0 – wins for Pitt men’s basketball over ranked teams this season. Last Saturday’s 61-53 loss at Georgetown dropped the Panthers’ record to 0-4 against ranked opponents.

3 – winning streaks of at least 12 games for the Dallas Mavericks thus far in the 2006-07 NBA season. The Mavericks (48-9) won their 13th in a row, beating Minnesota 91-85 Tuesday night. 2 – wins for the Clemson Tigers (19-9 overall, 5-9 ACC) since starting 17-0. The Tigers are in danger of missing the NCAA Tournament after going the longest without losing this season.

25 – points per game, the average margin of victory for the Connecticut women’s basketball team in conference play this season. The No. 3 Huskies (27-2 overall, 16-0 Big East) had only one game – a 52-48 win over Marquette – in conference decided by less than 10 points.
