StatSystems Sports Early NCAAB Report, Saturday 2/26/11 cont.
*** #551 BYU @ #552 SAN DIEGO STATE (-3, O/U 141) ***
-----------------------------------------------------
Saturday's Top 10 showdown between BYU and San Diego State won't begin until "The Show" begins. Minutes before the 11 a.m. PST tipoff, on cue from SDSU running back Ronnie Hillman, a few thousand students will begin chanting "I believe that we will win" while jumping up and down in a sort of vertical mosh pit stretching from the front row behind the east baseline to the top row of Viejas Arena. There will be a gecko, a Spider-Man, an elf, a 12-year-old kid dressed as a banana, his dad's a booster and others in wacky costumes. They'll continue making noise of some sort during the nationally televised game, until the No. 6 Aztecs have either gained revenge for their only loss or been foiled again by Jimmer Fredette and the No. 7 Cougars.
The 27-1 record and No. 6 ranking aren't the only indications that Steve Fisher's once-lowly Aztecs have hit the big time in college basketball. Conveniently located near the visitors' bench, the ever-expanding student section has given the Aztecs a formidable home-court advantage in the 12,414-seat arena, which has been sold out for most of this breakout season. The Aztecs have gone 13-0 while feeding off "The Show." Opposing coaches have lauded it. Fredette has noticed it before. While school officials keep their fingers crossed that "The Show" won't push the limits of decency, as some felt it did last year against BYU, the noise could be earsplitting on Saturday.
"I don't know if the anticipation can get any bigger than it already is," said sixth-year senior Matt Bishop, one of the core members of "The Show." Bishop recalls past seasons when he could buy a ticket 15 minutes before tipoff and still get a front-row seat. This week, he had to camp out overnight to get tickets, just like the rest of the students did. That was supposed to be something that went on at Duke and other blue blood basketball schools, not at SDSU. But that's how hot of a ticket the Aztecs have become. "It's a really good problem to have. We love it. It's awesome," Bishop said. "We're not a Pac-10 school and we don't have that much basketball tradition. We're just living the moment."
After games, SDSU players walk over to high-five students. "The Show' is, to me, the best student section I've seen in college basketball," senior forward Malcolm Thomas said. "If we're not executing, they just cheer and give us all sorts of energy. I know they're hyped for this game, and they'll help a lot." Last year, as Cougars fans began chanting "BYU! BYU!" at the end of a 71-69 win over the Aztecs, some in the SDSU student section responded with chants of "You're still Mormon!" SDSU officials felt that was out-of-bounds. Earlier this week, Fisher sent an e-mail to students, asking them to keep it classy and not cross the line by making fun of someone else's religion.
"A lot of that comes from 30 rows out," Bishop said. "It's tough to regulate what a drunk frat boy starts chanting. We don't participate in that. We try to regulate that." Still, Bishop admitted, "we were like a train going full speed" in planning for Saturday's game. "Then coach Fisher sent out his e-mail to keep it classy. We talked to some of the marketing people and thought, 'Uh-oh, we better put on the brakes." Then again, BYU is SDSU's most-hated rival. "We don't want to insult or harm anyone," Bishop said. "I shouldn't say that. We do want to insult BYU. But we don't want to significantly offend anyone. We do like to poke fun and have fun."
Bishop said there are still plans for some students to dress as Mormon missionaries, with white shirts, black ties, bike helmets and backpacks. At some point, they'll ditch those props and break out their red and black Aztecs gear. Last year, Fredette scored 33 points against SDSU despite being slowed by strep throat and mononucleosis. An Aztecs fan brought a sign reading: "Which wife gave you mono?" "Jimmer laughed at it and we took a picture with some BYU fans," Bishop said. "Their fans have been very, very good this year," said Fredette, who scored 43 points in BYU's 71-58 win against SDSU at Provo on Jan. 26.
"They really know that their team is top in the nation and they're on it. They're excited for us to come into their building and we're excited to go there and play. It's going to be a great college-atmosphere game. "It's going to be one of the biggest games the Mountain West Conference has ever seen, so I'm just looking forward to the challenge," Fredette said. After Air Force lost 68-55 here last month, coach Jeff Reynolds shook hands with SDSU students and credited them with creating "a great atmosphere."
