Indiana might have lost the best point guard in the Big 10 Conference to graduation in Yogi Ferrell, but if the seasons first two games are any indication, it has regained perhaps the conferences most explosive scorer.Back from a torn right ACL he suffered last December, 6-foot-4 junior guard James Blackmon Jr. has scored 26 and 23 points in wins over Kansas and UMass Lowell, respectively. Blackmon is canning 55.2 percent of his field goal tries, including an impressive 9-of-17 on 3-pointers.Whats more, Blackmon has enjoyed 20-point halves in both games. He victimized Kansas in the second half and extra period of a 103-99 overtime win at the Armed Forces Classic in Honolulu, then picked up where he left off in the first half of Wednesdays 100-78 pounding of UMass Lowell with another 20 points.So Blackmon, Jr. will be in the spotlight again Saturday night when the sixth-ranked Hoosiers continue the Indiana Classic at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Ind., against Liberty.I think theres a confidence when they look at him, Hoosiers coach Tom Crean said of Blackmon. James is a lot more explosive than what he was. Hes playing with more force. Hes playing downhill more. Hes covering more ground.I think the fact that hes moving the ball, that hes getting better defensively, thats a really good thing. To come back from an injury like that and to be a better athlete than he even was and be stronger like he is, that takes a little time for him to get used to.Blackmons presence forces opponents to respect him from 25 feet and in, leading to more scoring opportunities for teammates like 6-10 center Thomas Bryant (14 points per game, 7.5 rebounds), 6-8 forward OG Anunoby (14 points, 5.5 rebounds) and 6-3 point guard Robert Johnson (13 points, 3.5 assists).Indianas offense has been clicking on nearly all cylinders so far, canning 50 percent of its field goal attempts and nearly 45 percent on 3-pointers (26-of-58). Its ability to either get to the rim or create open 3s can test any defense.Liberty (1-1) will counter with a defense the Hoosiers have battled before -- the pack line scheme created by Dick Bennett and still run by the likes of Wisconsin and Virginia. Fourth-year coach Ritchie McKays squad held up-tempo VCU to 64 points in a five-point home loss Tuesday night.I thought everyone came in and battled, and you have to play well on the defensive end to have a chance, McKay said to the Lynchburg (Va.) News & Advance. And we had a chance.The Flames are expected to challenge Winthrop for the Big South Conference title with the return of four starters, plus the arrival of 6-7 freshman forward Brock Gardner. McKay, in his second stint as Liberty coach, said Gardner is the best player he has landed there since signing Seth Curry in 2008.Former Marquette guard John Dawson, a 6-2 senior, is the teams leading scorer at 14.5 points per game. Libertys tallest starter is 6-5, 255-pound forward Myo Baxter-Bell, which will put it at a serious disadvantage inside against the likes of Bryant and Anunoby.It is Indianas second game in the Indiana Classic and Libertys first. The Flames will host UMass Lowell, Mississippi Valley State and Central Penn in their other games in the event. The Hoosiers visit Fort Wayne and host Mississippi Valley State next week to finish their games in the event. Amari Cooper Jersey . -- Bobby Ryan helped the U. John Matuszak Jersey .

LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. Eddie Vanderdoes Jersey . Just not the game. Kyle Palmieri scored two straight goals in the third period to rally the Anaheim Ducks past the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Tuesday night. Jim Plunkett Jersey . Reassurance came from Paul Tesori, his caddie and close friend whose newborn son is in intensive care in a Florida hospital. "Paul sent me a text this morning, just told me he loved me and wanted to go out and fight as hard as I would any other day," Simpson said Sunday after doing just that. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Allen Robinsons season of discontent became evident in Jacksonvilles latest loss.Robinson yanked off his helmet and started yelling at an official early in the fourth quarter of a 20-10 loss to Denver on Sunday. It was a clear reaction to a disappointing year in which the 2015 Pro Bowl receiver has 56 receptions for 622 yards and six touchdowns.Robinson was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct and later unleashed months of aggravation -- at not getting calls, not winning games and not improving on a 1,400-yard, 14-touchdown sophomore campaign.Ive never been this frustrated playing the game of football in my life, Robinson said after the game.Robinson caught three passes for 31 yards against the Broncos. He was targeted a team-high 10 times, but two of those resulted in interceptions. Von Miller hit Blake Bortles as he tried to throw to Robinson across the middle , and the ball was intercepted and returned for a touchdown.Earlier in the game, Bortles tried to find Robinson down the sideline, but he bobbled the ball and deflected it into a defenders hands.The Jaguars (2-10) finished with three turnovers that proved to be the difference in the game. They lost their seventh consecutive game and fell to 0-5 at EverBank Field this season.Its tough, but at the end of the day for me, thats out of my control, Robinson said. It is what it is. I try to go out there and not think too much about the negative outcome and just try to come out there and make the plays. I know its been a little bit tougher, but the end of the day, just try to go out there and keep pushing.Robinson is tied for sixth in the league with 116 targets in 2016, but his 48.2 percent catch rate is among the worst in the league. There are a number of contributing factors, most notably Bortles continued inaccuracy.Robinson also has six drops, including three that resulted in interceptions, and has seen significantly more cloud and double coverage in his third season.dddddddddddd. Defenders also have gotten away with being more aggressive with the second-round pick from Penn State.Id rather not talk about this amazing officiating that weve had throughout the course of the season, Robinson said. But, it is what it is.Theres little doubt that Robinson hasnt gotten all the calls hes deserved this year. Before his 15-yard penalty Sunday, it looked like Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib was draped on his back before the fourth-down pass even got to him.Whenever a player has success in the league, you try to take away what they do well, Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said. Thats what our conversations were in the offseason. When you do well, you might see rolled coverage, you might see a safety over the top. Theyre going to take it to another level if you have a good year because they feel like they need to take you out of your game.You need to be able to adjust to that. He has. At times, its frustrating, but thats part of it. Hes going to do some of that when you target like that. You just have to win in other ways.Robinson hasnt, at least not with any consistency.He has eight receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown in the last three games. And he might another tough go Sunday against Minnesota (6-6) and Xavier Rhodes, who is considered one of the best young cornerbacks in the league.One thing Robinson might do, especially after another non-call prompted his eruption, is start playing more physical.Maybe its me, he said. Maybe I should start upping my physicality. Ill take a look at that as well. Im not going to say its not on me, because obviously I guess it is. Ive got to go in the lab and try to figure something out.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Discount Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Baseball Jerseys Free Shipping Cheapest College Jerseys Sale Cheap Football Jerseys China Nike NFL Jerseys Canada Wholesale NHL Jerseys From China MLB Jerseys Outlet Canada Wholesale NBA Jerseys Canada Store Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap Authentic Jerseys Canada ' ' '
