They may have suffered a ninth loss of the season, but Queensland Reds got a
glimpse of what the future may hold as Taniela Tongan Thor made his Super Rugby
debut.
Kenny Bigelow Jr. Jersey .The former New
Zealand schoolboy sensation came off the bench as a replacement for Greg Holmes
in the 35th minute in the 43-24 defeat by the Brumbies, making eight runs for 19
metres and four tackles, all before scoring the games final try.But it was his
scrummaging that was most impressive, particularly given he was up against
Wallabies loosehead Scott Sio.To see Taniela Tupou come off the bench, you know
earlier than what we had thought, played 55 minutes of football and we know he
can run, hes explosive and he showed that, Reds coach Nick Stiles said.But to
see him step up and scrummage the way he did for a 19/20-year-old footballer
playing your first game against Scott Sios and [Allan] Alaalatoas, its so
exciting for us moving forward. You know we wanted to win tonight, but if you
cast your mind forward to next season and you look at the players were talking
about now, theres a lot of hope and optimism.While Tupou was making his Super
Rugby debut, a couple of old hands also returned to the southern hemisphere
provincial scene.Former Waratahs lock Kane Douglas and former Bath back-rower
Leroy Houston both came off the bench in the 50th and 57th minutes respectively,
with Houston in particular lifting the Reds tempo late on.Theyre world class I
think, Reds captain James Slipper said of the experienced duo.Kane, we all know
what he did last year, so were excited with the fact that were getting a bit of
experience back into the team. Leroy has been around the Reds for a long period,
he was there when I first started, so he knows what to expect. I think with the
more footy hes playing with us, the better.Theyre both quality players and the
more minutes they play its only going to help us.And the praise didnt stop there
with Stiles glowing in his assessment of rookie lock Lukhan Tui.Yeah as Slips
[Slipper] mentioned, Kane and Leroy, it was great to have them back but for me
we know what they can do -- we know theyre very good footballers, Stiles
said.But for me, I was actually more excited about the performances of Lukhan
Tui; you know who before tonight, hed had 10 minutes off the bench in South
Africa, and to see him start tonight against Sam Carter, (Scott) Fardy; youre
playing against (Rory) Arnold; youre playing against a good forward pack and gee
he stood up and he played physical and athletic. So I was really happy with
him.While the Reds final hopes were dashed long ago, some late-season
improvement can only help their cause for next year with Wallabies captain
Stephen Moore also set to return to Ballymore in 2017.Rumours also suggest Quade
Cooper will be back in Brisbane, too, with Michael Cheika keen to have him
involved with the Wallabies as soon as he negotiates a return to Super Rugby.
Devine Ozigbo Jersey . LOUIS -- Lance Lynn
was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St.

. Tracey comes to the Blue Bombers after spending over a decade with Queens
University. Most recently he was the schools assistant football coach. AMES,
Iowa -- Iowa State will spend the next two months playing in one the toughest
leagues in the country.The Cyclones wont be able to struggle for more than a
half like they did on Tuesday and expect to compete in the Big 12.Senior Matt
Thomas scored a career-high 23 points to lead Iowa State past Mississippi Valley
State 88-60, helping the Cyclones post back-to-back wins for the first time in a
month.Naz Mitrou-Long had 19 points and Monte Morris scored 13 for the Cyclones
(8-3), who shot 50 percent from 3-point range and finished on a 32-11 run.But
Iowa State, plagued by turnovers, let winless Mississippi Valley State (0-12)
rip off a 16-3 run in the first half and trailed the winless Delta Devils 25-24
at one point. The Cyclones also let MVSU grab 13 offensive rebounds.We had good
stretches. We had bad stretches, said Mitrou-Long, who has scored 56 points in
his last two games after struggling earlier this season. We cant get beat on the
offensive glass.The Cyclones eventually overwhelmed MVSU as expected, jumping
ahead 78-53 on a Thomas layup with just over six minutes left.Isaac Williams and
Darrell Riley each scored 18 for the Delta Devils. They were outrebounded
43-28.Weve got to just get our tenacity and our swagger back on defense, Prohm
said.BIG PICTUREIowa State: The Cyclones non-conference record is just
eighth-best in the Big 12, which entered Tuesday with half of its members at
10-1 or better. Iowa State is much more likely to finish in the middle of the
league than at the top of it -- but the Cyclones at least have a lot more depth
than it did in 2015-16. Still, letting one of the nations worst teams hang
aaround until well into the second half isnt a good look for the Cyclones.
Ethan Greenidge Jersey. Mississippi Valley
State: The Delta Devils open the season with 14 straight road games. But theyll
stay in central Iowa to face Drake on Thursday -- a game they can win. The
Bulldogs are 1-10.CARELESSIowa State was extremely sloppy with the ball in the
first half, committing 10 turnovers -- its season average -- in the first 16:35.
The Delta Devils turned those mistakes into 15 points, and thats the main reason
they stayed competitive for as long as they did. The Cyclones finished with 15
turnovers.GOING YOUNGIowa States senior centers, Darrell Bowie (five points, two
rebounds) and Merrill Holden (three points) struggled again, which might mean
freshman Solomon Youngs will soon go up. The 6-foot-8, 240-pound Young has had
issues with foul trouble early in his career. But Young had eight points and
seven rebounds in just 15 minutes Tuesday.HE SAID ITWhen we play the way we have
to play, because we are small, we do have to have a little nastiness to us. When
we do that, I think the non-conference schedule has proven that we can play with
anyone in the country, Prohm said. You wish the one game here (or there) you
didnt drop, but its all about finishing games.UP NEXTIowa State opens Big 12
play on Dec. 30 when it hosts Texas Tech. The Red Raiders are 10-1, but their
schedule has been far from taxing.MVSU will travel just 35 miles south to face
Drake Thursday.---More college basketball at
