1/10 - College Hoops Week in Review--Ballin' is a Habit
Deserving of a shoutout:
...
Valpo: After a weekend that featured four games between the top four teams in the Horizon, Valpo came out 2-0 and in sole possession of first place in the conference after winning on the road at Wright State and Detroit. The Crusaders also own a win over Cleveland State this season. For the first time is seemingly forever, it looks like the Horizon has more contenders than just Butler.
College Basketball: Indiana State Headlines Important Week--SB Nation Indiana
Friday, Jan. 21
Wisconsin-Green Bay (10-9, 4-3) at Butler (13-6, 5-2)
Butler's 69-64 loss at Wright State leaves the Bulldogs on thin ice when it comes to their NCAA resume. The Horizon League continues to be one of the highest rated mid-major conferences and the Bulldogs played a tough non-conference schedule, but the bad losses are starting to pile up. Butler must take care of business at home this week against the Wisconsin schools, especially with Wisconsin-Milwaukee visiting on Sunday. The Panthers trounced Butler in Milwaukee, but first Butler must get past the Phoenix.
Wisconsin-Milwaukee (9-10, 4-4) at Valparaiso (14-5, 6-1)
Last week was a very good week for the Crusaders. They now own sole possession of first place in the Horizon League, they moved into the top 50 RPI-wise, thus placing them in the discussion of at large NCAA teams, they won a pair of tough road games at Detroit and Wright State, and Brandon Wood was named Horizon League Player of the Week. They now host the Wisconsin schools this weekend before a huge home game against Butler next week.
Utah Jazz: Gordon Hayward to miss matinee matchup--Deseret News
Utah Jazz notebook: Al Jefferson's fall a pain in the, um, backside--Deseret News
ANOTHER ILLNESS: Rookie Gordon Hayward did not dress for Monday's game because of a sinus infection that he said really packed a wallop on Sunday night.
It was the first game missed by the No. 9 overall pick because of illness or injury.
Hayward said he wasn't sure if he'll practice today.
With Hayward out, fellow first-year forward Jeremy Evans got to dress for the first time in three games. He had been the odd-man out since Mehmet Okur returned Wednesday from his back injury.
Even though he's been playing, Hayward has been relatively quiet since his big three-game spurt from Dec. 29-Jan. 1 when he hit double digits in consecutive games. The 20-year-old has only scored a combined 15 points in six games he's played in since then, including three scoreless appearances.
