The National Hockey Leagues regular season is upon us, and with it, so many compelling storylines. Heres whats top of mind as the puck gets set to drop on Wednesday:Cut the captain some slackOn Oct. 5,?Connor McDavid was named captain of the Edmonton Oilers, making him the youngest NHL captain ever. I have no problem with the assignment. McDavid is a rare talent, to be sure. But I also seem to be in the minority in believing that its a little over the top to suggest that McDavid, who is only 19 and just 45 games into his NHL career, is already poised to challenge for a scoring title.I didnt see him as that kind of player before he was named captain, and I dont see it now. Even if McDavid is a point-a-game guy this season -- and finishes with say, 82-85 points, assuming he stays healthy -- it will somehow be disappointing given the preseason prognostications. And that is just wrong. Good on him if hes a 95- to 100-point player. Hes bound to get there sooner or later. But having to answer for the sins of the NHLs worst franchise on a nightly basis will add a kind of burden that cant help but impact his on-ice performance, at least at the beginning. How about we cut the kid some slack?Time to double down on disciplineThe league has once again embarrassed itself with its handling of supplemental discipline, and we havent even had a meaningful puck drop yet. But were not going to batter the NHL Department of Player Safety, even though it is laughable that -- until Radko Gudas was suspended for the first six games of the NHL regular season for his late, high hit on Bruins prospect Austin Czarnik in a preseason game -- the dangerous, reckless play of Gudas,?Niklas Hjalmarsson, Tanner Pearson and Andrew Shaw somehow managed to net a total of just three regular-season games in suspensions.?Watch them in sequence and ask yourself if they are the kinds of hits that make the game better. Better yet, why arent NHL GMs watching those games and breaking into a cold sweat? They allege, as a group, to be the caretakers of the game. So take care of it. Demand at the fall meeting that the Department of Player Safety stop making the league the subject of regular ridicule for its flaccid approach to supplemental discipline for on-ice infractions. Start with a five-game ban for a first offense on a dangerous hit to the head or boarding from behind and go from there.Oh, and by the way, where is the NHL Players Association on this? It should be in lockstep with the GMs on this, demanding greater suspensions so players can play the game the way it should be played without worrying about morons like Shaw (who is fast becoming the least likable player in the league, especially after his suspension last season for being caught uttering a homophobic slur) potentially ending their career. Not that were holding our breath on that one.Will the Islanders bolt Brooklyn?Speaking of embarrassing, the NHL has to hope that the festering situation in Brooklyn comes to some sort of resolution -- and sooner rather than later. The?New York Islanders?first season at Barclays Center was, to put it charitably, an up-and-down one. On the ice, the Isles won a playoff round for the first time since 1993, but the experience for fans was subpar, as transit to the arena often stunk, sight lines were marred and the ice was the worst in the NHL for most of the season.And, in spite of platitudes uttered from both sides, it appears that the Barclays brass and Islanders ownership dont really get along. Maybe its leverage on the part of the Islanders, who are trying to squeeze Barclays to do a better job of making this a hockey-friendly home, but the repeated reports that the team is looking for a new home somewhere in the New York area must be hard for fans and the league to take after all the hoopla of a year ago amid the move off Long Island.Maybe it will all get worked out, Barclays and the Islanders will become best buds, and the Islanders will settle in for a long, successful run in Brooklyn. It doesnt look likely, though, and the longer the threat of moving somewhere else goes on, the bigger the embarrassment for the league ... which had hoped to leave all that nonsense on Long Island.The Jets knew he was Trouba when he walked inThis is crunch time for the Winnipeg Jets?and?GM Kevin Cheveldayoff.?Defenseman Jacob Trouba wants out (or apparently, at the very least, wants to stay on the right side of the Jets defense). Boohoo for the Rochester, Michigan, native. But like Steve Yzerman in Tampa -- who last season had to deal with the trade demands of an unproven youngster in Jonathan Drouin?-- Cheveldayoff is in the spotlight.Yzermans decision to send Drouin home and wait out the situation before ultimately welcoming Drouin back into the fold late last season was easier because the Lightning were a good team that didnt really need the young player. The Jets arent that good and are fast becoming the Atlanta Thrashers without the humidity. This will be the teams fifth season in Winnipeg after relocating from downtown Atlanta. The Jets have won exactly the same number of playoff games that the Thrashers did: zero. They have the same number of playoff appearances too: one.Are the Jets a playoff team with Trouba? Maybe. Are they one without him or without a player of similar age and skill set? Even less likely. It hard enough to get players to come to Winnipeg, but if Cheveldayoff knuckles and doesnt get market value for a disgruntled 22-year-old whose development has been only so-so, the Jets are doomed.Will Boudreau bring winning ways to Wild??It will be interesting to monitor several coaching performances as the season moves along. I love the fit of Bruce Boudreau with the?Minnesota Wild.?Never mind his playoff record (38-35), Boudreau gets great value out of his teams during the regular season and thatll be a welcome tonic for Wild fans, who have suffered through regular-season upheaval the past three or four seasons.Were also going to find out if the?Colorado Avalanche?just stink or whether it was their coach -- Hall of Famer Patrick Roy, who up and quit in late summer -- who stunk. Either way, its a pretty important season for rookie bench boss Jared Bednar. Dont be fooled by the Avs glossy preseason record. Theres lots of work to do in Denver.Sabres on edge this seasonIts a big season for the?Buffalo Sabres,?who made significant strides last season after their tank-a-thon netted them Jack Eichel with the second overall pick in the 2015 draft. Adding Kyle Okposo was a huge get for GM Tim Murray and were going to find out whether?Robin Lehner?can be the guy in net. But the biggest question mark is Evander Kane,?who has found himself at the center of a series of off-ice legal problems. Its difficult to assess from afar, but there doesnt seem to be all that much in the way of contrition from the former fourth overall pick. He has the potential to be a big piece of the solution in hockey-mad Buffalo. Right now hes simply the problem.Vesey has plenty to proveI have to admit that the whole Jimmy Vesey drama -- and the collective hand-wringing over where the collegiate star would end up -- left me a little cold. But Vesey and his people used the system to their benefit and now hes a member of the?New York Rangers.?If hes as good as his press clippings, no one will remember the celebrity endorsements and the hurt feelings of teams like the Sabres, Bruins,?Nashville Predators and Toronto Maple Leafs? But if Vesey struggles -- and if those struggles can be attributed to playing under a spotlight that might not otherwise have shone as bright and hot -- there will be some real soul-searching about how this all went down.End the Olympic gamesmanshipAnd finally, with word that the NHL and presumably the NHLPA will be visiting PyeongChang, South Korea, for a site inspection ahead of the mid-January deadline to confirm NHL participation in the 2018 Olympics, heres hoping someone finds a way to keep the NHL/Olympic train rolling. As we saw at the World Cup of Hockey, nothing else quite compares to the Olympics, and to see NHL participation in the Games go away would be a grand shame. And lets not even abide any talk about opting out of 2018 and returning to China four years later. Shame on the NHL if it starts cherry-picking Olympic Games that suit its needs.