steve: boykins can cut it to one.e led in this game just before half they came from 12 down to take a one point lead. oh, my goodness. boykins misses the second and the lead remains 2 for new jersey trying to win their fifth game of the year. a record of four wins and 40 losses. williams knocked up into the air. humphreys and he's called for traveling. an offensive foul. it is an offensive foul. phil: he had the man up in the air but decided to put that left elbow. let's see if we can pick that up. a strong rebound there. twice. steve: twice. phil: yeah you're right. steve: pat fraher making the call. antwan jamison is pack in the game for the wizards so it's jamison boykins, oberto, butler and nick young back in. nick had 8 points off the bench in that first half. boykins jumper good. phil: moves into that shot very nice. i like the way he's playing. he knows he has to get a good lift. steve: he is 6 of 10 from the field has 13 points off the bench and three rebounds and the wizards have tied it at 63. five second di

a couple dribbles right here, has jamal boykin on his back. boykin going to overcommit.e job with a step through the great foot work on the part of derrick williams who is not like he usually does. he is a high iq basketball player, darin. he has to figure out where the shots and the scoring opportunities are for him. >> darrin: teams like when max zhang came into this game, williams got neutralized a little bit. they'll go with nikol kyryl nat. >> darrin: seeley now out to christopher. he wants it from out there. doesn't get the roll. wise will dig out the rebound. >> marques: that's a shot you can get at any point during the possession. better to work the ball around. try to get something from the 15 to 17-foot range. >> darri >> darrin: horne loses control. they'll say it's off of cal. >> marques: ten seconds on the shot clock. one thing we heard from sean miller was who are you making better? what are you doing out there on the floor to make other players better? >> darrin: nic wise baseline, the floater, just a little shy. >> marques: had more time, seven seconds on

fourth foul on jerome. >> marques: jamal boykin has four points today.s another guy that averages double figures for this cal team. you look to depend on to give you double figures scoring night in and night out. >> steve: cal with 42 free throws. washington has 23. they've made 19. d.j. seeley banks it in. pondexter tied up. >> marques: good job not forcing up shots. taking some time off the clock. almost in trouble. pondexter bailed him out. >> steve: gant tried to finish. suggs pounds it. chance for a three. >> marques: that offensive rebounding that mike montgomery was so concerned about. pondexter with an impressive drive to the basket. forces the help by jamal boykin. nobody left the block off darnell gant, keeps it alive. scott suggs reaps the benefit. >> steve: scott suggs, a young man out of washington, missouri. but when lorenzo romar was a coach at st. louis, scott met him at the age of 11 at a family function and said, coach, i want to play for you. well, romar kept his eye on him, watched him grow up in missouri, and did recruit him. now he'

aim jaim son, boykins, haywood and -- jamison, boykins haywood and randy foye.oints and 18 rebounds, derrick rose has 33 points. wizards can use the rest of the clock in the overtime period. tied at 112. foye, open to the jumper, a little short, rebound, taken down and a time-out with 5/10 of a second to play in the overtime. >> phil: boy, nothing wrong with that. you know what? the more i see of randy foye, the more i understand that's going to his right, squaring the right foot around, pivoting the left foot and squaring up and that was a shot we've seen over and over again that. time it was a little short. and you can tell it was a little short from the minute it left his hands. >> steve: yeah. almost like it was tentative. >> phil: watch him plant the left. square up with the right. and just a little short. he ran the clock down. they may end up putting a little more time on the clock. >> steve: they're going to look at it. and again this is something they can do with replay. they do. they put 9/10 of a second. so four or tenths of a second. and as we've see

boykin with the rebound as he cleans it up. >> marques: a fifth year senior with boykin.ing the young freshman, derrick williams. >> darrin: wise couldn't finish. it goes off his hand -- no. they're going to say it went off of cal. so the wildcats will retain possession. >> marques: the one thing i like about derrick williams, high basketball iq. he'll figure things out. >> darrin: i love his patience. it's interesting. it's rare you see a freshman that has that kind of patience. >> marques: if you have the confidence in the foot work, you know you have to counter move for anything the defense did. you're not interested, not in a hurry, not panicy. >> darrin: it gets stuck in the rim. that will be cal's ball. >> marques: back in the day we called that the ultimate brick. that shot is so off and so short, so much lack of rotation, the ultimate brick shot by kyle fogg. >> darrin: that's actually a possession error situation. because cal won the opening tip, the ball will stay on this side of the floor. it also means that cal, unless we have another situation with possession

but boykin, you is see her athleticism.o be a great player in this league. >> reversal there. bonae holston now with three fouls for nc state. >> pressure in there, man to man. they'll keep the pressure there. they have to watch the back door. wake forest has had a lot of success. >> wake tries the long back-door pass over the top. on the other side. that shot a little off the mark. nc state had that one defended a bit better. >> if you're coach petersen, you don't mind that. you're going to the boards hard. you understand in the first half, you're nowhere close of having the advantage. you have to show a lot of effort to try to close the gap there with nc state. >> the foul watch, morris now has three as well as for wake forest, again, the shot off the mark for nc state. good hustle. kastanek tries to get it back to midcourt. but thomas takes care of the basketball. one of the keys you talked about in this game, her assist/turnover ratio seems directly correlated to wake forest's. >> the entire first half, that wouldn't be

