(AP) -- Although the Cleveland Cavaliers haven't defeated the Orlando Magic in almost three years, they would appear to have an ideal opportunity to so Friday night.

The outcome of the Indians' season will depend on how they handle 10 key issues with spring training fast approaching.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- When Terry Francona agreed to manage the 2013 Indians, he knew there was deep water ahead, but said he wasn't afraid to take the plunge.

It's a good thing that Francona tries to start every day with a swim, because the depths to which the Indians have sunk will become all too real Sunday when pitchers and catchers report to Goodyear, Ariz., for the start of spring training.

General Manager Chris Antonetti has had an active winter, starting with the hiring of Francona. He's added hitters in Nick Swisher, Mark Reynolds and Drew Stubbs. He's added starting pitching in Brett Myers, youngster Trevor Bauer and spring-training invitee Scott Kazmir. In the bullpen, he's traded for Matt Albers and Bryan Shaw and invited veteran closer Matt Capps to camp.

Will that be enough for the Indians to recover from last year's 94-loss season and put them back in contention in the AL Central? Much of it will depend on how they address these 10 key issues.

1. Can Justin Masterson and Ubaldo Jimenez recover from a disastrous 2012 to lead the rotation?

Best case scenario: Masterson turns six of his nine starts last season in which he gave up six or more runs into quality starts -- three or fewer runs in six or more innings -- and pitches his way out of the darkness.

Jimenez finds a way to get through the first three innings of a start without having his soul ripped out. Last season he allowed 62 runs -- including 103 hits, 56 walks, 13 homers and 24 steals -- in the first three innings of his 31 starts.

Worst case scenario: Masterson keeps playing the good-start, bad-start game and spins out of control. Jimenez fails to break the grip of last season's second-half losing streak which saw him go 1-10 in 14 starts.

What will probably happen: One of the Tribe's top two starters in the rotation -- at least that's how they stacked up last year -- will pitch well. The smart money is on Masterson. Unless new pitching coach Mickey Callaway can reach him, Jimenez appears to be a lost cause.

2. Can the Indians' offense be saved?

Best case scenario: The addition of right-handed hitters Reynolds, Stubbs and Mike Aviles, along with the switch-hitting Swisher, adds muscle to an offense that last season finished 13th or 14th in the AL in runs, slugging percentage, homers, extra-base hits, RBI, total bases and sacrifice bunts.

Worst case scenario: The swing-and-miss factor that comes with the power of Reynolds, Stubbs and Swisher stops the Indians from making serious offensive gains.

What will probably happen: It's going to be nice to see someone hit a home run again.

3. Has the problem against left-handed starters been fixed with so many right-handed hitters?

Best case scenario: The Indians reverse their record against left-handed starters from last year, going 35-18 instead of 18-35.

Worst case scenario: Every left-handed starter the Indians face this year pitches like Gio Gonzalez. Yes, he's with Washington in the National League, but when he pitched in the AL, the lefty was 5-0 with a 0.72 ERA in six starts against the Tribe.

What will probably happen: Someone is going to complain when the Indians don't use one of former manager Manny Acta's all left-handed lineups against a right-handed starter.

4. How will Lonnie Chisenhall do at third base?

Best case scenario: Chisenhall stays healthy, plays 140 games and establishes himself as an everyday third baseman with some power and decent defensive skills.

Worst case scenario: Chisenhall stays healthy, but his problems with left-handers and controlling the strike zone -- getting into favorable hitting counts -- make it hard for Francona to keep him in the lineup every day.

What will probably happen: In the 2013 Bill James Handbook, Chisenhall is projected to hit .262 (137-for-522) with 31 doubles, two triples, 18 homers and 74 RBI. The Indians will sign up for that today.

5. Could the Indians be for sale?

Best case scenario: After the sale of SportsTime Ohio to Fox, the Dolan family has its golden parachute and decides to sell. They find a local owner with deep pockets who spends the necessary money to return the Indians to glory.

Worst case scenario: The Dolans put the team up for sale and no one is interested.

What will probably happen: CEO Paul Dolan continues to look for well-heeled investors. With the STO windfall and a big influx of national TV money starting in 2014, this is a good time to be a big-league owner.

6. Who is going to hit leadoff?

Best case scenario: Michael Brantley, Drew Stubbs or Jason Kipnis seamlessly replace departed Shin-Soo Choo.

Worst case scenario: Brantley, Stubbs and Kipnis struggle and Francona is forced to take Asdrubal Cabrera out of the middle of the lineup to the top spot.

What will probably happen: Last year Brantley hit .227 (22-for-97), Kipnis .202 (17-for-84) and Stubbs .159 (11-for-69) in the leadoff spot. Francona will use all three and wait for someone to claim the job.

7. How does Nick Swisher handle the expectations that come with his four-year, $56 million contract?

Best case scenario: Swisher, who thrived with the Yankees, returns to his home state and helps revive the Indians with his bat, glove and personality.

Worst case scenario: Swisher, always an extra with the star-laden Yankees, falters while hitting in the heart of the Tribe's lineup.

What will probably happen: Swisher turns in a good season, signs a lot of autographs, but isn't quite the difference-maker some thought he would be.

8. How much will we see Trevor Bauer and his much discussed pregame warm-up routines?

MLB Network on Tribe newcomers Bauer, Stubbs

Best case scenario: Bauer, who likes to play long toss at 400 feet on the days he starts, seizes the fifth spot in the rotation and delivers a solid season. Bauer's pre-game routine becomes the hottest thing in Cleveland since LeBron James threw talcum powder into the air.

