Battle scars indicators of Singler's energy, play
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) -If it's the NCAA tournament, then it must be time for Duke star Kyle Singler to collect a few more scars.
His latest badge of honor: Six stitches below his eye, courtesy of an errant elbow from a teammate this week during practice.
The injury isn't expected to bother him Friday night when the top-seeded Blue Devils (31-5) face the No. 4 seed Purdue Boilermakers in the South Regional semifinals in Houston.
But it has led to some good-natured ribbing from his teammates.
"I think he tries to do it," guard Nolan Smith said with a laugh. "I think he thinks he looks tough with stitches or a black eye."
Those battle scars also are painfully visible indicators of the energy and relentless drive Singler has brought to the postseason.
First, he emerged from the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament two weeks ago with a couple of noteworthy souvenirs: A slice of the Greensboro Coliseum net, and a 4-inch gash on the back of his right shoulder - the result of a spill over a courtside table during which he landed on ESPN play-by-play man Dan Shulman and nearly took out Dick Vitale, too.
Now this.
Teammates say Singler slashed down the lane during practice and caught an elbow from Andre Dawkins below his right eye. That required six stitches, and prevented him from participating in the Blue Devils' only media session before their Wednesday trip to Houston for the regional semifinals.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski says Singler will be "ready to go" to face Purdue.
Jon Scheyer, whose long list of superficial wounds includes the lasting scar he picked up in 2007 during the Blue Devils' one-and-done NCAA loss to Virginia Commonwealth, admitted that Singler has outdone even him.
"I thought I was in the lead my freshman and sophomore year, by far," Scheyer quipped, "but he caught me pretty quickly."
Those bumps and bruises don't seem to affect Singler's productivity.
He played through the slice on his shoulder to score 20 points - most coming from the foul line - in the ACC title game to claim tournament MVP honors. He's averaging 19 1/2 points in the NCAA tournament, hitting a combined 13 of 24 shots in wins against Arkansas-Pine Bluff and California while finding ways to create shots, both inside and out, in the framework of a motion offense that was tweaked to free him up more often after a late January loss to Georgetown.
"It gives him a chance to play outside, go back inside where he played the first two years at (power forward)," Smith said. "People can't match up with him inside. Then, he goes outside and guys can't guard him out there, either. He really gets to move and get shots wherever he wants."
In turn, that has led to more productivity for each of the Blue Devils' "Big Three." Scheyer, Smith and Singler are trying to become the third trio in Duke history to average at least 17 points apiece, and they're the highest-scoring threesome in the nation. Their combined average of 53 points accounts for 68 percent of the team's scoring.
At least two of them have scored in double figures in every game but one: Georgia Tech held Singler and Smith to nine points apiece in a 71-67 win over the Blue Devils two months ago in their ACC road opener.
"They're unselfish. They're not hunting their own points; they're hunting our points," Krzyzewski said. "And for guys who have to put up points, that's really good because everybody has different game plans, and the game plan might be to take Jon out or whatever you're going to do with Kyle or two of them. It's tough to take three of them out.
"So what they've done a good job of is adapting to whatever game plan is thrown against them," he added. "One of them usually has maybe a little bit more going for him that day, the matchup or the way they decide to play defense on those three guys. And they've been really good about that. None of them have been selfish at all. They're all averaging about 18 points a game. I think it's very unusual, but they're unusually good kids."

Overlooked Jackson plays key role in ND turnaround
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -Notre Dame point guard Tory Jackson wrestled the rebound away from Seton Hall's 6-foot-6 forward Jeff Robinson, sending the ball bouncing toward midcourt and out of bounds.
Jackson chased after it, though, dove and batted the ball right into the hands of Luke Harangody for an easy layup and a three-point play after he was fouled. Jackson got up and let out a yell at midcourt to celebrate.
It was typical Jackson, doing the gritty work while a teammate gets the glory. Despite leading the Big East in assists for the third time - only former Syracuse standout Sherman Douglas had done it until now - the 5-foot-11 Jackson has never been made Big East's all-conference team. Not even an honorable mention.
