Welcome to National Hippo Day!


Bet you didn’t know that Hippo loosely translates to River Horse in ancient Greek. Hippo Day, then, celebrates the third largest mammal on Earth. Why not take some time to waddle in a mud bath, get angry with some tourists, and yawn a lot whilst opening your mouth really-really widely?

NCAA Tournament Bubble Watch: Syracuse, Michigan State on the fence (cbssports.com; Palm)

Teams are on the bubble for a variety of reasons. Some teams have pretty good records, but haven't beaten anyone. Some teams look like world beaters one day and get beaten down the next. Some teams can only win in the friendly confines of the home gym, but when they hit the road, the road hits back.

The following teams have all beaten quality opponents, and in some cases, both at home and away.

Michigan
  • 16-9 OVERALL | 6-6 BIG TEN (7TH)
  • RPI: 58
  • Top 50 RPI wins: Neutral vs. SMU (18), at Michigan State (42)

Georgia Tech Basketball Visits Miami (ramblinwreck.com)

Georgia Tech continues the back half of its Atlantic Coast Conference schedule Wednesday night when it visits Miami for an 8 p.m. regionally-televised game at the Watsco Center in Coral Gables, Fla.

Complete Game Notes | Where to watch | Watch online on ACC Network Extra

Tech (15-10, 6-6 ACC), which has defied pre-season projections in its first season under head coach Josh Pastner, resumed its ACC schedule Saturday with a 65-54 win over Boston College at home. The Yellow Jackets, 2-7 on the road this season, including a win at NC State on Jan. 15, enter this week’s games tied for eighth place in the ACC standings with the Hurricanes and Virginia Tech.
Miami (16-8, 6-6 ACC) has has won four of its last six games to climb back toward the middle of the ACC standings, but dropped a 71-66 decision Saturday at No. 4 Louisville. The Hurricanes are 11-2 at home this season, including losses to Notre Dame and Florida State.

Wednesday’s game will be regionally televised on the ACC Network (Peachtree TV in Atlanta) and will be streamed live online on the ACC Network Extra. Radio coverage is provided by Tech’s flagship station, 680 the Fan (680 AM/93.7 FM), and is available via satellite radio (Sirius ch. 135, XM ch. 382).

THE STARTING LINEUP

• Georgia Tech is at .500 after 12 games in the ACC (6-6) for the first time since the 2009-10 season. A win against Miami would put the Yellow Jackets above .500 after 13 games in the ACC for the first time since the 2000-01 season (also 7-6).

• Tech ranks No. 1 in the ACC in field goal percentage defense (39.9 pct.) vs. ACC teams, and ranks third in scoring defense (68.8 ppg). Nationally, Tech ranks 17th in field goal percentage defense and 57th in scoring defense against all opponents.

• Ben Lammers’ +11.1 per game scoring average increase over the 2015-16 season is the best in the ACC, No. 7 nationally. But Tadric Jackson (+6.5) and Quinton Stephens (+5.2) and also have posted significant increases over last season. Josh Heath (+2.9) has more than doubled his 2015-16 average.

CNY weather Wednesday: Morning snow squalls, afternoon lake effect snow (PS; Coin)

The latest forecast shows some snow squalls moving into Central New York Wednesday morning, and lake effect snow arriving earlier than originally expected in the afternoon. The lake effect snow watch issued earlier today has been extended to include Wednesday afternoon.

Here's what to expect:


Wednesday morning: A cold front will bring a line of snow squalls to Central New York between 5 and 7 a.m. They could affect the morning commute from Elmira to Syracuse and Utica.

"These squalls could bring a quick 1-2 inches and be quite disruptive to the morning commute," the National Weather Service said.

Wednesday afternoon: Lake effect snow will start blowing in off Lake Ontario, reaching as far inland as Chenango and Otsego counties. The biggest amounts will likely be in the hills of southern Onondaga and southern Madison counties. Syracuse could see 8 inches or more before the snow winds down Thursday night.
