Winter Park native Austin Rivers could be a part of NCAA men's basketball history tonight. Rivers, son of Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers, will try to help his coach become the all-time winningest coach in men's college basketball history.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski is just one win shy of setting a new Division I college men's basketball record for wins at 903 as the Blue Devils take on Michigan State tonight. Currently, Coach K is tied with his mentor Bobby Knight at 902 victories.
ESPN will broadcast the game slated for a 7 p.m. start at Madison Square Garden.
Now that we know the NBA lockout has potential to last for the entire 2011-12 season, it's nice to know sports fans won't be completely deprived of their basketball.
So will you be watching?

Peter Gabriel's influence is so widespread we may take it for granted. When the rest of rock was simplifying in the new wave days, the former Genesis frontman blended synthesizers and a signature gated drum sound with an emotional honesty learned from soul music to create a sensibility that would influence artists from U2 to Arcade Fire to Depeche Mode. With extraordinary ambition, Gabriel transitioned from cult artist to multimedia pop star to global rock icon. His WOMAD festival has been a 33-year laboratory for musical cross-pollination. His brilliant stage shows inspired U2's and Flaming Lips' and expanded the visual vocabulary of music videos with clips such as "Sledgehammer," "Shock The Monkey" and "Big Time." In addition, he wrote songs like "Don't Give Up," "Red Rain" and "In Your Eyes" that put heart and soul on the radio at a time when those values were in short supply. Four decades on as a solo artist, Gabriel continues to push the boundaries of popular music and challenge audiences across the globe.
Here are 5 essential Peter Gabriel songs:
"Solsbury Hill" (1977)
"Solsbury Hill" captured the emotions of Peter Garbiel's departure from Genesis. As tension built during Genesis' A Lamb Lies Down on Broadway tour (1974-75), Gabriel announced his resignation from the band he helped to create almost a full decade prior. Two years later, he would release his solo debut with the help of King Crimon's Robert Fripp, guitarist Steve Hunter and the heavily used session bassist Tony Levin. "Solsbury Hill" was the only single to come from the album, but would still keep Gabriel in the public spotlight as it reached the top 20 in the U.K. and peaked at #68 in the U.S.
"Games Without Frontiers" (1980)
A reference to a long-running European game show, "Games Without Frontiers" would become Gabriel's first Top 10 hit in the U.K. With a dark and ominous tone, the subject matter is much darker than that of a game show, with scenes of war and destruction portrayed in the music video. The single further showcased Gabriel's obssession with experimental and electronic instruments - including a programmable drum set, Moog Model 15 and a Fairlight CMI sampler – along with Kate Bush on backing vocals.
"Biko" (1980)
As lead singer in the British art-rock band Genesis, Peter Gabriel wore elaborate costumes in live performances. As a solo act he made arty rock music without broad theatrical devices. "Biko" is a moving tribute to Stephen Biko, a South African martyr in the struggle against apartheid. The 1980 song anticipated Gabriel's work as a tireless advocate for the human rights organization Amnesty International. "Biko" builds upon a funeral drum pattern that runs throughout the song. A heavily sustained guitar offers a 20th-century counterpoint to this elemental drumming. Gabriel's melody is as simple as his eloquent lyrics, first describing Biko's death and then declaring that brutality soils us all. The last verse accurately predicted the eventual end of the apartheid policy. The recording begins and ends with the sound of South Africans singing. In concert, Gabriel framed the song with the indomitable drumbeat, a poignant reminder that the struggle for freedom never stops.
"Sledgehammer" (1986)
One of Gabriel's most popular singles, "Sledgehammer" would reach Number One in Canada and the U.S. and match "Games Without Frontiers" when it would peak at Number Four in the U.K.. The music video would win a record-setting 10 MTV Video Music Awards in 1987, including Video of the Year where it beat out Genesis' "Land of Confusion."
Lyrically full of sexual innuendos, the backing instrumentals featured the Memphis Horns, the house musicians for the R&B and soul music label Stax.
"In Your Eyes" (1986)
Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" is a perfectly crafted love song: Its whispered organ chords, murmuring vocals and imperceptibly accelerating heartbeat tick-tock gradually give way to a radiant choral majesty sung by Youssou N'Dour. (On Gabriel's So tour of 1986, the former Genesis front man and the Senegalese master musician performed unforgettable vocal duets on the song's ever-intensifying climax.)
"In Your Eyes" reached cultural landmark status after being blasted out of a boom box held high by John Cusack outside Ione Skye's window in the 1989 movie Say Anything, Cameron Crowe's directorial debut. The song and image became a widely recognized shorthand symbol of youthful romance, to the extent of being parodied in an episode of 'South Park'. Initially overshadowed by other tracks from So (notably "Sledgehammer"), eventually "In Your Eyes" became Peter Gabriel's first U.S. gold single.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by LoveMyMares Just What I Was Looking For! I wanted to add a few industrial pieces to my décor, and these chairs caught my eye. I love the mix of metal and wood. I am using two of them at my farm table along with rustic Windsor chairs. Perfect!! They came quickly and were well-packed. They appear sturdy and are comfortable as dining chairs. The price was good, but the shipping surcharge of $20 per chair was hefty. However, they came in one piece, no assembly required. March 19, 2013