"He's always been a guy who has not gotten the attention he deserves," Notre Dame coach Mike Brey said. "What's been so great is it's never bothered him. He's just cared about his team winning and leading. I think that's what makes him a winner."
Jackson played a key role in helping the Irish win six of their last seven to finish 23-11 and earn a sixth seed in the NCAA tournament against Old Dominion (26-8) Thursday in New Orleans. While everyone has accepted the slowdown offense Brey turned to when leading scorer Harangody went down with a knee injury on Feb. 11 and missed five games, Jackson has been the one setting the pace.
"The way Tory controls the game, he knows when to push the ball and when to slow it down and burn it," Harangody said. "He's done a great job."
The Irish, who have been known for 10 seasons under Brey as an up-tempo team that didn't emphasize defense, were averaging 79.2 points and 57.8 shots a game before Brey decided to switch to a more deliberate offense. The Irish did so seamlessly in a double overtime loss at Louisville.
Since making the switch, the Irish are averaging 65.6 points and 49.6 shots a game and not only earned an NCAA berth, but a sixth seed.
"To play from off the map two-and-a-half weeks ago and really just an afterthought, to a six seed has got to be a little bit unprecedented in the history of finishes," Brey said. "I love the momentum we have heading into this tournament."
The change of speed wasn't hard for Jackson, who is 14th in the nation in assist-turnover ratio and 31st in assists at 5.3 a game. He said even though he's handling the ball more, it makes his job easier.
"It just helps us slow down and see the game a lot better," Jackson said. "It gets us great possessions every time."
Jackson, a senior from Saginaw, Mich., has played in and won more games than anyone in Notre Dame history. Brey calls Jackson the voice of the team, frequently saying his guard could run practice on his own without the coach. Jackson does some coaching before games as well.
"He's emphasizing things we talked about in the scouting report. He's verbalizing things we talked about the two previous days of practice. He's getting the guys individually," Brey said. "He's got a chatter in there that is extremely constructive."
Harangody describes Jackson as the team's glue.
"He's an energy guy. He brings it every time whether in practice or before a game. He's a guy keeping guys' attitudes up," Harangody said.
Jackson managed to stay positive when the Irish lost four of five games in January and appeared to be heading toward the same midseason slump that led to the previous season falling apart, when the Irish lost seven straight. He said he'd return to his apartment after some losses and just stare at the wall.
"I'm a sore loser. I may go home and hate everybody. But the next day I'm going to come back smiling, come back putting in more work and trying to figure out ways to win," he said.
Jackson finally got some recognition at the end of the season when he received the league's Sportsmanship Award and was named to the Big East all-tournament team. Jackson said being overlooked doesn't bother him, although he said it probably would have when he was younger and more brash.
He's more mature now and more humble. Besides, as the second youngest of 14 children, he's used to sharing the limelight. He's focused on one thing.
"If I'm doing what it takes to win, eventually in the end it will show," Jackson said. "Point guard is getting every one else involved."

College of Charleston basketball stays perfect at home against Samford in South Carolina
The College of Charleston men's basketball team had little trouble cruising past Samford in a 75-54 routing at the Carolina First Arena in Charleston, South Carolina.

A.C.C., Used to Success, Is Adjusting to Mediocrity
RALEIGH, N.C. --- It was not long after North Carolina beat North Carolina State that Tar Heels forward Deon Thompson uttered a telling comment about the Atlantic Coast Conference.
''We just shook the A.C.C. up a little bit with us winning,'' Thompson said.
Only in a season like this could a victory by North Carolina, the defending national champion, against a rival like North Carolina State that it typically beats rank anywhere close to jarring. The league that calls itself college basketball's most tradition-rich conference has just two ranked teams, one among the top 20 in the Ratings Percentage Index, and a muddled set of league standings as January comes to a close.
It is hardly a down year on the level of what is going on in the Pacific-10, but the A.C.C. certainly does not have the powerful feel of seasons past.