great hustle there by boykin.that we talked about for wake forest you can expect to have an impact. >> that was a good look at her on the defensive end but she can score it as well. she 12 points against duke and virginia tech. we know what the defense of the duke blue devils is like. >> forced turnover for the wolfpack. >> out of that time-out, coach petersen made a change, started trapping on the wings. took nc state out of what they wanted to do in their half-court. wake forest runs a motion offense. they also set some screens on the perimeter. good defense, nc state, on that possession. >> see if the wolfpack can turn in some points on the other end. they find the senior, ellison, 13-10, nc state, as ellison gets her fourth point. >> wake forest went double. ellison with a nice dive to the basket, she realized that her defense was gone and that was good pass and good recognition. >> the three ball goes down for roulhac. her first points of the ball game. bringing this one even. >> wasn't shooting very often, w

. >> mike: tapped out to boykin who just came into the game, a freshman from raleigh. of the freshmen from wake forest roster will see significant minutes. very young team. thomas is only a sophomore. there is boykin to the rim. >> debbie: there is that play a lot of teams run in the ac. you always get an open look outside the arc. you have to be able to knock it down. >> mike: 15:56 to play first half. cavs up 6- early. hostd swg to allyyou mor insu the n inire? ♪weet knoat m fron, whe co r, t. ♪ ♪r tiocki st: switto g 15% e onnsur st: "too jon ll? ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ man the ♪ [ ma lf torie f all hamm ] gonnt liutte f and like. ♪ f floa a bly. stke a nnat l buty d sike ♪ inga... 7 ting a [ wohalfalor the wom] i kat's. >> mike: it's all wake forest of lake. virginia started out shooting 3 of 4 but haven't hit a shot since. as you see, no field goals in the last 4 1/2 minutes. wake forest hasn't been light it up. 3 for 10. 0 for 3 from behind the arc here early. and there is sandra garcia who has had some big games. she had a career high 27 against high point. hasn't been scoring

boykin came up the court with the pressure. almost got one. >> so nc state, down by three. 30 seconds on the game clock and 26 seconds on the shot clock. what do you see the wolfpack bring out of this time-out? >> i think you go for the easy bucket here. because wake forest is not a good free-throw shooting team. you get the easy score and i think you start fouling. put the ball in the hands of gartrell. as soon as wake forest attempts to inbounds it, i think you start fouling. >> now, nc state has been very good from three in acc contests. shooting about 41%. that was coming into this game. in this game, they're 3 of 17. your advice, go for the bucket, put wake forest on the line where they're shooting just 7 of 16 for the contest. >> whoever's on gartrell, it doesn't matter. she has to look to go to the hole because i'm sure this play is going to come to her. >> gartrell. s that ball now. she pops the shot. that one's off the mark. ellison almost has the rebound. which way is it going to go? >> now, this is a different scenar

here is boykin. roulhac for three! tiffany roulhac, her seventh three-pointer of the season. roulhac who was out with an injury most of last year. tore her acl. kellum is open. and garcia another rebound. garcia looks to be headed to a double-double today. deacon lead is ten. we approach 30 seconds left in the half. >> debbie: great steal. >> mike: garcia can't hit it. got caught underneath the bucket. wright at the elbow! monica wright. >> debbie: we've seen monica wright score her points. not in a conventional way offensively. i say that because usually all their stuff is run through her, but wake forest has taken her away. monica wright has scored on an out of bounds play and scored in transition and scored on offensive rebounding, so she is finding a way to find some offense. >> mike: at the buzzer at the half, wright came up with a steal. not able to hit it, but monica wright, the leading scorer in the game, with 11 points. but she needs the rest of her cavaliers to step up because they trail 29-21 here at the break. sandra garcia has led wake forest with eight points an

earl boykin has it. drives takes it baseline and works it over to caron butler. butler circus shot, puts it up and in. wizards take their first lead of the game. then former wizards roger mason jr. responds, hits a wide-open three-pointer. mason added 20 points. third quarter washington down four, blach comes up with a block. but the spurs pull away down the stretch. tim duncan with the ball, heavily defended here takes a few dribbles, turns around and hints the fadeaway jumper fouled, duncan had 23 points. wizards loss. after the game arenas not sounding worried about the off court distractions. >> my main concern is only on the basketball court right now. we're not performing the way we should. you know, we played a greatame tonight and i felt we played great defense. if we play like this like we did tonight we'll beat a lot of teams out there. san antonio is a great team. they hit shots during the game and after the game. other than that, i won't let the outside affect what i do on the court. >> up worried about what the league might do or the team might do? >