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Preparing for his final race before retirement in the Olympic velodrome, Bradley Wiggins phone flashed with a message.Dont think records. Think medal, the British cyclist recalled reading. Its about going out and killing off opposition now. Stay relaxed in the line. Deliver. Youll become the greatest by end of play because you are.But think about killing them off, the records come naturally if you dont chase them, just chase the opposition.They were just the reassuring words Wiggins needed before riding to victory on Friday in the team pursuit at the Rio de Janeiro Games. And they were written by Shane Sutton, the brash Australian who was technical director of British Cycling before leaving under a cloud in April.Sutton quit after being suspended while under investigation for making discriminatory remarks. It seemed quite a setback for the all-conquering British cycling project ahead of the Olympics. But Britain has remained the leading force in Rio de Janeiro, with Sutton remaining a private mentor to some of his former charges.Wiggins was part of the gold medal-winning team pursuit that enabled him to become Britains most decorated Olympian with eight medals.Wiggins is hoping the mastermind of British glory at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics regains his job, believing there isnt sufficient evidence to find Sutton guilty of wrongdoing.Female cyclist Jess Varnish accused Sutton of making derogatory comments about her body shape and told her to move on and have a baby after she failed to qualify for this years Olympics, according to a British newspaper account. Para-cyclist Darren Kenny also alleged that he heard Sutton refer to members of the disability team in derogatory terms. Sutton denies wrongdoing.He wants to come back, Wiggins said. I spoke to him two weeks ago and he said his life is pretty empty without this. I think he has the right to. Why not?Although Wiggins accepts interim team leader Andy Harrison has steadied the ship, the former Tour de France winner said Sutton should be credited with the Rio success.All this stuff is a result of (Suttons) work, Wiggins said. He was in charge of it. He put all the foundations in place for this week, over years.I came back to the track squad because he was in charge, he encouraged me to come back and I probably wouldnt have come back, had it been somebody else in charge 18 months ago.---Rob Harris can be followed at www.twitter.com/RobHarris and www.facebook.com/RobHarrisReports Cheap P.

MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Brewers returned home after taking a four-game series from the NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs, but couldnt keep that momentum going.Andrew McCutchen, Jody Mercer and Josh Bell who each drove in two runs and the Pittsburgh Pirates preserved their faint playoff hopes with a 6-3 win over Milwaukee on Tuesday night.The Brewers had won 11 of 17 since the Pirates four-game sweep in Milwaukee at the end of August, including home and away series victory over Cubs.Brewers manager Craig Counsell didnt want to hear about a possible letdown from his players.Thats part of being a professional, he said. Thats how it works. Its a different atmosphere, but its still a competition. Theres certainly a different atmosphere here than at Wrigley Field. But that didnt have anything to do with it.The Pirates won their fifth straight at Miller Park, and fifth of six overall to improve to .500 (75-75) for the first time since they were 69-69 on Sept. 8. Pittsburgh began the day five games behind San Francisco for the second NL wild card spot and St. Louis Cardinals and Miami Marlins in between the Pirates and Giants.McCutchens two-run double in the first staked rookie left-hander Steven Brault to an early lead. Then, Bells two-run single in the top of fifth chased starter Matt Garza (5-8).We just kind of dug our hole, Counsell said. They jumped on Matt early tonight. He settled down a little bit, but we had given up five by that time.Garza allowed five runs and eight hits over four innings. He walked two and struck out two while slipping to 1/3 with a 4.66 ERA in four starts against the Pirates this season.Staked to a 5-2 lead in the bottom of the fifth, Brault walked Jonathan Villar who stole second and moved to third on Orlando Arcias base hit. Pirates manager Clint Hurdle made a move to his bullpen and brought in Jared Hughes (1-1) to face Chris Carter.It is first and third with nobody out in the fifth, Hurdle said. Where we are in the season right now, I felt (Brault) gave us (enough.) It is a sticky situation.Carter lined Hughes first pitch at third baseman Jung Ho Kang, who fielded the ball cleanly and turned it into a double play that deflated the rally. Hughes struck out Domingo Santana to end the threat.We ended up scoring a run, but thats two outs right there on one pitch, Carter said. He ended up (retiring) the next guy. That kind of changed the momentum right there.Counsell was even more emphatic.That was a big play, he said. We had guys on first and seecond and got to their bullpen.dddddddddddd Chris hit a ball hard, and he made a nice play. We battled back, but that was the opportunity we had. That certainly was the play of the game, for sure.Wade LeBlanc pitched the sixth which ended on another double play. Juan Nicasio set the side down in order in the seventh. Antonio Bastardo struck out two in the eighth and Tony Watson tossed a perfect ninth for his 14th save in 17 chances.Brault was making his seventh career start and had already lost twice to the Brewers. He allowed Santanas run-scoring double in the third and Martin Maldonados home run in the fourth. Brault scattered five hits, struck out four, walked two and was three outs from his first major-league win.Mercer produced run-scoring singles in the fourth and sixth.Adam Frazier went 3 for 4, scored twice and extended his streak of reaching base safely to 10 straight games for the Pirates.CHUGGING ALONGIn the third, Carter blooped a two-out base hit and scored on Domingo Santanas double. At 6-4, 245-pounds, Carter lumbered around the bases and would have been out by a wide margin, but second baseman Sean Rodriguezs relay bounced once in front of catcher Francisco Cervelli and squirted away. Carter scored standing up.NEW BREWERS DADSLF Ryan Braun and C Manny Pina missed the game in order to be with their wives and the newest member of their respective family. Brauns wife, Larisa, gave birth to a son, Greyson Joseph. Pinas wife, Leny, gave birth to a daughter, Jimena. However, Pina pinch hit in the ninth and flied out to end the game.