TERRY ROZIER DECLINES TO ADDRESS INVESTIGATION, SAYS HE WON’T HAVE ISSUE FOCUSING ON BASKETBALL

MIAMI (AP) — Terry Rozier declined to answer questions Friday about the investigations by federal prosecutors into unusual betting patterns surrounding his play in a game when he was with the Charlotte Hornets in 2023.

Rozier, now with the Miami Heat, is linked to the same probe that led to former Toronto Raptors player Jontay Porter being banned for life from the NBA, facing criminal prosecution and eventually pleading guilty to committing wire fraud.

Porter is awaiting sentencing. There has been no indication that Rozier is under criminal investigation, and he has not been charged with a crime.

“On advice from counsel, I can’t answer any questions about that matter,” Rozier said Friday. “So, I won’t.”

The Wall Street Journal on Thursday first reported the investigation surrounding the Hornets-New Orleans game involving Rozier on March 23, 2023. Rozier left the game after 9 1/2 minutes and not only did not return — foot discomfort was the reason cited — he did not play again for the Hornets that season.

The NBA said it has previously looked into the Rozier situation and did not find that any league rules were broken. It confirmed Thursday that there is an investigation by the U.S. attorney’s office for the Eastern District of New York, and the league said it is “cooperating with that investigation.”

Rozier — averaging 12.1 points per game this season — will continue to play for the Heat, per usual. Miami opens a road trip at San Antonio on Saturday.

“His status is still the same,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said when asked about Rozier’s place with the team on Friday.

Rozier said he’s “in a great headspace” and that he does not anticipate any issues being able to focus on playing, even with the investigation now having been revealed publicly.

“It’s kind of always been easy. It’s kind of been my life,” Rozier said. “You know, once I get in between them lines, I can block out anything. So, it’ll be pretty easy for me. I’m around a great group of guys. We’ve got a great locker room, great staff, so it’s easy for me.”

In that March 23, 2023, game, Rozier finished with five points, four rebounds and two assists in that opening period — a productive quarter, but well below his usual total output for a full game.

Posts still online from that date show that some bettors were furious with sportsbooks that evening when it became evident that Rozier was not going to return to the Charlotte-New Orleans game after the first quarter, with many turning to social media to say that something “shady” had gone on regarding the prop bets involving his stats for that night.

Some sportsbooks offered Rozier prop bets — his totals for that night were generally set around 21.5 points, six assists and four rebounds — that day, then took them down hours before the start of the Charlotte-New Orleans game. It was not clear why that happened, and some bettors wondered aloud why that unusual move had taken place. Rozier was not listed on the team’s injury report going into the game.

The 30-year-old Rozier is in the third year of a four-year, $96.3 million contract.

Porter’s ban came after a similar investigation into his performance and “prop bets” — wagers where bettors can choose whether a player will reach a certain statistical standard or not during a game. The Porter investigation started once the league learned from “licensed sports betting operators and an organization that monitors legal betting markets” about unusual gambling patterns surrounding Porter’s performance in a game on March 20, 2024, against Sacramento.

The league determined that Porter gave a bettor information about his own health status prior that game and said that another individual — known to be an NBA bettor — placed an $80,000 bet that Porter would not hit the numbers set for him in parlays through an online sports book. That bet would have won $1.1 million.

NBA ROUNDUP: CELTICS WIN ON JAYSON TATUM’S LAST-SECOND SHOT

Jaylen Brown scored 28 points and Jayson Tatum added 27, including a tiebreaking jumper with 0.2 seconds left, as the visiting Boston Celtics held off the New Orleans Pelicans 118-116 on Friday night.

Tatum added 10 assists, Kristaps Porzingis and Derrick White scored 16 points each and Luke Kornet had 11 off the bench for the Celtics, who earned their third win in four games.

Trey Murphy III scored a season-high 40 points, Jose Alvarado added 20 and CJ McCollum had 17 for New Orleans, which lost its fifth straight game.

Pelicans starting point guard Dejounte Murray had to be helped to the locker room after injuring his lower right leg in the first quarter. He did not return, and postgame reports indicated he tore his Achilles tendon.

Nuggets 137, 76ers 134

Nikola Jokic posted 28 points, 13 assists and nine rebounds to lift visiting Denver past Philadelphia.

While Jokic made the key plays down the stretch, Jamal Murray led Denver with 31 points to go with 11 assists. Michael Porter Jr. chipped in 24 points to help the Nuggets snap a three-game skid.

Tyrese Maxey scored 42 points and Guerschon Yabusele had a career-high 28 for Philadelphia, which remained without Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (finger). The Sixers had won their previous four games. Yabusele attempted a tough heave from half court that fell short at the buzzer.

Clippers 112, Hornets 104

Norman Powell scored 27 points and Kawhi Leonard added 21 points as Los Angeles won at Charlotte.

Ivica Zubac (14 points, 11 rebounds) and James Harden (14 points, 10 assists) racked up double-doubles as the Clippers won for the fourth time in five games.

Miles Bridges scored 27 points and grabbed nine rebounds while Vasilije Micic supplied 20 points for the Hornets, who lost for the fifth time in their last six outings.

Spurs 144, Bucks 118

Victor Wembanyama amassed 30 points and 14 rebounds to lead San Antonio to a rousing win over visiting Milwaukee to snap a four-game home losing streak.

Keldon Johnson added 24 points for San Antonio, which won for just the second time in its past seven outings. Stephon Castle hit for 20 points, Harrison Barnes had 16, and Devin Vassell and Chris Paul scored 12 points each in the win.

Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo led all scorers with 35 points and also took 14 rebounds. Damian Lillard added 22 points, Khris Middleton tallied 21 and Taurean Prince racked up 13 for the Bucks.

Suns 130, Warriors 105

Devin Booker led six Phoenix players in double figures, Stephen Curry was limited to 14 points and Phoenix ran away from host Golden State in San Francisco.

Booker totaled a game-high 31 points and 11 assists, Bradley Beal had 21 points off the bench, and Kevin Durant chipped in with 19 for the Suns, who won for the ninth time in their past 12 games.

Andrew Wiggins and Moses Moody paced the Warriors with 17 points apiece on a night when Curry shot just 1-for-6 from 3-point range.

Bulls 122, Raptors 106

Coby White had 25 points and six assists and visiting Chicago ended Toronto’s five-game winning streak by romping to a win.

Bulls center Nikola Vucevic had 12 points and six rebounds in the first quarter and finished with 21 and 12, respectively. Josh Giddey added 15 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Chicago got good production from the bench with Jalen Smith contributing 17 points, Matas Buzelis scoring 12, Patrick Williams chipping in with 11 points and nine rebounds and Dalen Terry putting up 10 points.

Scottie Barnes had 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Raptors, and RJ Barrett added 19 points and nine boards. Immanuel Quickley returned from injury to score 13 of his 14 points in the first half. Jacob Poeltl had eight points, nine rebounds and five blocked shots.

Pistons 117, Mavericks 102

First-time All-Star Cade Cunningham poured in 40 points and host Detroit snapped a three-game losing streak with a victory over Dallas.

Tobias Harris had 17 points and Jalen Duren contributed 16 points, 13 rebounds and five assists. Marcus Sasser chipped in 10 points.

Kyrie Irving led the Mavericks with 28 points. P.J. Washington scored 22 and grabbed 13 rebounds, while Daniel Gafford supplied 16 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks. Klay Thompson added 13 points.

WNBA NEWS

REPORTS: MERCURY ACQUIRE SATOU SABALLY IN ANOTHER BLOCKBUSTER

The WNBA’s busy offseason continues to steamroll ahead, with another big trade going down a day before deals can even be made official.

According to multiple reports, the Phoenix Mercury acquired two-time All-Star forward Satou Sabally from the Dallas Wings as part of a three-team trade on Friday night.

The Wings are reportedly receiving point guard Ty Harris and forward Mikiah “Kiki” Herbert Harrigan from the Mercury and forward NaLyssa Smith and the No. 8 selection in this year’s draft from the Indiana Fever.

The Fever will acquire guard Sophie Cunningham and the No. 19 pick this year from Phoenix, and the Mercury will get center Kalani Brown and point guard Sevgi Uzun from Dallas.

It is the latest in a bevy of moves in recent weeks, and not the first involving the Mercury and Dream.

On Tuesday, 10-time All-Star Brittney Griner left Phoenix — the team that drafted her No. 1 overall in 2013 — to sign a free agent deal with Atlanta.

The Mercury also acquired five-time All-Star Alyssa Thomas from the Connecticut Sun the same day. Phoenix acquired Harris in that deal.

Dallas had designated Sabally their core player, akin to the franchise tag in the NFL, meaning a trade was the most likely way to move a player who at the end of the season made it clear she was done playing for the Wings.

Sabally, 26, was limited to 15 games in 2024 because of a shoulder injury and averaged 17.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists. The previous season she averaged 18.6, 8.1 and 4.4 en route the league’s Most Improved Player award. Through five seasons, the former University of Oregon star is averaging 15.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 97 career games with 87 starts.

Harris, 26, spent her first three seasons with Dallas before spending the last two in Connecticut. She sports career averages of 6.6 points and 2.6 assists but is a career 38.3 percent shooter from long range.

Herbert Harrigan, 26, has played in only 53 games with three starts in three WNBA seasons, spending one season each with Minnesota, Seattle and Phoenix. In 31 games (three starts) last season with the Mercury, she produced 3.2 points and 1.5 rebounds per contest.

Smith, 24, is coming off a season in which she posted the worst numbers of her career, averaging 24.8 minutes, 10.6 points and 7.1 rebounds. The previous season saw her post 15.5 points and 9.2 rebounds in 28.5 minutes.

NHL NEWS

NHL ROUNDUP: AVS SCORE 4 IN FIRST, SHUT OUT BLUES

Jonathan Drouin had two goals and added an assist, Martin Necas scored his first goal with Colorado, and the Avalanche scored four in the first period to beat the St. Louis Blues 5-0 in Denver on Friday night.

Mackenzie Blackwood had 19 saves for his first shutout with Colorado and second this season. Cale Makar and Joel Kiviranta also scored to give Necas and Jack Drury a successful debut in Denver.

The Avalanche acquired Necas and Drury on Jan. 24 in a trade with Carolina. Colorado sent leading goal scorer Mikko Rantanen to the Hurricanes.

Joel Hofer turned away 31 shots for St. Louis, which has lost four in a row. The Blues have lost five of their last six games.

Stars 5, Canucks 3

Jason Robertson and Roope Hintz each scored twice in three-point performances to lead host Dallas over Vancouver.

Oskar Back also scored for the Stars, who have won four straight games. Goaltender Jake Oettinger delivered an excellent 26-save performance, especially over the first two periods.

Conor Garland, Jake DeBrusk and Carson Soucy replied for the Canucks, who saw their three-game winning streak snapped hours after trading away impact forward J.T. Miller. Goalie Thatcher Demko stopped 11 shots.

Sabres 4, Predators 3

Rookie Jiri Kulich scored twice, including the tiebreaking goal with 2:04 remaining, and Buffalo overcame blowing a 2-0 lead to beat visiting Nashville.

