-- Greg Oden had his moments in the second period, including an assist for a Norris Cole 3-pointer.Greg Oden measuring up with more than just bulk for Heat--South Florida Sun Sentinel
-- Cole immediately paid him back with an assist for a dunk moments later.
There was a hard dribble toward the paint, a spin and a pass to Norris Cole for a 3-pointer, Oden's first NBA assist since 2009. A few sequences later, Cole reciprocated on a play that led to an Oden dunk. Moments later, Oden got enough lift for an alley-oop dunk off a pass from LeBron James.Cleveland State tunes up for tournament; Kent State, Akron have work to do - local college hoops this morning--Cleveland Plain Dealer
...
Cole said that second-quarter sequence showcased the possibilities beyond merely banging bulk against Roy Hibbert and other oversized big men.
"He kicked it out, could have shot that one," Cole said of the pass for his lone 3-pointer of the night. "But he dribble drived, his man helped."
Shortly thereafter came payback, for the first of Oden's dunks.
"You got to reward him when he's open," Cole said. "And he finished, as he always does, strong."
...
"He's worked hard to get his body, get himself ready to get out there," Cole said. "He showed, when he's healthy, he can play this game at a high level. Two Ohio guys -- Ohio State to Cleveland State -- we hooked up a couple of times out there and it was fun. It was good to see him out there and it was good to play with him."

Despite a program that is at least equal and probably superior to those of the MAC schools, this is the problem at Cleveland State. The rivalries in the Vikings' conference are not as familiar to fans. Over the years in various conferences, CSU has had pitched games against Southwest Missouri State, Butler, Valparaiso and now Wisconsin-Green Bay. Sadly, the Horizon League lost its brand name when Butler left, leaving behind Valet and Footman.Cleveland State takes care of business on the road, beating Valparaiso, 63-52--Cleveland Plain Dealer

USC led 19-12 on a three-pointer by Howard, but then the Ducks rolled off 10 straight points starting with a three-pointer from Calliste and continuing with five in a row from Moser before Dotson scored to put Oregon up 22-19.
USC broke the halftime tie with two free throws from J.T. Terrell and last led 54-53 on Wesley's three-point play with 12:22 to go. Calliste followed with a three-pointer and Cook later converted a three-point play to give the Ducks a 61-58 lead that they never relinquished.

Wisconsin-Green Bay 71, Oakland 63. It remains unlikely there could be an at-large NCAA Tournament bid coming out of the Horizon League, but the Phoenix (23-5, No. 53) still have that early season win over Virginia and a conference regular-season title on their resume. It does seem a better bet to get the automatic bid.

8. There are Cinderellas out there. A few have been mentioned already, although you can’t consider VCU, Creighton, Wichita State or Gonzaga mid-majors anymore. Saint Louis is on the cusp, but the Billikens have been doing this for years now. Look a bit deeper, yes, even past the Aztecs and the Lobos. I’m talking teams like Belmont, Iona, North Dakota State, Southern Miss, Stephen F. Austin (which is 26-2!), Green Bay, Harvard or Louisiana Tech. Obviously conference tournaments can throw this into a bit of upheaval, but watch how teams are playing down the stretch. If they’re on a hot streak, they’ve got a couple good non-conference wins on their resume and they have a go-to scorer (or a few experienced veterans), they could bust some brackets.Weekend Bubble Overview--Run The Floor
