  9. Sterling win forces three-team playoff By Dave Rogers Published February 13, 2008 The dream is alive. Sterling’s improbable rise from a 2-7 start in District 21-5A boys’ basketball to a spot in the playoffs still has a chance. The Rangers got 16 points and 14 rebounds from Adrian Fontenot and downed Port Arthur Memorial 68-53 before a rowdy crowd at Winnie Brown Gym Tuesday night. With Kingwood beating Atascocita, Sterling finishes the regular season in a three-way tie for fourth place and the league’s final playoff berth. To qualify for its first playoff trip since 1988, Sterling must win a weekend play-in tournament that will include Port Arthur and Atascocita. Details will be worked out today. “We knew we had to win to get in the playoffs,†Fontenot said after the Rangers led the entire way en route to their fifth straight win for a 7-7 league record. “Even if Atascocita had beaten Kingwood (and claimed fourth by itself), we still wanted to win our last game.†Derrick Thompson backed up Fontenot by scoring 15 points and Cartavious Kincade and Andre Corley each added 10 markers. Port Arthur’s best player, University of Texas signee J’Covan Brown, played only one half of one game in district before being suspended for the rest of the season. The next best player, senior Jacovin Buckner, teamed with a talented cast of newcomers to help the Titans stay in the playoff hunt until the end. But Friday, Buckner showed up sick and sat out most of the second half. He did return for the final 4:23 of the game and scored 10 of his night’s 11 points in a minute and a half at the end. But it was too little too late. “A lot of people counted us out when we were 2-5 in district,†Ranger coach Mark Patton said, “but we told these seniors at the beginning that we’re going to be a playoff team this year. “I’m happy for the kids. Basically, we did what we we’re supposed to do. We played with heart and we played with energy.†Sterling jumped out to a 17-7 lead after one quarter with Fontenot scoring seven of the opening points. It was 36-22 at the end of the first half, which ended on a 3-ball by from the corner by Jyquis Mitchell that got a standing ovation from the Sterling crowd, which filled two thirds of the seats on the home side of the gym. The Titans closed to 11 points, 45-34, at the end of a third quarter that featured five points by Memorial’s Tevin Turner. Then the Rangers put it away at the free throw line. Sterling, now 22-12 for the season, hit 29 of 48 from the stripe, compared to 15 of 27 by Port Arthur. “They did a great job,†Titan coach Terrul Henderson said of the Rangers, a team his squad beat 73-56 in Port Arthur. “Baytown did a great job.â€
  10. Bears force play-in with Dayton with 57-41 win over PN-G Van Wade The Orange Leader PORT NECHES — Three weeks ago, many basketball fans thought the Little Cypress-Mauriceville Bears were dead in the water as far as earning a playoff spot out of District 22-4A. Not so fast, my friends. The Bears, who started 22-4A play at 3-6, extended their 22-4A winning streak to five games Tuesday night by burying Port Neches-Groves 57-41 at Indian Gym. The win pushes the Bears (22-10, 8-6) into a third-place tie with the Dayton Broncos (11-13, 8-6) which fell to first-place Beaumont Ozen 63-55 Tuesday. The Bears and the Broncos will decide the third-place playoff spot Friday night at 6 p.m. at Lamar University’s Montagne Center. The game will be part of a triple-header with Kountze and East Chambers settling District 24-2A at 7:30 p.m. and Silsbee and Hardin-Jefferson battling for the 21-3A crown at 9 p.m. “I’m so proud of our kids,†said LC-M coach Darin Harley. “Many counted them out just a couple weeks ago but they hung in there. We're a senior group and they never stopped believing in each other. They went out and accomplished it.†Being 8-6 sure sounds better than being 3-6. “The kids knew they were a better team than what they showed early on in district,†Harley said. “The biggest adjustment we made was that we stopped settling for the outside shots and we started to take the ball inside more. That's been huge for us.†PN-G (10-18, 2-12) gave the Bears a tussle in the first half but it was all LC-M in the second half. Led by the stout play of senior Kevin Cooper, the Bears went on a 17-5 tear in the third period to expand on their slim 20-18 edge at intermission. Cooper burned the Indians for a double-double, tallying 21 points while yanking down 12 rebounds. “Kevin played huge again,†said Harley. “PN-G has great size but he kept driving the ball in there. We knew PN-G could block some shots, but the kids stayed aggressive and kept attacking.†PN-G forward Matt Johnson tied the game at 20-20 with a nice move inside but the Indians fell by the wayside after that. The Bears, led by Cooper’s 10 points in the period, went on a 14-0 spurt that basically sealed the deal. A steal and a laying by Cooper gave the Bears a 34-20 edge and they never were challenged after that and led by as much as 20 points in the fourth period. LC-M forced PN-G into seven of its 18 turnovers in the third stanza. Cooper had plenty of help from his Bear teammates. Senior C.J. Champine penetrated the lane well and finished with 15 points and five rebounds. Senior Dallas Bean contributed 11 points and five rebounds. Senior post David Sicktich played excellent defense inside and collected eight points and seven boards. The LC-M win offset a superb performance by senior Indian guard Travis Thompson. Thompson filtered in 20 points and hit five three-point bombs and also had six rebounds. PN-G's 6-9 post Ryan Miller was held to seven points but did pull down 12 rebounds while adding six blocked shots. The Bears finished with a 31-25 rebounding edge. LC-M committed 13 turnovers. The Bears also shot well from the free-throw line, going 12-of-16. The Indians finished just 6-of-15. Now it’s on to the big battle against Dayton Friday night. “It’s really like we’ve already been in the playoffs, with all of the games we’ve had to win,†said Harley. “If we don’t win our last five, then we don’t have this opportunity. Dayton has an excellent team. We’re going to have to deal with their pressure better than we did at their place.†The Bears defeated Dayton at home in the first half of 22-4A play and fell on the road at Broncos Gym.

