Week Ahead

WEDNESDAY 2/21
Accenture Match Play Championship
When will they meet again? Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have only played the same event once this year: the Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines, where Woods won and Mickelson tied for 51st. They'll both be at the Gallery Golf Club in Marana, Ariz. , for the 64-man tourney (call it February Frenzy), but it'll take some work for them to face off. The No. 1 seeds can't meet until the semis, and getting there could be tough—especially for Mickelson . His bracket includes Sergio Garc�a and Ernie Els .

SI PICK OF THE WEEK

THURSDAY 2/22
War of Words
The smack talk between Miami and Dallas started early, with volleys from two unlikely sources—and one very likely one. In the preseason, mellow Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki (right) proclaimed that Dallas handed the Heat the 2006 NBA title. Miami 's soft-spoken superstar, Dwyane Wade (left), shot back, saying, "[Nowitzki's] the reason they lost the championship." Then Dallas owner Mark Cuban (naturally) chimed in, blogging that Wade had "an overinflated value" of his own leadership skills. The Mavs, who host tonight, won the first matchup this season—but Miami was without an injured Shaq , who's now healthy. TNT 9:30 p.m.

SUNDAY 2/25
Auto Club 500
Toyota 's NASCAR debut left a bit to be desired. None of its four cars finished better than 22nd in the season-opening Daytona 500 (page 46), including the one driven by Michael Waltrip (right). After being penalized 100 points for using a fuel-boosting additive during qualifying, Waltrip finished 30th. He'll have his hands full trying to rebound in Fontana ; he finished 36th in last year's race. Fox 3 p.m.

Wisconsin at Ohio State
Who's No. 1? They both are. The Badgers are atop the AP poll, while the coaches have the Buckeyes No. 1. They'll settle the matter in Columbus . In their first meeting last month Wisconsin 's Alando Tucker scored 17 points while the Badgers' defense held Ohio State freshman Greg Oden to 10 points and seven rebounds. Another reason to like Wisconsin in the rematch: The Badgers have won all three games they have played this season against ranked opponents. CBS 4 p.m.

TUESDAY 2/27
On Sale: The Heart of the Game DVD
It took director Ward Serrill seven years to complete, but the wait was worth it. The gripping Heart—named by SI as one of the best sports films of 2006—follows the tumultuous girls basketball team at Seattle 's Roosevelt High and its endearingly eccentric coach, college tax professor Bill Resler.

On Sale: Taking Shots
Agents deal with players, coaches and management on a regular basis, making them some of the most plugged-in people in sports. In his first book—which is insightful and at times very funny—agent Keith Glass offers his thoughts on topics including why teams are willing to throw millions at marginal talent and why U.S. pros have trouble bringing home gold.
