Georgetown men’s basketball (12-5, 3-3 BIG EAST) lost to the St. John’s Red Storm (15-3, 6-1 BIG EAST) 63-58 on Jan. 14 at Madison Square Garden. In one of the Hoyas’ last chances to pick up a marquee win, they once again could not hang on to a double-digit lead, turning the ball over 19 times as a team. In a game that both teams needed to perform well in, each side gave their best punch. For Georgetown, it represented a chance to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive and avoid a three-game skid.

For the first time in a while, the Portland Trail Blazers are entering the trade deadline as bonafide sellers. Last season, the Blazers straddled the boundary between buyers and sellers, attempting to keep Damian Lillard satisfied without emptying the chest of future assets they would need to build around an emerging young core.

Many Filipino Americans may have grown distant from Filipino culture, but an unexpected source of cultural preservation has emerged: basketball. Aurea Gingras, sophomore point guard for Paul VI High School’s women’s basketball team, stood in the corner as the seconds wound down in the 2018 Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship semifinal. As a facilitator, Gingras hadn’t shot the ball at all in the game. In fact, coaches encouraged her not to shoot.

Trading Damian Lillard affirmed Joe Cronin’s commitment to the Portland Trail Blazers’ youth movement. Retaining Jerami Grant and acquiring DeAndre Ayton and Malcolm Brogdon gave the Blazers a chance at remaining competitive in the present, but the team’s timeline revolves around the younger Anfernee Simons and its deep group of rookies and sophomores.

Injuries and roster turnover set the Portland Trail Blazers up for a disappointing season. On the court, turnovers and a lack of shooting have marred the Blazers’ play. However, the team may have turned a corner after losing to the Phoenix Suns on Nov. 21, the last loss of its eight-game losing streak. Since then, the Blazers have won three of six, including back-to-back road wins at Indiana and Cleveland, and held leads for significant portions of the games they lost.

Aurea Gingras, sophomore point guard for Paul VI High School’s women’s basketball team, stood in the corner as the seconds ticked down in the 2018 Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC) championship semifinal. As a facilitator, Gingras hadn’t shot the ball at all in the game. In fact, her coaches encouraged her not to shoot. Paul VI, trailing McNamara 60-61, placed its final hopes of completing a 13-point comeback in the hands of star guard Ashley Owusu.