  12. Indiana gets list of alleged violations related to phone calls The NCAA sent a notice of allegations to Indiana University last Friday detailing major violations in the men's basketball program, multiple sources told ESPN.com. Larry MacIntyre, assistant vice president for university communications at Indiana University, confirmed to ESPN.com that the school did receive documentation from the NCAA last week. The Associated Press reported on Tuesday night that the school will make the allegations public on Wednesday. University trustees president Stephen Ferguson told AP that school officials this week reviewed the report, but that the NCAA is not expected to make its ruling until this summer. "There won't be a hearing till this June," Ferguson told AP. "It's just been reviewed, and I think everyone is analyzing it now." MacIntyre said he was unable to provide any more information. But MacIntyre said he was working on providing a copy of the documentation in a request made by ESPN.com through the Freedom of Information Act. But ESPN.com has learned over the last week that the NCAA uncovered new information since Indiana self-reported violations under second-year head coach Kelvin Sampson in October. That new information helped result in a major violations tag that could put the season of Indiana (No. 12 ESPN/USA Today, No. 13 AP) under a cloud of uncertainty and the career of Sampson as well. ESPN.com made multiple efforts to reach Indiana athletic director Rick Greenspan over the past week and he never returned calls. Sampson didn't return a message Tuesday. Indiana will have 90 days to respond to the letter. The committee on infractions has a hearing in April, but because of the 90-day window the hearing isn't expected to take place until the June meeting. That means Indiana may not have closure on the matter until late into the summer. "The report came out in October, the university filed its response and there's really not been anything happening [on the board] in the last five months," Ferguson told AP. "There have not been any discussions." A postseason ban for the Hoosiers would only come into play if IU decided to self-impose such a measure since the committee on infractions won't meet until June. According to multiple sources, a postseason ban would only occur if there were an issue with the eligibility of any current student athletes, which ESPN.com has been told isn't an issue yet. The NCAA investigation came after Indiana made an announcement in October that Sampson had made 100 impermissible phone calls while he was on probation for illicit calls he made while he was the coach at Oklahoma from 2000 to 2006. During that time, he made 577 impermissible calls. Sampson was penalized by Oklahoma by not being allowed to travel for recruiting. Indiana imposed the same penalty in his first season at IU. He was also banned from making calls and going off campus to recruit for a calendar year. He wasn't banned from text messaging since it was allowed during that year. But it was during that year that he made the impermissible calls. Sampson wasn't allowed to take part in three-way calls, originated by anyone on the staff. In October, Indiana made public that former assistant Rob Senderoff initiated three-way calls. During the October news conference, Indiana said that Sampson said he was unaware he was participating on a three-way call. Senderoff, who was forced to resign, said he didn't let Sampson know he was on a three-way call, either. Prior to being forced out, Senderoff was told he couldn't recruit off campus for a year or make a phone call. The same restriction was put on Dan Dakich, who has since been moved up to an assistant position from director of basketball operations. Sampson was hit with more penalties by the school, forfeiting a $500,000 raise, and a scholarship was taken away from the team. Multiple sources told ESPN.com that the NCAA was looking into whether or not any untruths were told during Sampson's answers to whether or not he knew of the three-way calls. Andy Katz is a senior writer at ESPN.com. Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
  13. Texas A&M to raise Acie Law's No. 1 to rafters 03:04 PM CST on Tuesday, February 12, 2008 By BRIAN DAVIS / The Dallas Morning News [email protected] COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The Texas A&M athletic department will take the highly unusual step of hanging Acie Law's No. 1 jersey in the rafters at Reed Arena during Saturday's game against Oklahoma State. "Acie Law Day," as its being billed, gives the school a chance to honor the former point guard for his contributions over the last four seasons. With a cold-blooded leadership mentality, Law led the Aggies to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament last season. The former Kimball standout won the Bob Cousy Award for being the nation's best point guard. Law now holds an almost mythical place in A&M fandom and is widely considered one of the best men's basketball players in school history. First-year coach Mark Turgeon, who never coached Law, said he conceived the idea to honor Law and "he was real excited." Law now plays for the Atlanta Hawks. With the NBA All-Star weekend coming up, Law's team would be idle. "What that kid did for this program, especially last season, has made my job easier and tougher," Turgeon said. "He made it easier because I can recruit anywhere in the country. But also the expectations have changed for our program. He deserves his day. "He came and got introduced at a football game, and that was a special moment," Turgeon added. "I think this will be an unbelievable five or six minutes for him in his lifetime." The school is being careful not to call this a jersey retirement, however. A&M has historically not honored individual athletes by retiring their jerseys. John David Crow, A&M's only Heisman Trophy winner, doesn't have his jersey retired. When asked how long Law's jersey will stay in the rafters, Turgeon said, "Forever." A&M spokesman Colin Killian said the athletic department is considering forming a committee that would determine which athletes should be honored. Crow, Dat Nguyen, Lisa Branch (women's basketball) and Casey Fossum (baseball) are others who come to mind immediately. Limited tickets remain: A&M officials announced that a limited number of tickets remain for Saturday's game against Oklahoma State. Tickets are $20 and can be ordered online at 12thmanfoundation.com or by calling 888-992-4443. Game time is 2:30 p.m.
