LAHAINA, Hawaii -- Tennessee played well for stretches, had a few lapses in Maui. The Vols lost to a pair of ranked teams and closed out the tournament by beating a team they were supposed to.The three-day trip, one Tennessee coach Rick Barnes initially wanted to get out of, is definitely something the young Vols can build on for the rest of the season.Robert Hubbs III scored 28 points, Detrick Mostella added 14 and Tennessee beat host Chaminade 95-81 Wednesday to take seventh place in the Maui Invitational.I cant tell you how proud I am of the way they came out today and responded, because they really laid it out there for two days against two really top 20 teams, Barnes said. But I think well leave here knowing that were capable of playing and beating anybody on our schedule.Tennessee (2-3) had an inconsistent trip to Maui, playing well for stretches against No. 16 Wisconsin and No. 13 Oregon, ultimately losing to both.The Vols didnt have much trouble with the Division II Silverswords, using a short run late in the first half to build an 11-point lead and sustaining it through the second half.Tennessee shot 52 percent and had a 52-32 advantage in the paint. Shembari Phillips had 12 points and Jordan Bowden 11 for the Vols.I think our progress has been very good, said Hubbs, who was 10 for 19 from the floor and made all seven of his free throws. We had two close battles in Wisconsin and Oregon, two really great teams, and we put up a fight and it just shows how good this team can be.Chaminade (2-3) closed out another Maui Invitational by putting a scare into power programs again, notably UConn in the second round.The Silverswords kept Tennessee from turning their finale into a rout by hitting 9-of-25 3-pointers.Rohndell Goodwin led Chaminade with 22 points and Kiran Shastri added 19.I think this experience is going to really, really help us, Chaminade coach Eric Bovaird said. I think were going to be a strong team in Division II.Chaminades deep shooting allowed the Silverswords to keep No. 4 North Carolina close for about 10 minutes in the opener and UConn until the closing minutes in the second round.Chaminade again kept up with a power program behind its perimeter shooting, still within 23-21 of Tennessee near the midpoint of the first half.The Vols began to extend the lead behind Phillips, who had 12 points by halftime to put Tennessee up 51-40.Hubbs took over in the second half, scoring 12 points in the opening nine minutes to keep the Vols cushion over double figures. Hobbs punctuated Tennessees Maui finale with a tomahawk dunk over Nate Pollard, Chaminades 7-foot-1 center.It was just back to the mental lapses, said Goodwin, who played through a sprained left ankle in the second half. Thats something we have to work on. We have to learn how to keep fighting not to put our head down.BIG PICTURETennessee showed flashes of what it could do in Maui, though not consistently. The Vols leave with a win, but it was against a team they should beat.Chaminade: Another year in Maui, another batch of games for the Silverswords to build upon for the rest of the season.UP NEXTTennessee hosts Georgia Tech on Dec. 3.Chaminade hosts Hawaii Hilo on Nov. 30.

Cricket Ireland have unveiled plans for the first dedicated outdoor cricket training complex in Ireland, giving top performers of both sexes and all ages the best facilities to help develop their skills on the Sport Ireland National Sports Campus.The Cricket Ireland Performance Centre will mean that cricket becomes the latest sport to join the Sport Ireland site at Blanchardstown in Dublin. The development will feature 14 grass nets, five artificial pull-out bays, a 90m outfield, plus seating and storage areas.The €600,000 development has been made possible thanks to support from the ICC, the Irish Government and Sport Ireland and a personal benefactor, Denis OBrien.The development of Cricket Irelands first-ever dedicated outdoor training centre is a huge step forward for Irish cricket, said Cricket Ireland CEO Warren Deutrom.For the first time, our performance squads - male and female, senior and junior, national, provincial and academy - will be able to train on a day-to-day basis in a state-of-the-art facility controlled by Cricket Ireland.We are grateful to the Government and Sport Ireland for providing us with the land, and to the ICC which is clearly increasing its support for Irelands aspirations - by granting first-class status to our Hanley Energy Inter-provincial competition; through our elevation to the 12-team ODI structure; and by granting an additional $500k in 2016 and 2017 to help us afford the matches.Deutrom also lauded the individual involvement of Denis OBrien, an Irish billionaire and media mogul.I would also like to extend our particular gratitude to Denis OBrien, who continues to play a vital, yet unheralded role, in the growth of Irish cricket, he said. For the last 10 years Denis has always been ready to answer our call - from supporting our team in the Caribbean World Cup in 2007 and then our first cohort of contracted players, to helping us stage our major mattches and, now, helping us build our first outdoor performance centre.dddddddddddd He has played a central role in helping us punch above our weight on the world stage and, for this, we are enormously grateful.Sport Ireland Chief Executive, John Treacy welcomed the new development saying: Earlier this year Cricket Ireland launched an ambitious strategic plan which aims to make cricket mainstream, and the development of these world class training facilities at the Sport Ireland National Sports Campus will assist this objective as the sport continues to grow.Cricket Ireland performance director, Richard Holdsworth, explained the rationale behind the new development, saying: There is a pressing requirement for such a facility to be built to service our increasing number of performance teams, as we found existing clubs are already overstretched in terms of hosting Cricket Ireland activity due to the impressive growth in participation figures in recent years.The facility will also provide a training venue for touring overseas teams; New Zealand, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and West Indies will visit Ireland in 2017.We have found that access to high-quality outdoor facilities has been a consistent theme emerging from the last two post-World Cup reviews, Holdsworth said. We have previously announced warm-weather outdoor plans for the La Manga Club Development (which is almost complete) and this home-based facility will augment that perfectly.We already have four ODI-accredited facilities in Ireland, but no quality outdoor training facilities so this will remedy that.Work on the new facility is expected to start subject to the necessary planning permissions in early 2017 with the artificial area being completed ahead of the season and the grass nets operational in 2018.