On the transition, Sabres star Tage Thompson sent a pass across the high slot for Kulich, who drilled a shot past Nashville goalie Justus Annunen (23 saves) to record his second two-goal game. The Sabres won consecutive games for just the second time in January.

Brady Skjei had a goal and an assist for Nashville, which has lost three in a row after winning five straight.

Blue Jackets 3, Utah Hockey Club 2 (OT)

Zach Werenski scored 1:01 into overtime and Columbus overcame a 2-0 third-period deficit to beat Utah in Salt Lake City.

Werenski finished off a two-on-none breakaway with Cole Sillinger after stealing the puck in the Utah zone. Kirill Marchenko and Kent Johnson also scored and Daniil Tarasov made 31 saves for Columbus, which has won three in a row, all in overtime.

Nick Schmaltz and Alexander Kerfoot scored, Clayton Keller logged two assists and Karel Vejmelka made 20 saves for Utah, which has lost four in a row (0-2-2) despite being tied or holding the lead during the third period of each contest.

BACK TO NASCAR’S ROOTS: BOWMAN GRAY TO HOST 1ST CUP SERIES RACE SINCE 1971 WITH PRESEASON CLASH

NASCAR is back, old-school style, as 2025 opens with a return to the “Mecca of Madhouse” for Sunday night’s preseason Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium.

The Winston-Salem quarter-mile notorious for its rough-and-tumble racing style and numerous fights will host its first Cup Series event since 1971 with the non-points exhibition race.

“I think it’s great that the location is changing, and I think it should change every year,” Hendrick Motorsports driver Alex Bowman said. “We have the capability of doing it. Continuing to evolve it and do different things is kind of what NASCAR has become all about. I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds.”

The unofficial kickoff to the new season was held at Daytona International Speedway from 1979 to 2021 as the warm-up act to the Daytona 500. NASCAR stepped outside the box in 2022 and moved it across the country to Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which was transformed from a football stadium into a temporary short track for three seasons.

Last year’s rain-impacted Clash forced NASCAR into an unprecedented scramble to cram all on-track activities into one day — resulting in a financial bloodbath for the sanctioning body.

The racing at the Coliseum was by no means good as drivers struggled to string together multiple green-flag laps, resulting in caution-heavy crash fests that was anything but entertaining. So NASCAR decided to return to its simpler roots and stay closer to home in 2025.

But racing purists love historic Bowman Gray and the Clash sold out its 17,000 seats two months ago. The facility is owned by the city, is home of Winston-Salem State University’s football team, and was built in 1937 as a public works project to provide jobs during the Great Depression. The first event at the new stadium was a 1938 football game between Wake Forest and Duke.

The first Cup race was held in 1958 and won by Bob Welborn. Rex White’s six victories is the Cup Series record. Hall of Famer Glen Wood won four times — and logged a total of 29 victories across all divisions — and his sons remember the fun they had watching Daddy race at one of the most volatile circuits in NASCAR.

Wood Brothers Racing fittingly kicks off its 75th season of NASCAR competition with this weekend’s return to Bowman Gray.

“There were probably a dozen people that went every Saturday night and you sat at the same place. You’d go get french fries with vinegar on them. We couldn’t have peanuts. I wanted some, but they wouldn’t let you because of the (superstitious) peanut thing,” team co-owner Eddie Wood said. “Bowman Gray is really special to me. When I first heard they were even thinking about going to the stadium to race the Clash I thought, ‘Man, that’s the coolest thing ever.’

“There’s something about Bowman Gray that brings out the worst in people, or the best,” he continued. “You can say it either way you want it, but I think everybody is really amped up about doing well there.”

Weekly local racing has remained a fixture at Bowman Gray since NASCAR pulled out of the stadium, and the lower divisions have made the track notorious for the brawls that often ensue after on-track altercations. When NASCAR was asked this week about Bowman Gray’s penchant for fighting, an official said in somewhat jest, “We just ask that (the drivers) do it on the frontstretch” — meaning in view of the spectators.

Who is in the race?

There are 39 cars entered this weekend, and eight have previous stock car experience at Bowman Gray. They are Bowman, reigning Daytona 500 winner William Byron, Cole Custer in his return to the Cup Series, Chase Elliott, Justin Haley, Kyle Larson, Daniel Suarez and Bubba Wallace.

Ryan Preece and Cody Ware have raced modifieds before at the track, as well as Bowman Gray weekly regulars Tim Brown and Burt Myers, who both secured Cup rides for the event. Brown is Bowman Gray’s record holder with 101 victories and 12 championships and will drive for Rick Ware Racing, where he is a mechanic and will work on the No. 15 Ford he will drive.

“Now that it’s actually coming to fruition it’s mind blowing. Anybody that knows me it’s very seldom that I’m ever speechless, but this has kind of made me speechless,” Brown said. “A lot of the Cup drivers that I’m buddies with were like, ‘Man, I was going to get you to be my driver coach or something,’ so now I don’t even talk with those guys because we want to go run as good as we can and not help those guys out at all.”

What is the format?

The track is too small for all 39 to be racing at once, so the cars will be split into three groups that receive two eight-minute practice sessions on Saturday night. The cars will then be split into two groups for one final four-minute practice session where their best lap will set the lineups for the heat races.

Four heats — three with 10 cars, one with nine cars spanning 25 laps — will run Saturday night. Only green-flag laps count, there will be no overtime, and the top five in each heat advance to Sunday night’s main event.

