Georgetown vs. Indiana: Hoyas fall short in overtime despite big game from Otto Porter Jr. Nov 22nd 2012, 05:56 NEW YORK — One night after toppling No. 13 UCLA with spirited defense and an in-sync offense, Georgetown nearly replicated its heroics against top-ranked Indiana in the championship game of the Legends Classic at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.

The Grinnell College guard scored an NCAA-record 138 points in a performance that desperately cries out for a smart-alecky descriptor. (He hung a 138 burger on Faith Baptist Bible?) Anyway, Grinnell won, 179-104. Let's leave it at that. Read full article >> Redskins vs. Cowboys: Who's more vulnerable? Nov 21st 2012, 12:00 Normally by Week 12 the Redskins and Cowboys would have played already. And normally by Week 12 you've seen enough of a team to get a pretty good idea of what it is. But in Thursday's case, I'm not totally sure we know who the Redskins are week to week, and one could easily say the same about the Cowboys. Which makes their Thanksgiving Day clash in Texas all the more intriguing, and perhaps set to go down as one of the great chapters in the rivalry's history.

Alex Len will get double-teamed, sagged upon in the paint, with help-side defenders rotating down to stop backdoor cuts.

In only choosing to add only those two to the roster, the Nationals' roster stands at 38 players with two open spots forflexibility if they add players via trades or free agency -- but by doing so, the Nationals are risking leaving a handful of decent prospects available for other clubs to claim in a few weeks.

The newspapers, shaken and crinkled in jest by Terrapins fans during pregame introductions, proclaimed the University of Maryland's move to the Big Ten official. When university President Wallace D. Loh entered Comcast Center midway through the second half Tuesday night, chants began of "Big Ten, Big Ten." And during a promotional advertisement for the Atlantic Coast Conference on the overhead video board, one student waved goodbye.

Wall pushed Nene in the back and Nene dropped back, dipped and hit a lefty hook.

Born in Japan, but raised primarily in Texas, where he starred in both football and track at Copperas Cove High School and Baylor University, Griffin sees this game as a true homecoming. He'll play in front of a large number of family and friends, at the stadium and on televisions in homes across the state.

His Washington Wizards have been a confusing lot this season, with inconsistent play forcing him to push different buttons and, like a defective vending machine, never get the expected results.
