Rancho’s girls basketball team has made its mark with a patient offense and fantastic defense. In the fourth quarter Tuesday, Canyon Springs gave the Rams a painful dose of their own medicine.

Wherever he goes, Deonte Burton tends to draw a crowd of defenders. He also is attracting some not-so-secret admirers of another kind.
Three players for UTEP’s men’s basketball team bet on at least one sporting event, a university official said Tuesday, and they are no longer enrolled at the school.
The group of NBA players scheduled to play with Dennis Rodman against a team of North Koreans on Wednesday privately expressed second thoughts about going ahead because of an outpouring of criticism back home in the U.S.
Through three quarters, Sunrise Mountain’s girls basketball team was being dominated on the glass.
When I woke Monday, there were 381 messages in my email box. Too many. For 2014, I have resolved to keep it under 100. So, straight from my email box:
Centennial boys basketball coach Todd Allen wasn’t pleased with his team’s effort when the Bulldogs played Shadow Ridge on Dec. 17. He was more than happy with the way his squad played Friday.
It’s debatable who UNLV’s most valuable player is, but junior guard Bryce Dejean-Jones is definitely in the discussion.
Foothill guard Austin Starr doesn’t need a lot of room to get his shot off. So when the senior got a little bit of space Thursday, he made Desert Pines pay.
Bryce Dejean-Jones scored 24 points, and UNLV’s inside tandem of Khem Birch and Roscoe Smith proved to be too much for Fresno State as the Rebels opened Mountain West play with a 75-62 win over the Bulldogs in front of 5,968 at the Save Mart Center.
A year ago, the Mountain West was rated college basketball’s No. 3 conference. This time around, it’s not nearly as strong, and it can’t count on sending five teams to the NCAA Tournament again.
One possession doesn’t decide a basketball game. But Valley’s boys basketball team will certainly look back at one particular missed opportunity from Monday’s game against Garfield (Wash.).
The Cleveland Cavaliers suspended enigmatic center Andrew Bynum indefinitely on Saturday for “conduct detrimental to the team” and banned him from all team-related activities.
A majority of what Carlos Lopez-Sosa does to help UNLV win basketball games is not showing up on a stat sheet. The senior forward is getting fewer opportunities than he ever imagined.
Most girls basketball teams would be in trouble if their top player had only one point on one shot in the first half.
