If I had to use one word to describe the Killer Instinct tournament, it would be unpredictable. Marcus Cannon Jersey . Although the character selection was rather standard, the results were wild and the play was unorthodox.First up is the list of upsets that occurred before the top eight of the tournament began.The elimination of popular pick Deon Thompxson Thompson by Jonathan RicoSuave Deleon was a shock. RicoSuave, who took ninth place, might have been last years Evo champion, but he was far from a sure thing in this years Killer Instinct competition. In addition to both RicoSuave and Thompxsons early departures, Neilimen GutterMagicAlicea, one of the better bets for a Evo title, also finished in a disappointing ninth place.Despite having so many big names eliminated from the tournament before the finals even began, the top eight was still amazingly stacked. It boasted upstarts like Blue Hurricane Gamings Jamill SeaDragon Boykin and Josue Grief Herrera, a surprise contender in Paul PaulB Ramos, as well as a relatively unknown player in Jacob RL|Runex Runsewe. Among them were three monster threats (two of them previewed in our Evo primer): Circa eSports Nicolas Nicky Iovene, Flipsid3 Tactics Darnell Hollywood Sleep Waller and Ultra Arcades Kenneth Bass Armas. The competition is healthy in Killer Instinct, and Evo proved that its truly anyones game.From the actual top-eight diversity to the way each and every match went down, there were no easy wins, even for favorites. PaulBs match against KI notable Bass proved every bit of this point. If not for the massive comeback from deaths grip, Bass would have been on the shorter end of the stick. Instead, Bass identified PaulBs weaknesses for throws and used it to alternate his mix-up or grab his opponent. Even the biggest name in the bracket, Hollywood Sleep, struggled against his first opponent, Nicky. No one was safe, regardless of reputation.Your Killer Instinct champion: Hollywood SleepThe man many thought would be the Killer Instinct champion lived up to the hype and left zero doubt in the minds of the audience. He was the easy favorite when the top eight started, a favorite when the tournament began and the dominating force throughout the Saturday finals.Hollywood Sleep succeeded through superior play and character selection. When he began, it was all Arbiter, but that soon changed when he was faced up against Spinal in the winners and grand finals. There, Hollywood Sleep swapped to Gargos and crushed the hopes of naysayers.Bass gave it a great shot for a potential reset when he seemingly had Hollywood Sleep on the ropes with a victory and then a huge life bar lead, but it was not meant to be. Hollywood Sleep stepped up his aggression and clutched out every key moment and round thereafter. Hes your deserving Evo champion and the best Killer Instinct player to work the pad. Patrick Chung Jersey . On Mar. 16, coming off a "fight of the year" performance at UFC 154 the previous November, St-Pierre faced Nick Diaz at UFC 158 in what would be his eighth defence of the welterweight title. Using his superior athleticism, St-Pierre cruised to a five round, unanimous decision victory setting up a much-anticipated title defence against number one contender Johny Hendricks. Isaiah Wynn Jersey . They were putting most of their energy into a record-setting offensive display. http:///...-Allen-Draft-Jersey/ . -- James Young couldnt wait to apply those tweaks to his jump shot, and the first one he made against UT Arlington told him it could be a good night. INDIANAPOLIS -- The Butler University basketball team is coming off huge wins over No. 16 Arizona in the Las Vegas Invitational championship Nov. 25 and then at Utah on Monday.So Butler coach Chris Holtmann is hoping for no letdown when his No. 18 Bulldogs (7-0) are home to face Central Arkansas (1-6) at 4 p.m. (EDT) at Hinkle Fieldhouse.Central Arkansas is a team that has been able to score really well. Theyve been good offensively, Holtmann said. Right now you want to have a good understanding of the opponent. You also want to really focus on your teams improvement and your teams growth. Thats our dual focus as we continue to play non-league games.The Bears are averaging 70.7 points per game on 42.0 percent shooting. In addition to their scoring, Holtmann said the Bears play a matchup zone that Butler needs to be prepared to face.Another focus is Holtmann doesnt want his team looking ahead to some key upcoming dates at in-state rival Indiana State (Wednesday), hosting Cincinnati (Dec. 10) and playing No. 13 Indiana University (Dec. 17) in the Crossroads Classic in Indianapolis.The challenge is we did not play well last year when we came back after being gone for a week to Puerto Rico, Holtmann said. Our guys are aware of that and I think you try to stress to your guys that this is about playing to the standard and expectation that we have on every possession. Thats what were trying to do, regardless of the opponent. Thats our focus. Quality teams may not have their A game every night. There is competitiveness, awareness and an attention to detail every night and thats what it needs to be. LaAdrian Waddle Jersey. .Butler is off to its best start since beginning the 2008-09 season 8-0. The Bulldogs are led by junior forward Kelan Martin, who is averaging a team-high 16.4 points.Butler is hitting 50.4 percent of its shots while holding opponents to 40.6 percent.Six of our 11 guys havent played in a Butler uniform before, so thats over half the team, so we knew we would have difficult moments this year going through some growing pains, Holtmann said. What Ive been pleased with most is weve been able to weather those difficult moments and able to respond to some game adversity and come back with the right approach. Thats allowed us to win some close games.Despite losing six of seven, all on the road, Central Arkansas lost by just two points (49-47) at No. 17 Wisconsin Nov. 11 and 12 (102-90) at Oklahoma State Nov. 14.Junior guard Jordan Howard leads the Bears with a 16.3 scoring average, just a tick ahead of senior guard Derreck Brooks 16.2 average.Thursday, Central Arkansas started strong, taking a 37-30 lead at half-time at Southeast Missouri. The Bears then were outscored 36-1 to open the second half and lost 87-63.Like we tell the guys all the time, you just have to learn how to win, Bears coach Russ Pennell said. Its not about talent, its not basketball plays. Its the other stuff. Its the loose ball. Its standing in the right place, all the positioning stuff, rebounding.In the teams 81-76 victory over Army, Pennell said his team did those things.
