Today Big Ten Tournament – United Center, Chicago IL – Round 2 Rutgers vs. (5) Purdue, 12:00 p.m. Ohio State vs. Michigan State, 2:30 p.m.    Superhits 103.7 Cosy-FM 1:30 Penn State vs. Northwestern, 6:30 p.m. Maryland vs. (19) Indiana, 9:00 p.m. NBA – National Basketball Association Last Night Charlotte Hornets 113, Detroit Pistons 103 Indiana Pacers 134, Houston Rockets 125 – OT Hornets 113, Pistons 103 – Oubre, Rozier help Hornets deal Pistons 10th straight loss Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 27 points and Terry Rozier had 21 points and nine assists as the Charlotte Hornets beat Detroit 113-103 and extended the Pistons’ losing streak to 10 games. P.J. Washington added 20 points and Nick Richards had 13 points and nine rebounds for the Hornets, who won their second straight game. Cory Joseph scored 17 points and James Wiseman finished with 16 points and 13 rebounds for Detroit.  Detroit played without four of the five starters from its season-opening win over the Orlando Magic. Cade Cunningham (leg), Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) and Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) are injured, while Saddiq Bey was traded to the Atlanta Hawks. Rookie Jaden Ivey is the only player to start both games.  At halftime, The Pistons honored the 2003 WNBA champion Detroit Shock at halftime. The Shock, who also won titles in 2006 and 2008, moved to Tulsa after the 2009 season and are now the Dallas Wings.

The hope was the 34-year-old wouldn't miss much time because of the unlucky mishap, but now it appears he'll be out until April. If that's the case, the Suns will have just five more games until the playoffs start. Durant has played in just three games — all on the road — since the blockbuster deal in February that sent Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, four first-round picks and other draft compensation to the Brooklyn Nets.

And it got a most unpredictable leaderboard after one round of The Players Championship. The leader is Chad Ramey, who had never see the Stadium Course until this week. He shot a bogey-free 64 and leads by one over Collin Morikawa. Hayden Buckley delivered the first ace of the tournament on the island-green 17th. Aaron Wise made a 10 on the closing hole with three straight tee shots into the water. Rory McIlroy had a 76. That’s his worst score in more than a year. Soccer – Split verdict for ex-Fox execs in soccer rights bribe case A former Fox executive has been convicted of paying tens of millions of dollars in bribes to nab broadcasting rights to the World Cup and other top soccer matches. A second ex-executive was acquitted. A Brooklyn federal jury delivered its verdict Thursday. Hernan Lopez was convicted. Carlos Martinez was acquitted. Prosecutors have said the case bared the corruption of international soccer. Defense lawyers say the former Fox execs were framed by an admitted criminal who was trying to minimize his own punishment. New York-based Fox Corp. wasn't charged in the case and has denied any involvement in the bribery scandal. Tennis – Andy Murray pulls out another 3-set victory at Indian Wells Andy Murray grabbed the last three games to come back and beat Tomas Martin Etcheverry 6-7 (5), 6-1, 6-4 across more than three hours in the first round of the BNP Paribas Open.