Worst case scenario: All the problems Bauer had in Arizona, be they rumors or facts, follow him to Cleveland.

What will probably happen: Bauer will start at Class AAA Columbus. The Indians will promote him for a couple of spot starts and by the end of the season he'll be in their rotation.

9. Will Asdrubal Cabrera come to spring training in shape?

Best case scenario: Cabrera, who played winter ball in preparation for playing in the World Baseball Classic for Venezuela, reports to Goodyear, Ariz., lean and mean.

Worst case scenario: Cabrera comes to camp behind in his conditioning, gets injured trying to get ready for the WBC and opens on the disabled list.

What will probably happen: Cabrera, wanting to play well for his native country, and looking to impress teams interested in him for a midseason trade, has no problem with his weight or his conditioning at the start of camp.

10. Will Francona make a difference as manager?

Best case scenario: Over the last two years, the Indians have spent more days in first place than any other team in the AL Central. Francona takes that talent and leads the Tribe to a winning season.

Worst case scenario: This isn't Boston, where Francona managed 2004-11. The Indians don't have the money or the available talent to make sweeping changes at the trade deadline to improve the roster as they did in Boston.

What will probably happen: The Indians aren't going to the postseason, but Francona will win back the locker room and the team will improve if it can stay healthy.

Kyrie Irving jokes that he doesn't hanker for 3-point shooting advice from a former third-place finisher. Thus was born a personal 3-point duel with Byron Scott.

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott, right, congratulates point guard Kyrie Irving on making the NBA All-Star roster on Jan. 24 at the Greater Cleveland Sports Awards banquet at the Renaissance Hotel. But next Tuesday, the two get down to business with a 3-point contest after practice. John Kuntz, The Plain Dealer  

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Kyrie Irving will participate in the 3-point contest All-Star weekend, but the real challenge will come Tuesday after Cavaliers practice.

Irving. Byron Scott. It's on.

When Irving teased that he wouldn't take advice from his head coach on how to survive the 3-point contest because Scott never won in his two appearances in the competition, Scott retorted with his own challenge.

"Tuesday, I'm going to show him how it's done," Scott said.

The coach appeared in the 1987 and 1988 3-point competitions while he was a Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard, finishing third in 1988. Larry Bird won that year, but Scott's 11 3-pointers weren't far behind second-place Dale Ellis' 12 3-pointers in the semifinals. Trying to be kind to his young protege, Scott said he would help Irving get ready for this year's contest after he learned Thursday evening he would be a participant. Scott planned on telling Irving to take his time in the 60-second contest, to shoot set-shots instead of jumpers, and that he had to finish better than third.

Then Irving got sassy.

"I just think I've got to get advice from a first-place winner," Irving said, grinning wryly. "He came in third place. He told me that earlier. I just think I need advice from a first-place winner."

Irving was feisty about all topics before Thursday's game, in fact, and expressed disbelief that he was chosen third in the Rising Stars Challenge draft Tuesday evening. Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley, the general managers of the teams, weren't sure if Irving would play substantial minutes since he's also playing in the All-Star Game one day later.

"Yeah, I might go out and have 50 this time," said Irving, who scored 34 points last year as the MVP. "Honestly. I think they probably didn't think I was going to play. But now, being picked third, I definitely want to play. . . . I plan on playing starters' minutes."

Young star needs rest: On a more serious note, Irving's selection to the 3-point competition ensures that he'll remain busy throughout All-Star weekend.

"They're gonna run him ragged, there's no doubt about that," Scott said, adding he's not worried about Irving missing out on rest, however. For one reason: He's only 20.

"I know it's a lot, but I also look at him and say, 'He's 20 years old,'" Scott said. "It's not going to be that much. I think he'll be fine."

Even Irving said he was eager to embrace all that the NBA asked him to do in Houston.

"It's my first All-Star game so anything they throw at me I'm going to welcome it with full arms," Irving said. "Everybody else there has been picked multiple times, they're probably used to the process. But me, I'm a 20-year-old kid, so I'm going to enjoy it as much as possible."

A lonely Cavalier? Another quibble the Cavaliers had with the Rising Stars Challenge draft is that Tristan Thompson ended up as the lone Cavalier on Team Chuck. Irving, Dion Waiters and Tyler Zeller all are on Team Shaq.

"I am the lone wolf," Thompson said. "This always happens to me. I've always been the one who's the outcast. But you know, I got Ricky Rubio for point guard. We've got some good bigs. We're going to compete, and we're going to get this win."

Irving made sure to remind his teammate that he shouldn't try to attempt to block one of his shots, as he did in last year's contest.

Oden update: The Cavaliers are prepared to offer former Ohio State center Greg Oden a two-year deal with a team option for a third year after the trade deadline, the Akron Beacon Journal reported. Calls to Oden's agent were not returned, and per team policy, the Cavaliers would not comment on free agents.

The Plain Dealer has reported that Oden and the Cavaliers have expressed mutual interest. Oden's agent, Mike Conley Sr., told The Plain Dealer that "the Cavs are high on his list." Also believed to be in the running for Oden are Miami, San Antonio, New Orleans, Charlotte, Indiana and Dallas.

Plagued with knee problems, Oden has not played since 2009.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- As Glenville coach Renee Wright watched her team's lead against East Tech shrink in the fourth quarter Friday night, she knew what needed to change. Sophomore forward Latrice Legion needed to step up and lead the Tarblooders if they were going to stave off the Scarabs' comeback in the Senate League girls title game.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- As Glenville coach Renee Wright watched her team's lead against East Tech shrink in the fourth quarter Friday night, she knew what needed to change.

