Seth Curry, Stephen Curry become top NCAA scorers for pair of brothers

Published Monday, Feb 11, 2013 at 10:14 am EST Last updated 2 hours and 39 minutes ago

Golden State guard Stephen Curry had to count on his younger brother, Duke guard Seth Curry, to get his name in college basketball records books.

When Seth sank a 3-pointer early in the second half Sunday in the Blue Devils? road win at Boston College, it bumped him and his brother into first place for most points by a pair of brothers in NCAA history.

The Currys have 4,493 combined points, surpassing Tyler Hansbrough and Ben Hansbrough, who totaled 4,485 career points.

The scoring totals for brothers is impressive. After the Currys and Hansbroughs, Larry and Eddie Bird are third with 4,405 points, Chuck and Wesley Person scored 4,377 and Greg and Josh Grant had 4,124.

?It?s a cool record to say we have,? Seth Curry told reporters Sunday. ?It?s something me and my brother can share, and something we will talk about down the road. We talked about it a week ago because we knew we were close. We were just laughing about it because we knew it was a funny type of record.?

Stephen Curry acknowledged his brother getting them over the hump on Twitter on Sunday.

Proud of @sdotcurry 4 the work he put in at Liberty and Duke. Happy to be half of the highest all time brother duo scorers in NCAA history.

Bieber screws up black history facts on 'SNL'

By Aaron Couch, The Hollywood Reporter

Dana Edelson / NBC

Justin Bieber hosted "Saturday Night Live" on Feb. 9.

Justin Bieber?seduced the audience and joked about smoking pot during this week?s?"Saturday Night Live."

During his opening monologue, the host and musical guest noted that February is home to both Valentine?s Day and Black History Month, so he would celebrate both. With help from?Kenan Thompson, the singer approached young women in the audience, presented them with a rose, and smooth talked them with some black history facts. He started off well ? but soon got his history mixed up.

Photos from THR: 12 'SNL' sketches made into movies

?Girl you?re driving me crazy, but did you also know?Denzel Washington?invented peanut butter?? he asked one young woman. Finally, surprise guest?Whoopi Goldberg?appeared and Bieber serenaded her with ?One Less Lonely Girl.?

Later, Bieber plays the ultimate?Miley Cyrus?(Vanessa Bayer) fan, appearing on her talk show and proclaiming his disdain for Justin Bieber. Bieber's character obliquely addresses photos that emerged in January of the singer smoking marijuana: ?I also heard he got busted smoking weed, and people make mistakes and he?s really sorry about it and he?s never going to do it again.?

"SNL"?kicked off the episode by revisiting Sunday?s Super Bowl blackout, which left the CBS Sports team with little to do but rehash old facts for thirty minutes. A more detailed description of what went down can be?read here, but sufficed to say, there?s awkward talk of?Dan Marino?s?(Jason Sudeikis) recently revealed extramarital affair and?Shannon Sharpe?s?(Jay Pharoah) desire to eat a punter.

Speaking of the Super Bowl, Thompson appeared on "Weekend Update"?as ?the one black guy in every commercial.? You know him ? the ?cool but non threatening? guy who is forever banging out a rhythm Pringles cans, DJing parties and high-fiving people ? all in the name of adding diversity to an ad campaign. Thompson?s character tells?Seth Meyers?his life is awesome, because he is constantly hanging out with ?Hispanic girls with bangs? and white guys who wear fedoras when they dance.

Bieber affected a greaser accent for a sketch derived from "Grease?s" ?Tell Me More? (renamed ?Say More Stuff? in "SNL"?parlance). Bieber?s character isn?t too smart, as it?s revealed he was disappointed on his date when he discovered ?sweater puppies? weren?t literally puppies hidden in a woman?s sweater.

The pop star nearly cracked up ala vintage?Jimmy Fallon?while playing a respectable pre-medical student who goes home to meet his girlfriend?s (Nasim Pedrad) family. Her oafish older brother (Taran Killam) screams in his face, just about causing Bieber to break.

Later, Bieber got to a play nerd who, along with his girlfriend (Pedrad), plan an abstinence-themed school dance.

"SNL"?is new next week with host?Christoph Waltz?and musical guest Alabama Shakes.

Which skit was your favorite? How did Bieber do? Share your thoughts on our Facebook page!

Report: Justin Verlander Says No to Team USA and 2013 World Baseball Classic

In a move that Detroit Tigers fans wanted to hear, Justin Verlander told Joe Torre and Team USA that he will not be pitching in this year?s World Baseball Classic.

At a press conference today in Lakeland, Fla., Verlander (via Bob Nightengale) said the reason he gave was that he is behind schedule this year and does not want to fall further behind:

Tigers fans will be happy that he will not be pitching meaningful baseball before the start of the season as Detroit tries to repeat as American League champions.

Coming off a year which saw Verlander go 17?8 with an ERA of 2.64 and a league-high strikeout total of 239, the feeling starting the season is that Verlander?s focus needs to be on the Tigers the entire time.

Still this is a definite blow for Team USA?s chances in the upcoming WBC.

Torre, USA?s manager this time around, really wanted to have the ace on his roster as the group?which contains Canada, Mexico and the Dominican Republic?is one of the toughest in pool play.

With a weak American team and the loaded Japanese and Venezuelan rosters awaiting in the later rounds, the chances of team USA winning the classic are very slim.

While Major League Baseball?s corporate office in New York will be scratching their heads as to how they can get better participation from American players in the future, Detroit fans will no longer have to worry about Verlander taxing himself too much too early.

PST: Arsenal holds out for win at Sunderland

When Santi Cazorla put Arsenal up in the 36th minute at Sunderland, it looked like the beginning for an easy day for the Gunners. Their normally prolific passing game was accompanied by a precision the Gunners often lack, movement toward goal that hinted this many be a rare easy Arsenal road victory. The team went into halftime up one at the Stadium of Light, but it seemed only a matter of time before the visitors doubled their lead. There was little reason to think the match would end 1-0.

Yet that?s precisely what happened. Shortly after the hour mark, Arsenal were left to rue their near-misses and plunked uprights when they lost one of their defenders. Booked for the second time, right back Carl Jenkinson left his team to play with 10 for the last half hour, a disadvantage that caused the match to flip. In a game where Arsenal outshot their opponent 19-14, Sunderland posted eight shots to Arsenal?s four after the sending off. Unfortunately for the Black Cats, none of their shots had to be collected from Arsenal?s net.

Saving his team, goalkeeper Wojiech Szczesny gave Arsenal a man of the match-caliber performance, even if his numbers failed to capture his impact. His five saves where fewer than the seven recorded by Simon Mignolet, but late stops on chances that would have otherwise been goals (specifically, a late heard by Steven Fletcher) backboned a superficially strong defensive performance. Arsenal was able to keep a clean sheet, but even for a team reduced to 10 men, their defense was often too easily breeched by the Black Cats.

After their leery 30 minutes, Arsenal was left with more than just a fortunate victory, in so far as any prolonged survival with 10 men requires some fortunate. The win was an impressive one for a team that?s often criticized for lacking perseverance. On the road, down a man, and having lost one of their better players to injury (Jack Wilshire, whose injury seemed minor), Arsenal got a valuable result, one which keeps them within four points of a coveted Champions League spot.
