Sports this weekend: Super Bowl and a lot of other stuff

Your sports weekend begins tonight at TD Banknorth Garden, where the Boston Celtics have the chance to make history by losing their 14th straight game, which would eclipse the franchise record from 10 years ago. Tonight's opponent: the Los Angeles Clippers (23-22). Funny, I remember the days when this matchup seemed like a sure win for Boston. Catch the game, if you dare, beginning at 7:30 on Fox Sports New England.

Here in Providence, the P-Bruins are hosting the Portland Pirates at The Dunk at 7. And at the Brown men's basketball team (1-3 Ivy League; 6-13 overall) hosts former coach Glen Miller and the Penn Quakers (2-0, 11-7). The game begins at 7 at the Pizzitola Center.

Sticking to the men's college hoops theme: URI and Fordham are in a three-way tie (with George Washington) for first place in the Atlantic 10, and Cox Sports Network will show their matchup tomorrow in New York, beginning at 12 noon. The PC Friars (4-3 Big East; 14-6 overall) will be in Milwaukee to take on Marquette (6-2; 19-4) at 2 p.m. tomorrow. The game is not on TV. But Cox Sports will show the Friars men's hockey team in action at Vermont beginning at 7. Projo.com's College Hoops Blog will post the results of the URI and PC basketball games as soon as they end.

The fightin' Boston Bruins return to the road on Saturday night to face the Carolina Hurricanes at 8:30.

Oh yeah, I think there's a football game on Sunday night too. Supe XLI begins at 6:25 on Channel 12. The pregame shows have probably already started. NFL.com promises us that anything can happen.