Sophomore forward Latrice Legion needed to step up and lead the Tarblooders if they were going to stave off the Scarabs' comeback in the Senate League girls title game.

During a late timeout, Legion told Wright she was prepared to do just that. "I've got you," Legion said. "Put it on my shoulders."

Legion delivered, scoring the final five points to give Glenville a 64-61 victory. The Tarblooders won their third straight Senate championship and fifth in seven years.

"It means a lot," Legion said. "We're on top of the throne and we're planning on keeping it that way."

With 33 seconds left, Legion converted a traditional three-point play, banking a layup off the glass and making the free throw to give the Tarblooders a one-point lead. She made two more free throws with 13 seconds left to seal the win.

Legion said she was relaxed standing at the line. "I had confidence in both of my free throws," she said. "I felt it. I felt the momentum. I believed in myself and I know my team did as well."

Senior guard Keesha Henderson, the Senate League's co-MVP, added 20 points and five rebounds.

Tied at 31 at half, Glenville opened the third quarter on a 12-3 run and had a 12-point edge going into the fourth quarter. But the Scarabs fought their way back and took a one-point lead with 58 seconds remaining when freshman guard Shantell Bostic stole an inbounds pass and quickly converted a layup.

But East Tech would score just one more point. Coach Melvin Burke said because of the Scarabs' youth, their late-game letdown didn't surprise him.

"The point differential was due to a lack of understanding the game and our basketball IQ," he said. "Our heart was there and our endurance and our pride was there, so we've got something to work with."

Bostic scored a game-high 32 points. "Our [senior leadership] is coming," Burke said. "Everybody comes back for us."

With the victory, Glenville became just the second girls team to win at least three consecutive Senate titles in the game's 36-year history. Only East Tech's six-year streak from 1998-2003 is longer.

Wright said each championship has been more difficult than the last.

"It gets harder because everyone comes at you harder," Wright said. "It's easier to come from the bottom to the top, but it's harder to stay at the top."

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Twenty years from now, Jimond Ivey will probably be still talking about the dunk. Because it was the kind of shot that every high-school player imagines from the first time he slammed a wad of paper into wastebasket. It not just a dunk, it's a rim-rattler and a game-changer.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Twenty years from now, Jimond Ivey will probably be still talking about the dunk.

Because it was the kind of shot that every high-school player imagines from the first time he slammed a wad of paper into wastebasket. It not just a dunk, it's a rim-rattler and a game-changer.

It's 20 seconds left, the ball in Ivey's hands. The rim was a dozen feet away, his team leading by a single, shaky point. It's one dribble, one long step, one flight of fantasy, and two hands hammering the ball through the rim.

It's not the only reason Glenville beat John F. Kennedy, 53-50, to win the Senate boys basketball championship, but it was the exclamation point. It was a 6-3 junior deciding, "It was time I did something."

It's a shot that turned all that sweat pouring down the pensive face of Glenville coach Michael Holt into a huge smile.

"I told our guys that we could stall, or we could get a good shot," said Holt.

Ivey delivered a great one, a no-doubter. Afterwards, he posed for cell phone pictures with friends. He seemed cool, not really sure what he did on the play.

"I just know I got up pretty high," he said.

High? You could say that. High enough to be picked up on the Hopkins Airport radar. High enough that no one was going to bring him back to the ground before the ball blasted through the net.

While it's fun to discuss the dunk, there were some many other heroes for Glenville in Friday's game in a packed John Adams gym. A 16-point scorer this season, Ivey had only five in the title game.

Glenville was led by senior Craig Eubanks, who had his season's average of 20 points. Eubanks is being recruited by several Division II schools.

Just as important was teammate Glenn Williams swishing two free throws with 17 seconds left, producing the final score.

Holt warned his players that the best was yet to come from JFK. The Eagles won the regular season and the Senate playoffs last season, but coach William Marrow lost four starters.

"They are still the champs," said Holt before the game. "They have a lot of kids who can play."

One is Donte' Lindsay, the lone returning starter from last season. He's averaging 16.5 points and has a 3.6 grade point average. He also is a left-handed pitcher who is being recruited by several Division I schools.

But Glenville held Lindsay without as field goal until 5:39 was left. Then Lindsay roared to the finish, nearly ambushing Glenville. He put 11 points next to his name.

Ra'mond Bell led JFK with 16 points. The Eagles' Ronnie Bell seemed determined to set a Senate record for power layups from the left baseline, putting the ball off the board with his right hand. He scored 13 points.

"I'm proud of our kids," said JFK coach William Marrow, whose team is 12-9. Glenville is 16-2 and ranked No. 14 in the Plain Dealer top 25.

Holt has had his team in this title game eight times in the last 10 years, and this is their third win.

"I really wanted this for the kids," he said. "They get a chance to play in a big game in front of a big crowd, and they came through. It's something they'll always remember."

Yes, they will, especially that Ivey dunk.

LAKEWOOD, Ohio -- If ever a statement was sent to the officials who set the postseason pairings for high-school basketball, St. Ignatius made it on Friday. Enjoying a second-half bonanza at the foul line and fighting off every challenge their arch-rival could muster, the Wildcats defeated host St. Edward, 71-67, in a game that could produce more than the...

LAKEWOOD, Ohio -- If ever a statement was sent to the officials who set the postseason pairings for high-school basketball, St. Ignatius made it on Friday.

