<p>With the BMW Championship heading into the weekend, Vijay Singh currently sits atop the leaderboard at 13 under par. Singh is a popular golfer and a bit of a fan favorite, but it's fair to say that fans are paying quite a bit of attention to who's behind him - Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.</p>
<p>Along with Ryan Moore, Woods and McIlroy are sitting at -12, leaving the trio only one stroke behind Singh. Woods finished his second round on Friday with two birdies to keep pace with McIlroy and Moore. Lee Westwood and Indiana native Bo Van Pelt both come in tied for fifth with both currently sitting at 11 under par.</p>
<p>Due to thunderstorms in the area this weekend, the second round was played early on Friday and play on Saturday will be pushed back. Play will take place via groups of three due to the scheduling change. NBC's coverage will kick off at noon and action on the Golf Channel will start at 3:30 p.m. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/r028/tee-times.html">Tee times and groupings can be found here</a>.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.federalbaseball.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Washington Nationals</a> dropped the opening game of a weekend three-game series to the <a href="https://www.thegoodphight.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Philadelphia Phillies</a> on Friday night, 4-2.</p>
<p>For the Nats, things could be even worse as outfielder <span>Michael Morse</span> suffered an injury when he was hit by a pitch. He exited the game and his status for the remainder of the series isn't currently known.</p>
<p>Starting pitcher <span>Edwin Jackson</span> pitched fairly well for the Nationals, giving up three runs in six innings of work. <span>Tyler Moore</span> entered as a pinch hitter and hit and two-run homer for Jackson in the seventh, but it wasn't enough. Philadelphia was supported by a strong start from <span>Kyle Kendrick</span>, who gave up only two runs in 6 2/3 innings. He was then picked up by a large bullpen effort as six relievers came in to pitch scoreless ball the rest of the way.</p>
<p>The Nats will try to get back on track Saturday, when <span>Gio Gonzalez</span> is scheduled to face <span>Roy Halladay</span>.</p>

<p>A major preseason college basketball tournament is on track for 2017 and the Hoyas are in the mix.</p> <p>We haven't even gotten to the 2012-13 college basketball season yet, but the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/georgetown-hoyas">Georgetown Hoyas</a> are already <a target="_blank" href="http://www.theuconnblog.com/2012/8/17/3249671/uconn-agrees-to-play-in-massive-nike-basketball-tournament">being included in plans</a> for a massive preseason tournament set to get underway in 2017. The Hoyas will reportedly take part along with the Big East rival <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/connecticut-huskies">Connecticut Huskies</a>, according to <a href="http://www.theuconnblog.com/2012/8/17/3249671/uconn-agrees-to-play-in-massive-nike-basketball-tournament">The UConn Blog</a>. According to the blog, the field appears to be set:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The tournament will be held in Portland, Ore. during November 2017 and feature two eight-team brackets. The other fifteen schools who have agreed to play are:</p>
<p>• Kentucky (SEC)<br>• Florida (SEC)<br>• Michigan State (Big Ten)<br>• Ohio State (Big Ten)<br>• Duke (ACC)<br>• North Carolina (ACC)<br>• Georgetown (Big East)<br>• Texas (Big 12)<br>• Oklahoma (Big 12)<br>• Stanford (Pac-12)<br>• Oregon (Pac-12)<br>• Xavier (A-10)<br>• Butler (A-10)<br>• Gonzaga (WCC)<br>• Portland (WCC)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>We're used to seeing preseason NCAA tournaments, but usually not with this many teams. Throw in the fact that it's a field full of heavyweights and this will generate all sorts of excitement if it goes down. Just like the NCAAs, however, be ready to hear teams complaining about being left out of the mix.</p>
