Sports
The weekend got off to a good start when the Cavs snapped there 26 game losing streak by beating the Clippers in overtime. The Cavaliers played with a sense of urgency on Friday night, looking like they had finally decided now was the time to end the skid. However things did not look good last night as the Cavs allowed the Washington Wizards to snap a 25 game road losing skid, in convincing fashion 115-100. At one point the Wiz led by 25. After the game Cavaliers Head Coach Byron Scot said "Effort should not be a skill". It was a tough one on Saturday as well, as the #1 Ohio State Buckeyes fell to 14th ranked Wisconsin 71-67 handing the Buckeyes there first loss. Ohio State led by 15 47-32 at one point in the second half. From that Point on Wisconsin, who has now won 150 of there last 161 home games, outscored the Buckeyes 39-20, including a 15-0 run to tie the game. It will be interesting to see if the Buckeyes (24-1) will be jumped by #2 Kansas (22-1) in this weeks rankings, or if the Bucks will be given the benefit of the doubt for losing to a good Wisconsin team and playing in the best basketball conference this season. If they get the benefit of the doubt, they should remain the nations #1 team despite the loss, there is however no chance of them falling lower than 2.