Rated 2 out of 5 by mkss13333333333333 not a great fit These slipcovers have a nice color- i bought it in several colors, but that is about it. The don't tuck in the back of the chair where your butt goes and gives the sensation that you are in a hammock (not in a good way). The seams ripped while I was trying to put them on the chair. The fabric itself seems like it would pill very easily and would absorb and food/stain it came in contact with. Pretty in the pictures but not practical. July 25, 2014

Born on March 4, 1944, Cleveland-native Bobby Womack grew into a soul and gospel legend whose contributions as a songwriter, singer and guitarist have kept him and his music relevant for decades.
The son of a steelworker, Womack and his siblings got their start as a gospel group. On tour with the Soul Stirrers, the Womack brothers – Bobby, Cecil, Curtis, Harris and Friendly Jr. – were introduced to the Stirrer's lead singer, Sam Cooke. With a move from gospel to secular soul, Cooke asked the Womack brothers to join him in California, and 16-year-old Bobby Womack made the trip.
Billed as the Valentinos, Bobby and his brothers cut two R&B classics: "Looking for a Love" (later covered by the J. Geils Band) and "It's All Over Now." The Rolling Stones' cover of the latter song beat the Valentinos' own version onto the charts, giving the Stones their second Top 40 hit in the States and first Number One hit in the U.K.
In the years following his work with Cooke, Womack would write songs recorded by Wilson Pickett ("I'm a Midnight Mover"), George Benson ("Breezin'"), Janis Joplin ("Trust Me") and others. Pickett alone recorded 17 of Womack's compositions. A solid guitarist who worked on the Memphis session scene for a period in the Sixties, Womack played on sessions for Pickett, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Joe Tex, King Curtis, Dusty Springfield and other soul and R&B artists.
From 1970 to 1990, Womack was popular and prolific, charting 36 singles. These include such major R&B hits as "That's the Way I Feel About Cha" (Number Two), "Woman's Gotta Have It" (Number One) and "If You Think You're Lonely Now" (Number Three). Womack topped the R&B chart with his 1974 re-recording of "Lookin' for a Love," while his contemporary update of a blues classic, "Nobody Wants to Know You When You're Down and Out," made it to Number Two. He was a hit-making machine in the mid-Seventies, perennially present in the Top 10 with such numbers as 1974's "You're Welcome, Stop On By," 1975's "Check It Out" and 1976's "Daylight." The first half of the Eighties saw the release of his two best-selling albums, The Poet and The Poet II.
Decades later, in 2009, Gorillaz co-founder and musical mastermind Damon Albarn (also of Blur fame) connected with Womack to record "Stylo" for the group's third studio album, Plastic Beach. Released as the first single, "Stylo" featured Womack's unmistakable, throaty vocals, and introduced the Hall of Fame Inductee to an entirely new audience after a long absence from recording. Three years later, in 2012, Womack – reunited with Albarn and having signed with Richard Russell's XL imprint – released his first album in more than a decade, The Bravest Man in the Universe. Although the album updated his sound with electronics and break beats, the mostly minimalist arrangements proved an ideal foil for Womack's rough,weathered voice.
In February 2013, Hall of Fame inductee and Cleveland native Bobby Womack came to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, where he sat for an interview with Rock Hall education director Jason Hanley and then later performed on the Rock Hall's main stage.
