(AP) — Twelve turned out to be a lucky number for the Pac-12 Conference. Go figure. A year after sending only two teams to the NCAA tournament, the league doubled its win total from last March in two games— on one day at one site: Oregon and California, both No. 12 seeds, scored upsets in San Jose. Even sixth-seeded Arizona added to the ...

The coach who guided little Butler to the national championship game two years in a row wonders why everyone seems to be saying all at once: Hey, there's some pretty good teams beyond the glamour conferences. Stevens remembers his first basketball job, as Butler'...

The No. 1 seeds are set for the NCAA tournament, but very little has gone as expected in this college basketball season. No reason for things to change now. Louisville received the top overall seed Sunday after romping through the Big East tournament, while Kansas, Indiana and Gonzaga claimed the other No. 1 spots. Ye...

Now, they enter the NCAA tournament as the overall No 1 seed. A familiar position for this squad, which was ranked No. 2 to start the season and was the preseason favorite to win the Big East. L...

(AP) — Phil Forte stepped to the foul line and Marcus Smart couldn't bear to watch, so with 2.9 seconds left on the clock in a tie game, Oklahoma State's star freshman turned around. Lined up along the lane, Smart simply turned around. He only knew that Forte's foul shot had been made by the roar of the crowd. Forte added the second of hi...

Smart, Oklahoma State's impressive guard and a top NBA prospect, was selected Monday as The Associated Press Big 12 Player of the Year and the top freshman as well. Smart was a unanimous All-Big 12 pick, along with a pair of Kansas teammates — freshman guard Ben McLem...

(AP) — Coach Travis Ford can't be certain whether NBA prospect Marcus Smart has played his last home game at Oklahoma State. If he did, he went out with one of his typical beyond-the-box-score plays, changing the game and the Big 12 championship picture. Smart scored 21 points, but perhaps none of his plays were as big as the charging fo...

(AP) — Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford can't remember ever being more down on his team than after a loss in the Bedlam rivalry game last month. He's got every reason to feel great about the 17th-ranked Cowboys now. Marcus Smart scored 28 points, Le'Bryan Nash added a season-high 26 and Oklahoma State beat Oklahoma 84-79 in overtime Satu...

(AP) — Markel Brown let out a roar. Marcus Smart did a cart-wheel and a back flip. Travis Ford exhaled for the first time all game. After establishing a big first-half lead, Oklahoma State watched it all melt away Saturday. But in one of the rare instances of a team refusing to lose at intimidating Allen Fieldhouse, Brown and Smart managed ...
