Columbus, OH (SportsNetwork. Mike Daniels Packers Jersey .com) - Thad Matta stalks the sidelines in his 500th career game as he leads the 12th-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes versus Morehead State on Saturday afternoon at Value City Arena. Matta, who is in his 11th season at OSU after spending one with Butler and three at Xavier, is also seeking to become the all-time wins leader at Ohio State, needing 16 victories to pull ahead of Fred Taylor (297 wins). The coach has his 2014-15 squad showing a 7-1 record, with the lone loss coming against nationally-ranked Louisville (64-55) last week during the ACC/Big Ten Challenge at KFC Yum! Center. Since that setback, the Buckeyes have worked their way back into the win column twice, first with a 70-50 romp over Colgate last weekend and then a 97-43 thrashing of High Point three nights ago. Ohio State will have one more home game in this current four-game run four days from now versus North Carolina A&T, before being challenged by the North Carolina Tar Heels in the CBS Sports Classic at the United Center in Chicago. While OSU is cruising along as one of the top programs in the Big Ten, the Eagles are already three games under .500 through 11 contests. Since taking out Kentucky Christian (121-49) near the end of last month, Morehead State has lost three in a row. Last weekend, the Eagles had a chance to put an end to the slide against Oakland, but bowed in overtime, 70-68, at home. As far as the all-time series is concerned, OSU has won all three previous encounters, all of which have been played at Value City Arena. The most recent meeting was four years ago as the Buckeyes delivered a 64-45 win. Trailing by as many as 18 late in the first half against Oakland, the Eagles fought all the way back to force overtime but then ran out of steam as they converted only a pair of field goals in the bonus session. Leading the charge for the Eagles was Lyonell Gaines who delivered a double-double consisting of 18 points and 10 rebounds, while fellow starter Angelo Warner filled his stat line with 15 points, five rebounds, five steals and four assists, but he was also charged with six turnovers. Also giving the Eagles a fighting chance were Kareem Storey with 12 points, Billy Reader 11 and seven boards, before fouling out, and reserve Corban Collins with 10 points, the only backup to score for the home team as they shot only 7-of-24 behind the 3-point line. Warner, a 50 percent shooter from the floor who is also 42.3 percent accurate out on the perimeter, is the lone double-digit scorer for MSU through 11 games as he puts up 16.1 ppg. As someone who is willing to do whatever it takes to get the Eagles into the win column, Warner is also averaging 4.4 rpg and has 29 assists, as well as 24 steals in his 10 appearances. The team is posting 69.0 ppg and limiting foes to just 62.6 ppg, but in both of those instances the team has had the stats buoyed by the blowout of Kentucky Christian. Leading the charge for the Buckeyes in their crushing defeat of High Point, Kam Williams tallied a career-high 23 points, scoring 13 straight in the first half during one stretch. Also scoring in double figures for Ohio State were DAngelo Russell (18 points), JaeSean Tate (12), Shannon Scott (11) and Sam Thompson (10), marking the fourth time this season that the Buckeyes have had at least five player post 10 points or more. As a unit, Ohio State shot an impressive 62.5 percent from the floor, including 8-of-13 (.615) behind the 3- point line. Despite the scoring burst in the latest outing, Williams is netting just 9.4 ppg overall on the campaign. He trails Russell (18.0 ppg), Marc Loving (11.5 ppg) and Thompson (9.9 ppg) as a balanced scoring attack has led the Buckeyes to an impressive 82.2 ppg. The squad is converting field goals at a 53.0 percent clip, the 3-pointers coming in at 42.4 percent. At the defensive end, opponents are generating only 55.4 ppg versus the Buckeyes.

