James Passes Malone, but Lakers Blow Lead in Loss to Wizards

By NOAH TRISTER, AP Sports Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — LeBron James passed Karl Malone on the career scoring list, leaving only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar still to catch. Then the Los Angeles Lakers wasted another stellar performance by their star. James came into the night needing 19 points to tie Malone. He ended up scoring double that, but the Washington Wizards rallied from a 16-point deficit to win 127-119 on Saturday night. James said he couldn't appreciate the milestone as much in a loss. “Obviously at some point I'll be able to look back at this moment, Running Shoes but right now the feeling I have — I can't separate it,” James said. “We had a great opportunity to pick up some more momentum.” In addition to James' 38 points, Russell Westbroo...

Saint Peter’s Is 3rd 15 Seed in Sweet 16, Beats Murray State

By GARY B. GRAVES, AP Sports Writer INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Undersized in every way, Saint Peter's became the latest NCAA Tournament darling that only the most ardent hoops fans had heard of before it stepped onto a court with a March Madness logo. These proud Peacocks from Jersey City, New Jersey, became the third No. 15 seed to advance to the Sweet 16, first tossing eight-time national champion Kentucky out of the bracket and then taking care of Murray State in a workmanlike 70-60 win on Saturday night. Even mid-major Murray State was taller and beefier than the Peacocks, Olukai Sandals  but that didn't bother coach Shaheen Holloway or his 6-foot-7, 195-pound power forward, KC Ndefo, who had 17 points and 10 rebounds and played bruising defense at the rim. ...

By TIM BOOTH, AP Sports Writer PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Drew Timme gathered his Gonzaga teammates at midcourt, pointed at the scoreboard showing a 10-point halftime deficit for the top overall seed and expressed a few choice words. Timme's goal was to spark his teammates with words. He did it with his play on the court, too. Or as Memphis coach Penny Hardaway said, “the Drew Timme effect came into play.” Timme scored 21 of his 25 points in the second half, and Gonzaga rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit to beat No. 9 seed Memphis 82-78 on Saturday night in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