Enjoying a second-half bonanza at the foul line and fighting off every challenge their arch-rival could muster, the Wildcats defeated host St. Edward, 71-67, in a game that could produce more than the obligatory bragging rights.

With the Division I pairings meetings set for Sunday, the victory in front of a standing-room-only crowd of 2,005 made a strong case for a possible top seed in the sectional tournament at Solon.

While the field is loaded with Shaker Heights, Garfield Heights, Cleveland Heights and Senate champion Glenville, no one other than the Wildcats (13-3) can claim two victories over St. Edward (16-5) this season. The win marked the first time since 2004-05 that St. Ignatius swept St. Edward. It came with the Wildcats making 24 of 33 free throws to 12-of-17 for the Eagles.

"Not many teams can come to Detroit Avenue and win," said St. Ignatius coach Sean O'Toole, when asked if the victory -- coupled with losses by Garfield Heights and Shaker Heights this week -- should clinch the coveted top seed. "I'm proud of the way our guys played. We'll see what happens on Sunday."

While the Eagles are virtually assured of getting the top seed in the Brecksville tournament, coach Eric Flannery was not thrilled with his team's performance.

"I thought they wanted the game more than we did, from beginning to end," he said of St. Ignatius. "They just played with a sense of urgency and our guys waited for something to happen, for someone to take charge. It never happened. I was disappointed with that."

Playing their fifth game without senior Alec Papesch and for the first time since Jan. 27, the Wildcats, ranked third in The Plain Dealer Top 25, led from start to finish.

Junior Eric Black, taking the minutes created by Papesch's broken wrist, led the team with 19 points and 11 rebounds. The 6-6 forward got six rebounds and eight points in the fourth quarter, preventing the Eagles' comeback after falling behind by 12 points.

"It was a fun experience," said Black. "In this environment there is no better place to play in Cleveland," he said, "We just had to come in here, play within ourselves and everyone fulfilled their roles."

Senior guard Francisco Santiago was dominant in the second half, scoring 13 of his 15 points over the final 16 minutes, including 10 of the Wildcats' 22 third-quarter points. He also did an admirable job of guarding his cousin, Tony Vuyancih.

"He is one of their top scorers," Santiago said. "I take pride in that coach gives me the responsibility to lock down one of their best players. It was team defense. There were times he beat me but the help was always there, so it was really a team defense."

Senior Derek Sloan finished with 11 points and six rebounds and junior Kyle Berger had nine points, five rebounds and three steals.

Several others also contributed. Seniors Austin Sterpka and Bryan Fisher and junior David Black -- Eric's twin brother -- combined for 14 points and eight rebounds. Sophomore Jaylin McDonald's one basket was a 3-pointer that helped the Wildcats extend their lead to 28-21 in the second period.

The Eagles, ranked second in The Plain Dealer, seemed out of sync. Forward Tim Stainbrook led everyone with 20 points, sophomore Kipper Nichols had 12 and Marsalis Hamilton had eight.

Milliner is regarded by most talent scouts as the premier cornerback in the draft. Whatever the Browns' base defense is, they'd like to strengthen the linebacking unit. More links to mock drafts.

The 32 first-round picks will be made on Friday, April 25. The Cleveland Browns, barring a trade, own the sixth pick in round one.

Second- and third-round picks will be made on April 26 and fourth- through seventh-rounders will be picked on April 27.

The Browns don't have a second-round selection. They gave that up in order to acquire wide receiver Josh Gordon in the supplemental draft last summer.

Mock draft season has begun, though there will be continuous back-and-forth over the next 2 1/2 months. The scouting combine in Indianapolis, Pro Days on college campuses and individual workouts -- among other factors -- will change minds and secure decisions.

The Browns have a fine cornerback on one side in Joe Haden, but Sheldon Brown, who has been the other starter, turns 34 on March 19, can become an unrestricted free agent and may well not be in the Browns' plans.

So, considering the Browns' circumstances, a mock draft on NFL.com by Daniel Jeremiah has Cleveland using the sixth pick in the first round to draft Alabama cornerback Dee Milliner, who just completed his junior season, helping the Crimson Tide win its second straight national championship.

Jeremiah's comment:

The Browns could go in a number of different directions with this pick. The previous regime was sky high on Oregon linebacker Dion Jordan, but I have the current leadership electing to solidify the cornerback position. The AFC North has quietly evolved into a passing division, and Milliner would join Joe Haden to form an excellent coverage duo in Cleveland.

Jarvis Jones, outside linebacker from Georgia, is Cleveland's first-round selection. (Football Dialogue)

Also, from Rob Rang for CBSSports.com, at No. 6, the Browns select:

Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia: While the Browns finished last in the AFC North for the second consecutive year (and fourth time in the past five years), Cleveland boasts a roster ripe with young talent, including at the skill positions for head coach Rob Chudzinski and offensive coordinator Norv Turner to develop. As such, the team could be in the market for a dynamic pass rusher to fit new defensive coordinator Ray Horton's 3-4 scheme. Only concerns about Jones' health (he was diagnosed with spinal stenosis in 2009) could push him down the board, as the 6-2, 240-pound outside linebacker was a dominant force for the Georgia Bulldogs, leading the SEC in tackles for loss (24.5), sacks (14.5) and forced fumbles (seven).

Four spots, probably, are set in the rotation, with at least five contenders vying to complete it. Indians' late-inning relief pitching should be good again. More Indians story links.

