| MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The Memphis Grizzlies had every reason to ease up in the regular season finale after pushing hard the past three months to reach the post-season. Instead, they kept grinding and grabbed the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference. Mike Conley hit two free throws with 1.1 seconds left in overtime, and the Memphis Grizzlies moved up from the eighth seed by edging the Dallas Mavericks 106-105 on Wednesday night. "Weve been holding on very tight for a long time ...," Memphis coach Dave Joerger said. "Getting 50 wins is something you want on your resume as a player, and people remember those. Those are special seasons. Its a standard, a golden standard I think." Memphis became the seventh team in the West with 50 wins this season with the victory. The Grizzlies, who set a franchise record with a 14th straight home win in a single season, will open the post-season Saturday night at Oklahoma City. They beat the Thunder in the semifinals last year with Russell Westbrook out. "Playing Grizzlies basketball going into the post-season was key, and we wanted to try to keep that momentum going," Grizzlies guard Tony Allen said. Monta Ellis missed a 17-footer before Conley drew the foul driving to the basket. Dallas had one last shot, but Ellis missed from the top of the key. "It felt good, but it didnt go down," Ellis said. "I think we did a great job. We competed. It went down to the wire, and they won." Conley was face guarding his player when he noticed Ellis got his shot off before the buzzer. "I was like, Howd he get that open?" Conley said. "When I saw it hit the rim, I was like Thank you, God. That would have been a tough one to lose." Avoiding No. 1 seed San Antonio in the first round was the only thing on the line, and Memphis has lost 14 of its last 16 against the Spurs with the Mavericks losing nine straight. Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said the Mavericks will be fine with starting in San Antonio on Sunday giving Dirk Nowitzki and Ellis time to rest. Nowitzki banged his right knee late in the first half and played the second half with a sleeve protecting his leg. "Tonight is a good indication of the fight we have in us, and were going to take that fight to San Antonio," Carlisle said. Nowitzki called this game a tough loss, but he also is positive about facing the Spurs. "Eventually we will win one," Nowitzki said. "Why would it not be Game 1 or Game 2? We are going to go out there and let it rip in Game 1." Ellis scored 14 of his 18 points after halftime, including seven in overtime. But Conley had five in the extra period, including the clinching free throws. He was 5 of 7 at the line, though the Grizzlies were 15 of 25 for the game. Zach Randolph led Memphis with 27 points and 14 rebounds, and Marc Gasol had 19 points, shooting 9 of 13. He also had nine rebounds and nine assists. Conley finished with 22, and Allen had 13. Courtney Lee added 11 despite shooting 3 of 10 from the floor. Nowitzki led the Mavericks with 30 points. Devin Harris and Brandan Wright each had 10. Harris also had 10 assists. The Grizzlies missed their chance to put away the win in regulation. Memphis was up 93-90 and had just gotten the ball back when Conley crashed into Harris for a charge, giving the ball back to Dallas with 20.3 seconds left in regulation. Ellis then hit a 3-pointer from 26 feet out on the right wing with 13 seconds left over Lee tying it up at 93, and the Grizzlies couldnt score to avoid overtime. In overtime, the Mavericks last led 105-102 on a 3-pointer from Nowitzki with 46 seconds remaining. Dallas didnt score again. Allen had a putback with 38 seconds to go, then Conley sealed the win. The Mavericks already took the season series winning the first three games by double digits. They were the last team to beat the Grizzlies in Memphis on Feb. 5, and owner Mark Cuban was at the end of the bench cheering them on. Notes: Mike Miller played all 82 games for the Grizzlies for only the second time in his career his rookie season with Orlando in 2000-01. He became only the 23rd player in NBA history to play a full season in his 14th season or later. ... Memphis won its fifth straight. ... Dallas snapped a six-game road winning streak.

You can, too, Clay Buchholz, if we ignore the sixth inning of Game 2. Doug Fister and Jake Peavy, youre up next in Game 4 and theres a lot to live up to.It’s a helluva bowl game, but one TCU has little interest playing in. The Horned Frogs let it be known earlier this month they thought they deserved to be one of the four teams in the inaugural College Football Playoff, and they did little to hide their displeasure. They aren’t wrong in feeling this way after a 55-3 rout of Iowa State in the final week of the regular season dropped them from third in the CFP rankings to sixth, a byproduct of a less enticing semifinal matchup from a tv ratings standpoint. TCU’s consolation is a Peach Bowl matchup with a very good Ole Miss team, and despite earlier jokes, the Horned Frogs will surely be ready to go come New Year’s Eve. As for the Rebels, there was a time this season they were looking like playoff contenders much more than the Frogs. After four less than impressive out of conference wins to open the year (which put them in line with just about every other big program in the nation) Ole Miss made waves by handing Alabama their only loss of the season and following that up with a big win over a Texas A&M team that hadn’t yet been exposed as the Top 25 fraud they turned out to be. It looked for a time this would be the season of Mississippi football, but back-to-back losses to LSU and Auburn all but expunged the Rebels’ playoff hopes. Mississippi will be heading into the Peach Bowl on a high note however, having beaten their in-state rivals the Mississippi State Bulldogs and ultimately knocking them out of the College Football Playoff. TCU is a fun offence to watch. They love to air it out and, led by Heisman candidate Trevone Boykin, had one of the best passing attacks in the NCAA. While they ranked fifth in offensive yards and seventh in passing, TCU scored more points than any team other than Baylor. The Horned Frogs scored more than 40 points in a game eight times this year and their 82 points against Texas Tech was one of the biggest outcomes of the year. Boykin found himself in the Top 10 in many passing categories as well but what made him one of the best QBs in the nation this year, second best if we’re to believe the Heisman voters, was his dual threat ability. Boykin’s 642 rushing yards and eight scores on the ground were amongst tthe best among quarterbacks that could throw as well.dddddddddddd Something has to give however because as good as TCU’s offence proved this season, Ole Miss’ defence was almost as good. The Rebels finished 13th in the nation giving up only 321 yards per game. They’re particularly good against the pass as well. TCU faced just one defence as good against the pass as Ole Miss this season – Texas – and beat them 48-10. While Boykin was held under 300 combined yards, he did create three combined touchdowns against the Longhorns. Ole Miss finished with a middle-of-the-pack offence this year, with more success coming through the air than on the ground. Senior quarterback Bo Wallace had a solid year and spent a couple weeks this year on different pundits’ Heisman Watches in the honourable mentions section. Boykin’s the star behind centre in this matchup, but Wallace could put up similar numbers if he has a strong finisher to his collegiate career. The Horned Frogs defence put up respectable numbers this year as well. While their defensive side of the ball doesn’t run over opponents like the offence (if it did TCU would be a helluva lot harder to keep out of the College Football Playoff) but ranked a decent 31st in the country. There’s a reason TCU probably belonged in the College Football Playoff, they’re a very good team; and the -3 line heading into the game seems a little low. This should be a great game but the Horned Frogs should only strengthen their argument they belonged in the Top 4 with a win over Ole Miss. Eye on Sunday CB Senquez Golson, FS Cody Prewitt, Ole Miss There’s still plenty of time for this to change, but as of right now there isn’t expected to be many first or maybe even second rounders playing in the Peach Bowl. Two members of the Ole Miss secondary, Golson and Prewitt, are probably the top NFL prospects in this game, and each has a chance to sneak into the second round. DT Chucky Hunter, TCU Lots of good college players on the Horned Frogs, but not many of their draft eligibles are considered desirable to NFL teams. Hunter is the top ranked prospect on TCU right now, but at this point shouldn’t expect to hear his name called until the middle rounds. ' ' ' |
