Set Your Tivo: 12.23.10--Rush The Court
Butler vs. Florida State (in Honolulu, HI) – 10 pm on ESPN2 (***)
Butler took care of Utah while Florida State beat the home team, Hawaii, in the first round of the Diamond Head Classic. Expect this to be a low scoring game between one of the best defensive clubs in the nation (FSU) and a slower-paced team (Butler). Chris Singleton has cooled off a bit since his hot start to the season but remains the Seminoles’ top scorer, rebounder and defender. Singleton going up against Butler’s Matt Howard will be fun to watch.

Florida State vs. Butler (10 ET, ESPNU). Florida State is old and the single-toughest team to score against in Division I. Fortunately, Butler knows how to grind a game out, and nobody defends the 3-point shot in all of D-I as well as the Bulldogs. Let's set the over/under for this one at 104.5.
Utah Jazz: Jerry Sloan continues to climb wins list--Deseret News
"That's ridiculous. That's quite an accomplishment," Jazz guard Gordon Hayward said. "Congrats to Coach on that."
To help put Sloan's ridiculous achievement in perspective, consider this: Almost 200 of his coaching victories, including those from his Chicago stint from 1979-82, came before Hayward was even born on March 23, 1990.

Jazz’s second unit now must find way to integrate Okur--Salt Lake Tribune
Despite the brief appearance, Jazz coaches and reserves believe that working Okur mid-season into the second rotation will not be a major obstacle. Time and patience will be required. Minutes for reserves such as Kyrylo Fesenko, Jeremy Evans, Gordon Hayward, Ronnie Price, Earl Watson and Francisco Elson — all of whom have made major contributions during the Jazz’s surprising 21-9 start — could rise and fall nightly. But everything from Okur’s knowledge of Utah’s offensive and defensive systems to his willingness to come off the bench for the first time since 2004-05 should make the transition smoother than normal.