View full size Carlos Carrasco is one of the candidates for what is probably the lone remaining spot in the Indians' starting pitching rotation. Chuck Crow, The Plain Dealer  

Then, on Feb. 22 -- three weeks from today -- the Indians will open their exhibition season schedule against the Cincinnati Reds, the team they share the Goodyear Ballpark facility with.

The Indians open their 2013 season on Tuesday, April 2 in Toronto against the Blue Jays, and play their home opener on Monday, April 8 against the New York Yankees.

Plain Dealer and cleveland.com Indians coverage includes Paul Hoynes' 10 key questions for this season's Indians; his report that the Indians have named Steve Lubratich director of pro scouting; his report on the release of the Indians' TV schedule, with 161 of 162 games being televised; Hoynes' spring training preview of the Indians' starting rotation; an Indians season preview roundtable video including Hoynes and Plain Dealer reporter Dennis Manoloff.

Steve Orbanek, writing for Indians Baseball Insider, presents five questions for the 2013 Indians. Among them is, "Who will be the fifth starter?" He writes:

We already know that the top three starters will be Justin Masterson, Ubaldo Jimenez and Brett Myers. While Zach McAllister has not yet been named the fourth starter, it can pretty much be concluded that he will open the season with a spot in the rotation. Outside of those four players, Scott Kazmir, Corey Kluber, Trevor Bauer, Carlos Carrasco and David Huff will be competing for the fifth starter’s spot. Much of this competition will boil down to how the Indians decide they want to use Bauer and Carrasco. Carrasco is coming off of Tommy John surgery, so his workload will be heavily monitored this season, but there has been no indication as to how the team plans to monitor it. Will they start Carrasco off in extended spring training, or will he start the season with the Indians and then be shut down sometime in late summer? The answer to that question will determine how likely Carrasco is to earn a spot in the rotation. Also, the Indians need to decide if they believe Bauer could use more seasoning at the Triple-A level.

The Magic lost their 12th game in a row, and Cleveland snapped a 10-game losing streak to Orlando.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - The surest sign that the Cavaliers have turned a corner in the rebuilding process is not that they are winning games, as they did again Friday night in triumphing 119-108 over the Orlando Magic at The Q.

No, the greatest clue is that the win is no longer enough. Not even when the Cavaliers sent Orlando to its 12th consecutive loss, not even when they stuck to what is becoming a fairly standard victory formula of keeping the game close, allowing what is now a strong second unit to build a cushion, then leaving the fourth quarter to Kyrie Irving.

No longer content with mere victories, the Cavaliers shrugged off their third win a row, their sixth win in the past eight games as they improved to 16-34.

"My bad," Cavaliers coach Byron Scott said. "I'm probably supposed to be real thrilled. But my expectations of us as a team are a little bit higher than 11-11 in the last 22 games. Don't get me wrong, we're headed in the right direction."

Against the Magic it took a bit of a sputtering start to find the correct path. Not until a third quarter in which Irving led the way with eight points, three rebounds and one assist, with Tristan Thompson chipping in with six, did the Cavaliers begin to close the gap on the Magic.

Until then, Orlando dominated inside, led by Nikola Vucevic's career-high 25 points and 13 rebounds. In the first half, Orlando outrebounded Cleveland, 23-13, as Vucevic and rookie Andrew Nicholson took control of the interior.

"Their bigs were killing us tonight," Scott said.

Despite the high-scoring affair, it was actually a defensive play that sparked the Cavaliers most. After Cleveland finally had taken an 81-80 lead with 1:50 left, small forward Alonzo Gee swiped a pass from E'Twaun Moore, sprinted down the court and slammed down a monstrous dunk.

It was part of a 13-0 run that gave the Cavaliers just enough cushion. The veteran second unit held the lead in the early fourth quarter, with Wayne Ellington knocking in nine points, Marreese Speights adding eight, and Irving hitting two key jumpers when Orlando was making one last push to control the game.

"We're not doing anything too special," Ellington said of the second unit. "We're not doing anything out of the ordinary. We're just playing our game and helping each other on the defensive end. We're giving 100-percent effort."

There still was plenty to nitpick afterward, chief among them the high score and the Magic's 52 percent shooting. In seven games before Friday night, the Cavaliers had allowed opponents to average 103.7 points per game, while managing 105.4 points per game of their own.

"It's a good win, but I'd still like to get that defensive percentage lower than it was tonight," Scott said.

But there are signs that the win still was a good one, a solid one in this rebuilding. There was a slick driving layup from Irving early in the third quarter in which his up-and-under move faked out all of Orlando. There was Dion Waiters with another sharp shooting night, hitting 6 of 10 shots for 15 points.

And there was the fact that the Cavaliers players, at least, seemed upbeat and happy -- even if the coach wasn't.

"Coming to work every day is fun," Irving admitted.

The most fun he's had since coming to the Cavaliers?

"I don't really think about the dark days," Irving said, grinning. "I don't remember them."

With three games this week, two at home, the Cleveland State Vikings mens basketball team can start taking steps toward realizing coach Gary Waters' goal of hosting a Horizon League Tournament game.

View full size Cleveland State's Marlin Mason, left, has started to assert himself offensively in the past five games for the Vikings. Lonnie Timmons III, The Plain Dealer  

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- This is a big week for Cleveland State (12-13, 4-7 Horizon League) if the Vikings hope to do the two things coach Gary Waters charted for this month: finish strong and earn a first-round home game in the conference tournament.

