So all of the names below are of players who are seniors now and who will be on college campuses next fall.Seven of the 24 players are uncommitted. Kentucky, with four selectees, has the most of any school. But the Pac-12, with six players, has the most of any conference.

MELBOURNE -- If there was ever any doubt that news of Andy Murray's knighthood had reached Australian shores, it was dispelled during a tense moment as the world No. 1 laboured to a first-round victory against Ukraine's Illya Marchenko on the opening day of this year's Australian Open.Murray -- winner of 44 tour singles titles, two-time Olympic gold medallist, top seed, and five-time runner up at the opening Grand Slam of the year -- barely got out of second gear during his 7-5, 7-6 (5), 6-2 vic..>> view originalFalcons to face Packers at Dome in NFC championship game
The calculations for the Falcons regarding their potential NFC championship seemed simple. Take on Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers at the Georgia Dome? Or go to Dallas to face the top seed and its star rookies? Yet the answer didn’t seem obvious. After the Falcons beat the Seahawks at the Dome Saturday, coach Dan Quinn said he wasn’t sure if he’d pull for the Packers, although he wanted a home game “for the fans.” “Past that, the coaching side of me and the matchups, I’ll have to go in and..>> view originalSteelers coach Mike Tomlin upset Patriots 'spotted' a day and a half

WASHINGTON - Saturday night's game against the Washington Wizards was more about showcasing Jahlil Okafor to possible trading partners than anything else for the 76ers. They wouldn't come out and say it before or after the 109-93 loss to the Washington Wizards at the Verizon Center. How else can you explain Okafor getting the start when he hadn't played a single second in the previous four games? How else can you explain his playing the entire fourth quarter of a blowout loss? How else can y..>> view originalNFL Divisional Blanket: Taking a first look at NFC, AFC championship matchups
After a lackluster wild-card round, there was a lot to savor this divisional weekend. From Matt Ryan’s varied and brilliant attack, and the former Rutgers secondary picking off the Texans for the Patriots, to Aaron Rodgers and Mason Crosby staring down the Cowboys’ game rookies, and a defensive battle between the Steelers and Chiefs, the divisional games were a lot of fun (well, mostly on Sunday and not counting Jason Garrett’s clock management). But that’s all ..>> view originalOn a defense full of young talent, it's veteran James Harrison who saves Steelers' day
The Pittsburgh Steelers are in the midst of a youth movement on defense. Linebacker Ryan Shazier, who had a key interception during Pittsburgh’s divisional-round win over Kansas City, is 24 years old. Bud Dupree, whose hit on Alex Smith set up that INT, is 23. Ditto for Javon Hargrave and Stephon Tuitt. Those guys weren’t even in middle school when James Harrison entered the NFL, 15 years ago. If you didn’t know about the age gap,..>> view originalChiefs hold, so Steelers hold on
Getty ImagesA two-point conversion that would have tied the game was negated by penalty, and the Steelers then killed the clock and held on to beat the Chiefs Sunday night, 18-16. The Chiefs had scored on a Spencer Ware run with 2:43 left to come within two points. Alex Smith found Demetrius Harris wide open on the ensuing two-point play, but Chiefs left tackle Eric Fisher was flagged for holding Steelers linebacker James Harrison.