The remaining 19 cars will compete in a 75-lap race on Sunday, with the top-two cars advancing to the main. Of the 17 cars remaining, the driver with the highest points from last season will receive the 23rd and final spot in the main.

The main event will be 200 laps with a halftime break at 100 laps, and only green-flag laps count.

Upgrades for the event

To prepare for the Cup Series, NASCAR had to fortify the catch fence and install SAFER barriers. NASCAR also added new permanent LED lighting, but will require additional temporary lighting for the two nights of racing.

SEPP STRAKA EMERGES AS 36-HOLE LEADER AT PEBBLE BEACH PRO-AM

Austria’s Sepp Straka opened up a three-stroke lead at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am by firing his second straight round of 65 on Friday in Pebble Beach, Calif.

Straka followed a strong opening round at Spyglass Hill Golf Course with a 7-under-par 65 at Pebble Beach Golf Link on Friday with eight birdies and just one bogey. The field is playing one round apiece at each of the two courses before Pebble Beach hosts the weekend rounds.

Straka won The American Express two weeks ago for his third career PGA Tour title.

At 14-under 130, Straka is comfortably ahead of Russell Henley (69, Pebble Beach) and Australian Cam Davis (68, Spyglass Hill), tied for second at 11 under.

Andrew Novak fired a 65 at Spyglass Hill and Tony Finau posted a 67 there to join a tie for fourth at 10 under with Tom Kim of South Korea (65, Pebble Beach), England’s Justin Rose (69, Spyglass Hill) and Austin Eckroat (67, Pebble Beach).

Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy settled for a 70 at Pebble Beach one day after making a hole-in-one early in his round Thursday at Spyglass. At 8 under for the tournament, McIlroy is tied for 13th with other big names including Collin Morikawa (67, Pebble), Patrick Cantlay (70, Spyglass) and Irishman Shane Lowry (70, Spyglass).

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is in a tie at 7 under after posting 70 at Pebble Beach. All three of Scheffler’s birdies Friday were in one three-hole stretch (Nos. 6-8). He is competing for the first time since injuring his hand while cooking over the holidays a month ago.

Eighty players were eligible to compete in the signature event, but Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg withdrew Friday citing an illness one day after dropping to last place with an opening-round 77.

INDIANA PACERS

GAME PREVIEW: PACERS VS HAWKS

The Indiana Pacers (26-20) enter the month of February after securing the NBA’s best record in January at 10-2. They look to stack more wins on that total as they host the Atlanta Hawks (22-26) on Saturday in a clash of Eastern Conference foes.

The Pacers, winners of four in their last five contests, take on an Atlanta team riddled with injuries and desperately trying to stop a seven-game skid. The Hawks haven’t won a game since Jan. 18, when they defeated the Celtics in Boston.

Another layer of desperation enters the fray as All-Star reserves were announced on Thursday evening, and Hawks star point guard Trae Young didn’t make the list. Pascal Siakam was the lone Pacer to be selected to play in February’s All-Star game, marking the third selection of his career and first with the Pacers. Both sides will have plenty of motivation entering Saturday’s contest.

The Hawks are among the league’s worst three teams in turnovers per game. They commit over 16 a night – led by Young, the NBA’s assist leader, who turns it over nearly five times a game. Young averages 11.4 assists per contest, however, and Indiana will look to raise the intensity on the defensive end by leaning on physicality to force Young outside of his comfort zone as a playmaker.

With at least three regular rotation players featured on the injury report, Atlanta relies heavily on its depth to compensate for its missing players. Jalen Johnson – Atlanta’s leading rebounder and second-leading scorer – was recently ruled out for the season with a torn labrum. Clint Capela, the Hawks’ best shot blocker, isn’t with the team on this road trip due to a back injury.

The Hawks still boast an array of talented players despite the holes in the lineup. Dyson Daniels, a third-year player, leads the NBA in steals per game with 3.1 nightly swipes. De’Andre Hunter is posting a career-best 19.3 points per game this season off the bench for Atlanta, and scored 25 points against the league-leading Cavaliers on Thursday. Zaccharie Risacher was the first overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, and contributes 11 points per game to the Hawks’ attack.

But the Pacers have their own counters to a potent Atlanta offense.

In the last 10 games, Indiana posts a top-four defensive rating and limits opponents to 108.7 points per game. Siakam’s 23.6 points on 57.5 percent shooting in that same span lifts the Pacers’ offense as a complement to their steady defensive growth. The return of Aaron Nesmith from injury is another factor that raises Indiana’s defensive level. Nesmith didn’t score a single point in the Pacers’ win over the Pistons on Wednesday, but still recorded a +20 plus/minus in the box score.

Atlanta holds the ninth seed in the Eastern Conference – five games back from Indiana in the fifth spot. A victory within the East would still solidify the Pacers’ push to climb the Eastern Conference ladder as the All-Star break approaches in February.

Projected Starters

Pacers: G – Tyrese Haliburton, G – Ben Sheppard, F – Aaron Nesmith, F – Pascal Siakam, C – Myles Turner

Hawks: G – Trae Young, G – Dyson Daniels, F – Zaccharie Risacher, F – Mouhamed Gueye, C – Onyeka Okongwu

Injury Report

Pacers: Bennedict Mathurin – questionable (illness), Andrew Nembhard – questionable (thoracic spine sprain), Isaiah Jackson – out (torn right Achilles tendon), James Wiseman – out (torn left Achilles tendon)

Hawks: Bogdan Bogdanovic – out (personal reasons), Kobe Bufkin – out (right shoulder surgery), Clint Capela – out (back), Jalen Johnson – out (torn left labrum), Cody Zeller – out (personal reasons)

Last Meeting

Apr. 14, 2024: Myles Turner’s 31-point night gave the Pacers momentum as they defeated the Hawks in their regular season finale, 157-115.