Point guard D.J. Gay said "The Show" has probably crossed the line before and probably will do so again Saturday. "I would ask that 'The Show' come up with the funniest, craziest things they can come up with to help distract Jimmer at the free throw line," Gay said. "Just to be as creative as they can be and be our sixth man." That's a big ask, considering that Fredette made seven straight free throws late in the SDSU game a month ago, and hit 10 of 11 overall. Paraphrasing a line from "The Dark Knight," Bishop said: "We are whatever SDSU needs us to be. If we need to be a villain to get inside Jimmer's head, we will."

*** #567 ST JOHN'S @ #568 VILLANOVA (-6, O/U 134.5) ***
-------------------------------------------------------
Expected by many to finish near the top of the Big East standings, Villanova could have trouble just finishing in the top half with a brutal remaining schedule. One team it certainly wasn't expected to trail was St. John's, which can assure itself of maintaining its first ranking in more than a decade by handing the No. 15 Wildcats a third consecutive home loss for the first time in 17 seasons Saturday. Villanova (21-7, 9-6) was picked to finish second in the Big East but is out of the running for the regular-season title and in a tie for seventh, one game behind a 23rd-ranked Red Storm team which is tied for third.
The Wildcats, who close their schedule next week with road matchups against No. 9 Notre Dame and No. 4 Pittsburgh, have lost six of eleven following a 16-1 start. However, leading scorer Corey Fisher isn't concerned. "Not at all," said Fisher, averaging 16.0 points. "(The Big East) is so good, one day you could be in third, next day you could be in fifth. We're not worried about rankings. We're not worried about nothing." Villanova, though, should probably be somewhat concerned about facing St. John's (18-9, 10-5), which is looking for a season-high sixth consecutive win.
In their first game as a ranked team since the 2000-01 season, the Red Storm routed DePaul 76-51 on Wednesday night. "This is an example of a team developing a hard edge and maturity that will bode well for us coming down the homestretch into the postseason," coach Steve Lavin said. Lavin's team has won three straight against ranked opponents and they were all in the top 10 at the time -- Duke, Connecticut and Pitt. However, the Red Storm have lost six straight to Villanova by an average of 12.1 points since a 52-50 road win Feb. 11, 2003. The Wildcats are looking to avoid losing three straight home games for the first time since the 1993-94 season.
Their latest home loss came Monday night, shooting a season-worst 32.3 percent from the field and falling 69-64 to No. 17 Syracuse. Senior guard Corey Stokes returned to score 24 points, nine better than his season average after missing three games with turf toe. Fisher, though, was held to eight points on 3-of-16 shooting, two nights after scoring a career-high 34 in a 77-75 overtime win at DePaul While Stokes matched a season high with five 3-pointers versus Syracuse, the rest of the team went 0 for 16, Fisher missed eight. Villanova has shot 19.5 percent (8 of 41) from beyond the arc over its last two home games.
"We're not as good as I think people would like us to be, but we're not that far off," said coach Jay Wright, one shy of 100 regular-season wins in Big East play. "We're not going to panic. We're going to keep getting better, keep working. "Our defense isn't bad, it can get a little better. Maybe it can get us some easier shots. We'll get there. I think this team will get there." Defense has keyed the Red Storm's success, limiting teams to an average of 61.4 points during its five-game run. Villanova is 17-1 when scoring more than 70.
Senior Dwight Hardy has been the sparkplug for the St. John's offense averaging 25.2 points, 7.9 more than his season mark in the last six games. "We can win every game if we come out and play like we did tonight," Hardy said after scoring 21 points Wednesday, "and there's no reason why we can't." While Villanova guard Maalik Wayns' status is unknown (back spasms), teammate Maurice Sutton is expected to be available after he was suspended against Syracuse for missing curfew.
--ST JOHNS is 20-5 UNDER (+14.5 Units) after a game where they covered the spread over the last 2 seasons.

*** #575 ARIZONA @ #576 UCLA (-1, O/U 139) ***
----------------------------------------------
Coming off its first loss in more than a month, Pac-10 leader Arizona will look to bounce back in a crucial matchup with second-place UCLA. With a chance to clinch at least a share of the regular-season conference championship, the 10th-ranked Wildcats will try for a fifth win in six games versus the Bruins when the teams meet Saturday. After averaging 81.3 points during a season-best eight-game winning streak, Arizona (23-5, 12-3) was held to its lowest scoring output of the season in a 65-57 loss at Southern California on Thursday night. Pac-10 player of the year candidate Derrick Williams, first in the conference in field-goal percentage (61.6) and second with 19.3 points per game, was held to a season-low eight points on 3-of-11 shooting.
