LINCOLN, Neb. Cameron Brannagan Liverpool Jersey . -- Glynn Watson Jr.s head was hurting Sunday. But that didnt stop him from scoring a career-high 23 points to lead Nebraska past Sacramento State 83-61.Glynn actually tonight had a bad headache, said Nebraska coach Tim Miles. I dont know if it was a migraine or not. But we had to take him out two or three times and get him hydrated and make sure he got medicine. If he can do that in that condition ... hes really good. Glynn is a guy thats a game changer.Watson didnt mention the headache after the game. Rather, he attributed his scoring to aggressive play.I just tried to play aggressive and execute our game plan, Watson said. That was basically what I tried to do, was play aggressive and try to get my teammates open. I had open shots so I took them, that was basically it.Watson kept Nebraska (1-0) in the game in the first half, tying his career-high with 17 points on 7 of 10 shots. The rest of the Huskers were just 9 of 29 in the half, earning them a halftime butt chewing from Miles.Nebraska opened the second period with a 9-2 run, going up 45-35 on Tai Websters driving layup with 17:22 left. That opening spurt was the game changer, said Sacramento State coach Brian Katz.We had a pretty good first half and the separation happened in the first five points of the second half, Katz said. They got five points in transition and went from 36-33 to 41-33, and I thought that was the difference in the game. The Huskers hit 10 of 12 shots in the first eight minutes of the second half, taking a 58-44 lead on Websters jumper with 12:23 remaining.I thought the second half was really good, Miles said. But they were pretty good early too. Unfortunately, we missed 12 shots within what, four feet in the first half. I was happy with the team. They came out and did what they had to do to win.Nebraska never trailed, but saw Sacramento State (0-2) tie the game at 31 on Jeff Wus basket with 2:01 left in the first half. Watson responded with a 3-point play to put the Huskers in the lead for good.THE BIG PICTURENebraska: Five of the 10 Huskers who took the floor Sunday were seeing their first action as Huskers. All five came off the bench. They scored just five points combined.Sacramento State: The Hornets hit 48 percent of their shots in the first half to stay close to the Huskers. But Sacramento State struggled from the field in the final 20 minutes, hitting just 9 of 26 attempts and only 2 of 12 from 3-point range.QUOTABLEMiles on Nebraskas first half play: We were just rushing on offense, there was no poise. It was like one, two passes and force your way in there. The reason we missed 12 shots (near the basket) was because they werent very good shots. You cant get an offensive rebound, puke on yourself, then try to put it back in there. It just seemed like we were playing mindless basketball.UP NEXTNebraska hosts the University of Mary, Miless alma mater, Tuesday.Sacramento State will host Antelope Valley Thursday in its home opener.

But when it comes to determining if Raymond will find a place on the Leafs roster when training camp concludes in a week, well, that decision will ultimately fall to the head coach.

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. http:///...rpool-fc-jersey.aspx.J.

Asif on the comeback trailPlaying his second first-class match since being banned for match-fixing, Mohammad Asif took 4 for 33 as Water and Power Development Authority beat Peshawar by six wickets. He dismissed three of the top four batsmen and made sure his team - despite giving up a first-innings lead - came out on top. He seemed to retain the accuracy he was known for and there were those hooping inswingers as well, which dismantled the stumps of Jamaluddin in the first innings and Ashfaq Ahmed in the second.Peshawar had been put in to bat, and they made 273 before bowling WAPDA out for 180 with the help of left-arm seamer Taj Wali, who had become the first bowler in 20 years to take four wickets in four balls last year, and Sajid Khan, who picked up a five-wicket haul on debut.But Asif, and left-arm seamer Waqas Maqsood, took eight wickets between them to restrict WAPDAs target to 223 in the final innings. They were 62 for 4 after the third-days play but lost no wickets on the fourth as a brilliant counterattack from Kamran Akmal at No. 6 - 116 off 163 balls with 14 fours - gave them the game.Theres life in the graveyardDennis Lillee, the former Australia fast bowler, had said the Faisalabad pitch was a bowlers graveyard after playing in a match that saw 999 runs being scored for the loss of only 12 wickets. That was in 1980. Things seemed to have changed in 2016 with 18 wickets falling in a single day in the match between Lahore Blues and Habib Bank Limited.The spree began with Umar Gul taking 5 for 39 and bowling Lahore Blues out for 119 in their first innings and continued with seamer Shahid Nawaz picking up 4 for 30 to limit Habib Bank to 116 in their second innings. That left Lahore Blues with a target of 168 which was achieved with their captain Saad Nasim at the crease on an unbeaten 53 off 37.A thriller in KarachiTwenty-one wickets fell on the opening day of the match between Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited and Karachi Whites, played on another pitch that is traditionally helpful to the batsmen at United Bank Limited Sports Complex.SNGPL, the defending cchampions, were put in and bowled out for 128 in 41. Steven Gerrard Jersey. 5 overs. They still gained a first-innings lead though with seven of the Karachi batsmen falling for single-digits. Opener and captain Shahzaib Hasan top-scored with 61 off 33 balls, with 12 fours and a six. Seamer Azizullah picked up 5 for 42.For Karachi Whites, seamer Tabish Khan took 5 for 23, and ended up with eight wickets in the match, including Mohammad Hafeezs in both innings.Hafeez, though, emerged the winning captain with his team-mate Mohammad Rizwan striking 95 off 178 balls in the second innings to lift SNGPL from 42 for 4 to 235. That left Karachi Whites with 246 to chase in six sessions and they seemed to have the game well in hand at 125 for 4, but seamers Asad Ali and Bilawal Bhatti kept fighting.When the score slipped to 187 for 8, SNGPL seemed to have regained control. However, Mohammad Hasan and Tabish Khan resisted with a 33-run ninth-wicket partnership and Karachi Whites had dragged themselves to 220 for 8 - a mere 26 runs away from victory. That was when they lost both their remaining wickets and Asad, with 6 for 60 and Bhatti, with 3 for 68, were toasting a hard-earned victory.Shehzads mysterious absence Ahmed Shehzad has not been part of the Pakistan team since the World T20 in February due to disciplinary issues. But with Pakistan looking for Test openers, he was cleared to play for the national side provided he could show good form with the bat. He captained Habib Bank Limited in the third round of the Quaid-e-Azam (QEA) Trophy and scored 54. This was after he was picked in a PCB XI to face the touring West Indians on October 7.Shehzad, however, did not play this round of the QEA Trophy. It is learnt that the selectors are now considering one of Hafeez, Sharjeel Khan or Shan Masood to partner Sami Aslam at the top of the order for the tour of New Zealand.