Indiana’s offense was firing on all cylinders as it scored a season-high 157 points. That mark is the highest in Pacers franchise history since the club joined the NBA in 1976. The Blue and Gold shot a scorching 65 percent from the field, including a 52.8 percent success rate from beyond the 3-point arc.

Turner added 12 rebounds to his impressive 31 points and recorded four blocked shots in the contest. Pascal Siakam tallied 28 points as the Pacers surged to a spectacular regular season finale.

Indiana outscored Atlanta 71-43 in the second half as it secured the sixth seed in the NBA Playoffs – the franchise’s first trip back to the postseason since 2020.

Noteworthy

Myles Turner needs two defensive rebounds to pass Reggie Miller for seventh place in franchise history.

Tyrese Haliburton needs just six assists to pass Billy Keller for eighth place in franchise history.

Pascal Siakam was selected by NBA head coaches to be a reserve in February’s All-Star game.

Tyrese Haliburton and Trae Young each had cases to be selected for February’s All-Star game on Thursday. Neither was chosen to be on the Eastern Conference’s team.

INDIANA MEN’S BASKETBALL

HOOSIERS DROP LAST SECOND HEARTBREAKER

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Indiana wasn’t going away. Not this time. Not with this Friday night focus and intensity against No. 10 Purdue.

The Hoosiers found a level at Mackey Arena it hadn’t reached in any game this season, punished with dribble penetration, clutch perimeter shooting and blunt-force tenacity.

And yet …

A cliffhanger of a game that featured 15 lead changes and six ties came down the final 11 seconds. Six-straight Purdue points delivered an 81-76 Boilermaker victory and prevented a huge Hoosier upset. It was a painful follow up to IU’s 79-78 loss to Maryland five days earlier.

“It’s very frustrating,” fifth-year senior guard Trey Galloway said. “We’re right there. We have to finish. It’s making the right plays down the stretch. That’s the difference.”

A huge difference came when Galloway, who was basically unstoppable in the second half, didn’t have the ball in the closing seconds with Purdue up 77-76. Redshirt sophomore guard Myles Rice did and his driving shot was blocked.

“We were fortunate Trey didn’t have the ball in his hands at the end,” Purdue head coach Matt Painter said. “He was torching us. He was really good in the second half. That was huge.”

IU head coach Mike Woodson said he tried to get Rice’s attention to call a timeout. Rice finished 0-for-4 from the field and didn’t score.

“We have to connect better,” Woodson said. “I believe in him. I have to help him.”

Rivalry ferocity hit hard and often. This was not a game for the timid, not a showdown for the meek. IU’s five early offensive rebounds produced seven second-chance points and a we-ain’t-going-away statement.

And yet …

The Hoosiers lost for the fifth time in six games.

“Our guys competed,” Woodson said. “They did a hell of a job, but it’s about winning.”

Purdue (17-5 overall, 9-2 in the Big Ten) scored 26 points off of IU’s 20 turnovers. That, Woodson said, was the difference.

“That was huge. You can’t turn it over like that on the road. They made us pay.”

Sophomore forward Mackenzie Mgbako led Indiana (14-8, 5-6) with 25 points. Galloway had 15 points and five assists. Sixth-year senior center Oumar Ballo had 14 points. Senior forward Luke Goode had 13.

“Mack stepped up,” Woodson said. “Goode played extremely well.”

Three Hoosiers fouled out — Ballo, fifth-year senior guard Anthony Leal and junior forward Malik Reneau.

Purdue got a combined 47 points from guard Braden Smith and junior forward Trey Kaufman-Renn.

“We’ve been in so many of these games,” Smith said. “We’re comfortable in them. We don’t bat an eye. It was an ugly win, but we’ll take it.”

Goode and Mgbako combined for 21 of IU’s first 23 points. The sold-out Mackey Arena crowd, typically an intimidating force, was silenced into first-half irrelevance.

The Hoosiers’ 41-37 halftime lead was fueled by 55% shooting — a carryover from pre-game warm-up sharpshooting — and a 19-12 rebounding edge that blunted its 10 turnovers.

“IU manhandled us at the rim in the first half,” Painter said. “They were quicker to the ball. Goode was a big player in the first half. Galloway was really good in the second half.”

IU started big with Reneau and Ballo, but Reneau’s two early fouls gave Goode an opportunity. He capitalized for 13 first-half points on 4-for-6 shooting and three 3-pointers.

Purdue opened the game by missing its first three free throw attempts. IU hammered the offensive boards, Mgbako made a pair of layups, and the Hoosiers edged ahead 6-5.

Reneau picked up a pair of fouls in less than five minutes. Purdue surged to an 11-6 lead. A Goode 3-pointer pushed IU ahead 18-17 after nine minutes. Goode added two free throws off a Boilermaker technical foul for a 23-20 lead.

IU’s 9-0 run produced a 36-29 lead and forced a Purdue timeout. By halftime, the Hoosiers led 41-37 and were positioned for an upset victory. Goode set the pace with 13 points. Mgbako had 11. Ballo had nine.

Purdue opened the second half on an 11-1 run for a 48-42 lead, igniting eardrum-rocking crowd roars and forcing a Woodson timeout.

The Boilers built a seven-point lead but couldn’t extend it. The Hoosiers surged ahead 63-58 fueled by seven-straight Mgbako points.

Purdue tied it at 67-67 with four minutes left. An Mgbako 3-pointer gave IU a 70-69 lead as the clock ticked under three minutes. His two free throws tied it at 72-72.

