3-on-3 Tournament GAME 4

ALLEN PLAYS BIG, COMES UP SHORT IN UNC WIN
Borrowing a page from his 1998 film "He Got Game", UConn's Ray Allen brought late-game heroics to his team's game against UNC with 8 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists, still falling short in a hard-fought 13-15 loss Tuesday. UNC's Rasheed Wallace had 8 points and 7 rebounds in the win. Rudy Gay dazzled the crowd with two dunks, but blamed poor team selection for the loss. "If we'd had the best team out there, we would'a had this. If [Richard Hamilton] or [Emeka Okafor] had been on this team, it would've been a different story. Whoever made these teams messed that [expletive] up. Wallace couldn't be stopped in the paint." Teammates Ray Allen and Ben Gorden could not be reached for comment after the game. UNC plays Wake Forest on Thursday in a familiar ACC match-up.

BUCKEYES FALL JUST SHORT, BLAME LOSS ON YOUTH
Greg Oden shook off the cobwebs of his lost rookie year to rack up 7 points and 8 rebounds, but the Arizona Wilcats held on for a hard-fought 15-12 victory Monday. Gilbert Arenas had 7 assists and 5 points in the winning effort. It was clear from the outset that OSU point guard Mike Conley Jr. was overmatched playing against Arenas. "He didn't look like his knee was bothering him at all. His first step was just as quick as it ever was," said teammate Richard Jefferson, who contributed 6 points in the win. Michael Redd, the oldest player on Ohio State, commented that lack of playing experience and youth played an important role in the loss. "[Conley] just couldn't keep up. I mean, the kid's good, but [Arenas] has just been doin' it longer. Can't blame him for that." The game was the closest in the tournament thus far, causing some to question the seeding criteria used. Arizona will face the winner of Wednesday's matchup between Kansas and Duke.

3-on-3 Tournament GAME 2

WAKE FOREST ADVANCES, SHOWS REASON FOR #1 OVERALL SEED
It was no surprise that Wake Forest advanced to the second round of Friday's 3-on-3 Tournament. What was a surprise was the fashion in which they advanced. Chris Paul owned the spotlight, showing why he is regarded as one of the top point guards in the game. The Deacs reached the required 15 points before their opponents hardly knew the game had started. The Deacs were spurred to a 15-4 victory on the back of Paul's 10 assists and Tim Duncan's 8 baskets. Georgetown's Allen Iverson had 3 of the team's 4 baskets, and said that the Bulldogs were simply overmatched. "We didn't play as good as we could, but Wake is the best team out here. Not much you can do with a complete team like that. We should'a practiced more. Practice." The Deacs face the winner of the Connecticut/North Carolina game to be played on Tuesday.