So far, CSU is 2-1 for the month. The Vikings play at Detroit on Tuesday, then have home games against Green Bay on Friday and Milwaukee on Sunday. Cleveland State already owns a home win against Detroit, and has lost at Green Bay and Milwaukee.

The Vikings, who struggled to score 55 points through January, have started to roll this month, with 6-6 sophomore Marlin Mason a key component.

Mason (8.8 points, 5.8 rebound per game) had been redshirted last season until injuries forced him into action. The athletic high-flier has scored 10, 22 and 16 points off the bench in three of his past five games, including 16 in CSU's 80-72 loss to Valparaiso on Saturday.

Said Waters: "Marlin is going to be a small forward for us. That was the original plan. We drifted away from that a little this season, but that is what we are going to do."

The Vikings are currently seventh in the nine-team league. To land a league tournament home game, CSU would have to finish at least sixth. That spot is currently held by Illinois-Chicago (14-10, 5-6), a team CSU has defeated twice this season. Valparaiso (19-6, 9-2) is in first place with a two-game lead on Wright State (17-8, 8-4) and Detroit (16-9, 8-4).

MAC's RPI history: For those considering that both Akron (19-4, 10-0) and Ohio University (17-6, 8-1) can make the MAC a two-bid league this season, there's good news and bad news.

According to data from RPIRatings.com dating to 1993, the MAC has never ranked among the top 10 conferences in the nation. The general belief is that it's almost impossible to land two teams in the NCAA Tournament if a league ranks outside the top 10.

However, the MAC has ranked No. 11 four times (1997, 1999, 2002, 2005) and No. 12 four times (1995, 2000, 2003, 2008). This data indicate several things. No. 1, the peak of MAC basketball came between 1997 and 2005. Six times in that span, the MAC was a top-12 league or better, and twice (1998, 1999) it had two NCAA Tournament teams.

No. 2, in most of those years, the MAC had five or six teams ranked in the top 100 in the nation. The only time it had two teams ranked inside the top 30 RPI teams during the same season was 1999 with Miami (21) and Kent (23).

The only other MAC teams to finish the regular season with an RPI inside the top 30 were the Kent teams in 2002 and 2008. Both times, the Golden Flashes won the MAC Tournament and the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, and no MAC team got an at-large bid. The highest-ranked MAC team at the end of the regular season not invited to the NCAA Tournament was Kent in 2000, with an RPI of 36.

But in 1998, the MAC was ranked No. 14 in RPI as a conference, and its top two RPI teams were Eastern Michigan (60) and Western Michigan (58). EMU won the MAC Tournament and WMU was selected as an at-large team. The RPI ratings For Akron and OU after Saturday's games are 54 and 85, respectively.

BracketBusters key: There is a precedent for the MAC getting two teams into the NCAA Tournament out of a bad league, albeit 15 years ago. The MAC's current conference RPI is 17, but BracketBusters weekend on Feb. 23-24 is a chance for the league to improve its rating as there is not much separating the leagues ranked 14th through 17th. Another plus, particularly for Akron, is that former Zips Athletic Director Mike Bobinski is chairman of the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee. Bobinski is now AD at Georgia Tech, which means that during the selection process, he won't have to leave the room during voting on the Zips.

The veterans join a group trying to impress new manager Terry Francona during training camp in Goodyear, Ariz. Watch video

Goodyear, Ariz. -- To Indians manager Terry Francona, a spring training roster is divided into three groups. The Indians' 64-man roster is no different.

Group 1 consists of players who have job security and are in camp to prepare for the 162-game regular season. Justin Masterson, Ubaldo Jimenez, Carlos Santana, Asdrubal Cabrera, Mark Reynolds, Nick Swisher, Michael Brantley and Jason Kipnis are among them.

Group 2 is made up of prospects from the farm system who are in camp to learn all they can about the big leagues before they are sent to the minors to start their seasons. It includes Danny Salazar, Trey Haley, T.J. House, Juan Diaz, Tim Fedroff, Giovanni Soto, Roberto Perez and Jesus Aguilar.

Group 3 contains players who must treat spring training as the regular season. They have come to camp for one reason -- to make the big-league club. Scott Kazmir, Matt Capps, Rich Hill, Matt LaPorta, Ben Francisco and Ryan Raburn are some of them.

In the past two days, two more names have been added to Group 3 -- Jason Giambi and right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka. Giambi came to terms on a minor-league deal Saturday night. Matsuzaka, pending a physical, agreed to a minor-league deal Sunday morning. Giambi, 42, will earn a base salary of $750,000 if he makes the club. Matsuzaka will make $1.5 million, with incentives that could boost the deal to $4 million if he makes the final 25-man roster.

"Giambi will come in and compete to make the team," said General Manager Chris Antonetti. "He's an experienced, left-handed bat with power. He's universally respected throughout the game, not only for his accomplishments on the field, but for the teammate he is and the leader he's evolved into."

If Giambi makes the club, it will be as a part-time DH and pinch hitter.

Antonetti and Francona wouldn't talk about Matsuzaka since he still has to pass his physical. Francona managed Matsuzaka in Boston, and the move has been discussed in the Tribe's front office for the past couple of months.

Matsuzaka, 32, will be competing for the fourth or fifth spot in the rotation. He underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in 2011 and went 1-7 with an 8.28 ERA in 11 starts with the Red Sox last season. Matsuzaka, one of the top pitchers in Japanese history, is 50-37 in the big leagues.

