Milwaukee, WI (SportsNetwork.com) - Andrew Chrabascz had 30 points and eight rebounds to lead No. 25 Butler to a 72-68 overtime victory over Marquette on Saturday. Kellen Dunham posted 17 points, Alex Barlow scored 15 with four rebounds and seven assists, and Kameron Woods had 18 rebounds for the Bulldogs (16-6, 6-3 Big East), who have won three straight. Matt Carlino and Duane Wilson each scored 18 points, Luke Fischer added 12 points and six rebounds and Juan Anderson had 12 and seven for the Golden Eagles (10-11, 2-7), who have lost their past five. Wilson opened overtime with a layup, but Chrabascz and Dunham followed with buckets, and Chrabascz hit a pair of free throws with two minutes to play for a 64-60 lead. Marquette cut the deficit to one before Dunham made a pair of free throws for a 70-67 lead with seven seconds left. Butler then immediately fouled Carlino, and after he made one, Dunham followed with two more from the line to seal the victory. The Bulldogs opened the game with the first seven points and continued to lead for much of the first half, but Marquette was able to keep the game close and trailed, 29-26, heading into the break. Opening the second half with a 10-3 run, the Golden Eagles took a 36-32 lead on an Anderson 3-ball 3 1/2 minutes in. An 8-0 run by Marquette gave the team the largest lead of the game at 55-45 with just 4 1/2 minutes to play, but Butler scored the next five points, and a Barlow 3-pointer and Dunham jumper sent the game into overtime tied at 58-58. Game Notes Butler hosts St. Johns on Tuesday ... Marquette plays at Villanova on Wednesday ... The Golden Eagles still hold the edge in the series, 16-14 ... Butler dominated on the boards, 47-33. Ken Boyer Jersey . The Raptors went 1-3 during a season-long homestand last week and their upcoming schedule doesnt do them any favours. Although theyve had some early season success against the superior Western Conference - theyre 2-3 - eight of their next 11 games are against winning teams from the West. Billy Williams Jersey . Both Lawrie and his manager agree it isnt preferable. What it is: a consequence of a game played without the designated hitter. "Im a third baseman," said Lawrie. http://www.throwbackonlineshop.com/boston-red-sox-jim-rice-throwback-jersey/ . -- Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Justin Blackmon has been suspended indefinitely without pay for another violation of the NFLs substance-abuse policy. Dave Parker Jersey . Still, the Russian ski jumper hasnt ruled himself out of the Olympics just yet. Alexander Uvarov, president of the national ski jumping federation, said he visited Maksimochkin in hospital on Thursday morning to discuss options for rehabilitation. Brett Lawrie Jersey . Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped a two-game skid. LETHBRIDGE, Alta. -- Heather Nedohin likes to let the horses run, while her third Beth Iskiw wants to pull on the reins. Its a relationship that seems to work for Canadas back end at the Ford World Womens Curling Championship. Nedohins rink remained unbeaten with an 8-7 win over the Czech Republic on Monday. "The difference between Beth and I is that Im aggressive and shes conservative, so we do have to meet in the middle and come to an agreement," Nedohin said. "We bicker like old Bettys. I call her my Betty and Im Dorothy to her. We laugh like were two old women trying to beat each other in a game of chess. I know its different than what other back enders do. Other thirds may play more the role of puppet, say yes and agree. "I like that she has the confidence to give me a different point of view, yet at the same time trust that Ill make the final decision and then were all-in to make that shot." There was little debate between Nedohin and Iskiw on what Canadas approach had to be Monday afternoon when Czech skip Linda Klimova scored five points in the second end to lead 5-0. The Canadians had no choice but to take risks to get back in the game. They went to work scoring eight points, six of them stolen, over the next six ends. At 4-0, Nedohins Edmonton foursome was the only unbeaten team left in the field with a game at night versus Denmark. "I look at the way weve started the last few games and weve been slow out of the gate," Nedohin observed, pointing to second ends in particular. "I think we had to get mean out there. I say mean, but its not mad at each other. "Its always tough to defend a lead. We put up junk to go at it. We pushed on her to make big shots. Those are tough to make sometimes." South Koreas Sun-Ji Kim and Swedens Margaretha Sigfriddson were tied for second at 4-1. Kim is the early surprise at this world championship. Her team went 2-9 in last years world championship. With Pyeongchang winning the bid for the 2018 Winter Olympics, expect South Korea to make strides in all winter sports, including curling. Switzerlands Mirjam Ott, Germanys Melanie Robillard, Scotlands Eve Muirhead and Denmarks Lene Nielson were all 2-2. Italys Diana Gaspari and the Czechs were 2-3. Chinas Bingyu Wang and Russias Anna Sidorova were both 1-3. Even though the U.S. had the highest shooting percentage of all teams after seven draws at 86, Allison Pottinger was still looking for her first winn after four losses.dddddddddddd The top four teams at the conclusion of the round robin Thursday advance to playoffs. Curling fans re-discovered at this years national womens championship how entertaining Nedohin, 36, can be with her dramatic body language and facial expressions. As it often happens, Nedohins voice was rasping Monday on just the third day of competition. The occasional butting of heads between Nedohin and Iskiw over strategy also drew attention at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. "In the past, weve had some pretty good arguments out there about different strategy calls and we definitely laugh about it afterwards," Iskiw said. "We room together too and sometimes weve come back to the room too and said, This is what I was thinking, and were across the hotel room saying What are we going to do next time? "I used to believe it wasnt good for a skip and a third to room together, but for us it works because we get that out a little bit if we need to discuss things." Iskiw, 32, knows Nedohin has the final say. She chooses her time to make a stand carefully. "Everybody is talking about how shes emotional and I can feel that as well, when I cant press the limits with her," Iskiw said. "You can tell by her body language and the way shes talking, I will step back. "She knows unless I really believe something, Im not going to be that strong. Unless I absolutely disagree with something, I wont be that strong. If Im disagreeing, Im really believing a certain way." The Czech Republic is relatively new to international womens curling. The country, which has 2,500 curlers out of four facilities, made its world championship debut in 2007. Klimova, 23, is skipping her country for the first time at a world championship. After taking the big lead early, Klimova was unable to defend it. "We were quite excited about the five ender and then they played really well," the Czech skip said. "We were quite afraid I think." Klimova felt she spent too much time chasing Canadian stones around centre guards, instead of setting up corner guards and making Nedohin follow her. The turning point was a steal of three by Canada in the fourth end to tie the game 5-5. With five Canadian rocks and a couple of Czech stones clustered around the four-foot-rings, Klimovas final draw was slightly heavy. A measurement on third stones confirmed the steal of a third point Canada. wholesale jerseys cheap nfl jerseys china Cheap NFL Jerseys cheap authentic jerseys cheap nfl jerseys china ' ' '
