Kiefer Sykes – G – 5’11’ – Junior – Green Bay. Four times this season Sykes has been named the Horizon League Player of the Week, and he might just become the conference’s Player of the Year when it’s all said and done. The quick, explosive guard has played his best games against his team’s most difficult competition, scoring 32 points in a close loss to Wisconsin, 26 against Harvard, and 21, along with 10 assists and only just two turnovers, in Green Bay’s upset victory over Virginia. He averages 19.6 points and five assists per game, rarely committing miscues and regularly producing good looks for stud teammate Alec Brown. As a result, the Phoenix has looked like one of the better mid-major squads in college basketball at the midpoint.

Green Bay Phoenix (12-3, 2-0 Horizon) at Milwaukee Panthers (12-5, 2-1), 2 p.m. (TWCS Wisconsin/Horizon League Network)
The Phoenix have won seven in a row, including their first two Horizon League contests, and nine of 10 since falling to Harvard in the Great Alaska Shootout semifinals. Green Bay looks to be living up to the favorites role, but it will be challenged by a Panther team that's looking to separate itself from fellow second place squads Cleveland State and Wright State.
Miami Heat stumbles in second half, loses to New York Knicks--Miami Herald
The dunk, made possible by a nifty assist from guard Norris Cole, was really the only highlight of the game for the visiting team, but it was so emphatic it almost made up for all the lowlights and the loss to New York. Of course, the added attention of a primetime game on TNT added to the panic on the Internet, which Heat owner Micky Arison felt compelled to address after the surprising loss.Dwyane Wade reports soreness in knee, sits against Brooklyn Nets--Miami Herald

Shane Battier and Mario Chalmers also sat out for the Heat, which started Norris Cole, Ray Allen, LeBron James, Rashard Lewis and Chris Bosh.
Playing with names like “King James,” “J.Shuttlesworth,” “Cole Train” and “Birdman” on the backs of their jerseys, the Heat played uninspired and uninterested basketball for the better part of four quarters and two overtime periods and lost to the short-handed Brooklyn Nets 104-95 on Friday night at Barclays Center.Miami Heat excited to visit White House for second year in row--Miami Herald
...
With James out of the game on fouls, it was up to Norris Cole to send the game into double overtime with a running jumper. Cole knocked down his clutch shot with three seconds remaining in the first overtime, and Pierce missed his second potential game-winner at the buzzer. Pierce missed a shot at the end of regulation as well.
Cole, filling in for Mario Chalmers for the third game in a row, had 18 points and seven assists. Chris Bosh had 10 points and 10 rebounds. Rashard Lewis added 12 points.
...
A three-pointer by Cole gave the Heat a two-point lead with 2:10 to play. From there, the Heat and Nets swapped leads until James tied the game with a free throw with 40.8 seconds to play.
The nicknames on the back of the jerseys made it feel like a game of street ball, so, naturally, no one played any defense for the first 12 minutes. James played with “King James” on his jersey. Ray Allen was “J.Shuttlesworth” after the character he played (Jesus Shuttlesworth) in the movie He Got Game, Chris Andersen was “Birdman,” Cole was “Cole Train” and so on.
Norris Cole captured the sentiment of teammates when he noted: “It’s never going to get old for me.”Battier and Chalmers both improving but out against Knicks--Heat Check
...
A White House visit comes with many decisions. For Cole, it’s mulling whether to muster the courage to ask for a picture of himself and the president — just the two of them.
Shane Battier will miss his fourth game due to a strained left quadriceps and Mario Chalmers will miss his second full game with an injured Achilles heel. Rashard Lewis and Norris Cole are expected to start in place Battier and Chalmers, respectively.Previewing the first meeting of the season between the #Heat and #Knicks--Heat Check
OF NOTE: Rashard Lewis will once again start for Shane Battier, who is missing his fourth straight game with a strained left quadriceps. Norris Cole will start in place of Mario Chalmers, who is out for his second game with pain in his Achilles tendon. Dwyane Wade did not participate in shootaround, but said he expects to play. Greg Oden did not travel to New York with the Heat. According to the team, Oden remained in Miami to work on his conditioning.Previewing Heat at Nets…Don't look now, but New York's teams are a combined 8-1 in 2014.--Heat Check
OF NOTE: The Heat lost to the Nets at Barclays Center at the beginning of the season, but the Nets have been diminished by injuries since then. Center Brook Lopez is out for the season and Deron Williams has dealt with a series of injuries. Most recently, Williams has missed time with ankle injuries. Rashard Lewis is expected to start once again at power forward while Shane Battier recovers from a strained leg muscle. Battier has missed four straight games. Norris Cole has started for Mario Chalmers in each of the Heat's last two games. Chalmers has been out with soreness in his Achilles tendon. Greg Oden did not travel to New York with the Heat. According to the team, Oden remained in Miami to work on his conditioning.Norris Cole builds trust in trial run as starting point guard--South Florida Sun Sentinel

The 17th-ranked Ducks (13-3), who were 13-0 and ranked No. 10 in the nation less than two weeks ago, are now 1-3 in the Pac-12 Conference and likely to fall out of the national rankings today.Replay: Chat with UDM basketball coach Ray McCallum--The Detroit Free Press
"Everybody is frustrated, nobody likes to lose," senior guard Jason Calliste said. "We know what we have to do, get back and work."
...
The Ducks are as baffled as anyone by their recent slide.
"I wish I had an answer for you, but I don't," Calliste said.
...
Mike Moser had 24 points to pace the Ducks while Calliste added 12 points and Damyean Dotson had 10. Oregon shot 52.2 percent from the field, but committed 15 turnovers compared to seven for the Cardinal and Stanford outrebounded the Ducks 32-26.