''I guess murky would be the best word,'' said Mike Gminski, a former all-American player for Duke and now a television analyst for A.C.C. games. ''To look at the 12 teams, you'd say, 'I really don't see a clear picture here at all.' ''
No conference can match the A.C.C.'s level of success over the past 30 years. The league has won nine N.C.A.A. championships -- four coming in the past decade. No other league has more than five. Teams from the conference have combined to make 28 Final Fours over that stretch, more than any other league, and at least one A.C.C. team was ranked No. 1 at some point in 25 of those seasons. The past six seasons, at least one A.C.C. team has been a No. 1 seed in the N.C.A.A. tournament.
This season's group, however, does not stand up to the history.
After three A.C.C. teams held the No. 1 ranking in the same month last season, Duke (17-3, 5-2 entering Saturday) is currently the league's highest-ranked team, at No. 8. Georgia Tech (15-5, 4-3) is No. 22.
As for the rest of the league, there are the surprises (Maryland, Virginia), the solid (Clemson, Florida State, Wake Forest) and the underachieving (North Carolina).
But no other ranked teams.
''It's really up for grabs,'' Virginia guard Sammy Zeglinski said. ''We're at the point in the season where we could go one of two ways. We could go into the middle of the pack of the A.C.C. or really separate ourselves and keep getting better and dig deep.''
While that may make for more close games or dramatic finishes, it is probably not the best thing for how the league is perceived nationally.
The A.C.C. is third in conference R.P.I. behind the Big East and the Big 12, according to CollegeRPI.com. But there are no teams like last season's Tar Heels, who romped through the N.C.A.A tournament for their second title in five seasons, or like Duke in 2001 or Maryland in 2002, teams that also won titles.
Instead, 10 of 12 teams already have at least five losses over all.
''The Carolina team last year doesn't happen very often,'' Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski said. ''The landscape of college basketball has changed during this decade to produce this, and we see it in our league with good coaches, good commitment from the schools, and the talent spread out.''
Some drop-off should have been expected considering 10 of the 15 players named all-conference last season, including the entire first team, graduated or left early for the N.B.A. But the league also lost the annual A.C.C./Big Ten Challenge for the first time this season after winning the first 10 editions.
In an illustration of how jumbled things are, the Cavaliers (12-6, 3-2) were picked to finish 11th in the league, but started 3-0 in conference play. Maryland (14-5, 4-1) was expected to be in the middle of the pack, but sits atop the standings. Yet both teams lost to Wake Forest (14-5, 4-3), which lost to Miami (15-5, 1-5), which is in last place.
Momentum has been hard to maintain, too. North Carolina State (13-8, 2-5) shook off last-second losses to Arizona and Florida and a home loss to Virginia in which it squandered a lead to upset Duke. The Wolfpack followed with an 88-64 loss at Maryland, then went scoreless for eight minutes in a home loss to the struggling Tar Heels (13-7, 2-3), who had looked lost in recent weeks.
Things will have to change if anyone wants to head into March with momentum.
''It can change like that,'' Florida State's Chris Singleton said, snapping his fingers. ''If you can win and go on a streak, you control your own destiny. That's how it is.
''You can't lose two games in a row. If you lose two games in a row, you're back to the bottom.''

Once dominant in college basketball, Pac-10 endures season of mediocrity
For more than two decades, Mike Montgomery could always pinpoint at least one juggernaut -- usually UCLA, Arizona or the Stanford team he coached -- that would carry the flag for the Pacific-10 Conference and position itself in the national rankings for the bulk of the season.
"There was always somebody, if not two, then three," said Montgomery, who spent 18 years at Stanford and is now in his second season at California. "And this year there just doesn't appear to be. I don't remember a year like this."
No major conference in the sport's modern era has endured a year like this. Depicted more as a punch line than a power conference, the Pac-10 is in the midst of a historically subpar season, putting it in danger of becoming the first major conference since the NCAA tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985 to receive just one berth.
Because of a confluence of events -- self-imposed sanctions at Southern California, early player defections to the NBA and a rotten leaguewide showing in nonconference play -- the Pac-10 tournament champion may be the conference's lone representative in the NCAA tournament. After receiving six tournament berths in each of the past three seasons, the Pac-10 could be on its way to earning fewer bids than the West Coast or Missouri Valley conferences.
