Wednesday’s game featured two of the giants in this generation – Kobe Bryant, in his career send-off at The Q and LeBron James, who’s days away from starting in his 12th straight All-Star Game. But it was an up-and-coming superstar who stole the show. Kyrie Irving – who missed the season’s first 24 games – […]
Blue Jackets beat Flames 2-1
February 8, 2016 by
Officially, the Blue Jackets finished this Western Canada road trip with a 2-1-0 record. Another way to think of it: they were one poor period away from potentially sweeping the trip for the second year in a row. Sunday night’s game at Scotiabank Saddledome was in some ways similar to their 2-1 shootout win over […]
Assist from Crew SC’s Finlay propels U.S. Men over Canada 1-0
February 8, 2016 by
The U.S. Men’s National Team grabbed a deserved late goal by Jozy Altidore to win its second match of 2016, 1-0, against Canada at StubHub Center. The U.S. knocked on the door throughout the match but was unable to breach a compact Canada defense that was backed up by a strong effort in goal by […]
Ohio State whips Wisconsin 87-61
February 5, 2016 by
Even an off night for Kelsey Mitchell wasn’t enough to slow down Ohio State. The seventh-ranked Buckeyes routed Wisconsin 87-61 on Thursday night. Mitchell, the Big Ten’s leading scorer, finished with 16, but 11 came in the fourth quarter when Ohio State had a commanding lead. Ameryst Alston scored 21 points to lead five Buckeyes […]
Blue Jackets beat Canucks 2-1
February 5, 2016 by
The Vancouver Canucks struck first Thursday night at Rogers Arena, but the Blue Jackets battled back and Scott Hartnell’s power play goal in the third period leveled the score, 1-1, for the Jackets. And, after 3-on-3 overtime expired (during which Columbus successfully killed off a Vancouver power play), Alexander Wennberg scored the game-deciding shootout goal […]

February 5, 2016 by
Nigel Hayes scored 21 points and Wisconsin hit a season-high 13 3-pointers to beat Ohio State 79-68 on Thursday night to extend its winning streak to five games. Wisconsin (14-9, 6-4 Big Ten) took advantage of open looks on the perimeter but nearly squandered a 12-point lead midway through the second half. The Badgers made […]
Hornets down Cavaliers 106-97
February 4, 2016 by
It doesn’t take an in-depth analysis of the stat sheet to see how the Cavaliers had their five-game win streak stopped in Charlotte. A quick look at the rebounding numbers says it all. Despite being without their two best players – Kemba Walker and Al Jefferson – the Hornets dominated on the boards, 49-28, and […]

Oilers smack Blue Jackets 5-1
February 3, 2016 by
The Blue Jackets were fortunate to get away with a poor start tonight, but before too long, it caught up with them in a big way. Columbus carried a 1-0 lead into the first intermission but it came unraveled in the second, as their puck management fed into the Oilers’ speed and attacking game. Edmonton […]
Cavaliers beat Pacers 111-106 in OT
February 2, 2016 by
There isn’t much that Kyrie Irving hasn’t done in his already-brilliant five-year NBA career. But winning a game in Indiana was one of them – until Monday night. Irving and Co. had to play some bonus hoops to get the job done after relinquishing a double-digit halftime lead, but eventually the Wine and Gold overcame […]
