knows that Cleveland wont take the Bucks lightly

PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- No. 8 Penn State is a win away from getting a piece of its first conference title since 2011, the year Joe Paterno was fired.Tyler Davis kicked a career-high four field goals and the Nittany Lions stayed in the hunt for a berth in the Big Ten Conference title game with a 39-0 victory over Rutgers on Saturday night.The win kept Penn State tied for first place in the Big Ten East with Ohio State and Michigan, who face each other in Columbus, Ohio. If the Buckeyes win and the Nittany Lions take their home finale against Michigan State, Penn State goes to the title game, having beaten the Buckeyes in the regular season.When I was a freshman, I never thought with the sanctions that we would ever be in this type of position, and to be here with nine wins -- this is our first nine-win season since Ive been on the team. Im just really proud of it, fifth-year senior defensive end Evan Schwan said after Penn State (9-2, 7-1, No. 9 AP) won its seventh straight game, its longest streak since 11, the year the child sex abuse scandal broke involving one of Paternos former coaches.Penn State was never threatened in this one, which finished with rain and then sleet falling.Saquon Barkley and Andre Robinson scored on short third-quarter runs and the Nittany Lions defense limited Rutgers (2-9, 0-8) to 87 yards in total offense.Tight end Mike Gesicki said the team has not talked much about the postseason implications in recent weeks.We control our own destiny on Saturdays when we play whoever were playing and thats all we can control and thats all we care about, Gesicki said.Trace McSorley (17-of-33 for 210 yards) added a 27-yard scoring pass to Mark Allen and backup quarterback Tommy Stevens scored on a 12-yard run in the fourth quarter, when the Nittany Lions had 216 of their 549 yards in total offense.The loss was the eighth straight for Rutgers and rookie head coach Chris Ash, and the shutout was the fourth of the season. The last time Rutgers was shut out four times in a season was 1936, when it was blanked six straight games in a 1-6-1 season.This one hurt because it was Senior Day for the Scarlet Knights and they wanted to give their seniors a final win at home.Just want to thank our seniors, Ash said. Disappointing that Senior Night didnt end on a positive. Didnt give them an opportunity to leave their legacy in this football program and this university the way that we wanted.Penn State led 9-0 at the half and the story was Davis and the Nittany Lions defense.Davis hit from 32, 34 and 40 yards, the first two into a stiff wind. He added a 32-yarder early in the second half to push the lead to 19-0.The defense set the tone for the game after Penn State return man Miles Sanders muffed the opening kickoff and Rutgers recovered at the 19. Three plays lost seven yards and David Bonagura was wide right on a 45-yard field goal attempt.The defense has been better every week, Penn State linebacker Jason Cadinda said. We pitched a shutout, 80-something yards. Every week the confidence just builds and builds. We know what were capable of. Its as simple as that.Rutgers averaged less than two yards a play on its 50 offensive plays, finishing 1 of 14 on third-down attempts.Look at the stats, were not even one dimensional, Ash said.THE TAKEAWAYPenn State: While the Nittany Lions defense was outstanding, the offense did not do much until late. There also has to be concern because Barkley (16 carries for 92 yards) was dinged in the third quarter on a run inside the 10 and he did not return. Michigan State showed Saturday that it still had something in the tank despite a dreadful season and Penn State needs a healthy Barkley.Rutgers: The Scarlet Knights will get a chance to play spoiler again and give Ash his first Big Ten win. All they need to do is end Marylands bid for bowl eligibility.DUBIOUS RECORD: Rutgers Michael Cintron averaged 37.3 yards on 11 punts, including one that was blocked. He now has punted 89 times this season, a single-season record for a punter in the conference.UP NEXTPenn State: The Nittany Lions close out the conference regular season at home against Michigan State.Rutgers: The Scarlet Knights play at Maryland on Saturday.

Ibaka equaled a career high with 20 rebounds, adding four blocked shots and 15 points as the Thunder smothered the Milwaukee Bucks offence in a 92-79 victory Saturday night. MILWAUKEE -- Kevin Love will be unavailable Tuesday when the Cleveland Cavaliers travel to Milwaukee for a rematch with the Bucks at the Bradley Center.Love tweaked his left knee Saturday in the Cavs 119-108 victory over the Lakers and didnt practice Monday. Later in the day, the team announced that Love suffered a contusion in the knee.He took a blow to the knee, knee-to-knee, and it swelled up on him and its kind of stiff, Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue told the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.Richard Jefferson is expected to start in place of Love, who has scored at least 20 points or more in each of his last six games.Love sat out the fourth quarter of the Cavs last meeting with Milwaukee -- as did the rest of Clevelands star-laden lineup as the Bucks took control early and cruised to a 118-101 victory on Nov. 29, a loss that started a season-high three-game losing streak.The game was tied at 65 early in the third, but Milwaukee closed the quarter on a 27-9 run, leaving Lue to turn to his reserves.I just wanted to do it, Lue said afterward. I just didnt like how we were playing.In that contest, Giannis Antetokounmpo put up his best effort of the season -- to that point -- tying his career high with 34 points and added 12 rebounds, five assists, five steals and a pair of blocks.Theyre a young, athletic team. When Giannis (Antetokounmpo) gets it off the glass, when Jabari gets it, theey push it and they push it hard so we got to get two guys back, a third guy back if hes not in the paint to crash the boards.dddddddddddd We got to set our defense in transition. Thats the biggest thing for us.Milwaukee also got 18 from Jabari Parker, who has averaged 20.7 points on 51.6 percent shooting in his last 10 games, a streak that began against the Cavs.He knows that Cleveland wont take the Bucks lightly this time around.I think theyre going to take this game with a lot of emphasis, Parker said. I feel like I do have to change my approach because youve got to expect the best out of them. We have to be a little more conscious of how theyre going to play out there.The game is the first half of a back-to-back, home-and-home set between the two teams. Theyll meet again Wednesday night in Cleveland. Its Milwaukees second consecutive back-to-back, home-and-home set; the Bucks swept a pair of games against the Bulls Friday and Saturday night last week.Both of those games were high-energy routs for the Bucks.We were able to win the first game and we just carried the energy over, center Greg Monroe said. Hopefully at home again for the first game, we can use the home-court advantage and try to get another win and be ready for the second night. ' ' '
