. The ‘under’ is also 3-1 in the last four encounters.


-- Cincinnati has lost three of its last five games both SU and ATS, including last week’s 59-57 loss at SMU as a six-point underdog last week. The Bearcats blew a seven-point lead in the last four minutes by allowing SMU’s Nic Moore to bury a pair of 3-pointers at crunch time. Farad Cobb drilled 6-of-11 from downtown and had a team-high 18 points and four steals in the losing effort. Gary Clark finished with 13 points, 11 rebounds and five steals.


-- Cincinnati has already lost three times in 10 home games. The Bearcats are 2-4 ATS in their six lined home games. The three defeats came against Iowa State, Temple and Butler by 11 combined points.


-- Mick Cronin’s team is off a 54-51 win at South Florida as a 15.5-point road favorite. Troy Caupain hit four treys and finished with 14 points, six rebounds, three steals and two assists. Octavius Ellis and Shaquille Thomas scored 10 points apiece, while Clark collected a team-best 11 rebounds.

**Ole Miss at LSU**


-- Going into tonight’s showdown in Baton Rouge, Ole Miss and LSU are in a fifth-place tie in the SEC standings with identical 2-1 records. As of early this morning, most spots had the Tigers listed as eight-point favorites.


-- LSU (9-6 SU, 5-7 ATS) has won eight of its nine home games at Pete Maravich Assembly Center, compiling a 4-2 spread record. The Tigers picked up their biggest win of the season last week when they knocked off Kentucky by an 85-67 count as three-point home underdogs.


-- LSU fell victim to a letdown scenario Saturday when it lost a 68-62 decision at Florida as a three-point road underdog. Ben Simmons stuffed the stat sheet with 28 points, 17 rebounds and four assists, but he committed all eight of his turnovers in the second half. Keith Hornsby added 10 points, but he was off the mark on all five of his 3-point attempts. For the first time since joining the team the last seven games, Arizona transfer Craig Victor (12.6 PPG, 6.6 RPG) failed to score in double figures with only six points on 2-of-9 shooting from the floor. The Tigers made only 3-of-20 launches from long distance.


-- Simmons is producing monster numbers in what almost certainly will be his only season at LSU. The freshman sensation is averaging team-highs in scoring (20.6 PPG), rebounding (13.1 RPG), assists (5.1 APG), field-goal percentage (57.7%), steals (1.9 SPG) and blocked shots (1.3 BPG).


-- Hornsby was injured and missed LSU’s first seven games, but he’s been making up for it since returning. The senior shooting guard is averaging 15.5 PPG while making 50.0 percent of his shots from the field, 41.0 percent of his attempts from 3-point range and 84.8 percent of his free throws. Hornsby also has twice as many assists (16) as turnovers (eight).


-- Ole Miss (12-3 SU, 7-7 ATS) lost both head-to-head meetings against LSU last season, but the Rebels have won seven of the last 10 encounters, going 6-4 versus the number.


-- Andy Kennedy’s team has won nine of its last 10 games with the only loss coming at Kentucky (83-61). The Rebels are 6-4 ATS in those last 10 outings. They are 4-1 SU and 3-2 ATS in their five road contests this year.


-- Ole Miss is off back-to-back home wins over Alabama (74-66) and Georgia (72-71). Stefan Moody’s go-ahead layup with six seconds remaining lifted the Rebels to victory. UGA led by nine at intermission and by four with less than a minute to play. Moody scored a game-high 28 points to go with seven assists, four rebounds and three steals. Rasheed Brooks and Sebastian Saiz both finished with 14 points 10 rebounds apiece.


-- Moody leads the SEC and is sixth in the nation in scoring with his 23.9 PPG average. The senior guard, who is playing his second season for Ole Miss after transferring from Florida Atlantic, is dishing out a team-best 4.1 APG. Saiz is averaging 12.5 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. The junior center has a team-high 18 blocked shots.


-- Ole Miss owns a 1-1 record both SU and ATS in a pair of games as an underdog. The Rebels won outright at Memphis as three-point ‘dogs. They have an RPI of 44, going 3-2 against the Top 100 with wins vs. Georgia State vs. Alabama and vs. UGA. Their only other loss came versus Seton Hall on a neutral floor.


-- LSU is No. 121 in the RPI Rankings. Johnny Jones’s squad is 2-4 against RPI Top-100 competition, winning at Vanderbilt in addition to the win over UK. The Tigers have lost at Florida, vs. Wake Forest, vs. N.C. State on a neutral court and at Charleston. They also have a neutral-court loss to Marquette.


-- The ‘under’ is 7-5 overall for LSU, 5-1 in its home games. The Tigers have seen the ‘under’ cash in back-to-back contests and four of their last five.


-- The ‘under’ has cashed at an 8-1 clip in the Rebels’ last nine road games dating back to last year. As for this season, Ole Miss has watched the ‘under’ go 8-6 overall, but the ‘over’ is on a 5-1 run in their last six games.


-- The ‘under’ is on an 11-3 run in the last 14 head-to-head meetings between these bitter SEC rivals.


-- ESPN2 will have the telecast at 9:00 p.m. Eastern.
