Bloomington, IN (SportsNetwork. Adidas Prophere Nederland .com) - The 22nd-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes go in search of their third straight Big Ten Conference victory when they pay a visit to the Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday. Ohio State suffered a surprising 71-65 home loss to Iowa in its Big Ten opener on Dec. 30, but the team has bounced back to thwart the upset bids of both Illinois (77-61) and Minnesota (74-72 OT). The Buckeyes, who are 13-3 overall, are playing only their true third road game here, their second in a row, and they have split their first two. Indiana has won 11 of its first 15 bouts, but it is 1-1 in conference after beating Nebraska (70-65) on the road in the opener, and then getting whipped at Michigan State this past Monday, 70-50. The Hoosiers are 9-1 at home this season, with the lone setback coming in a shocking 88-86 setback to Eastern Washington back on Nov. 24. Indiana leads the overall series with the Buckeyes 102-76, but the Buckeyes have won eight of the last 11 meetings, including four of the last six in Bloomington. Indiana won the only meeting a year ago, 72-64, and this bout marks the third consecutive game in the series played on the Hoosiers home floor. DAngelo Russell nailed five 3-pointers en route to 27 points, as Ohio State slipped by Minnesota in overtime last Tuesday. Marc Loving added 13 points, while Shannon Scott came close to notching a triple-double as he finished with nine points, seven rebounds and 10 assists. As a team, the Buckeyes converted 50.8 percent of their field goal attempts, while allowing 45.0 percent success to the Golden Gophers. Amir Williams logged five blocks for OSU, which outscored UM in the paint, 46-40. Russell has been Ohio States most consistent scorer this season, as he averages 18.3 ppg to go with 82 assists. Scott has 121 helpers, as he is one of the top playmakers in the country. Loving nets 12.3 ppg, and Sam Thompson 10.1 ppg for a team that generates 82.8 ppg behind typical shooting efforts of .522 overall, .405 from beyond the arc, and .712 from the foul line. The teams defensive effort yields only 60.3 ppg, with foes struggling to hit 38.7 percent of their total shots, which encompasses a 31.3 percent showing from downtown. Favorable margins in both rebounding (+4.5) and turnovers (+5.6) continue to keep the Buckeyes heading in the right direction. Poor shooting and a dismal showing on the glass proved to be Indianas undoing in its recent clash with Michigan State. The Hoosiers connected on only 28.3 percent of their field goal attempts, missing the mark on 19 of their 24 3- point tries along the way, while they were beaten badly in the rebounding battle by a ridiculous 50-28 margin. Yogi Ferrell was the only IU player to reach double figures in the 20-point loss, as he tallied 17 points. The other three starters combined for only 17 points. Indiana is scoring with the best teams in the conference, as it puts up 82.9 ppg thanks to shooting efforts that come in at .482 overall, .393 from 3-point land, and .719 at the charity stripe. Conversely, the teams defensive effort allows for 71.5 ppg, and foes are having trouble converting at the stripe, doing so just 59.4 percent of the time. James Blackmon, Jr. (16.6 ppg, 5.5 rpg), Ferrell (16.3 ppg, 4.9 apg) and Troy Williams (12.5 ppg, 5.6 rpg) are the teams top offensive weapons. Adidas NMD Te Koop . Eller said the Oilers were a "junior team" that was "all over the place" before Edmontons 4-3 victory over Montreal on Tuesday night, Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins took offence to Ellers comments and used it to motivate his youthful team.

Appearing on TSN 1050 on Tuesday, Sean McAdam of Comcast SportsNet New England reported that the Blue Jays, along with a number of other playoff contenders were in the mix for the Boston ace. http://www.nmdtekoop.com/stan-smith-sneakers.html . Messis father, Jorge Horacio Messi, is apparently still under investigation for an alleged 4 million euros ($5.3 million) in unpaid taxes from Messis image rights from 2007-09. Messis public relations firm confirmed Spanish media reports that the state prosecutor has asked for Messi to be dropped from the investigation that began in June 2013.Over the past two seasons, the B.C. Lions have had good teams that havent won a playoff game. And because of that those good teams are not remembered as exceptional, just non-producing playoff teams. This is a high pressure year in Lions football because of that fact. You can justify losing once, especially coming off a Grey Cup winning year, but losing twice transitions your team into re-evaluation and, sometimes, over-evaluation. Losing three times tends to lead to a more dramatic change. But can you build a team in May and June for success in October and November? Part of me thinks yes, if you have exceptional depth and a quarterback who performs at his best when the pressure is highest - playoff football. Also, a nice balance of veterans and youth helps on your roster. Veteran guys know and have the ability to rise to a challenge, a playoff game, because they know how to raise urgency both individually and collectively. My argument that you cant develop a playoff capable team early relates to how teams change as the season progresses. Injuries are the single biggest factor. If you lose a lot of players over a season it is difficult to find new performers to play as well as their predecessors. Or if you lose key players, a quarterback, a top defensive back, your best receiver, that individual may not be able to be replaced without a drop-off in production. When it comes to training camp and the regular season, all you can do is demand and hope for progressive and consistent improvement so come playoff time, you are at your best and competing against yourself. Last year BC was good on defence but needed to improve on offence. They finished with the third-ranked rrushing offence, averaging 107 yards per game, but only seventh in passing with 244 yards per game. Adidas NMD R2 Dames. . On the other side of the ball there was a clear contradiction. They allowed the fewest passing yards but were at the league bottom in red zone defence. It was tough to move the ball against the Lions between the 20s, yet easier from the 20-yard line in. The vast majority of the time the opposite is true: the closer to the goal line, the tougher to advance because the defence has less space to defend. An unusual contradiction. Still, when you study last season and notice that BC was seventh in kickoff returns and eighth in punt returns, you see just what may be the priority for improvement may not be anything with or without the ball. Where you start drives and the length of field you have to overcome determines success in a season as much as any other aspect of football. As always, the Lions strength will be personnel change at just the right time. More youth on the offensive line and more experience at quarterback will prove beneficial at key moments of the season. Travis Lulay will be ready to go but that is not the concern. It is whether he will be ready for 18 games as his shoulder will be tested at some point in the season. In what may turn out to be the smartest move in the draft, acquiring Kevin Glenn as a veteran alternative is a nice luxury that only half the league has.The Lions will win their fair share of games, maybe even more than what is fair. The question will be whether they can break the “one and done” streak in the playoffs. You cant really prepare for it until the week of. And that week is months away. ' ' '
