Men’s College Basketball
MARINERS:
The must-watch games to close the regular season
By JOHN MARSHALL
Associated Press
PHOENIX — The college basket-
ball season has been filled with great
games the past four months, from
the showdown between Kentucky
and North Carolina in Las Vegas to
Nevada’s miracle comeback against
New Mexico.
But it’s not time to wrap up the
regular season just yet.
There are still two weeks left before
March Madness kicks in and plenty of
great matchups to be seen.
Here are some of them:
———
No. 7 Louisville at No. 8 North
Carolina, Wednesday. Two of the
ACC’s best are playing for the only
time during the regular season, with
both hoping to lock up high seeds in
the NCAA Tournament. An awful lot
of talent on the floor at one time.
California at No. 6 Oregon,
Wednesday. The Ducks are trying to
keep pace with Arizona for the Pac-12
title. The Bears could use a marquee
win to bolster their NCAA Tourna-
ment hopes.
No. 13 Florida at No. 11
Kentucky, Saturday. The Gators
won the first meeting 88-66, though
that was in Gainesville. This one is
at Rupp and the Wildcats seem to be
back on track after a stretch of three
losses in four games that ended with
the game against Florida.
Northwestern
at
Indiana,
Saturday. The Wildcats appear to
be on course for their first NCAA
Tournament and beating the Hoosiers
in Bloomington would be the perfect
topper. Injury-ravaged Indiana will
miss the NCAAs unless it wins the
Big Ten tournament but still has a ton
of talent on its roster.
BYU at No. 1 Gonzaga, Saturday.
This will likely be the last impediment
to the Zags’ perfect regular season.
The Cougars put up a fight in the first
meeting, losing 85-75 in Provo, but
this one is the final game at the Kennel
this season.
No. 5 UCLA at No. 4 Arizona,
Saturday. A top-5 game between
two of the best teams in the Pac-12,
both playing for high NCAA seeds.
The Wildcats won the first meeting
96-85 in Allonzo Trier’s first game
back following his suspension but are
banged up now. This still figures to be
one of the most entertaining games of
the season.
No. 8 North Carolina at No. 18
Virginia, Feb. 27. The Tar Heels
turned the first meeting into a laugher,
holding the Cavaliers to 41 points in
a 24-point rout. The Cavaliers will be
looking for a little payback at home
Continued from 1B
once the season starts.
“As far as the chemistry
in the clubhouse, those guys
are a big part of what we’re
doing, so that’s a little bit
challenging. But we’ll rev it
up early here in camp to make
sure they have a good feel,
but more importantly, the new
players have a good feel for
them. Because it’s their team
and their clubhouse, and our
leadership is really important
to that.”
Servais worked on devel-
oping that chemistry in the
offseason when he made a
surprise visit to Cruz in the
Dominican Republic, where
he had dinner with Cruz,
Cano and new shortstop Jean
Segura.
Cruz, Seattle’s designated
hitter, is coming off a 43-home
run, 105-RBI season.
For Cruz, the slogan
“Whatever It Takes” means
that even when a player
doesn’t want to think about
the higher expectations, they
are there for the Mariners.
He recalled how much fun he
and his teammates had the last
few days of last season, when
every pitch and every at-bat
was meaningful as the Mari-
while hoping to boost their NCAA
seeding.
No. 12 West Virginia at No. 9
Baylor, Feb. 27. The Bears will no
longer be a No. 1 seed after losing
both games last week and four of six.
Baylor could use a win over another
ranked opponent to move back up
the bracket. Beating a top-10 team
— assuming the Bears are still there
— could help the Mountaineers when
Selection Sunday rolls around.
VCU at Dayton, March 1. The
Rams and Flyers enter this week tied
atop the Atlantic 10 at 12-2 apiece.
Hold court this week and this game
will be for the conference title.
No. 10 Duke at No. 8 North Caro-
lina, March 4. One of the best rivalries
in the game is not a bad way to end the
regular season. The Blue Devils won
the first meeting 86-78 at Cameron
Indoor Stadium.
Colorado State at Nevada,
March 4. The Rams hold a one-game
lead over the Wolfpack heading into
this week, so this one could be for the
Mountain West Conference title.
No. 3 Kansas at Oklahoma State,
March 4. The Jayhawks will likely
have clinched their 13th straight Big
12 title by then but will still be playing
for a No. 1 NCAA Tournament seed.
The Cowboys could be playing for
their NCAA lives.
ners chased the postseason.
“But we came up short,
so we’ll make sure this year
we can be on top and clinch
early,” Cruz said. “Some-
times you have to leave your
comfort zone. If that means
I have to hit a ground ball
to second base, whatever it
takes. If you have to take one
for the team, you take it. You
have to go out there every day
and compete and just find a
way to get it done.”
NOTES: The Mariners
have players from 10 different
countries plus Puerto Rico in
camp: U.S., Canada, Domin-
ican Republic, Panama,
Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba,
Brazil, Japan and South
Africa. ... LHP Ariel Miranda,
5-2 with a 3.88 ERA in 10
starts last season, will continue
to work as a starter. With the
five-man rotation set for now,
Miranda figures to be the first
one to get the call if a replace-
ment is needed. “Certainly
based on what he did for us
last year, at this point I think
he’s earned that,” Servais
said. ... All five projected
starters — Hernandez, Hisashi
Iwakuma, Drew Smyly, James
Paxton and Yovanni Gallardo
— threw a bullpen session
Sunday.
