Butler 71, Stanford 66: If Stanford was really a contender for the Pac-12 title, they would win games at home against a rebuilding Butler team that can't score.

MAC Basketball Review: You'll Put Your Eye Out!--Hustle Belt
Wright State 60, CMU 42 — It looks like they're getting tired, but CMU should've been a bit more in this game. It was one of those slow-burn games where the Chips kept drifting further and further from WSU's pace with every passing four minutes. Trey Zeigler was well-guarded and only got off six shots and five points. Derek Jackson led CMU with 13 points.

Detroit 73, WMU 64 — The Titans of the Horizon League basically iced this game with a 15-0 run to finish the first half, doubling up the Broncos 40-20 at intermission. From then on it was a game of catch-up that they just couldn't win. Michelle O'Brien led WMU with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Pac-12 Morning Five: Oh-My-God, I-Better-Start-My-Christmas-Shopping Edition--Rush The Court
The team with the best record in the conference proved that they’ve still got a long way to go as well, as Stanford got outworked and maybe outlucked a bit by two-time defending national runner-up Butler. Last week we talked about how this Cardinal team still needed to learn how to be a winner, and that got reinforced on Thursday night as the Bulldogs, led by a senior point guard in Ronald Nored (who has seen it all in his time in Indianapolis) took advantage of every opportunity and made the smart plays necessary to squeak out a win on the road. Sure, there was the shot-clock-beating desperation three-pointer by Nored that went in, or the putback by Andrew Smith of another late-possession brick that were certain indications of good fortune shining on Butler, but the fact is that the Bulldogs took advantage of those kinds of opportunities while the Cardinal did not. Yet again, we’ve got another Pac-12 team who just wrapped up non-conference play as a complete mystery. They may well be a legitimate contender for the conference title; or they may be just another pretender.
The Other 26: Week Five--Rush The Court
Hoosier Nation
Indiana’s mid-major teams had some major results over the past week.
...
Butler 67, Purdue 65 / Butler 71, Stanford 66 — It had been a rough start to the season for Butler coming into the past week. The Bulldogs were on a 3-game losing streak, were already 0-1 in league play, and were 4-6 with their best win coming against Gardner Webb. But they registered two big victories this past past week, first in a dramatic finish against Purdue and then at Stanford last night. Unfortunatlely, those wins were sandwiched around a 16-point loss at Gonzaga, but they should give Butler fans some hope that, like last year, the Bulldogs can rally from early season woes to get back to the Tournament.
Tall Utah Jazz players stoop to befriend Primary Children's patients--Deseret News
Patrick Cronin was trying to walk his way out of a morphine fog when he saw the Jazz players standing in the hallway of Primary Children's Medical Center.
The 13-year-old rushed back to his room and waited to see if the man whose name he'd spent four and a half weeks learning would be the one to visit him. When he was not, Cronin and his family went looking for Gordon Hayward.
"This is the best day," said Kim Cronin as her son beamed at Hayward. "Aren't you glad the morphine wore off?"
Hayward was handing out autographed basketballs and posing for pictures with the rest of his teammates and the Jazz coaching staff. The team visits Primary Children Medical Center and Shriner's Hospital every year at Christmas time.

Cole played four years for Cleveland State, earning Horizon League Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year his senior season. Expected to receive playing time this season as a change-of-pace alternative to Chalmers.
Miami Heat’s Udonis Haslem is the force that keeps the stars aligned--Miami Herald
There are plenty of reasons the Heat should be better in Year 2 of this new era, why the betting odds call Miami a favorite to win the NBA championship.One is that the Big 3 should be better, more in tune and cohesive with one another after a year’s experience playing together, not to mention James expanding his game with more of a low-post presence.Another reason looks to be two key additions to fill bench roles in defense-minded veteran Shane Battier and promising drafted rookie point guard Norris Cole.The biggest difference and greatest improvement, though, figures to be the full return from injury of Haslem, the blue-collar heartbeat of this team.

Women's Basketball Games of the Weekend 12/23 - 12/25--College Sports Madness
No. 19 GREEN BAY at WISCONSIN (8:30 p.m. Friday at Kohl Center in Madison, Wisconsin)
The Phoenix have risen to a strong showing in the early stages of the women’s basketball season. Green Bay (9-0) proved 11 days off wouldn’t make the team rusty, as the Phoenix bombed Ball State 80-39 on Dec. 20 behind Julie Wojta’s 19 points and 12 rebounds. This would be just the second time Green Bay has finished unbeaten in non-conference play should they win this game, and the Phoenix have a 28-game win streak riding on this. Wisconsin (4-7) has struggled in its last five games, dropping three to Colorado, Kansas and Drake. In the 65-54 loss to Drake, Jade Davis and Taylor Wurtz each scored 12 points.
