LOUISVILLE, Ky. Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Baratas España . -- Louisville has regained its swagger and the fifth-ranked Cardinals want to keep it.The Cardinals (6-1, 4-1 ACC) visit Virginia (2-5, 1-2) on Saturday looking to build on their 54-13 rout of North Carolina State that moved Louisville up two spots in the Top 25. Coach Bobby Petrino was pleased with how thorough his team was on offense, defense and special teams -- all of which were motivated by talk about how physical the Wolfpack were.It was maybe our best performance of the year, the coach said Monday.While Louisvilles poll position improved, Petrino shrugged off the idea that lopsided victories might be necessary to grab the playoff committees attention with the first rankings due out next week. As long as the Cardinals keep winning, the coach believes the rest will fall into place.Cardinals quarterback Lamar Jackson meanwhile seems to be putting more things into his impressive repertoire.The Heisman Trophy front-runner has 34 touchdowns after rushing for a 36-yard score and passing for three others with precision that impressed Petrino and his teammates. Jacksons best TD pass might have been his 74-yarder to Jaylen Smith in stride down the middle, though a strong case has been made for his 16-yard scoring pass to Jamari Staples threaded through several defenders.I thought it was coming to me at first and I look over and Jamari caught it, said tight end Cole Hikutini, who later caught a 3-yard TD pass from Jackson. Its ridiculous how accurate he is and how much hes improved his accuracy and his confidence in the past year.Blanton Creque restored consistency to the Cardinals kicking game after setting a single-game school scoring record for a kicker with 18 points, including four field goals between 24 and 37 yards. Louisvilles defense had one of its best efforts this season in holding N.C. State to just 250 yards and making three interceptions leading to 17 points. The Wolfpack trailed 44-0 before scoring two third-quarter TDs that seemed to fire up the Cardinals defense even more.We come with a mindset and objective to get goose eggs, said linebacker Jonathan Greenard, who grabbed his first career pickoff in the win. Toward the end of the game we got sort of complacent, so after they scored those two touchdowns we just had to put the foot on the gas and end it.Louisville now prepares for Virginia with hopes of starting quick again and pouring it on, which would be an change from its previous visit to Charlottesville two years ago.Petrino was just in his third game of his second stint as Cardinals coach then and trying to sort out a muddled quarterback situation. Will Gardner and Reggie Bonnafon both had uneven performances in a 23-21 loss that seems so long ago for many reasons.Louisville returns more formidable this time with a Heisman-contending QB and playoff aspirations. The Cardinals are favored by 28 points but promise not to look past the Cavaliers, who have lost two in a row under first-year coach Bronco Mendenhall.Weve just got to come back, work hard and challenge their maturity, Petrino said. I think our guys are hungry; we just need to stay hungry.---Online:The APs college football page: http://collegfootball.ap.org Adidas Superstar Rosa Palo .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch.

Green had bounced around the NBA when he wasnt playing overseas. The Pacers gave up on Plumlee after just one season. Now Green and Plumlee are key cogs in the Suns surprising breakout season.(Sports Network) - LeBron James has played the role of hero. He has played the role of goat. Thats just during the Eastern Conference Finals. The Indiana Pacers knotted the Eastern Conference Finals and now the series with the defending champion Miami Heat shifts to Indianapolis for Game 3 Sunday night. After having their collective heart ripped out in Game 1 on Wednesday night in Miami, the Pacers stood tall, kept Roy Hibbert in the lineup, and prevailed, 97-93. "Its a nice win. Its good to split. And we havent done anything yet," said Hibbert. "We havent closed the series out. We won one game. A lot of us feel we should be up 2-0 obviously with the last play of Game 1." The last play of Game 1 was James easy layup with 2.2 seconds on the clock. Hibbert was sitting on a metal chair as it took place, despite being an elite rim protector in the NBA. Hibbert was sensational on Friday night with 29 points and 10 rebounds, but Game 2 was once again about the reigning MVP. On this night, he did not deliver. James turned it over twice with chances to win the game for the Heat. "I made two mistakes tonight. That hurt our team and that hurt more than anything - let my teammates down," said James. "They expect me to make plays down the stretch, and I had the ball with the opportunity to make a couple of plays and I came up short. That burns." The Pacers led by two with 43 seconds left when James pass to Ray Allen was intercepted by David West. Indiana turned over the ensuing possession thanks to a shot-clock violation and James committed another turnover. His pass was batted away by West and George Hill buried two free throws to seall the victory. Comprar Adidas Nmd Baratas. "Very disappointing, of course, for me," said James. "Thats the first thing I always look at on the stat sheet is my turnovers. I had two key ones at a big point of the game. I am very disappointed in my judgment and my plays down the stretch. But Ill make up for them." Aside from those two late hiccups (actually five all together), James was his usual brilliant self. He had 36 points on 14-for-20 shooting and grabbed eight boards. Chris Bosh (17) and Dwyane Wade (16) were the only other Heat players in double figures on Friday. Both shot 6-for-14 from the floor. For the Pacers, Hibbert was wonderful, but it was a balanced effort in the scoring column. All five starters scored in double digits led by Hibbert and Paul George. The third-team All-NBA forward, who overplayed James in Game 1 and allowed him to streak to the basket, netted 22 points. Hill added 18 followed by Wests 13 and 10 from Lance Stephenson. Indianas starters accounted for 92 of its 97 points. "Its balanced and its difficult to guard, and when everybody is clicking the way they were tonight, and I thought everybody had chances to step up and did step up for our team, we looked like a true team," said Pacers coach Frank Vogel. "Its fun to be a part of." The Pacers won both of their regular-season matchups at home against the Heat. They are also a perfect 6-0 in Bankers Life Fieldhouse during this postseason. Indiana had a 2-1 series lead in last seasons Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Heat, but dropped three straight. Miami of course ascended to the top of the sport.
