Casey McGehee waited until after he left the visiting clubhouse at Wrigley Field, gathered his belongings at his hotel in downtown Chicago and hopped onto his flight to La Guardia Airport before he finally gave in. Early Wednesday, knowing that facial hair does not go over well with the Yankees -- the team the Pittsburgh Pirates traded him to just before the 4 p.m. nonwaiver trade deadline Tuesday -- McGehee shaved off two years' worth of hazel brown beard.

One of the first real signs that Jeremy Lin's wild wave of celebrity was cresting came March 11, in an afternoon game at Madison Square Garden. For the first time in a month, Lin spoke afterward to a manageable crowd of reporters in front of his locker, not to a throng in the press conference room. That was hardly insignificant. Neither was Wednesday night's milestone against Portland: it was Lin's first game in which he scored in single digits (6 points) in a Knicks win since he became a starter in early February.

Most of Cincinnati's quiet run toward the upper tier of the Big East standings has been motivated by an effort to erase the stain of an incident in the season's second month: an ugly brawl with intracity rival Xavier that resulted in four suspensions for both teams. The incident was an embarrassment for the Bearcats, then unranked, but one the team managed to eventually use to its benefit. A lineup change, and a refinement of focus, helped Cincinnati develop into the team that will play for the Big East men's basketball tournament championship after upsetting top-seeded Syracuse, 71-68, in the semifinals Friday at Madison Square Garden.

Dan Hurley did not give his team much time to savor its first victory over a ranked opponent in 33 years. By 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, Wagner's holiday was over and another relentless two-hour practice was under way. Hurley was not too worried that Wagner's 59-54 upset at then-No. 15 Pittsburgh last Friday would make his players overconfident. Instead, he wanted them to think of it as no big deal, a tough task when dealing with a team not necessarily used to winning. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
