Corey (Homicide) Williams had been away from the Rucker Park courts for almost two years when he returned Monday night. The capacity crowd was mostly there to see NFL Pro Bowl wide receivers Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco, but Williams’ star shone brightest.

He scored a game-high 36 points on an array of drives to the basket and jump shots as his team, Team T.O., topped Team Ochocinco, 119-107.

“The more people, the more pressure, the better I play,” said the former Rice High standout, who just finished up his latest season aboard in Australia, where he was named the NBL’s MVP. “This what I love.”

Owens remains without a team; Ochocinco doesn’t expect Revis to hold out: While Owens and Ochocinco were in Harlem Monday night for basketball and to promote their reality shows on VH-1, there were still football matters at hand.

Owens remains a free agent just two weeks before training camp begins. He is open to joining Ochocinco in Cincinnati, but said there are no serious talks on the horizon.

“I want to go to a team that has a chance to win the Super Bowl,” he said. “Anything can happen at this given time. Training camp is a long time.”

An honorary coach Ochocinco, meanwhile, said he didn’t play because training camp is right around the corner. The talkative wide receiver did say he expects New York Jets standout Darrelle Revis, a close friend who is embroiled in a contract dispute with the Jets, not to hold out.

“Why would you hold out with an opportunity to play me?” he joked. “I’d take a pay cut to play against him.”

Ochocinco is looking forward to playing the Jets on Thanksgiving, in part to gain amends for the two losses to the Jets the last week of the regular season and opening round of the playoffs.

“I’m looking forward to that,” he said.

Glover nears decision: Well-traveled Bronx native Mike Glover has narrowed down his college choices to two: Iona College and Hofstra University. He plans to make a decision this week, by Friday at the latest. He has visited both schools and was promised immediate playing time by both coaching staffs, each of them new.

“I’m ready to move on to my college career,” he said. “I feel rejuvenated right now after everything I’ve been through.”

Glover was initially coach Bobby Gonzalez’s prize recruit at Seton Hall out of American Christian Academy (Pa.) in 2007. But the long, 6-foot-6 forward was ruled ineligible when his academic records at American Christian were investigated by the NCAA. He attended Seton Hall anyway, although he was technically ineligible. He paid his tuition and sued the NCAA to get the decision overturned and receive monetary damages equal to a four-year scholarship.

Glover did not win the lawsuit, spent the following year at ASA, a junior college in Brooklyn, and committed to St. Francis College last summer. This past winter, he played at the College of Eastern Utah, where he graduated in the spring. But he decommitted from St. Francis when head coach Brian Nash resigned in April.

He has spoken with several players from both programs, Charles Jenkins of Hofstra and longtime friend Scott Machado of Queens. Glover had other options, but wanted to come back home after a year in Utah to be near his 1-year-old son, Mike Glover Jr.

His mentor, Bingo Cole, isn’t sure where Glover will end up. But he is sure the versatile forward will be a difference-maker.

“He’ll make an impact for [either] school right away,” Cole said.
