          • Nikola Vucevic's double-double fuels USC's upset of No. 10 Arizona


            Associated Press
            LOS ANGELES -- The Pac-10's highest-ranked team of the season came calling, and Southern California found the motivation it often lacks against lesser opponents.
            Nikola Vucevic had 25 points and 12 rebounds, and his teammates came up with two huge blocks in the closing minutes to help Southern California upset No. 10 Arizona 65-57 on Thursday night."We get more fired up for better teams and we play more aggressively," he said.Did they ever.Jio Fontan added 21 points and Alex Stepheson had 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Trojans (16-12, 8-7 Pac-10), who extended their winning streak to a season-best three games and beat a top-10 team for the first time since knocking off No. 9 Tennessee in December 2009."Keep going, don't let up," Fontan said. "It was a big confidence boost that helps out our resume."Jesse Perry scored 12 points and Kevin Parrom added 10 for the Wildcats (23-5, 12-3), whose eight-game winning streak ended on an off-night for offensive star Derrick Williams, who scored a season-low eight points."Honestly, I think it was good for us to lose," Williams said. "We were getting too big-headed, thinking we can beat everybody, we can beat anybody. I'm kind of glad we lost and came down to earth."The Wildcats head into a Saturday showdown at second-place UCLA, which routed Arizona State 71-53 to climb within a game of the top spot."You never want to go on the road and lose two straight, especially when you're ahead by two games in the conference going into the last four," Williams said. "But [USC is] a great team as well. This is the same team that beat Texas at home by 20, that went to Kansas and lost by one or two, so their record may not show it but they're a great team."Williams' points were well below his average of 19.7, second-best in the league, and it was the first time he was held to single-digits this season. He grabbed 11 rebounds while playing with a wrap protecting his bandaged right pinky finger."He's the best player in the Pac-10 and you want to do better than him," Vucevic said. "We did a good job as a team stopping him."The Wildcats were held below their Pac-10-leading averages in field goal percentage, 3-point percentage and points scored on the road. Williams and Lamont Jones, who were a combined 12-for-12 from the floor against USC in a win on Jan. 29, were a combined 6-for-23 in the rematch."This is the hard part about the stretch run of the season," Arizona coach Sean Miller said. "You earn all the praise and you get it, but you forget that there are some really hungry teams waiting for you."Neither team led by more than four points until the waning minutes. Vucevic hit a pair of free throws to tie it at 56-all with 2:37 remaining.After Stepheson blocked Jones on a drive, Stepheson got fouled and made both free throws to put USC ahead 58-56.Jones got denied again on Arizona's next possession, with Marcus Simmons coming up with a big block."I just didn't want to give up on the play. Luckily, I blocked it," Simmons said.Vucevic was fouled again and made both, extended USC's lead to 60-56 as the crowd chanted, "Go SC!" with 58 seconds left."Vucevic is a beast inside. He really raised his stock a lot and a lot of it had to do with me," Williams said.Fouled by Simmons, Kyle Fogg made the second of two free throws to leave Arizona trailing by three with 40 seconds left. Parrom and Williams missed on the same possession, forcing the Wildcats to foul the rest of the way."It comes down to the fact that we had two assists on 19 field goals," Miller said. "It's alarming to have two assists."The Wildcats fell to 1-4 at Galen Center. The Trojans, whose field goal percentage defense of .411 is second-best in the league, held Arizona to 36 percent.Williams didn't score his first basket until there was 5:15 left in the half, giving the Wildcats their largest lead of eight points.Los Angeles Clippers teammates Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan sat courtside, while Arizona alum Luke Walton of the Lakers supported his college team.

            • Yahoo! Sports’ All-SEC team

              By Jason King, Yahoo! Sports


              He’s won two national championships and been in the league longer than any of his colleagues in the SEC. Still, somehow, Florida’s Billy Donovan has never been recognized as the top coach in his conference.

              Until now.

              After leading Florida to a No. 14 national ranking and its first conference title since 2007, Donovan has been chosen as the Yahoo! Sports SEC Coach of the Year. Alabama’s Anthony Grant was also considered but, in the end, Florida’s achievements in 2010-11 were impossible to ignore.


              Florida will enter Saturday’s regular-season finale at Vanderbilt touting an overall record of 23-6 and a 12-3 mark in the SEC. The Gators are three games ahead of Kentucky, Vanderbilt and Georgia (all 9-6) in the East Division standings.

              Pleased as he is with the conference title, Donovan is hoping for even greater things in the NCAA tournament, where Florida hasn’t won a game since claiming the national championship in 2007.

              Also earning praise for a strong performance in 2010-11 is Vanderbilt’s John Jenkins, who has been chosen as the Yahoo! Sports’ SEC Player of the Year.

              A sophomore guard, Jenkins has reached double figures in each of his 28 games and is averaging an SEC-best 19.4 points per contest. Jenkins has nearly doubled his 11-point scoring average of a year ago. He has 16 games of 20 or more points.

              • Oakland U now 2 wins away, one thing I hate for the mid majors is that the regular season is entirely pointless. We dominated our conference, absolutely dominated, but if we lose one game we're out. No debate, no discussion, just out.

                Course one good thing is that since winning the conference tournament is all that matters we set up a ridiculous out of conference. Tennessee, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Illinois. Helped them for conference play.