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Bobby Wallace has North Alabama on the brink of another Division II national title two decades and three head coaching jobs after building the Lions into the dominant team of the 1990s.North Alabama (11-1), which won three straight championships from 1993-95, will face current D-2 juggernaut Northwest Missouri State in the championship game Saturday in Kansas City, Kansas. The playoff regular is trying to return to the top in its first title game in 21 years.Back in the mid-90s, UNA was THE Division II team, and that was something that the university took pride in, Lions quarterback Jacob Tucker said. Its not like weve been down for the past 20 years. The programs still been good. Theres just been that playoff hump that a bunch of teams havent been able to get over.This isnt necessarily the North Alabama team even Wallace expected to clear those hurdles. The Lions had to replace three-year starting quarterback Luke Wingo and faced FCS power Jacksonville State and two ranked Division II teams in the first four games.They lost the opener against the Gamecocks but have won 11 straight since, with the Florida Tech game cancelled because of Hurricane Matthew.Tucker has emerged from a three-year role as North Alabamas backup to become a finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy, Division IIs equivalent of the Heisman. He has passed for 2,661 yards and 21 touchdowns while leading the team in rushing with 902 yards and 16 TDs.When we came into this season, our first five games were just a very, very difficult schedule, Wallace said. We were worried about coming out of those first five even with a winning record.Our offensive players just got better and better. Of course, everybody wondered how Jacob Tucker would be as the starting quarterback, even though we all knew he had talent. Hes done remarkable. Hes really the leader of the team. Hes been probably the surprise player in the nation this year, because some people werent really sure about him or didnt know about him.UNA fans certainly knew about Wallace when he returned in 2012. He had left the Florence, Alabama school after the 1997 season for Temple, where Wallace went 19-71 during eight seasons.He returned in 2007 to coach North Alabamas Gulf South Conference rival West Alabama for five much more successful seasons and then retired again before returning to Florence, Alabama after a season off.Wallace has led the Lions to four straight league championships since his return. Tucker and the rest of the senior class have gone 39-9.Wallace was determined to tweak the formula used by predecessor Terry Bowden, who had brought in some high-profile recruits who had been dismissed from programs like Florida State and Florida. His aim is to build the core of his team around prospects recruited and developed out of high school, though transfers like linebacker Darius Wright from East Carolina have played key roles.Wallace said he started to realize this teams potential after a 24-23 victory over then-No. 3 West Georgia on Oct. 1. The Lions scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to rally from a 23-10 deficit.The Lions have won the eight games since West Georgia by an average of nearly 33 points, advancing with a 23-13 semifinal win over Shepherd. And the northwest Alabama town of about 40,000 has something to celebrate in December again -- besides the holidays.With the small community that Florence has, a lot of people rally around UNA football, Tucker said. For us to be returning to the national championship, its got the birds buzzing. People are talking about it. People that I havent talked to all year are coming up to me and stopping me in the streets when Im going to get a bite to eat.They just want to talk about the game.

TAMPA, Fla. -- The Buccaneers promoted former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Josh Huff to the active roster, the team announced Tuesday.He takes the place of receiver Cecil Shorts III, who suffered a season-ending knee injury against the Chargers and was officially placed on injured reserve.Huff signed a two-year contract with his promotion, a source told ESPNs Adam Caplan.A third-round draft pick in 2014, Huff was waived by the Eagles on Nov. 3 following an arrest for gun and marijuana charges.?He was pulled over on the New Jersey side of the Walt Whitman Bridge for speeding, and police found an unloaded 9 mm hand gun that was not registered to Huff, hollow-point ammunition and a small amount of marijuana.Huff is eager for a fresh start and to show people theres more to him than his mistake that cost him his spot with the Eagles.Its definitely tough being in the situation that Im in, but I know I put myself in that situation and Im OK with it, Huff said recently. Im a good guy. Oncce you get to know me, youll love me for me.dddddddddddd Im not a troubled guy at all.Huff signed with the Bucs practice squad on Nov. 7. The team had considered bringing him up onto 53-man roster sooner, but a hamstring injury during a practice in Week 11 delayed that process.The chemistry is coming along good with Jameis (Winston), Huff said. Every day Im staying after practice to work on some type of chemistry, some type of routes. I think Im doing a great job so far with it. Hes starting to trust me. I just cant wait to get into action.The Bucs receiving corps took a major hit when Shorts and slot receiver Adam Humphries both left the game Sunday. Humphries is currently in the leagues concussion protocol.The team also re-signed receiver Bernard Reedy, who spent nearly the entire offseason, training camp and preseason with the Bucs, to the practice squad.

Rochester, NY (Sports Network) - After a difficult opening round on Thursday at the PGA Championship, Bo Van Pelt withdrew due to a hip injury.

DORTMUND, Germany -- Borussia Dortmund midfielder Mario Goetze will miss Saturdays Champions League final against Bayern Munich after failing to recover from a hamstring injury, leaving the team without one of its best players. Dortmund confirmed Wednesday that Goetze will not be fit in time to face his future club at Wembley Stadium in London. It would have been the 20-year-old Goetzes last game for Dortmund before his 37-million euro switch to Bayern next season. "The final was my main aim and I fought hard for it in the last weeks," Goetze said on Dortmunds website. Goetze returned to training on Tuesday but suffered a recurrence of the problems that forced him off in the semifinal second leg against Real Madrid on April 30. After completing an individual jogging exercise in the morning, he broke off training after an hour with teammates in the afternoon. "Im incredibly sorry that I cant help the team in this important match," Goetze said. "I have full confidence in our team and will of course travel with the side to London to support the lads from the side of the pitch.dddddddddddd" It will be the second Dortmund final against Bayern that Goetze will have to watch from the sidelines. The attacking midfielder missed most of the second half of last season with a thigh injury and could only watch from the bench as his teammates routed Bayern 5-2 in the German Cup final. Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp will now likely turn to Germany teammate Ilkay Gundogan to take Goetzes position behind Polish striker Robert Lewandowski. "I dont think its that difficult. I played there in the youth teams and know whats required of the position. I know what I have to do," Gundogan said last week. Klopp also has the option of bringing Marco Reus into the centre, where the Germany international played in the 2-1 Bundesliga loss to Hoffenheim last Saturday, with Kevin Grosskreutz coming in on the wing to help left back Marcel Schmelzer cope with Bayerns Arjen Robben and Philipp Lahm.

