Fort Worth, TX (SportsNetwork.
Rose Lavelle Jersey .com) - It took an extra
session, but No. 21 Baylor prevailed over TCU, 66-59, on Saturday. Defenses
shined in this game with the teams combining to shoot 33.6 percent and make just
3-of-25 from behind the arc. Taurean Prince scored 17 points and grabbed 10
rebounds for the Bears (12-3, 1-2 Big 12), and Rico Gathers added 17 points and
a career-high 18 boards. The Horned Frogs (13-3, 0-3) lost for the third
straight game after finishing non-conference play undefeated. They have now lost
21 games in a row in Big 12 play. Kyan Anderson tallied 16 points for TCU, its
only player to reach double figures. The entire game was played in a 12-point
window in which neither team led by more than five until the Bears hit four free
throws in the final 10 seconds of OT. With shots not falling from the floor, the
teams needed to get to the line, but they are each among the worst free
throw-shooting teams in the country. Baylor made 31-of-46 shots from the charity
stripe, and TCU made just 15-of-28 attempts. I thought TCU defensively was
outstanding, said Baylor coach Scott Drew. The good thing is we found a way down
late to come back and get a win in the Big 12. At the end of the day, its tough
to win the game let alone a road game. TCU took its biggest lead with 4:46 to go
in regulation on Amric Fields layup, but a Prince dunk and Lester Medford
three-point play tied the game. With 1:21 to go, Karviar Shepherds jumper broke
a 51-51 tie, but Kenny Cherys shot at the other end brought Baylor even. Baylor
had possession of the ball with an approximate one-second difference between the
shot and game clock, but TCU forced a shot clock violation with less than a
second in regulation. Video replay showed 1.7 seconds remained for TCU to try
and win in regulation. However, after Anderson received the inbounds pass, he
stumbled and could not get a shot off. The Bears never trailed in overtime after
Chery hit a pair of free throws on their first possession. The Frogs shot just
1-of-6 from the field in OT. We are a better team than we have shown, especially
with free throws and turnovers. We just have to fix that, said Anderson. A
back-and-forth first half ended in a 28-28 tie. After Baylor made three of its
first four shots from the field, it made just two of its next 17. Kenrich
Williams jumper with 4:37 to go in the first half put TCU up 21-19, but the
Horned Frogs did not hit from the field again before the break. Game Notes TCU

John Tortorella was to be given one big advantage as head coach last season -
there was to be no goaltending controversy. After a year dominated by the
Roberto Luongo vs. Cory Schneider narrative, GM Mike Gillis finally put an end
to it shipping Schneider to the New Jersey Devils. Luongo was the man left
standing and this was to be his team. But things didnt go remotely to plan.
Tortorella had the Canucks play a defence-first approach with an emphasis on
blocking shots rather than the high-transition game that took them to a Stanley
Cup Final. The Sedins found themselves with newfound defensive assignments and
they floundered. Henriks NHL iron man streak ended in January with bruised ribs
and he went on to miss the Winter Olympics. Daniels season was cut short late in
the year with a groin injury. Tortorella even played a starring role in the
Canucks 2013-14 sideshow in January when he took exception to a line-brawl that
broke out between the Canucks and Calgary Flames. Tortorella stormed the Flames
dressing room at the intermission and had to be physically restrained in his
attempts to get at Calgary coach Bob Hartley. Tortorella was suspended 15 days
(including six Canucks games) without pay, banning him from contact with the
team. As it turned out, the goaltending controversy was not actually over.
Neither Luongo nor back-up Eddie Lack sparkled last season, but when Tortorella
chose to start Lack over Luongo in the outdoor Heritage Classic in early March,
the team once again invited contention. Just days later, Luongo and his almost
immovable contract were dealt to the Florida Panthers. The Canucks won just
eight games after the incident in Calgary, going 8-18-1 to finish the season and
earning the NHLs seventh-worst record. Both coach and GM were dismissed at the
end of the season to conclude a year that the Canucks would like to forget,
missing the playoffs for just the third time in 13 seasons. Scott Cullens

