Here are six things to know about the Atlanta Hawks as they enter the second half of the 2013-14 season.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — In a game of runs, No. 13 Cincinnati had the last one and beat No. 12 Louisville 69-66 Thursday night at the KFC Yum! Center. Cincinnati (20-2, 9-0 American Athletic Conference) closed the game with an 8-2 run to maintain its lead atop the conference. It was Cincinnati’s 13th straight victory. “Whenever […]
Villanova coach Jay Wright said it was like a broken record. Same matchup, same result — practically. The last time Creighton met Villanova, the Bluejays poured in a Big East-record 21 3-pointers and cruised to a 28-point victory in Philadelphia. Bluejays forward Doug McDermott let the Wildcats know immediately Sunday night that no revenge would […]
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The No. 22 Memphis Tigers survived a scare from lowly Temple on Saturday night in an American Athletic Conference game and held on to defeat the Owls 82-79 in overtime.

Securing a victory against Seton Hall on Saturday night at the Prudential Center without three of its key players proved to be an impossible task. DePaul slipped to 1-4 away […]
EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall never likes to see an opponent shoot 51 percent from the field. However, if his team compensates by creating a slew of turnovers and converting most of them into points, it is a tradeoff he can accept. The fourth-ranked Shockers turned 18 Evansville turnovers into 23 points, […]
PORTLAND, Ore. — Something got into the Portland Trail Blazers at halftime, or so it seemed. Portland came out of the locker room smoking, sinking three 3-pointers in the first two minutes of the third quarter to break open a tight game en route to a 116-103 victory over the Washington Wizards on Thursday night […]