"I don't think you should just end up with just one team," Oregon Coach Ernie Kent said. "I just don't think that."
But no greater Pac-10 authority than former Arizona coach Lute Olson recently told a small group of reporters that the conference is probably at its lowest point since he arrived at Arizona in 1983. No Pac-10 team is nationally ranked, and two weeks ago none of the league's teams received one vote in the Associated Press top 25 poll.
As a whole, the conference is rated eighth -- behind the Mountain West and Atlantic 10 -- in the Ratings Percentage Index, the mathematical measurement of teams' strength that the NCAA tournament selection committee considers when weighing postseason bids. And the Pac-10 has the same number of teams (one) ranked in the top 50 of the RPI as the Ivy League and two fewer than the Colonial Athletic Association.
"A lot of teams are really close to being even," Washington Coach Lorenzo Romar said of his league.
Or equally mediocre. Oregon won its first two games in conference play only to lose at home to Oregon State, which four days earlier had lost to Seattle -- a team that is transitioning from Division II to Division I -- by 51 points. Stanford lost to California by 26 points only to beat UCLA and USC in its next two games. And Washington lost three straight league games only to pummel California and Stanford by a combined 48 points.
Not since the 1978-79 season has every Pac-10 team won a conference game so early in the season. Montgomery has said he would not be surprised to see the regular season champion lose six conference games.
The parity makes for an enthralling conference race but doesn't necessarily help teams in pursuit of one of the 34 NCAA tournament at-large berths. It doesn't help that most of the league's perennial stalwarts have fallen on hard times.
UCLA, which made three consecutive Final Four appearances between 2006 and 2008, has a losing overall record. Arizona has hovered around .500 and is at risk of ending its streak of 25 straight NCAA tournament appearances. And USC, which has made three straight tournament appearances and has looked at times like the most promising Pac-10 team this season, self-imposed a postseason ban because of NCAA rule violations.
One of the biggest reasons for the sorry state of the conference is the number of players -- including O.J. Mayo (USC), Kevin Love and Russell Westbrook (UCLA), and Brook and Robin Lopez (Stanford) -- who left early for the NBA the past two seasons. In 2008 alone, 11 Pac-10 players were selected in the draft, including three -- Mayo, Westbrook and Love -- in the top five. And guard Brandon Jennings, now a Milwaukee Bucks rookie, opted to play last season in Italy rather than try to become academically eligible at Arizona, where he had committed.
Montgomery said that if many of those players remained in school, then five Pac-10 teams would now rank in the top 20. UCLA Coach Ben Howland, whose program has been hit as hard as any by players leaving early, added: "You just have to point out that we just lost 13 guys to the first round of the NBA the last two years, the most draft picks than anybody in the country. The Pac-10 is doing something right."
For Pac-10 teams, there was also self-inflicted damage during nonconference play, which is critical in helping teams secure quality victories and a relatively high RPI that benefits all conference teams during league play. Not only did Pac-10 teams go 2-12 against ranked opponents, but its teams won just 63 percent of its nonconference games, a percentage worse than that of the other five power conferences as well as the Mountain West and Missouri Valley.
"Overall as a league, we didn't have what you would call any key signature nonconference wins," USC Coach Kevin O'Neill said. "When you look at that, that usually determines who is in the top 25."
There also were costly losses: UCLA to Cal State Fullerton, Stanford to Oral Roberts and San Diego, Oregon to Montana, and Oregon State to Seattle, Illinois-Chicago and Sacramento State. The one team (USC) that earned impressive victories -- beating Tennessee and Saint Mary's -- is not even eligible for postseason play. And California, the team with the highest expectations entering the season, has been riddled by injuries.
Montgomery acknowledged that early-season losses hurt the league in the long run, but added that here is "not much we can do now that we are only playing within [the] conference."
Jerry Palm, who simulates the RPI on his Web site CollegeRPI.com, believes the best comparison for the Pac-10 is last season's Southeastern Conference, whose nonconference RPI was worse than the Pac-10's this season. But the SEC had one team (Tennessee) earn an at-large bid with strong nonconference play and another (Louisiana State) earn one with in-conference dominance.
