LINCOLNTON, Ga. (AP) — Sheriff's officials say a Tennessee Titans tight end has been arrested in a roll-over drunken driving crash in eastern Georgia.

A Lincoln County Sheriff's report says 23-year-old Brandon Barden lost control of a truck carrying two other passengers on Feb. 23 and crashed into a ditch in Lincolnton — about 35 miles northwest of Augusta. The report says the truck flipped and landed on its side.

Deputies say they spoke with Barden after the accident and smelled a strong odor of alcohol. Barden refused to do a sobriety test and was taken to the sheriff's office, where he again refused to take a sobriety test.

Barden lives in Lincolnton and played for Vanderbilt University. He was drafted in 2012.

He was charged with DUI and failure to maintain lane.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The surging Memphis Grizzlies are about to face their toughest stretch of the season.

The team that had the NBA's best start this season heads into March winners of eight straight. Going into Thursday's games Memphis (38-18) was fourth in the West thanks in part to a friendly schedule.

The Grizzlies have played the fewest road games of any team in the conference — but that's about to change.

They visit Miami on Friday, the first of 17 games in 30 days, including 11 away from Memphis. March also features a Western swing with four games in five nights and five back-to-backs.

Coach Lionel Hollins doesn't plan on resting players. He says the Grizzlies can't expect someone else to help them secure their third straight playoff berth.