"Honestly, I think it was good for us to lose," said Williams, who had 11 rebounds for the second consecutive game and is averaging 9.2 in Pac-10 play. "We were getting too big-headed, thinking we can beat everybody, we can beat anybody. I'm kind of glad we lost and came down to earth." The Wildcats could come down further Saturday because a loss would drop them into a tie with the Bruins (20-8, 11-4) atop the conference standings. A win, however, would give Arizona at least a share of its first regular-season Pac-10 championship since 2004-05. The Wildcats close their schedule next week with home games against Oregon State and Oregon.
"That's the hard part right now of kind of juggling the stretch run of a season," coach Sean Miller said. "You forget that you have some really hungry teams awaiting you because of the success you've had. It's as hard to finish out a really good season as it is to establish one." Lamont Jones averaged 14.3 points during the eight-game win streak, including 17 in an 85-74 win over the Bruins on Jan. 27, but was held to nine points on 3-of-12 shooting versus the Trojans. Williams scored 22 points in the Jan. 27 win as Arizona recorded its fourth victory in five games in the series, the lone loss was in last year's Pac-10 tournament.
The Wildcats had lost four straight at UCLA before winning there last season, 77-63 behind Kyle Fogg's 25 points. Fogg, who made 7 of 10 3-pointers en route to a career high-tying 26 points in a March 4 win over the Bruins, is averaging 18.8 points, 10.4 more than his three year mark in his last four meetings with them. Meanwhile, UCLA winner of 11 of 13, regrouped from Sunday's 76-72 overtime loss at California with a convincing 71-53 win over last-place Arizona State on Thursday night.
Malcolm Lee led five Bruins in double figures with 16 points, Lazeric Jones had 10 with 10 assists and Reeves Nelson added 12 points and 12 rebounds for his 11th double-double of the season, second-most in the conference. Nelson has recorded back-to-back double-doubles versus Arizona, averaging 21.5 points on 85.7 percent shooting and 10.0 rebounds. The Bruins, 15-2 at home, are seeking a seventh consecutive conference win at Pauley Pavilion for the first time since going 9-0 in Pac-10 home games in 2006-07, when they reached the Final Four. UCLA hasn't faced a ranked team since defeating then-No. 16 BYU 86-79 in the Wooden Classic on Dec. 18.

*** #577 FLORIDA @ #578 KENTUCKY (-8, O/U 135.5) ***
----------------------------------------------------
Florida has already taken advantage of sputtering Kentucky to ascend to the top of the SEC East. This time, another defeat could drop the Wildcats out of the AP Poll for the first time in coach John Calipari's two seasons there. Playing at home, however, could provide the difference. With their status among the elite possibly on the line, No. 22 Kentucky attempts to extend its winning streak at Rupp Arena to 33 against the 13th-ranked Gators on Saturday. The Wildcats (19-8, 7-6) have split their last 10 games, but the losses have come by an average of just 2.2 points. That stretch includes a 70-68 defeat at Florida (22-5, 11-2) on Feb. 5, when then-No. 10 Kentucky blew a slight lead with three minutes to play before Brandon Knight missed a 3 as time expired.
While the Gators have since secured at least a share of the division title and a first-round bye in the conference tournament, the Wildcats are reeling from Wednesday's 77-76 overtime loss at Arkansas. They missed two shots at the end of regulation and three more in overtime that could have won the game. Now, another loss could drop Kentucky out of the Top 25 for the first time since the end of the 2008-09 regular season, the season prior to Calipari replacing Billy Gillispie. "You've got to want it worse, bottom line," said Calipari, who benched freshman guard Doron Lamb on Wednesday for a perceived lack of effort.
Lamb, averaging 13.3 points, made 1 of 5 shots to finish with a season-low two points against the Razorbacks after totaling 38 over the previous two games, both home victories. With three games left in the regular season, Calipari wants to see an improved effort and determination from his team. "Some guys come in with it, come in with a rage and a viciousness to it where 'If I don't play harder than this guy I'm losing this game,'" Calipari said. "There are games we've done it and we've won. There are games we haven't done it and they've won. Playing at Rupp Arena could be just what the Wildcats need. They've won 32 in a row there, including a 74-66 victory over the Gators on March 7, running their home winning streak in the series to three.