Australia are poised to retain a place among the Davis Cup elite, with Nick Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic giving the hosts a commanding 2-0 lead over Slovakia in their World Group playoff in Sydney.Kyrgios crushed world No.127 Andrej Martin 6-3 6-2 6-4 in Fridays opening singles rubber before Tomic outclassed 123rd-ranked Jozef Kovalik 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 6-4 at Ken Rosewall Arena.The twin wins give Sam Groth and John Peers the chance to wrap up the best-of-five-match tie with a victory over Martin and Igor Zelenay in Saturdays doubles.A perfect start, said Australian captain Lleyton Hewitt.We know its not over quite yet but the boys did really well today.They were obviously big favourites coming into both singles but you cant take anything for granted in Davis Cup.Theres a lot more pressure on as well and sometimes its tougher when you are a lot more fancied chance to go out there and get the job done. The underdog comes out swinging and it can turn into a dogfight.Making his first Davis Cup appearance since a forgettable performance in last years quarter-final win over Kazakhstan in Darwin, Kyrgios was more inconvenienced by a nose bleed than his lowly ranked opponent.The world No.15 spent much of the final set with a tissue up his left nostril and admitted to relief at overcoming the irritation to collect his first Davis Cup point for Australia in two years.It was a bit of a hassle, Kyrgios said.Everyone expects me to go out there and towel the guy but its never as easy as that.I thought he played some great tennis today. He actually adapted really well to the grass. He was slicing and was very comfortable on it and that third set definitely wasnt easy.After suffering a shock loss to world No.115 Aleksandr Nedovyesov in Darwin, then-Australian captain Wally Masur replaced the temperamental youngster with Sam Groth for the must-win reverse singles.Kyrgios was then overlooked for Australias semi-final loss to Great Britain last year following his infamous sledging of Stan Wawrinka, before missing the first-round defeat to the US at Kooyong in March with a virus.But the 21-year-old made a welcome - and incident-free - return to national service on Friday to give Australia the early ascendancy in their bid to retain their place in the 16-team World Group for 2017.Tomic was equally impressive in improving his Cup record to 17-4 in singles, matching the winning tally of the legendary Rod Laver in the 116-year competition.

Hi Kerry, Its another day and here we are looking at another dubious hit to the head. In this case Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky elbowed Saku Koivu in the head about a second after he dished off the puck to a teammate, knocking him unconscious. The way junior middleweight titlist Liam Beefy Smith sees things, Canelo Alvarez picked on the wrong guy.Alvarez is one of boxings most popular stars and could have picked just about anybody to fight. But rather than giving the people what they want (and what he promised) -- a showdown with unified middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin -- Alvarez dumped his middleweight title and decided to drop down to junior middleweight, where he once unified two titles.In doing so, Alvarez hand-picked Smith, an undefeated British fighter largely unknown and untested. But Smith is happy Alvarez called his name and was thrilled when he landed, by far, his biggest fight, even if it will take place in front of a pro-Alvarez crowd on Mexican Independence Day weekend.Smith, 28, will make his third title defense when he faces Alvarez on Saturday night (HBO PPV, 9 ET) at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, where he will aim for a gargantuan upset.Im not stupid. I know on paper Im the B-side of this fight. Canelos the big name, said Smith, who will be boxing in the United States for the first time. Its always Canelo, and its Mexican Independence Day, so I know that. But I am the champion, and just looking back on that, that is one reason why I hope theyll respect that Im champion and be fair. If I win the fight, then make sure I get the decision.Give me the respect I deserve. I am the champion, even though I am the B-side in the fight. Canelos the big name, but I am the champion going in. ... I took this fight. Im not in a situation where I have nothing to lose in this fight. Ive got a title to lose. So Ive taken this fight because its an opportunity to make a name for myself and establish myself as one of the best fighters pound-for-pound in the world.Smith (23-0-1, 13 KOs) is one of four fighting brothers. Brother Paul twice lost decisions to Arthur Abraham for a super middleweight title (in 2014 and 2015), Stephen dropped a decision challenging junior lightweight titlist Jose Pedraza in April and super middleweight Callum is an undefeated contender awaiting a mandatory shot at the belt held by Badou Jack. But Liam is the only to have won a world title, although his title bouts have come against pedestrian opposition.He knows he is facing a formidable opponent in Mexicos Alvarez (47-1-1, 33 KOs), 26, who won the lineal title (albeit at 155 pounds) by decision against Miguel Cotto last November and retained it by massive sixth-round knockout of Smiths countryman Amir Khan, a welterweight moving up, in May.Canelo is a very accurate puncher and has a great deal of variety in the ring, Smith said. I got to work with [welterweight titlist and recent Golovkin victim] Kell Brook to prepare. It feels very good to be on this big stage, and its one that I have asked to be on.I am going to show everyone that I can fight at a high magnitude and hopefully Ill gain some more fans once I beat Canelo. Looking back at his last fight, I think Canelos attitude was thinking that he was going to grab the knockout sooner or later, and he wasnt willing to box. I wont let that be the case in this fight because Ive got the ability to outbox him and put him in his place. Just because the writers and the boxing critics label me as the underdog isnt my motivation. My family and their support is the only one I need.dddddddddddd With this opportunity, Im hoping for bigger and better fights to come my way.Smith trains at a gym owned by Khan but said he did not discuss what it was like for him to fight Alvarez. I havent talked to him about the fight because what he can do well, I can do well, and what Amir failed to do in the ring, I will not fail to do, Smith said. I have my own skill set that I can excel in. Im comfortable going toe to toe with Canelo, and let that be a warning to him come Saturday.Frank Warren, the Hall of Fame British promoter, has worked with Smith since he turned pro in 2008 and has seen his share of upsets. He said Saturdays fight reminds him a bit of when big favorite Jeff Lacy traveled to England to meet Joe Calzaghe in a super middleweight title unification fight that Warren promoted.Everybody was building up Jeff Lacy to be the next big thing and [Calzaghe] destroyed him, Warren said. I mean absolutely destroyed him.Thats not say that Warren believes Smith will destroy Alvarez, but he believes he has what it takes to notch a victory.Ive always thought that [Smith] was an exceptional fighter and an exceptional British fighter. Hes won all his fights to date [other than a four-round draw in his sixth fight], Warren said. Hes on an eight-fight knockout roll, and Ive never seen him up so much for a fight. He begged me for this fight, and we made it happen between all of us, and I can assure you when he gets there, there are going to be some serious fireworks.Its going to be a real celebration for the Brits. It might be Mexican Independence Day, but its going to be the Brits are coming, and the Brits are going to come away still holding that belt. Hes so confident and all the time Ive known him, Ive never felt or doubted him or his ability. Hes one of those fighters, the bigger the occasion, the more youll get out of him.Joe Gallagher trains Smith and is one of the most respected trainers in the United Kingdom. He said Smith is well-prepared to pull the upset.Liam Smith is a world champion, and he is doing what world champions do: defending his world title against one of the best fighters in the world, Gallagher said. Liam isnt coming over here to be caught like a rabbit in the headlights. Liam Smith is a world champion and is going to take care of business on fight night.Smith is a serious threat. Liam Smith can box from the outside, hes a great counterpuncher, can fight from the inside, has great shots from the inside and has a great temperament. These are some of my favorite characteristics of Liam Smith. I think he might shock a lot of people in just how great he is come Saturday night.Smith, of course, is planning for victory.Its going to be give and take. Canelos going to have his moments. Im not saying hes not. But Im going to have my moments, Smith said. Every time I think about the fight it gets me excited. It just gets me excited. So its one that I cant wait for. Its going to be a great fight.And should Smith win, Warren has a novel idea.Well be talking afterwards about when is Liam going to be fighting Golovkin, he said. Because thats what theyre going to be talking about after this fight.