Free throws got the Boilers a 75-72 lead. Two Galloway baskets pushed IU ahead 76-75 with 25 seconds left. It needed one more stop. Instead, Kaufman-Renn scored on an inside hook shot.

Following Rice’s blocked shot, Boiler guard Fletcher Loyer added a pair of free throws. Kaufman-Renn had two free throws of his own.

“The effort was there,” Galloway said. “We fought through a bunch of runs. We have to continue to keep competing. That’s the main thing. There were some plays we have to clean up. That was the difference.”

Added Woodson: “It’s about making plays down the stretch and securing the win. We had our chances. Kauffman made that hook shot and we didn’t capitalize coming back the other way.”

IU’s grueling schedule continues with a Tuesday trip to No. 17 Wisconsin.

“There are a lot of games left,” Galloway said. “We have to find ways to win. We want to win in the worst way possible.

“It’s always challenging to lose like this. We’re looking forward to going to Wisconsin.”

PURDUE MEN’S BASKETBALL

TREY KAUFMAN-RENN MAKES LATE BASKET TO SEND NO. 10 PURDUE PAST INDIANA, 81-76

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Braden Smith had a season high 24 points, Trey Kaufman-Renn made the go-ahead basket with 11 seconds left and No. 10 Purdue beat Indiana 81-76 on Friday night.

Kaufman-Renn finished with 23 points as Purdue (17-5, 9-2 Big Ten) erased a seven-point first half deficit to beat their biggest rival.

Mackenzie Mgbako led Indiana (14-8, 5-6) with 25 points. Trey Galloway had 15 points and Oumar Ballo added 14 points and eight rebounds. The Hoosiers have lost three straight and six of seven.

There were six lead changes in the final four minutes — the last coming when Kaufman-Renn made a 12-foot hook shot to give Purdue a 77-76 lead. The Boilermakers closed it out at the free throw line.

Takeaways

Indiana: The Hoosiers have struggled all season against better teams, but this game was the exception. They took a halftime lead with their best half of the season and though they fell just short, it was a promising sign from a team that’s been reeling.

Purdue: Coach Matt Painter has had the upper hand in this series in recent years with gritty, tough, overachieving rosters. A week between games might have contributed to a slow start, but Smith and Kaufman-Renn did just enough to win.

Key moment

Indiana had a chance to regain the lead in the closing seconds, but guard Myles Rice lost the ball as he drove toward the basket with 3.3 seconds to go. Purdue grabbed the loose ball and the Hoosiers were forced to foul.

Key stat

Indiana had 20 turnovers to 10 for Purdue. That gave the Boilermakers a decisive 26-15 scoring advantage off turnovers.

Up next

Both teams are back in action Wednesday night. Indiana is at Wisconsin, and Purdue is at Iowa.

NOTRE DAME MEN’S BASKETBALL

WELCOME TO MIAMI

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Don’t look now but the Fighting Irish (10-10, 4-5) are back to .500 on the season after winning three of its last four games, and with a win against Miami on Saturday, they can climb back to .500 in league play. Notre Dame’s current 4-5 league record puts them in ninth place heading into the weekend.

A victory on Saturday would also give the Irish their first back-to-back ACC road wins since the 2021-22 season. It would also mark Micah Shrewsberry’s first win against the Hurricanes as head coach.

It was around this time last year in which the Irish started to play their best basketball, rattling off five wins in six games in February of 2024. Coach Shrews says this season has been disjointed – learning to play without Burton, then inserting him back in 39 days later. The team is now settling in and looking to play their best basketball with three wins in a row.

The task at hand is a Florida road swing starting with Miami on Saturday, Feb. 1. That match will tip off at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN2.

The Irish trail the overall series against the Hurricanes, 13-17, with a 6-8 mark inside the Watsco Center. ND and Miami played twice last season: a 49-62 loss in Coral Gables and a 61-73 loss in South Bend. The Irish player who averaged the most points in those two contests is J.R. Konieczny at 13.5 ppg.

BURTON EMPHATICALLY BACK

After 39 days away rehabbing his knee injury, Burton has returned bigger and better than ever. The sophomore has fired off five consecutive games with 20 or more points, which hasn’t been done by an Irish player since Ben Hansbrough in February of 2011. Now before you ask, the last ND player with a longer streak was Luke Harangody with 14 straight in 2008-09.

Burton averaged a red-hot 22.3 ppg in January, which ranked second in the ACC only to Duke’s Cooper Flagg (25.4). That average ranked fourth amongst all power conference players.

The sophomore has recorded incredible stretches during this five-game stint and we’ll start with the most recent.

He poured in 18 of his 26 points in the second half against Georgia Tech, including back-to-back triples with less than 2:30 on the clock.

He scored the first nine points at Virginia before finishing with a team best 21. Prior, Burton dropped a first-half career high 22 points at Syracuse, finishing with 28.

CHASING ACHIEVEMENTS

Burton is currently averaging 20.4 ppg despite the two-point early-injury exit tarnishing that average. He’s also averaging a team best 3.3 apg.

If Burton can keep this up, he’ll join David Rivers as the only Irish players to average 20+ points and 3+ assists in a season. He would be just the 15th ACC player since 1996.

However, Burton isn’t the only one who can cement his name in the Irish record books this season. Grad transfer Matt Allocco owns a 3.69 assist-to-turnover ratio – the highest in program history for a season was 3.16 by Martin Inglesby back in 2000-01.

Allocco is also converting a career high 48.6 percent from deep. That number currently ranks second all-time for a season. The top spot belongs to Joe Fredrick who shot 52.1 percent in 1988-89.

