UTLEY SIGNS
- Kevin Durant lead his #21 ranked Texas Longhorns into Philly yesterday and lost to a Villanova team that is coming together. This is the second ranked team the Wildcats have defeated in the past week. Villanova sensation freshman, Scott Reynolds, outplayed Kevin Durant. Reynolds outscored Durant, 26-12 and even helped defend Durant even though he gave up six inches. Sophomore Dante Cunningham also helped shut down Durant. If Durant is a future Sixer, he got off to a rough start in the Wachovia Center.
- The Flyers gave one of their best complete efforts of the year but could not upend the New Jersey Devils. The Flyers never trailed all game, but gave up the lead with just 20 seconds remaining the third period and then lost in a shoot-out. Antero Nittymaki played well in goal and Simon Gagne reconnected with Peter Forsberg to score an early goals. The other goals were scored by Kyle Calder and Ryan Potulny.
- In today's Inquirer Steven A. Smith takes Ed Snider to the woodshed.
- And hot off the presses: The Phillies sign Chase Utley to a seven year/85 million dollar extension as reported by ESPN.com. I will have more on this later.