Wide receiver TrenDavian Dickson, a member of the 2016 recruiting class who opted to transfer from Baylor Bears to Houston Cougars in the wake of the Bears sexual assault scandal, is no longer with the Cougars football program, according to the Houston Chronicle.Because Dickson, an ESPN 300 recruit, had enrolled at Baylor in January and participated in spring practices, he had to sit out the 2016 season after deciding to transfer in June. Houston, however, had applied for a waiver in August that would have allowed him to play immediately.He was one of seven members of Baylors No. 17-ranked 2016 recruiting class to leave after the scandal.

Sri Lanka U-19s 235 for 6 (Asalanka 81, Ashan 51) trail England U-19s 500 for 9 dec by 265 runsScorecard A second day of rain prevented England U-19s bowlers from making significant headway in their efforts to force victory. The Sri Lankans lost four wickets in a truncated days play - leaving a draw looking the likeliest result.Sri Lanka had started day three at Fenners on 96 for 2 with Charith Asalanka and Avishka Fernando looking to build on yesterdays steady start at the crease.George Bartlett, who had complained of a knock to his hand during the warm-up, dropped a chance on 110 for 2, but quickly redeemed himself holding onto a low catch at short midwicket to dismiss Asalanka for 81 which included 12 boundaries.Durham pace bowler Josh Coughlin also made his first impact on the game dismissing Fernando for 45 giving George Hankins at second slip an easy catch.The afternoon session was lost to rain but after play resumed at 5pm Amar Virdi took his second wicket of the match - dismissing Shammu Ashan on 51.Sri Lankan keeper Navindu Vithanage was dispatched in the next over - Coughlins second wicket of the day - being caught one handed by an outstretched Pope.But bad light then intervened, forcing the players from the field again.Sri Lanka will resume tomorrow on 235 for 6.

In related news, Davey Johnsons squad is closer to first place than it has been in over six weeks. Ryan Zimmerman hit a grand slam, Bryce Harper added three hits and two stolen bases, and the Nationals sent the San Diego Padres to their ninth straight loss, 11-7 on Sunday. Stephen Strasburg (5-6) allowed four runs over six innings. He matched his season-high with nine strikeouts as the Nationals won their fourth straight, the last three over San Diego. The victory moved the Nationals within four games of NL East-leading Atlanta. That is the smallest deficit for the defending division champions since May 20. "Weve played below our potential and now were coming around," Johnson said. "Thats a good feeling." Feeling good isnt in the Padres repertoire right now. "That was a rough one. No doubt about it," San Diego manager Bud Black said. Anthony Rendon hit home run and drove in three runs for the Nationals, who are four games over .500 for the first time since April 12. San Diego lost the final nine times on its 10-game road trip. In the series finale, San Diego outhit Washington 12-11, but finished 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position. Of course, scoring seven runs is often enough to claim victory. During other parts of the skid, the offence only scored seven runs over six games. "Youre finding different ways to lose each time," catcher Nick Hundley said. "Some days, we pitched great and didnt hit. Other days, we swung great and didnt pitch. You try to find a nice combination of both and go from there." Zimmermans slam off Robbie Erlin (1-2) put Washington ahead 5-1 in the third inning. In his first at-bat, the Nationals third baseman struck out on full count fastball. In the third inning, Zimmerman batted after Harper reached on an infield single off the glove of first baseman Jesus Guzman to load the bases. With an approach Johnson described as more aggressive, Zimmerman swung at the first pitch - another fastball - he saw from Erlin and launched it over the right-field wall. "Ive kind of been the same way my whole career. I take a lot of first-pitch strikes," Zimmerman said. "That kind of gives me fastballs right down the middle with the bases loaded to hit." Two batters later, Rendon hit a two-run homer. Rendon and Strasburg had RBI singles during the Nationnals four-run fifth inning.dddddddddddd Harper, chosen a day earlier for the NL All-Star team, hit an RBI single in the first. "I think everybody has been swinging it well," Harper said. "Its good to puts runs up there on the board for Stras." That certainly hasnt been the case most of the season. In Strasburgs previous four starts, Washington scored four runs total. The rare scoring surge with Strasburg on the mound helped the starter win for the first time in three starts and earn his second victory since May 26. Strasburg, who started the six-run third inning with a walk, lost his way in spots. He hit three batters, walked two and in the fourth yielded a two-run homer to Alexi Amarista. "It was a tough day for Stras out there," Johnson said. "He was battling. I thought he threw good. Sometimes he fights himself ... seems like the last couple of weeks hes been snake bit." The right-hander allowed seven hits, his most since April 7, and never pitched a 1-2-3 inning. But the San Diego native overpowered the Padres when needed. With Washington leading 7-3 in the fifth and two runners on with two outs, Strasburg struck out Kyle Blanks. "I think it was a good series for us, obviously getting the sweep and gaining some ground," Strasburg said. "Keep swinging like that, I think were going in the right direction." Amarista had three hits and drove in three runs, including an RBI groundout in the seventh against reliever Craig Stammen, who allowed three runs in one inning plus three batters. Replacing Stammen in the eighth with two runners on and Washington leading 11-7, Drew Storen recorded three straight outs. Making his fourth big league start, Erlin went four-plus innings, allowing nine runs on six hits and four walks. NOTES: Chase Headley had three hits and an RBI for the Padres. ... Washington placed LHP Ross Detwiler (lower back strain) on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 4. The Nationals are expected to activated RHP Dan Haren (shoulder) from the 15-day DL to replace Detwiler in the rotation for Mondays series opener at Philadelphia. ... San Diego placed C Yasmani Grandal (right knee sprain) on the 60-day disabled list and called up C Rene Rivera from Triple-A Tucson. ... San Diego returns home for a three-game series against Colorado. RHP Edinson Volquez (6-6, 5.26) opposes RHP Rockies Tyler Chatwood (4-2, 2.75) on Monday.