Palm said the Pac-10 could end up as a one-bid league because it lacks a team dominating league play as well as a team -- at least one eligible for postseason play -- with strong nonconference credentials. Is there still time for the Pac-10 to recover this season and earn five or six berths?
"Well, that is going to be difficult," Montgomery said. "We kind of made our bed in November and December."

College Basketball: Irish hope to derail UConn
Although Notre Dame has a history of ending notable winning streaks, the Irish women may need help today ending top-ranked Connecticut's 55-game streak.
The consensus among Big East Conference coaches is that any team hoping to beat UConn will need the Huskies to play poorly. Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw agreed that UConn would have to make some mistakes against the third-ranked Irish in the game in South Bend, Ind.
Former Texas coach Jody Conradt has 900 career victories and believes that this year's UConn team might be the most dominant ever, saying she can't remember a wider gap between the top team and the others.
Notre Dame's 10-point loss to the Huskies last season was the narrowest margin of victory for the Huskies during their streak.
Elsewhere. Lindsey Loutsenhizer scored a game-high 22 points in a losing effort as Manhattan fell to Loyola (Md.), 74-57, in Baltimore. . . . Brown beat Yale, 60-56, in Providence, R.I.
Men
Brown 75, Yale 66 - Steve Gruber came off the bench to score 15 points as the Bears (7-11) beat the Bulldogs (6-12) in the Ivy League opener for both teams in New Haven, Conn.
The game was tied five times in the second half. After the Bulldogs pulled within three, Brown used a 10-1 run to pull away.
St Peter's 77, Rider 66 - Wesley Jenkins scored 26 points, grabbed 9 rebounds, and hit 4 three-pointers to lead the Peacocks (9-8, 4-3 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference) over the Broncs (10-9, 3-4) in Lawrenceville, N.J.
Loyola (Md.) 68, Marist 61 - Freshman Robert Olson scored a career-high 20 points, helping the Greyhounds (9-8, 2-5 MAAC) snap a three-game losing skid with a win over the Red Foxes (1-16, 1-6) in Baltimore.

ACC's decline may open up space for Terps
But it could also mean fewer NCAA berths.
COLLEGE PARK --- It's popular among pundits this season to note the Atlantic Coast Conference's balance - how the mighty have fallen back to the pack in basketball.
The thinking goes that all this parity has created opportunities for teams other than North Carolina and Duke - Maryland, perhaps? - to make moves.
"It definitely opens it up for the middle-of-the-pack schools to make a real push for a top-three finish, and Maryland can be one of those teams," said Van Coleman, national recruiting analyst for Hoopmasters.com. "Led by [Greivis] Vasquez, [Eric] Hayes and [Landon] Milbourne, they have the nucleus to do just that."
But Coleman and other forecasters know there are also potential pitfalls for the ACC in the new balance of power. With the conference perceived as weaker - consider the ACC's loss this season in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge - there might not be as many slots waiting when the NCAA tournament comes around.
For that reason, Coleman and others said it might be more critical this season for teams such as the Terps to finish in the league's top four or five. Seven ACC schools made it to the NCAAs last season.
"I don't think Maryland, or anyone else, is helped by the league being down," said Jerry Palm, owner of the CollegeRPI.com Web site. "It diminishes the value of a conference win and means you might need more of them to make a case for the tournament. That's not just Maryland; that's everyone."
Maryland (9-4) will open its ACC season Sunday against Florida State at Comcast Center.
Heading into their league schedule, the Terps have yet to get a signature win, Palm said. "For Maryland specifically, every team they have played with a sniff of hope for the tournament has beaten them. They have a lot of work to do," he said.
After advancing to the NCAA tournament's second round last season, Maryland has lofty ambitions with three senior starters, including Vasquez, who flirted with entering the NBA a year early. He opted to remain at the school to improve his game and draft position. The Terps gained much-needed size with the addition of freshmen Jordan Williams (6 feet 10) and James Padgett (6-8).
