BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Phil Valenti and Kassius Robertson each scored 19 points and Canisius beat Albany 77-64 on Monday night.The Golden Griffins (6-5) have won three in a row, and five of six, since a loss to Tennessee State on Nov. 23.Both Valenti and Robertson did much of their damage from behind the arc, with Valenti hitting 5 of 6 while Robertson made 4 of 8. Isaiah Reese added 13 points for Canisius.David Nichols scored 21 for Albany (6-5).The Golden Griffins led by five at the half and pulled away in the second. A Robertson 3 gave Canisius a 49-37 lead with 13:29 left, and a Reese 3 extended it to 54-39 a few minutes later.Albany never seriously threatened from there, cutting its deficit below 10 only once.Canisius made 12 of 28 from 3-point range and had 20 assists on 26 field goals. Albany made 2 of 11 from beyond the arc. . Thats about all he can do right now, so hes trying not to think about when he might be able to play again for the Los Angeles Lakers. . "No difference at all," chirped U.S. roommate and linemate James van Riemsdyk. "Its still the same cranky Phil. . After the whistle, Thornton skated the length of the ice, pulled Orpik to the ice from behind and punched him in the face several times. . It was just business as usual for the Thunder at home. Durant scored 32 points and the Thunder beat the Bulls 107-95 on Thursday night for their eighth straight win. . Dukurs winning time was 1 minute, 45.76 seconds, a quarter-second better than Russias Alexander Tretiakov. Lativas Tomass Dukurs was third, 1.41 seconds off the pace. Jon Montgomery of Eckville, Alta. Adam Zampa or Jon Holland may soon fly to Sri Lanka to replenish Australias spin stocks after Steve OKeefe suffered an injury to his right hamstring on day three of the Pallekele Test match.In a bad sign for his prospects of being fit in time for the second Test in Galle next week, OKeefe was unable to complete his 17th over before leaving the field, and did not re-emerge for the remainder of the day as the hosts motored to a substantial lead.The young batsman Kusal Mendis prospered in OKeefes absence, and said the lack of a spinner turning the ball away from the bat was a big advantage. He proved he was the biggest threat to the right-handers, Mendis said. The injury to OKeefe is a setback to Australia for sure.OKeefes injury is not only tactically troubling but also a logistical problem for the Australians: MRI equipment required for scans is not available in Kandy, meaning he will have to travel to Colombo for full assessment of the injury. Even if OKeefe is a chance of recovering in time for what is likely to be a sharply turning wicket in Galle, the tour selectors Rod Marsh and Darren Lehmann may see fit to fly in one of Holland or Zampa.I feel sorry for Steve, hes one of my good mates and to see him injure himself Im not sure where hes at, but to see him go off the field and for Australia to lose a vital member of our bowling attack is a pretty big loss for us, Lyon said. Asked about whetherr he might need spin support in Galle, he said: Im confident in my own skill to get the job done, but I dont pick and choose the team.ddddddddddddOf the two spin bowlers, the legspinner Zampa has spent more recent time around the Australian limited-overs team, and is currently playing in the Caribbean Premier League. Holland, a left-arm orthodox bowler, has impressed in all his recent opportunities for Victoria, including a pivotal role in their Sheffield Shield final victory over South Australia. He is currently in Brisbane with Australia A.For Lyon, the days events took some gloss away from the achievement of claiming 200 test wickets, making him the first Australian offspiner to do so. He had struck early in the day with the wicket of Angelo Mathews, caught off bat and pad, but had to wait another several hours before the 200th victim arrived, Dhananjaya de Silva beaten in flight and pushing a catch to mid-off.Im very proud of it, but in saying that it probably hasnt really sunk in yet in the middle of a pretty hard Test match, Lyon said. Ill look back at it at the end of this Test match or the end of the series and look at the achievement. But I cant wipe the smile off my face, thats for sure, its been a pretty good ride so far, hopefully theres a few more to come. ' ' ' |