PETERSBURG, Fla. DEL MAR, Calif. -- Trainer Bob Baffert ended a memorable day Sunday with a powerhouse victory by Lord Nelson at Del Mar in the Grade 1, $301,035 Bing Crosby Stakes, which earned Lord Nelson an automatic berth into the Breeders Cup Sprint on Nov. 5 at Santa Anita through the Win and Youre In program.The race was never in doubt. Lord Nelson ($4), the favorite, sat third while just behind and outside two dueling leaders, effortlessly moved to them on the turn, then drew away through the lane for a four-length victory.What is in doubt is whether he ran the fastest six furlongs in track history. He just might have, but theres no way of knowing for certain.Lord Nelson was timed in a blistering 1:07.65 for six furlongs. The track record is listed in the program as 1:07.60, set by King of Cricket in 1973. However, King of Cricket actually ran six furlongs in 1:07 3/5, and that is expressed in the program as 1:07.60. But in his era, races were timed in fifths of a second, instead of the more-precise hundredths of today. So, King of Cricket could have run six furlongs anywhere from 1:07.60 to 1:07.79.Lord Nelson will head into the fall as perhaps the horse to beat in the Breeders Cup Sprint. Since returning from a five-month layoff, he has won all three of his starts, his prior two at Santa Anita, including the Grade 1 Triple Bend going seven furlongs. On Sunday, he ran the fastest race of his life on raw time, and likely a career-best Beyer Speed Figure, eclipsing the 100 he earned in his first two starts this year.Hes improving. Hes become a really serious sprinter, Baffert said. I was worried about the cutback, but hes doing so well. Hes improving. He was cloose to those splits and he kicked.ddddddddddddSubtle Indian and Justin Squared dueled through blazing fractions of 21.16 seconds for the opening quarter and 43.73 seconds for a half-mile. Lord Nelson, under Flavien Prat, was up by two at mid-stretch after the two leaders chucked it, and he doubled his lead at the wire.Indexical, a 42-1 shot, finished second, 3-1/4 lengths in front of third-place Alsvid. Kaabraaj was fourth and was followed, in order, by Home Run Kitten, Justin Squared, Dream Saturday, and Subtle Indian. Bluegrass Bronco was scratched Sunday morning.Lord Nelson was the third winner on the card for Baffert, who also won with American Pharoahs full sister, the 2-year-old filly American Cleopatra, in her debut, as well as an allowance race with Jazzy Times.Lord Nelson, 4, is a son of Pulpit, whom B. Wayne Hughes of Spendthrift Farm acquired late last year as a stallion prospect. Baffert said he told Hughes that Lord Nelson could continue to race at age 4 if he was freshened, hence the lengthy vacation until his 2016 debut on June 3.Now, with three wins in three starts, Baffert said he just wants Lord Nelson to hold that form until the Breeders Cup.Lord Nelson has now won six times in 12 starts. He ended the weekend on an upbeat note for Hughes, whose mare Beholder was narrowly beaten on Saturday in the Grade 1 Clement Hirsch here.Thats the ups and downs of the game, Baffert said.On Sunday, with three wins here and a second with American Freedom in the Haskell at Monmouth, the needle was pointing up for Baffert.

Theyre trying to keep from returning to their past struggles, where they once had a streak of 28 consecutive losing seasons.Oregon State kicks off fall practices Friday at Summit High School in Bend, trying to end a slide of two consecutive losing seasons. The most recent time the Beavers posted three straight losing seasons was 1996 to 98.Achieving a winning season in 2016 is expected to be a steep climb, as the Beavers are coming off a 2-10 season, their worst since 1995. Oregon State was picked to finish last in the Pac-12 North in the preseason media poll.Oregon State returns 11 starters, including seven on offense. Among the newcomers looking to make an impact this season is quarterback Darrel Garretson, a junior transfer from Utah State who won the starting job during the spring.Because of the stadium construction, Oregon State is moving the start of fall practice off campus for the first time ever to Bend, located about 125 miles southeast of Corvallis in Central Oregon. The Beavers will hold practice for the first six days in Bend, before returning to OSUs campus Aug. 11.Oregon States second-year coach Gary Andersen hopes to increase the teams unity and chemistry during the week away from Corvallis.I want them to get to know some different people. Well be doing some very different bonding situations in Bend that are a little bit different than what weve done in the past. Does it win you games? No. Do I believe it helps? Yes, Andersen said.Sophomore receiver Seth Collins said players are looking forward to starting fall camp in Bend.Its going to be a fun thing, but I think its going to be physical. It just adds to the overall camaraderie, Collins said.This season marks a change for Collins, as he was Oregon States starting quarterback coming out of fall camp last season. Collins started seven games, then after an injury, played at wide receiver during OSUs season finale against Oregon, scoring three rushing touchdowns.Im not really sure what my role will be, but when I touch the ball, I plan on making things happen, Collins said.In Collins place at quarterback is Garretson, who passed for 2,586 yards and 18 touchdowns in two seasons at Utah State prior to transferring to Oregon State in June 2015.The redshirt year was hard, but I got to work on a lot of stuff, got to work on certain things you normally wouldnt be able to work on during the season. The year off was beneficial, for sure, said the 6-foot, 210-pound Garretson, whose uncle Ron is an NBA referee.Competition figures to be intense during the four weeks of preseason practice. There are at least half the starting jobs up for grabs, and new coordinators to impress in defensive coordinator Kevin Clune and co-offensive coordinators Kevin McGiven and T.J. Woods.Andersens expectations are simple heading into fall camp.My expectations of them is to be a much improved football team. Our goals should be that. Anything past there is flapping your lips, Andersen said.I expect them to carry themselves with belief and a little bit of swagger. Its not deserved swagger at this point, but you have to feel good about your team and where youre headed.The Beavers open the season on the road, playing at Minnesota on Sept. 1. Oregon State has seven home games on its schedule, including the Civil War against Oregon on Nov. 26. Womens Minnesota Twins Jerseys .

