The Sacramento Kings sit in 3rd place in the NBA's Pacific Division. So why are there rumors circulating that Shenendehowa grad Kevin Huerter could be traded?
It's not just for the sake of talk, it seems, but the fact that Huerter isn't starting regularly, instead coming off the bench. Either way, WNYT's Rodger Wyland, writing in today's Albany Times-Union dismissed the notion of Huerter being dealt, noting that Huerter still has value as a bench player. Huerter scored 31 points in nearly 39 minutes in a loss to Indiana on Thursday night. Sacramento has dropped three in a row, and needs to turn things around. Keeping Huerter around, Wyland reasons, will help in that direction.

Staying out west, Schenectady native Tara VanDerveer became the winningest coach in college basketball history, period, surpassing Duke icon Mike Krzyewski after Stanford beat Oregon State, 65-56, on Sunday. With 17 national titles, an Olympic gold medal, and now, the wins record, in 30 seasons at Stanford, VanDerveer, if she isn't there already, is surely a first ballot Hall of Famer.

Siena lost Michael Eley to injury----again----in Friday's loss Quinnipiac. The Saints had a 20-4 lead in the first half Sunday at Marist, and couldn't hold it.
Matt "Cool" McCool scored the winning basket with 4.2 seconds left to give the Red Foxes a 50-48 victory over the Saints, who can't seem to put together a winning streak. Instead, they've lost two straight since beating Niagara a week ago.
The Saints return to MVP Arena Friday to host Iona at 7 pm (WNYA-Spectrum channel 1215/JAMZ 96.3 FM). They're hoping to get Eley, out with a hamstring issue on Sunday, back for that game.
