EAST LANSING, Mich.
Von Miller Youth Jersey . -- Coach Tom Izzo
believes his team learns more from a loss to a ranked opponent than an easy win
against a lightweight.Perhaps so, but Michigan State needs to start collecting
victories.The No. 13 Spartans lost a buzzer-beater to No. 10 Arizona in the
Armed Forces Classic at Honolulu, Hawaii on Friday, then got dismantled by No. 2
Kentucky 69-48 in the Champions Classic at New Yorks Madison Square Garden on
Tuesday.The level of opposition drops considerably on Friday when the Spartans
(0-2) face winless Mississippi Valley State at the Breslin Center. The Delta
Devils have lost their first three games by an average of 34 points.Izzo isnt
surprised his team is winless at this stage, considering that freshmen are
playing prominent roles.Teams are beating (opponents) by 30 and getting a false
feeling of where they are really at, Izzo told media outlets. I told my guys,
Youre gonna get exposed. But we look at two-thirds of that (Kentucky) game and
say, OK, we played pretty good. We took a couple of punches in the mouth and
hung in there.Michigan States defense was not the issue against the Wildcats. It
held Kentucky to 38.3 percent shooting but couldnt get into any flow with its
half-court offense. The Spartans shot 32.8 percent from the field, made just
five of 26 3-point tries, missed six of nine free throws and committed 20
turnovers. Kentucky turned those giveaways into 24 points, while Michigan State
scored only four fast-break points.Were a little tired. Were a little worn out,
Izzo said of the cross-country travel. Weve got to get back to the drawing board
as coaches and do a better job with the execution.Swingman Miles Bridges, the
Spartans most highly touted newcomer, had a brutal night in New York. He scored
six points on 2-for-11 shooting and committed nine turnovers.Izzo believes
Bridges will benefit in the long run from that experience.Miles Bridges is one
of the most coachable great players, Izzo told the Detroit News. He still
competed, didnt hang his head -- but he did struggle and got his butt kicked.
But good players self-evaluate and get better from it, where if he scored 30
points against Sisters of the Poor, it wouldnt have mattered.Bridges is still
the only Spartan averaging double figures at 13.5 points per game.Senior guard
Eron Harris, the Spartans top returning scorer, needs to rediscover his
offensive touch after being a non-factor the first two games. Hes averaging
nearly as many turnovers (3.5) as points (4.5).Mississippi Valley State, a
Southwestern Athletic Conference club, has offered little resistance in its
three losses. The Delta Devils fell to another Big Ten team, Northwestern, in
its opener 94-63. They were subsequently blown out by West Virginia 107-66 and
Kent State 93-63.Senior guard Marcus Romain is the teams leading scorer at 12.7
points per game. Romain averaged 18.6 points last season. Senior guard Isaac
Williams is the only other player averaging double digits at 10.3.Mississippi
Valley State lost its first 14 games last season and finished with an 8-27
record.
Drew Lock Womens Jersey . The (11-11-4) Jets
are seventh in the Central Division with 26 points. Fifth place Dallas and
sixth-seeded Nashville also have 26 points, but the Stars have three games in
hand on Winnipeg while Nashville has two.

Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string.

. -- Josh Sterk scored once and set up two more as the Oshawa Generals edged the
visiting Belleville Bulls 3-2 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.A
below-par Saracens stepped up in the second half to beat Premiership rivals
Northampton 29-20 in their European Champions Cup quarter-final on Saturday.
Saracens extended their unbeaten record in the Champions Cup but were guilty of
indiscipline and careless mistakes allowing Northampton to take a 10-6 lead into
the break.Saracens had romped through the group stage with six wins,claiming a
try-scoring bonus point in all but one of them, and were firm favourites against
an injury-ridden Northampton side. It took a 69th minute try from Chris Ashton
to push a team parading six of Englands Grand Slam winners clear, the wing
switching on the afterburners and picking a clever line to cross in the corner.
Billy Vunipola on the charge for Saracens Ashtons try lifted his tally since
completing a 10-week ban for making contact with the eye area of Ulsters Luke
Marshall to three in two games.On the other wing, Chris Wyles plundered a late
opportunist try to assure victory, while Owen Farrell finished with a 19-point
haul that saw him complete every shot at goal.The result has set up an
all-Premiership semi-final against Wasps, who were last-gasp winners over Exeter
earlier in the afternoon, at the Madejski Stadium on April 23.Northampton were
squeezed into submission during the final quarter, but the fact they had pushed
the tournament favourites so hard was an achievement in itself given their
injury crisis.Eight front line players numbering 207 caps - among them Dylan
Hartley, Tom Wood and George North - had been lost to the treatment room yet
they were magnificent with backs-rows Teimana Harrison and Ben Nutley
outstanding. Teimana Harrison of Northampton breaks with the ball against
Saracens For all their injury problems, it was Northampton who left 11 points
begging during an impressive start that saw the sin-binning of Saracens openside
Will Fraser for a late tackle on Ben Foden.Stephen Myler pushed two simple
penalties wide of the uprights before wing Jamie Elliott blundered by dropping
the ball over the line when all he had to do was touch down.
Gary Zimmerman Womens Jersey. In the same
move, Nutley failed to put Kahn Fotualii through an obvious hole.The try
eventually came in the 16th minute, however, when Harrison easily rounded
opposite number Billy Vunipola, broke down the right touchline before feeding
Ken Pisi for the try. Maro Itoje picked up the man of the match award as
Saracens beat Northampton Farrell replied with a penalty but Northampton
remained in control with a mazy run from Elliott launching an attack that
finished when Myler steered the ball between the posts.Billy Vunipola ran over
Harrison from a scrum and Petrus Du Plessis blasted a hole as the favourites
made a bulldozing start to the second half, but Taylors try was ruled out after
Fraser had blocked Luther Burrell.With a strong wind at their backs, Saracens
were happy to kick down field but Northamptons mix of intelligence and
determination kept them in the hunt against the odds.Myler and Farrell swapped
penalties to leave Saints 13-12 ahead before Courtney Lawes flattened England
team-mate Farrell as a nerve-shredding final quarter counted down.It was
Saracens who found the extra gear when it was needed, creating the gap for
Ashton to dash over before Wyles brought a sense of relief to Allianz
Park. Lawes late try ensured the scoreline was kinder to Saints.