At NXT TakeOver Toronto, #DIY defeated The Revival to win the NXT tag team championships. It was the second consecutive TakeOver special in which those four men stole the show among heavy competition, and the looks of pure joy on the faces of the new champions was undeniable.It was never supposed to happen this way.When Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano made their first appearance together on NXT programming, as part of the inaugural Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, few expected them to pull off a shocking first-round victory as unsigned outsiders. After they pushed Baron Corbin and Rhyno to the brink in the second round and won over the Full Sail University crowd for the first time, they couldve disappeared like any number of other independent wrestlers getting a brief look. Instead, they stuck around and made a number of appearances on subsequent episodes of NXT, split their time between the WWE and the independents, and continued to amass a larger and larger audience.As a pairing, Gargano and Ciampa used their underdog status as their calling card, and with each step theyve taken, the crowd has bought in more.I feel like thats kind of been why we gained such a following, Gargano said. People feel they can live through us. Theyre kind of watching us scratch and claw and work our way up the ranks.After a tag team championship win, a pair of instant classics with The Revival, two Dusty Classics and an unbelievable match against one another in the WWE Cruiserweight Classic, Gargano and Ciampa have run the full spectrum in just over a year in NXT. If they stopped to process just how much theyve accomplished in that time, it might overwhelm them, but another key to their success has been their ability to both appreciate the sentiment and compartmentalize it.It just doesnt seem real yet, Gargano said. I dont think we live in the moment like some people do. [But I think] were going to look back at how we got here and our story and everything that went into it, and were going to think its pretty cool.Both men agreed on that point, but Ciampa pointed to the NXT tag team championship match as a defining line between everything theyve done in the previous year and all that lies before them.I think [becoming] tag team champions, it gives you kind of a moment to hit the reset button and kind of look back at the year and appreciate it, Ciampa said.#DIY isnt just a gimmick that was slapped onto this pair when they started their ascent through NXT. Each man forged his unique path before they converged for the first time at the start of this storybook NXT run.Ciampa, 31, was trained in Massachusetts by the legendary Killer Kowalski (the man who trained Triple H and a lengthy list of big names in the wrestling industry) and began his career with independent companies in that region. After a brief stint in WWE developmental, most of his biggest pre-WWE moments came in Ring of Honor, where he spent the better part of five years as one of the top competitors. He had memorable feuds with former world champion Jay Lethal and several others and was a one-time ROH television champion, but he also had a devastating ACL injury that cost him more than a year of his career. He left the company in March 2015.Gargano, a Cleveland native, got his start with local promotion Absolute Intense Wrestling in 2008 and continued to appear for them for the next nine years. He also served as the head trainer for the companys wrestling school. The 29-year-old made his name all over the country but truly rose to prominence as one of the top guys for two World Wrestling Network companies: Dragon Gate USA and Evolve.The opportunity each man received was earned through years of sweat equity, and when they got their chance, they clung to it and did the most with it every time out.Very surreal, Gargano said when asked to summarize his experience. I think its something that we both wanted. You talk to any wrestler, and they want to be in this spot. NXT is the hottest thing going right now.The men had the chance to slowly wind down their independent wrestling careers, and neither took that rare opportunity for granted. As they continued to gain traction, though, each could sense the writing on the wall, and while both Gargano and Ciampa relished the opportunity to ply their craft on wreestlings biggest stage, it came at the cost of a way of life that each had come to love.ddddddddddddWhen we started with NXT, there were no issues as far as taking independent bookings, Ciampa said. Then we could kind of sense it was getting to that point, and then once we got confirmation [of going full-time in the WWE] but the news wasnt made public, I think [for] both of us, that was the hardest part. It was four or five weeks of us knowing this is probably our last time in this town for this federation, for this group, but the fans didnt know.A lot of times our opponents didnt know. The promoters didnt know. That was a tough four-to-six-week stretch, but once the announcement was made, it was just ... fun. I enjoyed those last eight to 12 independent bookings, just took them and appreciated them for what they were.Ciampa had one heckuva wind-down to his independent career, with his final match on U.S. soil coming against Cody Rhodes, and he enjoyed an unexpected final opportunity to participate in Pro Wrestling Guerillas Battle of Los Angeles. That wrapped up with Ciampa taking on Zack Sabre Jr. in a two-out-of-three falls match for Englands Progress wrestling.Gargano got his sendoff in multiple parts as well. He said goodbye to his WWN compatriots in a tag team match that also, interestingly enough, involved Rhodes. Garganos finale with AIW came in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, in a show dedicated specifically to him. He got to wrestle his wife, independent star Candace LeRae, in a two-out-of-three falls match and then join her in a tag team match.Weve watched guys throughout the years having their final indie moments, Gargano said. To be able to have a [farewell] tour was pretty cool.This all happened after Gargano and Ciampa tore the house down at Barclays Center at NXT: TakeOver Brooklyn II. In a match that had more near-falls then most could count -- each one bringing the audience to another level of fervor -- #DIY found themselves on the losing side of the match, but they were perhaps the biggest net winners as far as recognition and appreciation, as far as the crowd was concerned.Seeing that turnout was mind-blowing, and as an independent wrestler, this is where you want to be. This is your goal, Gargano said. I think my favorite moment working at Barclays Center was when we walked in and saw the [empty] building for the first time. We both looked at each other and looked up, and were like, There are going to be people up there?As reverent as they are about the experience of the walk out to the ring, once they stepped between the ropes and started the match, it was like every other match theyve had (albeit with a slightly louder crowd reaction).Honestly, it didnt feel any different, Gargano said.Energy is energy, Ciampa echoed.If were working in front of 50 people or in front of 15,000 people, were going to perform [as well as] what we get out of the crowd, Gargano said.The results and the reactions (from the live crowd and fans at home alike) speak for themselves. Veteran wrestling writer Dave Meltzer gave both the Brooklyn