Denver vs New Orleans - 3:30 pm ET

Happy New Year!

Will Venable hopes to be the Padres' everyday center fielder in 2009.

Northwestern (8-3) had an 11 point second half lead and was controlling yesterday's game at Penn State. Then Big Ten leading scorer Talor Battle got hot, going off for 19 second half points as the Nittany Lions held off the Wildcats, 61-57.

Richmond (7-6) was up seven with three minutes to play, but VMI rallied for the 73-70 victory.

Winners of five straight at home, Denver looks to end a 36 game road losing streak at New Orleans.

Princeton's next opponent, UNC Greensboro, lost 75-53 to Akron yesterday afternoon. The Spartans are 1-9 heading into Saturday's game at Jadwin Gym.

Around the Ivy League: Cornell (7-6) outgunned Quinnipiac, 73-70. Harvard (6-6) fell 67-54 at William & Mary.