Cheap Kenny Clark Jersey, Womens Elite Kenny Clark Packers Jerseys . -- Adam Tambellini scored three times and set up one more as the Calgary Hitmen won their sixth in a row by crushing the host Lethbridge Hurricanes 8-1 on Saturday in Western Hockey League play.DETROIT -- On a day of dandy Detroit debuts, Alex Gonzalez helped Brad Ausmus start his tenure as Tigers manager with a win. Gonzalez lined an RBI single off Greg Holland in the bottom of the ninth, giving the Tigers a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Monday in Ausmus first game since replacing Jim Leyland. Victor Martinez homered for Detroit, and Justin Verlander was sharp aside from a three-run fourth inning that wasnt all his fault. "Theres two things that could have spoiled opening day for me," Ausmus said. "One, if we lost. And two, if the sun wasnt out. Because for me opening day, the sun is out, fans are having fun, theyre eating their popcorn, drinking their beer. The energy is higher." Kansas City lost its sixth straight opener. Ausmus was upstaged a bit by another newcomer on a bright, pleasant day in downtown Detroit. Gonzalez was acquired by the Tigers in late March following an injury to shortstop Jose Iglesias. Detroit is just hoping he can fill in competently, and Gonzalez did not impress at first. His error in the fourth helped the Royals score an extra run, but he made up for that with a tying triple in the seventh. Gonzalez then singled with men on first and third in the ninth. "Ive played on a lot of opening days -- I dont even remember all of them -- but this one was special," Gonzalez said. "I was looking for a pitch that I could elevate, and I got one. I rounded first and all I saw was the whole team coming at me." Joe Nathan -- another new face on Detroits roster -- pitched a scoreless ninth. Nathan (1-0) signed with the Tigers to become their closer, but hell have to wait a bit longer for a save opportunity. Holland didnt have a save chance either after converting 47 of 50 last year. Instead, the right-hander came into a difficult situation in the ninth and couldnt get out of it. Wade Davis (0-1) yielded a one-out walk to Alex Avila and a single to Nick Castellanos before Holland allowed the single to Gonzalez. "I get paid to get people out, and I didnt do it today," Holland said. "Were not here to fight and compete. Were here to win." Detroits Tyler Collins made his major league debut as a pinch runner for Avila -- and ended up scoring the winning run. Salvador Perez had four hits for Kansas City. Nick Perry Packers Jersey. Although there were still a few patches of snow in the Detroit area Monday morning, the game was played under a sunny sky with temperatures in the 50s. With its recently re-sodded field, Comerica Park looked sharp. But the Tigers, coming off three straight AL Central titles, were sloppy at first. Right fielder Torii Hunter dropped a routine flyball in the second, and although Verlander pitched out of that jam, he couldnt escape the fourth. Salvador Perez tied it at 1 with a one-out RBI double off Verlander, and Lorenzo Cain slapped an RBI single through the hole into left field to put Kansas City ahead. After a two-out walk, Gonzalez bobbled Norichika Aokis slow grounder for an error that loaded the bases. Verlander then walked Omar Infante, forcing in Kansas Citys third run of the inning. Verlander had surgery in January after injuring his groin, but he pitched 20 scoreless innings during spring training. He allowed three runs -- two earned -- and six hits in six innings Monday, walking three and striking out two. That was enough for a no-decision. Verlander was making his seventh straight start on opening day, and hes only 1-1 in those games. "I never seem to find a win on opening day, but the bullpen shut them down and we got one anyway. Thats all that matters," Verlander said. "Every opening day is special, but this one meant a little more, because I had to really work and grind to get here for this one after the surgery." With Kansas City ahead 3-1 in the seventh, Austin Jackson hit a one-out triple and Avila drew a walk. Aaron Crow replaced starter James Shields and struck out Castellanos, but the third strike was a wild pitch that allowed Jackson to score. Gonzalez followed with a triple to the gap in left-centre. Shields gave up three runs and five hits in 6 1-3 innings. NOTES: Infante received a hand from the Detroit crowd when he was introduced with the Kansas City players before the game. He left the Tigers and signed with the Royals in the off-season. ... The crowd of 45,068 was the second-largest in Comerica history. ... It was the fourth four-hit game of Perezs career. ... The Royals were 67-6 last year when leading by 2 or more runs at any point from the seventh inning on, according to STATS. NFL Jerseys China cheap jerseys ' ' '
