BYU 99-92 victory over Florida in the first round of the West Region.
Jimmer Fredette drilled a pair of huge three-pointers in the second overtime period and finished with 37 points, as BYU ended an eight-game NCAA Tournament losing streak with a 99-92 victory over Florida in the first round of the West Region.
Michael Loyd Jr. chipped in a career-high 26 points for BYU (30-5), which last won an NCAA tourney game in 1993 as a seventh seed in the first round against SMU. The Cougars, seeded seventh again this year, will next play the winner between Kansas State and North Texas in the second round on Saturday.
Lloyd drilled a three-pointer to start the second extra session, and a steal at the other end led to one free throw by Fredette, who had made 37 in a row before a miss. Another Fredette free throw moments later kept BYU’s lead at three and Lloyd hit 1-of-2 with just over three minutes left to give the Cougars an 87-83 edge.

Fredette followed a Florida turnover with a three-pointer, but Erving Walker countered with a shot from beyond the arc for the Gators to again make it a four-point game. The Gators could not come up with a rebound at the defensive end and the extended possession led to another Fredette three-pointer for a 93-86 lead with 1:22 to play. Read full story here
After a full three days of interviews, including two full days focused on Pete Carroll’s football program, the NCAA has wrapped up it’s investigation of the USC athletic program. And while an investigation of this duration is virtually unheard of, the worst news for the Trojans football program appears to be coming from leaked reports popping up over the last several hours.
USC may very well pay the price for the trend, as the NCAA will in all likelihood look to set an example of the Trojans, leveling some rather harsh penalties and probation. It isn’t as if we didn’t see it coming; Pete Carroll jumping ship the way he did pretty well tipped us all off.
One official directly connected to the investigation was directly quoted as saying that the only matter for discussion at this point is the severity of the sanctions. It is all but assured that the Trojans will lose a significant number of scholarships and bowl eligibility for as many as two years, and will not be appearing on television.

Stories and photos are coming out, such as the one above showing Lane Kiffin out drinking with Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, and Kiffin’s brother-in-law David Reaves at a local Knoxville bar, where witnesses say Kiffin was getting cozy with the ladies.
ARCHIVE – 13-year-old Evan Berry has already decided where he wants to play big-time college football.
Berry, the younger brother of current Tennessee safety Eric Berry, told Yahoo! Sports that he plans to follow in his brother’s footsteps and play for the Volunteers after he graduates from Creekside High School in Georgia.
Berry has verbally committed to the Vols, which, of course, is non-binding. “It’s the only college I know right now and it seems best for me,” he told Rivals.com.
Berry said he wants to play in the secondary for Tennessee and he wants to play for coach Kiffin — Monte Kiffin, Lane’s dad and the Vols’ defensive coordinator, who is 69 years old and has a three-year contract.
If he indeed signs with the Vols, Berry will be a member of Tennessee’s Class of 2013, when the elder Kiffin is 73 years old.
“Yes, I committed to Tennessee,” Evan said. “It’s the only college I know right now, and it seems the best for me. My dad went there and my brother is there now. I know I can do the same things there. I have a real friendly relationship with the coaches there. I know I don’t know them too well, but I know I will have plenty of time to get to know them.” Read full story here

David Sills Biography
David Sills, 13, may just look like an ordinary kid until you see the Delaware native throw a football, then you quickly find out he is anything from ordinary.
♦ David Sills’ favorite quarterbacks are Peyton Manning and Drew Brees.
Stories and photos are coming out, such as the one above showing Lane Kiffin out drinking with Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, and Kiffin’s brother-in-law David Reaves at a local Knoxville bar, where witnesses say Kiffin was getting cozy with the ladies.

The commitment, which was first reported by ESPN’s Shelley Smith, has happened in college basketball previously, but is unprecedented for college football where it’s harder to project how a player as young as Sills will develop physically. Clarkson says that won’t be a problem.
“He’s already six feet as a 13-year old,” Clarkson said. “And he’s breaking down NFL footage.”
Clarkson said the scholarship offer emerged after he called Kiffin to discuss a quarterback recruit for next year’s class.
Clarkson said Kiffin asked him his opinion of the recruit and Clarkson said, “You might call me crazy, but you’ve known me a long time, right? And when I said if there was going to be a LeBron James of football it’d be Jimmy Clausen that turned out to be a pretty good prediction.
“And when I said Matt Barkley had the potential to be as good as Jimmy, he ended up winning Gatorade Player of the Year as a junior and starting at USC as a freshman, right?
“Well, I’ve got a kid now who is better than all of them and he’s in Delaware. You gotta take a look at him.”
Clarkson then directed Kiffin to a video of Sills that is making the rounds on YouTube.
“I’m as shocked as anybody,” Sills’ father said. “I was just talking with friends yesterday about what it’ll be like four years from now when David goes through the recruiting process. I never expected this to happen so soon.”
Kiffin watched it and called him back immediately.
“He was like, ‘This kid is incredible. How old is he again?’
“I was like, ‘That’s the problem, he’s 13.’ “ Read full story here

Kiffin was the Trojans’ OC when USC lost to UCLA in 2006, and lost their bid to a BCS Championship game as well. Since then, USC has never been the same, losing games to Stanford, Oregon, and Oregon State before finally dropping four conference games last year.

Oregon added to its impressive class with the surprise signing of defensive tackle Ricky Heimuli.
The No. 88 overall prospect of Rivals.com was down to four finalists – the Ducks, Washington, UCLA and Utah.
The product from Brighton in Salt Lake City visited the Huskies and the Bruins on the final weekends before signing day, but instead picked a different Pac-10 school.
Highlights: Lache Seastrunk ended his long running and highly publicized recruitment on Wednesday by announcing his intentions to sign with Chip Kelly and the Oregon Ducks on signing day.
Jehmu Greene, president of Women’s Media Center, asked CBS on Monday not to air the commercial, saying, “An ad that uses sports to divide rather than to unite has no place in the biggest national sporting event of the year.”
