"I think it's awesome to have the record," Revel said in a news release. "I am proud of myself, the team and the coaches. ... It is definitely big to get the shutout."

George recognized by SI
Fresno State basketball player Paul George was named among the most entertaining players in the West region and the eighth most entertaining player in college basketball by Sports Illustrated.
George, a sophomore, caught the attention of SI.com's Luke Winn with his dunking ability.
"His posterizing of St. Mary's guard Mickey McConnell was one of last season's top-five dunks -- as was his slam over two Sacramento State players in the previous game," Winn said. "Even the YouTube coverage of George's practice dunks -- of which there are a few -- are extremely entertaining."
Last year, George averaged 14.3 points, a team-high 6.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and a team-high 1.7 steals per game and shot 47% from the field. His 44.6% on 3-pointers (63 of 141) ranks third best all-time in Bulldogs history.
