Stanford, the only non-SEC school among the top seven, figures to score 32 points, good for third overall. Florida (27) and defending indoor champion Tennessee (26) hold the fourth and fifth place positions, just ahead of South Carolina and Mississippi State, which are tied for sixth with 24 points.

The TCU men's team opened the season ranked in a tie for seventh with 22 points.

Calhoun expected full recovery from surgery
FARMINGTON, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut basketball coach Jim Calhoun had his cancerous prostate removed Thursday, and a full recovery is expected.

The 60-year-old coach will be released from the hospital this weekend and will be able to resume coaching in three-to-four weeks, Dr. Peter Albertsen said.

Albertsen, Calhoun’s urologist, said there were no problems during surgery at John Dempsey Hospital.

“Coach Calhoun’s cancer appears to be confined to his prostate,” Albertsen said.

The coach was diagnosed with cancer Friday, and doctors said they caught the disease early.

Dallas tries to stop trend lead earlier
DALLAS (AP) — While Dallas has lost just once in its last 17 games, the Stars are concerned with how they’ve avoided the losses.

They keep having to come from behind.

Dallas has given up the first goal in seven of the last eight games, and 10 of 13. In eight of the last 16 games, the Stars have gone into the third period trailing before managing at least a tie.

“It is definitely a disturbing trend,” said Stars winger Scott Young said. “Giving up leads like that has got to stop.”