Maryland's most notable game so far has not been a victory, but rather the 83-77 loss to William & Mary at Comcast Center on Dec. 30. It was a game in which the Terps shot poorly - 4-for-25 on 3-point tries - and didn't display the inside-outside balance coaches wanted. "We have to figure out some things with our team," coach Gary Williams said afterward. But Williams cautioned that it was premature to make judgments about his team before the conference schedule has even begun.
Here are summaries of the ACC teams. The Terps play each at least once and face Duke, North Carolina State, Clemson and Florida State twice.
BOSTON COLLEGE: Maryland was not sorry to see the departure of Tyrese Rice, who was occasionally a Terps nemesis during his four years.
Without the speedy guard, Al Skinner's team is still finding its way. The Eagles have nonconference losses to Harvard, Rhode Island and Maine but still have Rakim Sanders, a top scorer.
CLEMSON: A Top 25 team most of the early season, the Tigers upended Butler, then ranked 12th, on Nov. 29.
Senior forward Trevor Booker is a solid scorer and rebounder, and is approaching former Terp Lonny Baxter's career blocked shots record.
The Tigers were hammered by Duke on Sunday in their conference opener.
DUKE: Jan. 24 is a date that will live in Maryland infamy. The Terps went to Cameron Indoor Stadium last season and got blasted, 85-44 - their largest margin of defeat in 65 years.
The Terps lost twice more to the Blue Devils during the season, including in the ACC tournament.
Maryland's matchup problems against Duke come partly from size. The Devils can go 6-8, 6-8, 6-10 across their front line. With guard Jon Scheyer playing particularly well, Duke also possesses inside-outside balance.
"They do have three great perimeter players if you count [Kyle] Singler as a perimeter player," Gary Williams said.
FLORIDA STATE: Maryland's first ACC opponent this season lost leading scorer Toney Douglas, who took the Seminoles to the ACC tournament championship game last season.
The 'Noles have surprised some observers with a strong start, including wins over Georgia Tech, Alabama and Marquette.
GEORGIA TECH: Watch out for Derrick Favors, who leads ACC freshmen in scoring and is a big reason Georgia Tech is improved from last season, when it finished 2-14 in the conference.
Gani Lawal returns as one of the league's best rebounders and shot blockers.
MIAMI: The Hurricanes will find it hard to replace former Calvert Hall standout Jack McClinton, the sweet-shooting guard who was an All-ACC first-team selection.
Guard Malcolm Grant, a transfer from Villanova, is a 3-point threat.
NORTH CAROLINA: After Maryland's 17-point loss at North Carolina last season, Gary Williams put in writing his belief that the Terrapins would beat the Tar Heels in the rematch at Comcast Center. Then he asked his players to do the same. The Terps, indeed, beat the Tar Heels in their second meeting.
Maryland's success this season will depend on its ability to neutralize Ed Davis and others in Carolina's imposing frontcourt.
NORTH CAROLINA STATE: You can bet the Wolfpack will remember losing twice to the Terps last season, including in the ACC tournament.
Last year, Maryland had to overcome a big N.C. State frontcourt with Brandon Costner and Ben McCauley. With those two gone, the 'Pack relies largely on forwards Tracy Smith and Dennis Horner.
VIRGINIA: The Cavaliers were 4-12 in the ACC last season but can hope for improvement under new coach Tony Bennett and sophomore Sylven Landesberg, who is averaging 16.5 points through 12 games.
Virginia is effective from the 3-point line.
VIRGINIA TECH: Terps fans will remember Jeff Allen's rude gesture at them during Maryland's win last season.
This season, the Hokies have lost only once - to Temple - and are 12-1.
The Hokies are led by Malcolm Delaney (Towson Catholic), who might be the ACC's top scorer this season.
WAKE FOREST: The Demon Deacons underperformed last season with Jeff Teague and James Johnson, who both decided to leave early for the NBA.
Wake, a top rebounding team, still has talented forward Al-Farouq Aminu and a victory over Gonzaga to its credit.
Maryland's win over Wake in the ACC tournament was among its most inspired efforts of last season.