Masterson, Jimenez and Brett Myers own three spots in the rotation. Zach McAllister comes to camp favored to win the fourth, but the fifth job is wide open. Carlos Carrasco, Trevor Bauer, Corey Kluber, David Huff, Scott Kazmir and Matsuzaka are the leading candidates.

"Right now, our starting rotation represents opportunity," Antonetti said. "I think we have some very talented guys. They all have a different story to tell. Some are older guys looking to bounce back, others are younger guys looking to take a step forward, and we're going to have some competition for the last two spots."

Francona feels Antonetti has added enough veteran arms to make sure none of the Indians young starters gets a free pass into the rotation.

"We want our young guys to do well," he said. "We also want them to earn it. We want them to knock the door down and claim a spot. I think we're in a position for that to happen."

Indians pitchers and catchers reported to Goodyear on Sunday. They will undergo physicals today and meet with Antonetti and Francona. Their first workout is Tuesday.

"Every day, I get a little more excited," Francona said. "I'm going to put my uniform on for the first time [today]. I've already put on my hat about 1,000 times."

Francona said besides making the playoffs, spring training is the best part of the season.

"I love spring training," he said. "Everybody is upbeat. The glass is supposed to be half full. You get to set the tone for exactly what you want to do."

Shortstop Cabrera has apparently given Francona another reason to love spring training. Cabrera, whose conditioning has been questioned during the past two years, has come to camp slim and trim.

"All of the reports have been very favorable," Antonetti said. "If he's not in the best shape he's ever reported in, he's close to it."

BROOKLYN, Ohio -- Solon did it the hard way After watching a four-goal lead evaporate in a matter of minutes in the third period, the Comets found enough resolution to knock off favored Orange in overtime, 6-5, to win their first Baron Cup II hockey tournament on Sunday at the Coyne Recreation Center in Brooklyn.

BROOKLYN, Ohio -- Solon did it the hard way

After watching a four-goal lead evaporate in a matter of minutes in the third period, the Comets found enough resolution to knock off favored Orange in overtime, 6-5, to win their first Baron Cup II hockey tournament on Sunday at the Coyne Recreation Center in Brooklyn.

Freshman defenseman Ben Peterson notched the winner when he sent home the rebound of a shot by fellow freshman Zach Mandry at 5:23 of the extra session. It capped a week that saw the eighth-seeded Comets (11-13-1) defeat the top two seeds.

It was also Solon's first win in four games this season against the No. 2-seeded Lions (24-6), who showed plenty of fortitude in coming back from a 5-1 deficit.

"We had nothing to lose," said Peterson, who had an apparent game-winning goal waved off five seconds before the one that counted. "I was kind of bummed [about the no goal], but I knew we had a good chance to win."

The Comets' chances looked great when they scored three goals in the second period, senior sparkplug Sam Littman scoring twice on big hustle efforts for the big lead.

But the Lions, who ruled in the White East Division of the Greater Cleveland High School Hockey League, put on tons of pressure as freshman Brandon Gottlieb and senior Cory Bonda scored before senior Chad Sonkin scored twice, the second one tying the game with three minutes left in regulation.

"Four goals seems insurmountable," said Orange coach Rob Whidden. "You can't tell them that. I told them get one goal and we'll worry about the next one. They plugged away and plugged away and it showed in the third period."

Still, the Comets did not let matters get away from them as they hung tough when it appeared to be slipping away.

"We told our guys before the third they were coming out at us," said Solon first-year coach Mike Stephens. "We had to make a push because they were going to come back. I told them to take a breath and relax. These boys came together."

Both Solon senior goaltender Kyle Peterson and Orange sophomore Greg Russell were credited with 28 saves.

Baron Cup I

St. Ignatius 4, Shaker Heights 1 Forced to go into five overtimes on Saturday in a win against University School, the last thing the Wildcats needed was another marathon affair. They made sure that didn't happen as they rallied from a slow start to defeat the Raiders in the Baron Cup I title game for the second straight year.

After senior Jacob Shick put the Raiders in front in the first period, the Wildcats (27-5-3), ranked No. 1 in the state, tied it on a goal by senior Joe Malone at the start of the second period. Two minutes into the third, sophomore Matty Geither came up with the big play when he collected a loose puck at the Shaker blue line and converted on a breakaway against senior goaltender Eric Sterin.

"I wasn't thinking about anything but going to the net," said Geither. "[Saturday night's] game was really tiring. The second period we picked it up for a good team effort."

The Wildcats cemented things when senior Miles McQuinn scored off a pass from junior Beck Schultz with 4:06 to play and McQuinn scored into an empty net at the finish.

"It took a period to get going," said St. Ignatius coach Pat O'Rourke "We changed up a few things and jump-started the kids."

Shaker Heights (22-7) came in ranked No. 5 in the state and was seeking its first Baron Cup title since 2001. It was the Raiders' third loss this season to the Wildcats.

Baron Cup III

North Canton Hoover 4, Mayfield 3, OT A week after losing to the Wildcats by a 5-2 count, the Vikings (24-7) turned the tables as they won their first Baron Cup III title in stirring fashion. Sophomore defenseman Alex Zielke netted the winner seven minutes into the first overtime when he drilled home a wrist shot after collecting a loose puck just to the left of Mayfield goaltender Danny Wilson.

"I was trying to get it on net and I wanted to go top shelf," said Zielke. "There is no better feeling after they beat us by three."

The back-and-forth contest was tied midway through the second period, 2-2, with Mayfield getting goals by sophomore Paul Jablonski and junior John Schrieber. Hoover sophomore Zach Lawson put the Vikings in front with his second goal of the game for a 3-2 lead. It was Lawson's seventh goal in three tournament games.

