导出博客文章Two teams that didnt live up to preseason hype square off Wednesday, when Diana
Taurasi and the Phoenix Mercury visit the Indiana Fever for a win-or-go-home,
first-round playoff battle at Bankers Life Fieldhouse that could mark the final
game of veteran star Tamika Catchings.One of the WNBAs all-time greats,
Catchings has announced that she will retire when the Fevers season ends, which
could be Wednesday.The first two rounds of this seasons playoffs are
single-elimination, so there is no tomorrow for Wednesdays loser. The winner
advances to the second round and will face either the New York Liberty or the
Chicago Sky on the road.The Fever, after reaching last years WNBA Finals, were
expected to be among the top-tier of contenders again this season. But Indiana
(17-17) struggled with inconsistency, especially on the offensive end and didnt
secure home court in the first round of the playoffs until an 83-60 win over the
Dallas Wings in their regular season finale.Indiana is 11th in the league in
scoring, averaging 80.5 points per game, and last in the league in
rebounding.The Mercury (16-18) also experienced a disappointing regular season.
With Taurasi returning from a one-year hiatus to join with Brittney Griner and
Penny Taylor, Phoenix was expected to be a top-tier contender. Instead, the
Mercury barely got into the playoffs, winning three of their last four to secure
the eighth seed.Their struggles, for the most part, havent come on the offensive
end of the court. Taurasi leads five Mercury players averaging in double figures
at 17.8 points per game. She scored 19 points in Phoenixs 79-65 win at Indiana
on Aug. 31, the teams most recent meeting.Indiana won two of three overall
against Phoenix this season, but will have their hands full with Griner, who has
emerged as the leagues premier shot-blocker. Her 107 blocks led the WNBA this
season and were 28 more than second-place Elizabeth Williams of the Atlanta
Dream.

Yellow . -- Three close looks at the bucket, three misses. BOSTON -- Eric
Dungey threw three touchdown passes, Ervin Phillips had a pair of scores and
Syracuse beat Boston College 28-20 on Saturday, sending the Eagles to their 12th
straight Atlantic Coast Conference loss.Dungey went 32 for 38 for 434 yards. He
also ran 17 times for 54 yards for the Orange (4-4, 2-2 ACC).Hes getting better
with that stuff all the time, Syracuse coach Dino Babers said of his QB. Hes
come a long way since we first saw him.Last week, he became the first player in
school history to throw for over 300 yards and rush for over 100 in an upset
victory over then-No. 17 Virginia Tech.In the opening quarter, a brief fight
broke out on the Syracuse sideline between Dungey and a couple of Boston College
players after an interception by BCs William Harris.Dungey threw Harris to the
ground and pushed BC linebacker Matt Milano into an equipment container near the
stands after he stepped over the QB.Players from both teams -- with a few from
BC running across the field -- got involved in the shoving. A Syracuse staff
member threw Harris to the ground before the officials and coaches got things
under control.I was trying to finish the tackle. I get tackled all the time,
Dungey said. Some guys standing over me talking smack. I just tried to get him
off of me. One thing led to another.Patrick Towles went 4 of 14 for 45 yards for
Boston College (3-4, 0-4) but did run 75 yards for a touchdown. He was taken out
of the game early in the fourth quarter and appeared to be favoring his right
leg with a hamstring injury.We were better today, BC coach Steve AAddazio
said.dddddddddddd The consistency in our throw game was just not there.Back-up
Darius Wade drove the Eagles deep into Syracuse territory, but was sacked and
then threw incomplete on fourth-and-14 with just under 2 minutes left.The Orange
went 86 yards for a score to make it 21-10 after an interception by linebacker
Parris Bennett inside their own 5.Receiver Steve Ishmael made an 11-yard TD
catch along the side of the end zone, making a leaping grab and getting one foot
to touch before he was knocked out of bounds.One play later, Towles broke around
left end and went down the sideline for his score on the final play of the third
quarter. Mike Knolls second field goal -- a 39-yarder -- cut it to 21-20.Dungeys
third TD toss -- a 68-yarder to Amba Etta-Tawo -- made it 28-20.Boston Colleges
Myles Willis had an 89-yard kickoff return for a TD.THE TAKEAWAYSYRACUSE: The
Orange didnt play smooth offensively, collecting a handful of false start
penalties and turning the ball over three times, but they go into a bye week
with a pair of key victories.BOSTON COLLEGE: The Eagles cant make key plays when
the games close. They were driving for a possible go-ahead score late in the
third when wide-open receiver Michael Walker bobbled a pass -- with the ball
flying into the air and into the hands of linebacker Bennett.UP NEXTSYRACUSE:
Travels to No. 4 Clemson on Nov. 5.BOSTON COLLEGE: Faces North Carolina State on
the road next Saturday.
