tell Siddikur and the other debutants not to try too many thin

Youd have to look hard to find flaws in a team that has outscored its opponents by an average of 31 points per game, but Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim eventually found something he could use to motivate his team following a 71-50 blowout of Monmouth on Friday.Boeheim, now in his 41st year at Syracuse, said the 17th-ranked Orange need to do a better job of protecting the ball when it faces South Carolina State in a Brooklyn Hoops Holiday Invitational game at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday at the Carrier Dome.Syracuse committed 16 turnovers against Monmouth Friday, including 10 in the second half, after turning the ball over a combined 20 times in its first two games against Colgate and Holy Cross.We cant have our point guards just giving the ball up like that, Boeheim said. They didnt score any points in the second half except off turnovers.Actually, the Hawks scored only eight of their 21 second-half points off turnovers. But its true that Orange point guards Frank Howard and John Gillon, who combined for 27 assists and five turnovers in the first two games, were both a little shaky against Monmouth with a combined seven assists and four turnovers.Im not worried about John. Hes a good player and he went against a good kid (Friday) thats really good (Monmouth point guard Justin Robinson), Boeheim said. He made a couple of mistakes, Frank made a couple of mistakes. Thats why we play these games, to try to learn from those mistakes.The Orange will play another one of these games Tuesday against a South Carolina State team that fell to 1-2 Friday after a 92-50 loss to South Carolina. The Brooklyn Hoops Holiday Invitational is a five-team, round-robin tournament that includes Syracuse, South Carolina, South Carolina State, Monmouth and Holy Cross.Last season, the Bulldogs enjoyed their best season since 2005 as they finished 19-15 overall and 12-4 in the Mid-Eastern Atlantic Conference and advanced to the title game of the MEAC Tournament. The leagues coaches and athletic directors picked S.C. State to finish second in the MEAC this year behind Howard -- the first time since 2003 the Bulldogs have been picked as high as second in the preseason.But with six new players, the Bulldogs are still finding their way as they were thumped by a strong Wichita State team 85-39 and defeated NAIA member St. Andrews University 93-76 before losing to South Carolina. The Bulldogs shot only 30.8 percent (16-for-52) and were outrebounded 47-24 against the Gamecocks, and theyll have to do far better than that if they want to stay in the game against Syracuse.It was a tough loss for our team tonight against a very talented and well-coached South Carolina team, but we have to learn from this and keep moving forward, said Bulldogs coach Murray Gavin, the 2015-16 MEAC Coach of the Year. They had 28 second-chance points to our four and that was the deciding factor down the stretch.The Bulldogs are led by All-MEAC Preseason first-team selection Eric EJ Eaves, who averaged 17.3 points per game last season and is scoring at a 15.3-point clip this year. Fifth-year transfer guard Andrew White is leading the Orange in scoring at 18 points per game and hes shooting 38.5 percent (10 of 26) from 3-point range. Adidas Nmd Dame Udsalg . Louis. To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less.

Aduriz headed home Markel Susaetas cross in the sixth minute to open the scoring at San Mames Stadium. He bettered that with a long-range blast that went in off the goal frame in the 18th, and converted a penalty in the 72nd after Diego Mainz was sent off for fouling Aduriz with only the goalkeeper to beat.

Born and raised in Toronto, Bradwell is entering his sixth CFL season, with all six played for his hometown Argonauts. Bangladesh made its Olympics debut as a nation in 1984. It remains one of 73 countries to never have won a medal of any hue. For that history to change, most Bangladesh sports fans are looking to golfer Siddikur Rahman, fittingly born in the same year that his nation took its bow in Los Angeles.Rahman is also the first Bangladeshi who has qualified directly for the quadrennial event, making the cut for the top 60 golfers in the Olympic rankings in July.Rahman is looking forward to make the most of this opportunity, which he calls the greatest possible thing to have happened in his career.Eta te aami kemni bhaabe inspire hoyechi, eta aami aapna ke bojhatey paarbo na (I cannot explain to you how much inspiration I have taken from this), says Rahman. The lift that the media and the fans back home have given me as well as the pride that I have been feeling since is just phenomenal. Erokom ishara aami kokhono paayini (I have never got this kind of a response before).Qualifying for the Olympics would have been far from Rahmans mind when his association with the sport began as a forecaddie -- or a ballboy, as they are called in Bangladesh -- often employed in golf clubs to walk ahead of the golfers and spot the balls when they land.I used to work at the Kurmitola Golf Club, since I lived within two kilometres of the course, and thats where my interest in the game developed, recalls Rahman of those early days as an eager teenager. My friends used to play, and I would sometimes join them for fun. I never had any equipment or clubs of my own.The turning point came in 1999 when a 15-year-old Rahman was invited by his employers to participate in a selection trial for the national team. Playing with equipment and clothing loaned out by the club he worked for on a daily basis, Rahman says he staved off competition from 150 others to earn a place in the national team.You must realise that golf is a very new sport for Bangladesh, he says when talking of his first eight years as an amateur, a time that included an appearance in the individual event in the 2006 Asian Games in Doha. Though there have been professional golfers before me, nobody has competed on the Asian Tour or won professionally abroad before me. But the best part of this qualification has been the appreciation that I have got.Rahman is the winner of the Brunei Open 2010 aand Indian Open 2013, both Asian Tour events which had several familiar names on the major circuit.dddddddddddd. Two of those names were tied-second and a shot behind him when he won the Indian Open in New Delhi three years ago. I am looking forward to meeting both Anirban Lahiri and SSP Chawrasia, says Rahman. Anirban and I turned pro in the same year. Anirban and I won our [foursomes] match in the EurAsia Cup [in 2014]. Its great fun meeting these guys because we speak the same languages. I have picked up a fair amount of Hindi and they speak Bangla well too.Rahman would do well to heed the advice of Asif Hossain Khan, who went into the 2004 Athens Olympics as the reigning Commonwealth Games champion in the mens 10m air rifle, but finished 35th after failing to qualify for the final. The step up from the Asian Games and the Commonwealth Games up to the Olympics is a massive one, says Khan. You can get overexcited sometimes, and there is always pressure. When I won gold at the Commonwealth Games I was really happy, but you realise that your responsibilities go up too. I would just tell Siddikur and the other debutants not to try too many things and carry the honour of the country.Another connection between Khan and Rahman is that they were both the flagbearers for their modest contingents at the opening ceremony -- Rahman had four wildcard compatriots for company as opposed to Khans three.Khan remembers meeting Abhinav Bindra among other sportspersons and cherishes how all sportspersons he met treated him with respect. Rahman too has his sights set on the stars he admires and wants to meet. I would want to meet Roger Federer, Michael Phelps and the Williams sisters, he says. If I meet them, I would love to have a chat and maybe take a selfie with them.His focus has always been on the game, as one would expect from someone who has kept up his habit of spending eight hours every day in practice since landing in Rio de Janeiro on August 3.Golf is a very strange game, says Rahman. Your time can come on any given day. I just want to seek the blessings of my countrymen. Please pray for me. I want to perform well. This will be a massive moment for me.(Additional reporting by Mohammad Isam in Dhaka) ' ' '