THREE BALL HEATING UP

The Irish have great guard play and it’s showing with how well the three ball is goind down. In ACC play, Notre Dame is converting 41.3 percent from beyond the arc, which leads all league schools.

Overall on the year, the Irish have drained 37.9 percent from deep which ranks 25th in the country.

The Irish have connected on double-digit treys three times now over the past five games. They sunk 14 at Duke (which tied their season high), 12 in the win at Virginia and 10 in the win over Georgia Tech.

Allocco, Shrewsberry and Burton have been leading the three barrage, but Burton specifically has stepped up his game. He went from 30.0 percent from three-point range last year to 43.3 percent this season. He’s tied his career high of four made triples three times over the last five games. He’s 8-for-11 over the last two games.

THE TAE-KOVER

Tae Davis has emerged as one of the top talents in the ACC and should be a candidate for Most Improved. He’s averaging a career best 15.8 ppg, up from last year’s 9.2 ppg. His scoring average ranks 10th amongst ACC players. The Indy native is also shooting a career best 48.9 percent, which ranks 7th in the league.

Where is he getting it done? Well, the junior has been highly proficient around the rim where he’s 71-of-107 (.664).

He’s also improved from the free-throw line over the course of the season. He’s 24 for his last 29, raising his FT% to a career best 77.0 percent. Tae ranks fourth in the league in FT attempts and eighth in makes.

EVOLVING

When Burton was recovering, other Irish had to step up and evolve. We’ve already mentioned Tae Davis’ emergence but we’ve also seen Braeden Shrewsberry’s evolution.

The sophomore guard is averaging 14.8 ppg, up from last year’s 10.2. He’s shooting 43.6 percent, which is up from last year’s 39.8.

He’s connecting on 2.8 threes per game this season, with a .367 clip from beyond the arc. Shrewsberry’s sweet spot has been the corner three where he’s 14-31 (.452), which is 9.7 percent above the D1 average.

Shrewsberry boasts higher three ball numbers in ACC play where he ranks third in threes/game at 3.0 and third in three-point percentage at 41.5.

However, it’s important to point out that he’s added to his overall arsenal with a dangerous floater that keeps defenders guessing. He’s shooting 50.0 percent from midrange twos.

He’s 54.8 percent overall from two-point range and converting 60.0 percent over the last five games.

VET LEADER

When Coach Shrews added grad transfer Matt Allocco to the roster he got two things – a talented guard with NCAA Tournament experience and a leader by every definition of the word. Coach Shrews hoped that his young core of players would pick up those characteristics and then be leaders to the next group coming in.

This season, Allocco is averaging 9.8 ppg on 47.1 percent shooting. He’s draining a career best 48.6 percent from three. As previously mentioned, Allocco is also on pace for the highest A/TO ratio in program history at 3.69.

Allocco also leads the team in defensive rebounds per game at 4.2 and leads in +/- at +91 on the year.

NOTRE NOTABLES

With 13 points in the win over BC on Jan. 13, Matt Allocco officially crossed over the 1,000 career point milestone. He currently sits at 1,027.

Allocco boasts a true shooting percentage of 68.8 over the last five games. According to CBB Analytics that ranks in the 99th percentile.

Kebba entered the year with just four double-digit scoring performances to his name. He’s posted two in the month of January, including his first career double-double at NC State.

Speaking of Kebba, the junior is averaging 2.8 offensive rebounds/game in ACC play, which ranks fourth in the league.

Burton is averaging 2.4 made threes per game in ACC play which ranks sixth.

Yes Sir! – The freshman guard impressed at #4 Duke, recording his first double-digit scoring performance with 11 points on 4-7 shooting, plus 2-4 from three.

Notre Dame continues to raise its KenPom Offense Adj. Efficiency. Over the last several games, it has risen from 56th to 38th with a rating of 116.5. Notre Dame’s overall KenPom rating sits at No. 80.

BUTLER SOFTBALL

2025 SOFTBALL PREVIEW SERIES: OUTFIELDERS

Returning veterans in the Bulldogs’ outfield for 2025 include senior Ella White, juniors Cate Lehner and Hailey Conger, and sophomore Leigh Vande Hei. Lehner was an All-BIG EAST First Team selection last season, leading the team in batting average (.344), hits (62), sacrifice bunts (9), and stolen bases (26). Her 26 stolen bases ranked 2nd in the BIG EAST and was 27th nationally. Conger was fourth on the team in 2024 with a .296 batting average and picked up a BIG EAST Freshman of the Week honor. In addition to these returnees, junior Emily Todor, sophomore Erin Clark, and freshman Paton Law are expected to see significant innings in the grass.

“Having Cate and Hailey return to grass is very comforting as a coach,” stated Head Coach Scott Hall. “Cate will be no secret to opponents this spring. Those two, at the top of our order, are going to be difficult to handle back-to-back. Ella will be floating from infield to outfield, and I anticipate Leigh getting a lot of innings as well. Erin has worked hard in the offseason, and, hopefully, she will add some power at the plate for us.”

The Bulldogs will take the field for the first time on February 7 at the DePaul Dome Tournament in Rosemont, Illinois.

“We have a very versatile team this season,” added Hall, “and all of the girls will get plenty of opportunities to help as we chase a BIG EAST title later this spring. This group will continue to represent Butler with great pride, on and off the field.”

Up Next                                                                                                                

Butler will return to Hinkle Fieldhouse on Wednesday, Feb. 5 with a home game against Villanova. The 7 p.m. tip will be the first meeting between the two clubs this season.