The Gators, however, aren't likely to be intimidated. They ended Xavier's 30-game home winning streak on New Year's Eve and are 5-1 on the road in conference play. Florida is also hot, winning six in a row for the first time since starting last season 8-0. The Gators, who have won 14 of 16, kept rolling with Thursday's 71-62 win over Georgia. The Gators' rise comes a year after they finished fourth in the East behind first-place Kentucky, which went on to win the SEC tournament.
"It says a lot about this team," said guard Kenny Boynton, who scored 18 points Thursday. "We've grown. Last year, we weren't even close to this position. We came in focused when the SEC started and we're on a mission. We just want to win it all." Boynton is averaging 16.3 points in eight victories over the last nine games. He was limited to 11 on 5-for-14 shooting in the last visit to Lexington, though. Knight, Kentucky's leader with 17.7 points per game, scored 24 in the loss to Florida. The freshman guard labored to score 26 Wednesday, going 8 for 23 from the field, including 1 for 8 from 3-point range but did hit all nine of his free throws.
--FLORIDA is 13-2 ATS (+10.8 Units) in road games after allowing 65 points or less 4 straight games since 1997.
The average score was FLORIDA 74.9, OPPONENT 61.6 - (Rating = 3*)

*** #585 KANSAS (-14.5, O/U 143) @ #586 OKLAHOMA ***
----------------------------------------------------
It's been a tumultuous season off the court for Kansas, which can count point guard Tyshawn Taylor's team-imposed suspension as the latest in a long line of distractions. Once the ball is tipped, however, things couldn't be going much better. The third-ranked Jayhawks have bounced back from a rare loss with two blowout victories, and they shouldn't have trouble staying sharp Saturday in Norman looking to hand Oklahoma a seventh straight loss. Heading into Monday's game against Oklahoma State, Kansas (26-2, 11-2 Big 12) had seen its players miss 31 games because of injury, tragedy, misbehavior or NCAA edicts. It added another to that total with the suspension of Taylor for violating unspecified team rules, a ban that will continue Saturday versus the Sooners (12-15, 4-9).
Coach Bill Self elected to insert sophomore Elijah Johnson into the starting lineup, and he took full advantage of the opportunity against the Cowboys. Johnson had a career-high 15 points and Marcus Morris led the way with 27 as Kansas shot 54.4 percent in a 92-65 rout. "I think I did well," said Johnson, who totaled 15 points in his previous seven games. "Some stuff I can still improve on." The Jayhawks have made 21 of 45 3-pointers in consecutive routs of Colorado and Oklahoma State after hitting just 3 of 15 in a loss at Kansas State on Feb. 14. Johnson hit all four of his attempts Monday, not a bad performance considering many figured Self would let heralded freshman Josh Selby start.
"It was a good decision because I thought Elijah played great," said Self, who confirmed that Johnson will start Saturday. "Hopefully, this will be a confidence boost for him." Kansas remains one game behind Texas in the Big 12 standings. Johnson also had three assists, but with plenty of other ball handlers on the roster, the Jayhawks don't need him to be a great distributor. Kansas leads the nation with 18.6 assists per game, and it's 24-0 when recording 14 or more. That's largely a tribute to seniors Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar, who have provided helped the Jayhawks' offense stay steady when Taylor has been careless with the basketball. Reed and Morningstar have 42 assists and just six turnovers over their past six games.
"They are a calming influence over our guys and have been our two most consistent perimeter players, especially since conference play started," Self said. Kansas leads the nation in field-goal percentage (52.1), it's shot at least 50 percent in its last nine wins and that's bad news for an Oklahoma team that hasn't beaten the Jayhawks since a 71-63 win Feb. 21, 2005. The Sooners' February skid hit six Wednesday with a dreadful shooting performance at Texas A&M. Despite holding a one-point halftime lead, Oklahoma missed its first nine shots after the break while the Aggies went on an 11-0 run that provided the difference in a 61-47 victory.
The Sooners shot 33.3 percent overall, falling to 1-12 when they shoot below 45.0 percent. Their 66.0 points per game rank last in the Big 12. "We were getting open looks, we just couldn't knock them down," senior guard Cade Davis said of the decisive stretch. "That got our heads down a little bit, got us a little frustrated and then we let it domino into playing bad defense." Kansas has held Oklahoma to 36.5 percent shooting during its six straight head-to-head victories.
