Big Ten

Trimble scores 20, leads Maryland past Illinois, 84-59

December 27, 2016 by CEDRIC HANCOCK Leave a Comment

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Melo Trimble scored 20 points and led Maryland four players in double-digit scoring, and the Terrapins rolled past Illinois 84-59 on Tuesday.

The game was the Big Ten opener for both sides.

TRIMBLE LEADS THE WAY

Trimble, who is averaging 17.9 points per game, shot 7 of 10 from the floor on his way to scoring 20 or more points for the third successive game.

Jaylen Brantley added 13 points and five assists off the bench, while Anthony Cowan finished with 12 points, six assists and three steals for the Terrapins (13-1), who were winning six straight games since losing 73-59 against Pittsburgh on Nov 29.

Justin Jackson supported with 12 points for Maryland, which shot 33 of 59 from the floor for 55.9 percent.

Malcolm Hill led Illinois with 21 points on 6 for 10 shooting to go along with seven rebounds as the Fighting Illini suffered their fifth consecutive road loss, which dated back to last season.

Mike Thorne Jr. was the only other player scoring in double-digit in the defeat for Illinois (10-4) which had their six-game winning streak snapped.

MARYLAND PLAYED MUCH BETTER

“Hats off to Maryland they did terrific and beat us in every aspect of the game today,” said Illinois head coach John Groce.

“I was disappointed in that because we have been playing great over the last month.

“We had really practiced well over the break and had put in a lot of work over the last three days which I was proud of. But today we just fell apart, combined with Maryland playing really well,” Groce added.

Junior forward/center Michal Cekovsky, who is averaging 10 points per game and senior postman Damonte Dodd both missed the game for Maryland.

Cekovsky sat out the game to rest his left ankle injury, while Dodd was unavailable again for his fifth consecutive game due to a sprained left knee ligament.

Meanwhile, Illinois, which was losing its Big Ten opener for the fourth time in five years, shot 21 for 59 for only 35.6 percent, while going 4 for 22 from long-range for a mere 18.2 percent.

UP NEXT

Maryland will stay at home on Sunday to host Nebraska in its next game.

Illinois will next face Ohio State on Sunday in the Buckeyes’ Big Ten conference opener.

Big Ten College Football Schedule, TV Channels: Nov. 26

November 25, 2016 by KOBY FRANZ | Staff Writer Leave a Comment

COLUMBUS, OH, Sporting Alert – The college football Big Ten schedule for Week 13 on Saturday, November 26.

Must Watch Game In Week 13

As expected, the focus this weekend in the conference will come from Ohio Stadium in Columbus, where No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Michigan go head-to-head in a Big Ten East division rivalry showdown.

With Penn State breathing down their necks in third place, both the Buckeyes (10-1, 7-1 Big Ten) and the Wolverines (10-1, 7-1 Big Ten) know that any slip up this weekend could end their chance of making the College Football Playoff.

A win for Michigan would see them wrap up the Big Ten East and move on to play in the conference title game, while a win for Ohio State would more than likely secure Urban Meyers’ team’s place in the CFP.

At the same time, a victory for Ohio State and Penn State, which will take on Michigan State in another game, would see the Nittany Lions advancing to the conference title game on head-to-head meetings.

A Big Ten championship game without either Michigan or Ohio State would give the selection committee a lot of headaches.

Penn State (9-2, 7-1 Big Ten), which handed the Buckeyes their only defeat this season has been making a case for a College Football Playoff semi-final spot since beating Meyer’s men.

Penn State Ready For A Push

This weekend, the No. 7 Nittany Lions will host the Spartans (3-8, 1-7 Big Ten) at Beaver Stadium in University Park, PA, searching for their eighth successive win.

According to ESPN’s Football Power Index, Penn State has an 84 percent chance to beat Michigan State on Saturday and end a three-game losing streak in the series.

Like the Ohio State and Michigan battle, this game will also draw lots of interest in the Big Ten, with Michigan State looking to be playoff spoiler again and the Nittany Lions hoping to stay in the race to play for a national championship.

“I think we’ve had chances throughout every football game we’ve played this year,” said Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio.

“We’ve been ahead, and then something’s happened. That’s the game. We gotta be able to make plays at the end of a football game, this one’s no different.”

Wisconsin and Nebraska have identical records, but the Badgers hold the advantage in the head-to-head meeting after beating the Cornhuskers, 23-17 on Oct 29.

In other games in the Big Ten this weekend, Purdue will be at Indiana, Illinois travels to Northwestern, while

October 19, 2013 by KOBY FRANZ | Staff Writer Leave a Comment

(Sporting Alert) — The following are the list of games and respective TV channels and live streaming channels for Week 8 on the NCAAF – College Football – schedule on Saturday.

Highlighted game on the list is the clash between No. 3 Clemson (6-0, 4-0 ACC) and the rising No. 5 Florida State (5-0, 3-0 ACC) at Memorial Stadium, in South Carolina. This game will be broadcast live on ABC, starting at 8:00 PM ET.

Both teams are defeated so far this season, with Clemson coming off a 24-14 win over Boston College and a well rested Seminoles returns to action for the first time since their thumping 63-0 win over Maryland on Oct. 5.

Untouched No. 1 Alabama (6-0, 3-0 SEC) will face fellow Southeastern Conference rivals Arkansas (3-4, 0-3 SEC) at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

The Crimson Tide have been putting up big numbers in their previous games, including scoring 45 or more points in the last two games, but head coach Nick Saban believes his team can still improve in certain areas.

Victory against Kentucky was easy last Saturday, especially when you look at the 48-7 final score.

However, Saban still see room to improve.

“I don’t think that we’ve played our best game by any stretch of the imagination,” he said. “I think there’s a lot of things that we can improve on.”

Arkansas, after winning its opening three games of the season, is now on a four game losing streaking and entertain Saturday’s contest wanting to quickly forget about the 52-7 loss to No. 11 South Carolina last Saturday.

Still, Saban his players not to get caught up in that score and warned that the Razorbacks could turn out to be their toughest test thus far.

“This is certainly going to be our biggest test in terms of the some of the challenges they present to us,” Saban said of the fixture.

The defeat last week saw Arkansas matching its longest losing streak under head coach Bret Bielema and he wants his players to keep on fighting to end this bad streak.

In fact, he’s called on everyone to step up.

“When adversity strikes, you don’t try and fight it alone,” Bielema said. “You fight it together, and I think that’s the part that we’ve got to rally around.”

He added: “Everybody’s got to step up a little bit better, starting with me as a head coach and all our assistants. That’s the No. 1 thing plaguing our program right now.”

No. 2 Oregon (6-0, 3-0 Pac-12), staying on the heals of Alabama and waiting for a slip up, will entertain Washington State (4-3, 2-2 Pac-12), a week after hammering the then-No. 16 Washington Huskies 45-24 on the road.

Elsewhere, on Saturday, No. 4 Ohio State (6-0, 2-0 Big Ten) return against Iowa (4-2, 1-1 Big Ten) at Ohio Stadium. The Buckeyes last played on Oct. 5 where they battle to a 40-30 victory over Northwestern.

In more action No. 6 LSU are at Ole Miss, No. 9 UCLA travel to face the No. 13 Stanford, who will be looking to rebound from 27-21 shocking defeat to Utah last week, No. 7 Texas A&M is expected to face a very strong and determined No. 24 Auburn, while No. 11 South Carolina are at Tennessee, searching for more positive results.
