Catching up with Shav

Former Duke forward Shavlik Randolph, now with the NBA's Portland Trailblazers, talks about his inactive role in his fourth pro season, his recovery from a horrific ankle injury and how he sees his future in the NBA.

Clinch may return

Coming off an ugly, 66-60 loss at home to Illinois-Chicago, Georgia Tech could use help and may get it Wednesday with the expected return of guard Lewis Clinch, who had been academically ineligible in the first semester. Clinch, a senior who averaged 9.0 points per game last season and 13.2 the previous year, could be cleared to play Wednesday against Georgia State.

"He should provide a little more offensive punch for us," The Atlanta Journal-Constitution quoted Tech coach Paul Hewitt as saying after his team latest loss.

Clinch told the newspaper his grades were high enough for him to return. 

ESPN360.com's ACC hoops schedule

ESPN360.com is offering live streaming of about 50 ACC men's and eight women's basketball games this season, and a couple of others of regional interest. Unlike this Saturday's N.C. State-Maryland football game, ESPN360.com doesn't have exclusive rights to these ACC basketball games, ESPN's Paul Melvin says, meaning they'll be aired on one of ESPN's channels or be available as part of ESPN's Full Court pay-per-view service. Time Warner offers Full Court to subscribers on cable but not ESPN360 as part of its Roadrunner service. AT&T and Verizon do offer ESPN360, which says it's in negotiations with TW.