TODAY IN BASEBALL HISTORY

1913    Olympic hero Jim Thorpe, turning down an offer from the last-place Browns, signs with the Giants, the defending NL champs. The Native American, who grew up in the Sac and Fox Nation in Oklahoma, will compile a lifetime .252 batting average during his six seasons in the major leagues, including stints with the Reds and Braves.

1914    In the first game ever in the Egyptian desert, the White Sox and Giants play to a 3-3 tie. The contest is part of a 56-game world tour, including stops in Tokyo, Paris, and London, organized by New York manager John McGraw and Chicago owner Charles Comiskey to promote baseball globally.

1954    In a six-player trade, the Braves deal a pair of southpaws, Johnny Antonelli and Don Liddle, catcher Ebba St. Claire, and shortstop Billy Klaus to the Giants for playoff hero Bobby Thomson and backstop Sammy Calderone. Milwaukee’s new outfielder will break his ankle in an exhibition game and appears in only 43 games, while Johnny Antonelli posts a 21-7 record, leading the league with an ERA of 2.30 for his new team in New York.

1957    At the American League meeting in New York, a three-member committee consisting of George Weiss, Hank Greenberg, and Joe Cronin submits a catastrophe plan, enabling a club affected by a transportation accident to field a high-caliber team. The proposal, prompted by the teams’ increased use of air travel, calls for the disabled club after a disaster to make selections from a talent pool created by each Junior Circuit team submitting ten names from its active 25-man roster.

1965    The National League adopts a disaster plan in case a team’s plane crashes or is involved in another catastrophic accident. The Senior Circuit’s Emergency Crisis Rule allows the affected club to draft from a pool of two or three replacement players from each team, following a similar concept adopted by the American League in 1962.

1970    The Special Veterans Committee selects Earle Combs, a lifetime .325 hitter during his 12 years with the Yankees, and Jesse Haines, a right-hander who posted a 210-158 (.571) record during his 18 years with the Cardinals, for induction into the Hall of Fame. The group also elects former commissioner Ford Frick, who campaigned for a Hall of Fame to honor baseball’s greatest baseball players when he became the National League president in 1934.

1973    Commissioner Bowie Kuhn announces the selection of Monte Irvin to the Hall of Fame by the Special Committee on the Negro Leagues. The outfielder, who hit .293 during his eight seasons in the major leagues, played a pivotal role in the Giants’ National League Championship in 1951, hitting .312 with 24 homers and a league-leading 121 RBIs.

1976    The East Lansing police arrest Mike Marshall for taking batting practice on the Michigan State University campus. MSU officials had asked the Dodger reliever not to hit baseballs near the tennis courts, fearing for the safety of the students.

1999    The Yankees trade highly-touted third base prospect Mike Lowell to the Marlins for minor league pitchers Eddie Yarnall, Todd Noel, and Mark Johnson. Scott Brosius’ outstanding 1998 performance made the former minor league player of the year expendable.

2002    Six-time All-Star Kenny Lofton (.261, 14, 66) agrees to a $1.25 million, one-year contract with the White Sox. The 34-year-old center fielder, who has played with the Indians, Braves, and Astros during his 11-year major league career, has a .302 lifetime batting average.

2005    Yogi Berra files a $10 million lawsuit with the New York Supreme Court against Turner Broadcaster System due to a ‘Sex and the City’ ad, which used the Hall of Famer’s name as a possible answer concerning the definition of yogasm. The choices included:

2006    At a luncheon at Safeco Field, Astros’ second baseman Craig Biggio becomes the 41st recipient of the Hutch Award. The prestigious award, named in honor of Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson, a major league pitcher and manager who died of cancer in 1964, is given annually to a Major League Baseball player who best exemplifies Hutch’s fighting spirit and competitive desire.

2008    In the richest contract ever given to a pitcher, southpaw Johan Santana agrees to a $137.5 million, six-year deal, completing the blockbuster trade between the Twins and the Mets. In exchange for the two-time Cy Young Award winner, Minnesota gets four of New York’s highly touted minor leaguers, including three top pitching prospects, Philip Humber, Kevin Mulvey, and Deolis Guerra, as well as fleet-footed outfielder Carlos Gomez.

2008    Avoiding arbitration, the Indians sign Casey Blake (.270, 18, 78) to a $6.1 million, one-year deal. The 34-year-old third baseman moved to Cleveland’s hot corner, replacing Andy Marte, who was injured and then sent back to the minors last season.

2010    The Hall of Fame announces that 58-year-old Jon Miller is the recipient of this year’s Ford C. Frick Award, an honor for baseball broadcasting excellence. The veteran broadcaster, starting his career with the A’s in 1974 and calling games for the Rangers, Red Sox, and Orioles, is the current voice of the Giants and has served as ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball play-by-play commentator along with color analyst Joe Morgan since the telecast’s debut in 1990.

2010    The Reds trade center fielder Willy Taveras and infielder Adam Rosales to the A’s for infielder Aaron Miles and a player to be named.

2021    Much to the chagrin of their fans, the Rockies officially announce the Nolan Arenado trade, sending the third baseman and cash consideration to the Cardinals for five players, including southpaw Austin Gomber and four minor league prospects. In April, Colorado will fire General Manager Jeff Bridich over being fleeced by St. Louis and his handling of the All-Star infielder, who is dissatisfied with the front office’s efforts to build a contender.

2024    In Tallahassee (FL), Mike Martin, the winningest coach in NCAA history, dies at the age of 79 after a three-battle with Lewy body dementia. “Eleven,” nicknamed for his jersey number, led the Seminoles to a 2,029-736-4 record with an NCAA tournament appearance in all 40 years as head coach, without winning the College World Series.
