Jazz beat Cavaliers 100-92
January 11, 2017 by
The Cavaliers hadn’t played their best basketball through the first two games of their six-game trip. And though it was good enough to top the Nets and Suns, the Utah Jazz on their home floor is a different story. The Wine and Gold scored a season-low 12 points in the second quarter and dug themselves […]

January 11, 2017 by
Michigan State senior Tori Jankoska scored a school-record 42 points and the Spartans would shoot their way to a 94-75 victory over Ohio State Tuesday night in the Breslin Center.

Hurricanes topple Blue Jackets 5-3
January 11, 2017 by
This was just a weird game all around. Before the game even began, the Blue Jackets were dealing with some significant shuffling of their lineup that started around lunch time. With Curtis McElhinney plucked off waivers by Toronto and Anton Forsberg called up, the latter was slated to share the net with Sergei Bobrovsky in […]
Blue Jackets beat Flyers 2-1 in OT
January 9, 2017 by
The celebration was mostly elation, but not without a little relief mixed in. In the closing moments of regulation, there were similar uneasy feelings from the night before when the Rangers rallied and scored the go-ahead goal with 16.5 seconds left. Tonight, the Flyers finally beat Sergei Bobrovsky with, eerily, 16.5 seconds left to tie […]
Minnesota downs Ohio State 78-68
January 9, 2017 by
Confidence and poise are suddenly in ample supply at Minnesota. Newcomers to the lineup have provided instant sparks and critical production. The most tangible factor in the turnaround, though, has to be the defense. Amir Coffey had 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting, helping the Gophers stave off another setback at home with a 78-68 victory […]
Cavaliers hold off Suns 120-116
January 9, 2017 by
The Cavaliers began their six-game road trip with a pair of cellar-dwellers, but neither has proved to be a pushover. By the same token, neither squad has had the firepower to keep with the Big Three, either. One game after combining for 85 points, Cleveland’s power troika tallied 80 on Sunday night as the Wine […]

January 6, 2017 by
Caleb Swanigan hit a free throw with 5 seconds left and No. 20 Purdue held off an Ohio State comeback to win 76-75 on Thursday night. Ohio State’s Trevor Thompson tied the score at 75 with a layup with 15 seconds left but missed a subsequent free throw. Swanigan was fouled on the other end […]
Blue Jackets lose 5-0 to Capitals, fall short of NHL record
January 6, 2017 by
So the saying goes, “all good things must come to an end.” Thursday night’s 5-0 loss wasn’t the outcome the Blue Jackets hoped for going into tonight’s Metro Division clash with the Washington Capitals. It halted Columbus’ winning streak at 16 consecutive games, one shy of tying the NHL record (17), and ended the team’s […]
Blue Jackets beat Oilers 3-1 for 16th straight win
January 4, 2017 by
On more than a few occasions this season, John Tortorella has been asked if he knows what type of team he has. He has, on more than a few occasions, politely declined to answer the questions because he didn’t yet know. Tuesday night, after his team made NHL history and won its 16th consecutive game, […]