                • Diebler’s barrage lifts No. 1 Buckeyes, 93-65
                  By RUSTY MILLER, AP Sports Writer


                  COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)—In the midst of a raucous locker room after No. 1 Ohio State’s 93-65 payback victory over 10th-ranked Wisconsin, Jon Diebler said he was sorry to his teammates.

                  “I apologize for missing that one,” he said.

                  Everyone laughed.

                  Diebler lived up to his “3-bler” nickname Sunday by hitting 7 of 8 shots behind the arc while scoring 27 points, as Ohio State (29-2, 16-2 Big Ten) set NCAA Division I records by making 14 of 15 3-pointers (93.3 percent) and hitting 14 in a row—after missing the first.



                  “On our best day this year, we hit 11 of 17 and thought we’d hit the jackpot,” Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said. “Fourteen of 15? I don’t think people do that very often. Either that, or I’m living in the wrong part of the country.”

                  Still smarting from their first loss of the year, a 71-67 setback at Wisconsin on Feb. 12, the Buckeyes unleashed their best game of the season— shutdown defense at one end and 68-percent shooting from the field at the other.

                  “I don’t know if you could script it much better,” said Ohio State coach Thad Matta. “Our defensive energy was incredible … and offensively the shots were falling. It was incredible how well we shot the basketball.”

                  Freshman Jared Sullinger had 22 points just weeks after accusing a Wisconsin fan of spitting in his face as he left the floor at the Kohl Center. He had told several people that he not only wanted to beat the Badgers, but that he wanted to beat them by 50 points.

                  The final score only seemed that lopsided.

                  “That first loss in college, I didn’t take that too lightly,” Sullinger said. “I wanted to win, and I wanted to win big, too.”

                  William Buford added 18 points and David Lighty 13 for the Buckeyes, who won their 22nd straight home game while dropping Wisconsin to just 4-5 in Big Ten road games this season.

                  Ryan had been the focal point for many fans in a capacity crowd of 18,809 who felt he had disrespected the Buckeyes after the first meeting when he said, “We won the game. Deal with it.”

                  Ohio State officials fueled the fans’ enmity by handing out 1,400 scarlet towels that read, “Deal With It.” When Ryan’s picture was shown on the monitors at midcourt before the game, there was a large chorus of boos, and the Buckeyes student section immediately behind the Wisconsin bench yelled at the coach most of the day.

                  Asked after the game about the towels, Ryan said, “What towels? … I know one thing, towels didn’t blow the ball in on all those 3s.”

                  The Buckeyes built a 47-32 halftime lead—the exact score they led by in the second half of the first game before Wisconsin came roaring back—thanks to 6-of-7 shooting behind the arc.

                  Topping that, Ohio State hit all eight 3s in the second 20 minutes.

                  Diebler, who tied the Big Ten record by hitting 10 shots behind the arc in a win at Penn State on Tuesday night, is 17 of 20 on 3-pointers in his last two games for the Buckeyes, who had clinched the outright Big Ten title a day earlier thanks to No. 6 Purdue’s loss at Iowa.

                  Josh Gasser had 17 points, Jon Leuer 16 and Keaton Nankivil 10 for the Badgers (23-7, 13-5). Jordan Taylor, who had scored 21 of his 27 points to lead the comeback in the second half of the first meeting, was limited to eight points on 2-of-9 shooting. He was shadowed throughout the game by Ohio State freshman Aaron Craft.

                  “Aaron did a tremendous job,” said Matta, whose teams have won four Big Ten titles in the last six years. “He’d studied so much film. What might go unnoticed is the job the other guys did in helping Aaron. But he was a pit bull out there today.”

                  Wisconsin drew as close as 56-45 on Nankivil’s 3 with 14:15 left before the Buckeyes put the game on ice. Diebler was at the heart of it, starting things with a 3. He later hit one off an inbounds play and then dribbled around a defender and stepped back for yet another to push the lead to 69-48 and cap a 10-0 run midway through the second half.

                  The rest of the game was a matter of killing time until the Buckeyes could cut down the nets and raise the Big Ten trophy. They’ll be the top seed in the Big Ten tournament this week in Indianapolis, and are all but assured of a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

                  Lighty, who played his final home game along with Diebler and Dallas Lauderdale, said the victory was nothing more than a step toward bigger goals.

                  “Our first mission was a regular-season Big Ten championship. That’s complete,” Lighty said. “Now we’ll turn our focus on a three-day tournament that we need to win and that will get us ready for the NCAA tournament. That’s just step two of our three-step mission.”

                  • Battle helps Penn State beat Minnesota 66-63
                    By DAVE CAMPBELL, AP Sports Writer



                    MINNEAPOLIS (AP)—Talor Battle had 22 points and two free throws with 10.5 seconds left to help Penn State hang on and beat Minnesota 66-63 on Sunday, handing the Gophers their fifth straight loss.

                    Jeff Brooks had 20 points and seven rebounds for the Nittany Lions (16-13, 9-9), who finished in a four-way tie for fourth place in the Big Ten and will enter the conference tournament next week as the No. 6 seed and face Indiana.


                    Blake Hoffarber’s 17 points weren’t enough for the Gophers (17-13, 6-12), who have their worst Big Ten record in four seasons under coach Tubby Smith.