Now: The page has now been completely turned on last years disastrous season
with new management in place. Club legend Trevor Linden was installed as
president of hockey operations and his first hire was GM Jim Benning. Willie
Desjardins, fresh off of leading the Dallas Stars AHL-affiliate to a Calder Cup
triumph, was named the teams new head coach. The team also moved quickly to
address Ryan Keslers future with the club, trading him to the Anaheim Ducks for
Nick Bonino and Luca Sbisa (and a 2014 first-rounder). On July 1, Ryan Miller
was brought in to man the crease. While he wasnt the piece to put the St. Louis
Blues over the top, Miller could thrive in Vancouver. A workhorse of a goalie,
the Vezina trophy winner brings experience and a winning pedigree. The defence
in front of Luongo is largely unchanged from last season, aside from the
addition of Sbisa, who slots into the top four and could see more ice time and
responsibility than he did last season with the Ducks. Bonino was the
third-leading scorer on the Ducks last season and centred their first unit on
the power play. The Canucks hope he might be able to improve on Keslers
production on the second line and he is certain to be given the opportunity for
big power play minutes. In Radim Vrbata, the Canucks bring a winger who became a
consistent goal scorer out of the media spotlight in Phoenix. Vrbata likely gets
placed on the top line with the Sedins and will be playing with the most skilled
linemates hes ever had in his career. A full year next to the sibling duo and
its not unreasonable to think that Vrbata can once again crack the 30-goal mark.
But everything falls back on the Sedins. Desjardins understands that his stars
are 34-yyears-old and when healthy, remain elite playmakers.
Julie Johnston Soccer Jersey. Putting the
twins back into the roles in which theyre accustomed should go a long way to
making sure that last season was an aberration. TSN Vancouver reporter Farhan
Laljis Five Key Storylines heading into training camp: 1. Can the Sedins bounce
back? After putting up MVP-type numbers the first month of last season, Daniel
and Henrik were signed to four-year, $28 million extensions. From that moment
on, their production plummeted to levels not seen since their first two years in
the league. If the twins cant return to point-per game players, their contracts
will be seen as anchors despite being two of the most popular Canucks ever. 2.
Will Alex Edler live up to his potential? The Canucks had the opportunity move
him before his no-trade clause kicked in last July to the Red Wings for a pair
of young forwards but chose not to. He finished with a league-worst minus-39
last season, but new Canucks president Trevor Linden still gave him a vote of
confidence when he took over the reins. Edler is just two years removed from a
career-high 49-point season, but since then play has been marred by injuries and
inconsistency. 3. What kind of an impact will Ryan Miller have? He will be
counted on significantly by a team that had plenty of problems scoring goals a
year ago. When he was acquired by the Blues at last years trade deadline he did
not live up to expectations. Will a full training camp with his new team make a
big difference? 4. Can Willie Desjardins breathe some life back into Alex
Burrows? He has had back-to-back injury-plagued seasons, but last season the
bottom fell out: Just 5 goals, 15 points and a minus-9 in 49 games. There was
clearly friction between him and John Tortorella, but a change of head coach may
help Burrows as much as anyone on the team. But the question remains, is Burrows
a top line (or even top six) forward with this team any longer, and can he be a
25 goal scorer again - which he did for four straight seasons through 2011-12.
5. The Riddle In The Middle While few in the organization disputed the need to
lift the black cloud that was Ryan Kesler, there is big concern about who will
play behind Henrik Sedin as the Canucks second line center. Nick Bonino and
Linden Vey will vie for the spot. Bonino registered 22 goals and 49 points in
Anaheim last season, but much of that was on the power play playing next to Ryan
Getzlaf. He wont be playing with players of that calibre here, so can he produce
at the same level. Vey was a top prospect with the Kings playing behind the
deepest center ice corps in the league. Most experts believe he is ready to be a
full time NHLer and will be given every opportunity with the Canucks. There is
certainly more depth at center-ice depth than there was a year ago, but how high
end that depth is remains to be seen. DEPTH CHART Forwards Left Wing Centre

- Cullens Player to Watch - Alex Edler Last season was a rough one for Edler, as
he scored 22 points and had a league-worst minus-39 rating in 63 games, but that
wasnt all on him. His possession numbers were solid enough, but he had
ridiculously bad luck in terms of how others shot the puck when he was on the
ice. Theres also the matter of Edler remaining a prominent part of the Vancouver
power play. The only Canucks defenceman to finish with more power play points
last season was Jason Garrison, and hes in Tampa Bay now, so Edler will keep
playing a prominent role. Even if Edler plays at a level similar to last season,
he would be due for dramatically improved numbers based solely on his on-ice
shooting and on-ice save percentages falling more in line with his established
career norms. Should he play a little better, and get better percentages, then
Edler could have a big rebound year.