The Wildcats (21-10-2) evened it with 7:01 to play in regulation when senior defenseman Dominic Horvath scored on a power play.

Mayfield had won two of the past three Baron Cup III tournaments.

"We worked our tails off but didn't get the bounces," said Mayfield coach Steve Bogas. "We didn't capitalize on a few mistakes they made and they did on a few of our mistakes."

Both of Hoover's goals in the second period came on unassisted goals by Lawson and senior captain Brad Harcourt, both players hustling through the Mayfield defense.

"This is the first time we've won after the first round," said Harcourt. "We wanted to play them again. We were confident they would be in the final we thought we could beat them."

That's just what happened.

St. Vincent-St. Mary's Parris Campbell, Lancaster offensive lineman Kyle Trout and Michigan's Lawrence Marshall all pledged to the Buckeyes today.

COLUMBUS - Urban Meyer and five Ohio State assistants were watching from the sidelines when St. Vincent-St. Mary's Parris Campbell ran for 168 yards and three touchdowns in the Irish's 41-21 state title victory over Bellevue in December.

Along with everyone else, the Buckeyes obviously liked what they saw. So on Sunday, just four days after Meyer said “we're already knee deep in '14 players,” when speaking at Wednesday's National Signing Day for the 2013 class, the Buckeyes offered what they liked.

That included Campbell, and the SVSM junior was one of three members of the Class of 2014 who gave oral commitments to the Buckeyes on Sunday, as reported by BuckeyeGrove.com and other outlets.

Lancaster offensive lineman Kyle Trout and Southfield (Mich.) defensive Lawrence Marshall joined Campbell in making a pledge. That brings Ohio State's 2014 Class to five players, as they joined Glenville lineman Marcelys Jones and Detroit Cass Tech defensive back Damon Webb.

Trout, a 6-foot-6, 280-pound offensive lineman, is a big grab because the Buckeyes signed just two offensive lineman on Wednesday and they need to bulk up that part of the roster with four senior starters on the line for 2013.

Marshall is a 6-foot-4, 205-pound defensive end.

And Campbell, a 5-foot-11, 170-pound running back from Akron, is a blur. He didn't have an OSU offer before the title game, but he obviously made an impression.
“I wasn't on their radar at all. I hope he did [notice],”Campbell said of Meyer. “I gave him a look a couple times. Hopefully, I am on their radar now. I'd love it.”

Meyer said Wednesday the Buckeyes got a later start on the 2013 class after his hiring following the 2011 season. Ohio State seems ahead of schedule. A year ago at this time, the Buckeyes had two pledges. After signing 24 players this year, the 2014 class is expected to be smaller, with just 14 seniors and a couple juniors who could turn pro early. A class of maybe 18 is a reasonable guess.

Even after her son was finished playing basketball at Ohio State, Emily Lighty stayed in contact with the Buckeyes basketball team.

The mother of former Buckeyes player and Villa Angela-St. Joseph grad David Lighty died on Saturday night after battling an illness. Despite her son's graduation in 2011 after five years in the program, Emily Lighty stayed around the Buckeyes last season, telling The Plain Dealer: "That group of guys was the best, most sweet and respectful and kindest group of young men of all the years I was there. I became pretty fond of all of them."

The feeling was with mutual, with many players referring to her as "Mama Lighty."

"She was always there smiling, she was always rooting for the entire team, having a blast," Ohio State junior Aaron Craft said Sunday. "Dave was definitely a momma's kid. You could see it. He just always dreamed about doing everything for his mom."

David Lighty posted a photo on his Twitter account of a necklace of Buckeyes hanging on the same metal hospital pole holding his mother's IV lines.

"She will forever be a Buckeye," David Lighty wrote. "She had to have them with her. . . . Great woman."

The Chud Era will begin this year in Cleveland as Rob Chudzinski takes over as Cleveland Browns head coach. Do not confuse this era with ...

Rob Chudzinski, right, Cleveland Browns head coach. Norv Turner is to the left. Chuck Crow, Plain Dealer file  

Hat's off to The Chud Era, to be ushered in this year. Not to be confused with eras of similar names . . .

Bud -- The beer sold at Cleveland Browns home games, often in sorrow-drowning proportions.

Budd -- As in Zola, the barefoot South African runner who collided with Mary Decker in the 1984 Olympics.

"C.H.U.D." -- Stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. Surprisingly, the 1984 movie is not based on Oakland Raider fans.

Fudd -- As in Elmer, the shotgun-toting, speech-impaired, anti-rabbit Looney Tune. Here's hoping Rob doesn't match Elmer's record of futility.

Rudd -- As in Paul, the comedic actor from "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "This Is 40" and other films.

Pud -- As in Galvin, a 19th-century pitcher in the Hall of Fame with 365 wins. Unfortunately, many of them came in Pittsburgh.

Jud -- As in Heathcote, the former Michigan State University basketball coach. He has a national title among his 400-plus victories.

Mudd -- As in Samuel or Roger. The former made the news; the latter read the news.

Hud -- As in the title character played by Shaker Heights native Paul Newman in the 50-year-old movie.

"There Will Be Blood" -- The 2007 oil-and-greed movie title could be the perfect theme for an NFL game.

Dud -- Whom we hope the Browns don't draft.

Stud -- Whom we hope the Browns draft.

Thud -- How we hope Chudzinski doesn't land.