match with The Revival and the Toronto rematch 4.5 stars, and fans have been overwhelmingly positive in touting those performances. As Gargano and Ciampa move forward with their NXT tag team championship reign and everything that lies ahead, they hope that kind of good will and fan support will continue.The reactions are amazing, but we dont take that for granted, Gargano said. We dont walk through the curtain being like, Were going to get cheered through the roof tonight. Its unexpected every single time we come through the curtain.The spirit of what they do -- their never-ending desire to prove themselves, to have fun in the ring and to provide the fans with an unforgettable moment -- is clear every time they step foot into an NXT ring. No matter what the future holds -- a lengthy title reign, a run in the WWE, a chance to perform as singles wrestlers in the cruiserweight division or whatever else might happen -- their connection to the fans is simple and undeniably pure.Were two independent kids who just loved wrestling, Ciampa said. All we ever wanted to do is wrestle. Wholesale NFL Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Jerseys 2020 Cheap Stitched Jerseys NFL Jerseys China Wholesale NFL T-shirts ' ' '

DOVER, Del. -- Daniel Suarez jumped out of his car and sprinted down the front stretch to grab the checkered flag and take an untraditional victory lap on the track.I had to run a little bit. Thats fine, he said, laughing. When you win, you can run a little bit.Suarez cruised into the second round of the Chase in the Xfinity Series with a win Sunday at Dover International Speedway.He won his second career Xfinity race a day after rain washed out the race and forced a rare NASCAR doubleheader. NASCAR ran its first Xfinity-Cup doubleheader since April 25, 2010, at Talladega Superspeedway.Suarez became the first Mexican-born driver to win a NASCAR national race in June at Michigan. He became a part of NASCAR in 2011 and was involved in its Drive for Diversity and Next programs.Team owner Joe Gibbs has been a stout supporter of NASCARs diversity programs.From a diversity standpoint and all he represents there from a Hispanic standpoint too, I think its huge for our sport, he said. Hes the perfect representative. Hes funny, hes got a good sense of humor and I think he really, really appreciates where he is.Suarez said he was proud to learn in Victory Lane that he won during National Hispanic Heritage Month. He said he won for all of his fans across North America.Having all of the support that I have had from Mexico and from here in the U.S. and all of Latin America has been super special, he said. I really feel lucky to be in this position and to be able to represent all of them.Suarez led 123 of 200 laps in the No. 19 Toyota and joined Elliott Sadler in the second round of the Chase.Ryan Ellis was taken to a local hospital for observation after his car was hit hard in a crash during the race.

Austin Dillon, Kyle Busch and Joey Logano all had replacement drivers in the Xfinity race to focus on the Cup race scheduled for Sunday afternoon. Regan Smith finished 13th driving for Dillon; Drew Herring was 21st subbing for Busch; and Blaney filled in for Logano.Busch has eight Xfinity wins, Dillon has two and Logano has one this season.Allgaier said that even if the three stars raced, Suarez was still the driver to beat.I dont know that anybody was going to beat him today, Allgaier said. I think it was smart for the Cup guys to sit out. I think two races in one day would have been a strain, mentally.Ty Dillon, Ryan Sieg and Brandon Jones are in danger of being eliminated from the Chase next week at Charlotte Motor Speedway. So is Erik Jones, one of the top rising stars in the sport who entered the Chase as the top speed. Jones finished 16th and was 28th last week.Its pretty embarrassing not to even be in the Chase right now for the next round, Jones said. Its just unfortunate; its just something that I never would have seen it coming.ESPNs Bob Pockrass and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Duggar Baucom, the head coach of The Citadel, has coached against Virginia Tech several times going back to his days at VMI, and he knew what his team was getting into on its recent visit to play the Hokies and head coach Buzz WilliamsI sat here two years ago (in 2014) when I was at VMI and we played Buzz in his first year, Baucom said. I said, `The ACC better get him this year before he gets his guys in here.I think I have become a prophet.Ahmed Hill scored a career-high 22 points to lead streaking Virginia Tech to a 113-71 victory over The Citadel on Saturday.Hill, who has scored at least 20 points in back-to-back games, made 8 of 12 from the floor in guiding Virginia Tech (9-1) to its fifth straight victory and its 11th straight home win since last season.The Hokies, who are receiving votes in the Associated Press Top-25 poll, trailed 44-40 at halftime, thanks primarily to 11 first-half turnovers, but opened the second half with a 26-6 run and pulled away.I dont know we made any adjustments on either end, Williams said. I just think our mentality was much different (in the second). All the things that we did in the second half were things that we had worked and prepared to do in the first half. (But) very little of it was executed.Hill scored 12 points in the run, hitting three 3-pointers and converting a 3-point play, and the Hokies scored on 11 of their first 13 possessions.My teammates found me, Hill said. I was open, and I just tried to do my job -- which is to hit shots. I just kept shooting.Hill has hit a 3-pointer in every game this season and is shooting a team-best 46.8 percent from beyond the arc (29 of 62).Zach LeDay added 16 points for the Hokies, who outrebounded the Bulldogs 41-28 and whose 30 assists were one shy of the schools single-game record.Preston Parks paced The Citadel (7-5) with 20 points.BIG PICTUREThe Citadel: The Bulldogs, who have played a soft non-conference schedule, will need more production from Zane Najdawi against the better teams in the Southern Conference. He was averaging 20.1 points per game, but scored just two against Virginia Tech before fouling out with 9:58 left in the game.Virginia Tech: The Hokies lack depth, with Kerry Blackshear, Jr. out indefinitely with a foot injury and Johnny Hamilton out for the year with an injured thumb. Yet the Hokies eight primary players are productive. For the seventh time in 10 games, at least four reached double figures in scoring. That should bode well for them once Atlantic Coast Conference action starts.CLARKES TRIPLE-DOUBLEKhadim Sys 3-pointer at the buzzer gave Chris Clarke the final assist he needed to record what Virginia Tech communications staffers believe to be the first triple-double in school history. Clarke had 13 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.Its definitely cool, Clarke said of the feat.Hes a matchup horror movie, Williams said. I didnt realize it was a triple-double until right there at the very end, but thats cool.UP NEXTThe Citadel: The Bulldogs have little time to ponder what transpired Saturday, as they travel to Baltimore to take on UMBC on Monday night.Virginia Tech: The Hokies get ready for the penultimate game of their non-conference slate when they play at home game against Charleston Southern on Tuesday. They havent lost to the Buccaneers in five previous meetings. Authentic Chris Taylor Jersey .
