Published in The Saudi Gazette on 01 - 01 - 2012

Sammy Zeglinski scored 20 points and Joe Harris added 18 Friday to help No. 23 Virginia survive a scare on its home court from winless Towson, 57-50.
Mike Scott, Virginia's leading scorer at 16.3 points per game, was held to 7 as the Cavaliers (12-1) won their 10th straight despite shooting only 34.8 percent (16 of 46) from the field.
A 3-pointer from the left corner by the freshman Malcolm Brogdon gave the Cavaliers some breathing room at 52-45 with 46 seconds to go.
Towson was led by the freshman Kris Walden's 15 points, while the sophomore Marcus Damas added 13. The Tigers fell to 0-13 and extended their overall losing streak to 32 games dating to last season.
“If you guard and continue to guard, guard, guard, you are going to put yourself in position to win games,” Towson Coach Pat Skerry said. “This is the first time we have done it for close to 40 minutes.”
Duke 110, W. Michigan 70: Seth Curry scored a season-high 22 points and Austin Rivers added 20, leading No. 7 Duke to a rout of visiting Western Michigan.
Quinn Cook had 16 points and Miles Plumlee had a career-high 15 rebounds for the Blue Devils (11-1), who won their fourth in a row. Matt Stainbrook had 18 points to lead the Broncos (5-8).
Missouri 75, Old Dominion 68: Marcus Denmon scored 17 of his 19 points after halftime and hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 61 seconds to play, leading No. 8 Missouri past host Old Dominion.
Kim English added 16 points for the Tigers (13-0). Kent Bazemore led Old Dominion (6-7) with 16 points and Trian Iliadis had 15.
Murray St. 73, E. Illinois 40: No. 20 Murray State hit a season-high 12 3-pointers in posting an easy win at Eastern Illinois. Stacy Wilson scored 16 points to lead the Racers (14-0, 2-0 Ohio Valley Conference). Jeremey Granger led Eastern Illinois (6-6, 0-1) with 12 points.