now you have early boykins who is a great addition. he got guys easy baskets.he pushed the tempo, he was able to get into the paint and suck in the defense. brendon haywood is 50/50 tonight. we're not sure if he's going to play. he gives them the inside presence they desperately need. any time you play against shaquille o'neal and guys that can score on the blocks, step out and knock down shots, that's an area of concern, how they're going to react defensively. is andray blatche going to step up. is germane going to play? can alberto stay on the floor? some scoring but a defensive presence. >> the wizards were without gilbert arenas for two seasons. tonight they take on the eastern conference. it's the wiz and calf leaves at the top of the hour. likely will be a lot of games without gilbert arenas. >>> coming up: the new redskins brain trust be able to turn the franchise around? the guy who knows mike shanahan pretty well has strong opinions. i'll talk to bill romanowski when we come back on sportsnite. those boys are much too much! we got the spirit, we're hot

with earle boykins on. stolen by foye. randy up ahead of the pack. alley-oop for blatche. couldn't get it. failing on a transition opportunity. opportunity. >> phil: >> phil: he had to reach back for it and then again trying to dunk it they had to bring that thing all the way across off the offensive player. >> steve: big play with washington with a chance to cut it back to seven but can't convert in transition. butler picked up another personal. into the corner crawford. smith and a loose ball foul will be called on washington. it is on blatche. that's number 5 on andray blatche. told you atlanta. the celtics to get anything off the glass. >> phil: keep in mind you're talking about guys that are very quick on their feet. very difficult to box out. they are quick in reacting to the ball. change of direction. you've got horford in there. capable of that. smith. and now joe johnson playing the three. so you've got some very capable rebounders that are very quick and solid inside. >> steve: smith finally misses one. this is atlanta's first of five straight home games. they wi

boykin trying to stretch it out and gourd don't springs it live. capitals offense surging right now. the highest scoring team in the nhl rallying back. as brian ponthier sweeps it along the base where hedman will roam. shuffled and there's bayou on the hop and they stay on sides. bayou and in a point position he shuffles it in the corner. bayou attacked by sloan on the overlap with mattias ohlund. steckel for bradley who took his eyes off of it perhaps or else he had a few one-on-ones. craig: he was looking at what to do with the puck rather than gathering. joe: we drift low with awhile one in tampa. it is now 4-4. vince lecavalier all time leader and so many other categories. offers it and the lightning are in offer side. mike green withof s. washingt and tampa are tied. >> you don't have to shoot the puck to in atlanta off of his skates and this one off of his right leg antero nittymaki surprised. great presence and the whole package the caps expected when they signed him as a free agent. joe: after producing the one tally, mike knuble is hot. he

earle boykins is in for washington. short jumper is good by jamal crawford. hawks got from golden state. splitting time last year with the knicks. 54 games at golden state. >> steve: what a pickup he has been for mike richards. >> steve: rejected by jamison. antawn jamison. fouled. looks like it is going to be on jason collins. his first personal sending antawn jamison to the line. >> phil: josh the imt guhe i t it't shere it switd yo oneho the imt guhe i workntir. >> steve: one of the things you have to guard with this atlanta team is letting them get into the paint. they have already scored 12 points in the paint tonight. they are very aggressive in the paint. >> phil: nice back door play once the defense rotated around and they make some good passes. williams getting two more of those points in the paint. he is 3-6 with eight points to go along with four rebounds and is off to a good start. >> steve: three seasons ago he missed the first 17 games after fracturing his left hand in practice in october. averaging 10.5 points a game and about five rebounds. ha

winnett general boykin was big in uniform and say my god is better than your god. that doesn't help. a little more disciplined when it comes to those sorts of things are appropriate. i believe as far as what governmental leaders themselves can do, that president obama's type of speech, my personal view was an outstanding speech. it got right to most of the messages that needed to be heard. from the leader of the free world and the leader of the united states. that part of what he has been trying to do gets back to one of clark's comments, has been very good, very appropriate. >> let's turn to prescriptions. i've laid my now twice now. once per year. every january 13, i asked for a counterterrorism strategy from the administration. clearly my poll with the administration isn't what it should be. [laughter] >> but let's go down the line. what should the administration be doing to set the stage for better in the future? >> that's a terrific question. it merits a lengthy answer that we don't have a lot of time, and i will try to be briefed. just two or three quick poin

jamal boykin. boykin does a great job bodying up, bodying up, maintaining position. derrick williams is forced into aly left-handed shot. he thought he would pick up a foul. a lot of contact allowed in this basketball game which is a good game. >> derrin: two-point game. would be rert son off the glass. he'll get the whistle. i think that's going to be it for solomon hill who picks up his fifth foul. one of the things that sean miller doesn't have is a lot of height. that's it for solomon hill. >> marques: he's going to be a terrific player in due time. early success here in tucson, struggled consistently in the pac 10 seep son. great body, great feel for the game. terrific passer. >> derrin: a battle between the two top teams in the back 10. first place call, second place arizona here at the mckale center. you see -- cal has an rpi of 21. arizona's rpi finally up to about 53. but again, the winner of this one in first place in the pac 10. robertson is approaching his career high of 24. he got earlier this year against ucla. >> marques: talk about a tremendous teamma
