OGDEN -- Despite leading the entire game, Weber State had to scratch and claw to come away with an 84-75 win over Eastern Washington on Saturday at the Dee Events Center.

NCAA scoring leader Damian Lillard scored a game-high 22 points as Weber State reached the 20-win plateau for the fourth time in coach Randy Rahe's six seasons in Ogden and 25th time in 50 years of Division I basketball.

Bryon Fulton added a season-high 16 points off the bench and pulled down nine rebounds to narrowly miss having back-to-back double-doubles.

OGDEN -- Weber State fell 85-82 at home against Northern Arizona on Saturday, as the Lumberjacks stole an inbounds pass with just 10 seconds remaining and nailed two free throws to seal the Big Sky Conference victory.

WSU junior Amanda Hughes set a conference single-game record with 24 rebounds to go with 20 points.

It was tied for the second-highest total by a Weber State player, trailing only Kathy Miller's effort against Colorado in 1977.

SNOWBASIN -- A pair of youngsters made it interesting, but couldn't quite come up with enough Saturday night to unseat the reigning king of the freeski superpipe at the Winter Dew Tour.

Twenty-one-year-old David Wise of Reno, Nev. won the mens freeski superpipe finals Saturday with a score of 94.50, but France's Kevin Rolland took home his second consecutive Dew Cup at the Toyota Championships after finishing second with 93.00.

Real Madrid, Barcelona top football's rich list

LONDON -- Real Madrid and Barcelona are football's biggest moneymakers for the third straight year and look set to out-earn their rivals for the foreseeable future.

The annual review of football finance by Deloitte shows Madrid topping the list for the seventh straight year with revenue of 479.5 million ($636.5 million) to the year ending June 30, an increase of 9 percent on the previous 12 months.

English champion Manchester United was again in third place with (euro) 367 million ($487.2 million), the highest of four English clubs in the top 10 earners. Bayern Munich was fourth with (euro) 321.4 million ($426.6 million), with Arsenal, Chelsea, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Liverpool and Schalke next.

Tim Lincecum thought about the seismic shifts of baseball's offseason, the ones that saw Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder migrate to the American League.

"I think it's great," San Francisco's two-time Cy Young Award winner joked. "I won't have to pitch to them anymore."

Just 106 days after the surprising St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series, baseball returns this weekend when pitchers and catchers for the Seattle Mariners report to spring training in Peoria, Ariz.

The Wizard fields questions as aptly as he fielded grounders

The Wizard fields questions as aptly as he fielded grounders

I never saw Ernest Hemingway pecking at his typewriter, never saw Vincent van Gogh dabbing colors on a canvas; never heard John Coltrane playing his saxophone at Birdland.

But I saw Ozzie Smith play shortstop, so in that regard, I suppose I can say I've seen an artist at work.

BYU blasts Pepperdine 86-48

PROVO — Charles Abouo was feeling it, and so were the rest of the Cougars.

Brigham Young (21-6 overall, 9-3 West Coast Conference) smashed Pepperdine 86-48 on Saturday at the Marriott Center, getting a season-best 23 points from its senior forward and cruising to its highest margin of victory this season.

Abouo, who knocked down five 3-pointers, wfinished 7 of 11 overall and also hauled in 12 rebounds to lead all players.

Arizona comes back to beat Utah 70-61

TUCSON, Ariz. -- Arizona's players were lackadaisical on defense, shot 3-pointers they only hoped would go in and looked like a scared team, not one playing for the Pac-12 lead.

The Wildcats pulled together to grind out a win, but it's not what coach Sean Miller was hoping from his team, particularly not this late in the season.

Nick Johnson hit a 3-pointer with just over a minute left and had 18 points, Kyle Fogg added 17 points and Arizona shook off a lackluster first half to beat Utah 70-61 on Saturday.
