Team USA is battered, but not broken

There are only four teams left in the Classic as the semifinals get ready to start Saturday night in Los Angeles with Venezuela playing Korea at 9 pm ET.
It’s time to foil up.
Yes, so the 1977 Paul Newman film Slap Shot remains the enduring image of hockey to many American sports fans. As far as they’re concerned, it’s either all about the fighting, or it’s a joke because of the fighting.
Championship Week has taken over campuses across the United States. Some teams need to perform extremely well at these conference tournaments to get invited to the Big Dance. Teams like Maryland, Providence, Oklahoma State and about half of the Big Ten are in danger of falling off the bubble.
Weather isn’t usually a factor in college hoops, but if you’re in one of the big East Coast markets like New York or Philadelphia, you know how challenging it is to get anything done in a snowstorm. Away teams should have at least a small early-week disadvantage traveling through the snow as the NCAA regular season draws to a close.

It’s almost March already. Time to brush up on your college hoops. The NCAA men’s basketball tournament is just three weeks away; brackets will soon be filled nationwide, as office poolies show off their skills and hope to make a buck or two in the process.
Two big Eastern Conference matchups highlight the NHL betting schedule Saturday, as the Penguins and Flyers clash in the latest meeting in the battle of Pennsylvania, and the slumping Rangers travel to Buffalo to face the Sabres.
The NBA trade deadline is the big story this week; some of the teams listed below could have a different look to them – but apparently not the Hornets. Tyson Chandler is going back to New Orleans after he failed his physical.
