ANN ARBOR, Mich.
Cheap Sharks Jerseys . -- Virginia Tech coach
Buzz Williams had plenty of reasons to be disappointed while his team fell
behind by 15 points at Michigan.There was also a lot time left.I didnt think we
were playing hard, I didnt think we were playing tough. I understand the
environment, I understand weve been gone nine days, I get all of that, Williams
said. I thought over the last 30 minutes, there was more of a distinct brand of
what we want to be about.Zach LeDay scored 15 of his 18 points in the second
half, and the Hokies rallied to beat Michigan 73-70 on Wednesday night. Virginia
Tech trailed 23-8 in the first half and 62-52 with 7:23 left in the
second.Playing their fourth straight game away from home, the Hokies (6-1) were
down 67-63 before a 3-pointer by Justin Bibbs started an 8-0 run. Seth Allen
gave Virginia Tech the lead with a driving layup , then added a 3-pointer.Duncan
Robinsons 3-pointer with 42 seconds left pulled Michigan (5-2) to within a
point, and an offensive foul on Allen gave the Wolverines the ball back. But
Michigan was out of timeouts, and Zak Irvin ended up trying a tough jumper from
just inside the arc that missed.We were trying to isolate him, and they took him
away a little bit, Wolverines coach John Beilein said. We know what to do when
they take him away, and we didnt do it.After Bibbs made two free throws with 3.9
seconds left, Robinson had a chance to tie it, but his 3-pointer from the left
wing missed.Michigan was in total control at the start, jumping out to a 17-4
lead and eventually going up by 15 on a 3-pointer by Derrick Walton. Virginia
Tech was down 39-30 at halftime but opened the second half with a 9-2 run.I just
came out in the second half and I wanted to be aggressive, LeDay said. In the
first half, I was trying to feel it out, and Coach told me not to be like that,
he told me to just be aggressive, go full throttle, and thats what I did.Irvin
led Michigan with 23 points.BIG PICTUREVirginia Tech: The Hokies did their part
in the ACC-Big Ten challenge, coming away with an upset win on the road.
Virginia Tech had little trouble scoring after its slow start. Four players
ended up in double figures.Michigan: The Wolverines have looked better on
defense this season, but the second half of this game was a bit of a wake-up
call. Virginia Tech shot 52 percent from the field on the night.FREE
THROWSVirginia Tech took advantage of its foul shots, going 19 of 21 from the
line. Michigan was only 4 of 7 and didnt attempt any until the second half.
Forward D.J. Wilson fouled out for the Wolverines with 3:03 remaining.They
played small ball, Irvin said. They were really just isolating our five. Figured
if D.J. could go in there, hes versatile, he can play multiple positions, and
once he fouled out, it was tough from there on.HANGING IN THEREThere was only
one lead change in the game -- after Allens basket put the Hokies up 68-67 with
1:46 to play.Thank goodness in the time Ive been coaching you havent seen too
many games like that, Beilein said. Where we lead the whole game and we cant
make enough stops or finishes at the end offensively to win the game.UP
NEXTVirginia Tech: The Hokies dont play again until next Wednesday night, when
they host Maryland-Eastern Shore.Michigan: The Wolverines host Kennesaw State on
Saturday, taking a break from major-conference competition during a four-game
stretch that includes matchups with Virginia Tech, Texas and UCLA.---More AP

. The winner Saturday will remain in the elite 10-team field next year. "We
talked about wanting to be disciplined and stick with our game plan and good
things will come," Draisaitl said, who had two goals for the victors. Stuart
Broad has not given up hope of playing in the third Test in Mohali despite
suffering an injury to the tendons in his right foot in Visakhapatnam. The
England seamer revealed that he will wear a protective moon boot to try and aid
his recovery, with four days between the second and third Tests.Broad sustained
the injury diving in the field in the opening moments of the match but still
produced an impressive performance. He claimed four wickets in Indias second
innings and then called upon England to do something special on the last day to
try and salvage the second Test.Its been a pretty sore Test, Broad said of his
injury. I dived for the ball and my toe slipped the wrong way and Ive done some
damage to my tendon, which has been a bit awkward. If you do that in the second
over of a Test, youve only got one option and thats to keep playing or you stuff
the team a little bit.There are plans is to get a moon boot on at the end of
this game for a few days to try to offload the tendon. Weve about 17 days before
the fourth Test in Mumbai, which is quite a long time. But its less for the
third Test in Mohali.Its annoying to miss any Test and I dont know that I will
miss it yet. But hopefully Ill definitely be fit for Mumbai.England could go to
Mohali 1-0 down after being challenged to survive for a minimum of 150 overs if
they were to save the match - which, on a deteriorating wicket, seemed an
improbable scenario. But, having reached stumps on day four for the loss of only
two wickets, Broad said the whole side had taken encouragement from the
performance of their opening batsmen and still felt the draw was
achievable.Everyone believes it can be done, Broad said. When you watch the way
we batted this evening: 60 overs for two wickets; weve only got another 90 to
go. It shows you can bat on that pitch if you apply yourself.If two or three
batsmen get stuck in like the openers did today, we will save the Test. Thats
quite exciting. Youve a chance of doing something - I wont say heroic, but doing
something quite special. A bit different. It might not be 100 off 150 balls, but
it might be 20 of 150 balls that helps your team get in a great position.Weve
got the characters, the players and the depth of batting to do it. The key is
breaking it down into small partnerships: whether its 15 minutes, whether its 15
balls, or five runs, these sort of things slow the game down for you so it
doesnt feel as if youre climbing up a mountain.Englands hopes took a substantial
blow when Alastair Cook was trapped leg before to the last delivery of the day.
But his partnership with Haseeb Hameed had defied India for 50 overs and,
according to Broad, shown the rest of the team what was expected of them on the
final day.Its always disappointing when you lose a wicket in the final over,
Broad said. Especially someone as dogged and strong as Cook. But we batted 60
overs for two wickets. That gives us a lot of encouragement. Weve still got
wickets and a lot of batting to come in the changing room.The way Cook goes
about it... the calmness he shows. Thhe courage he shows.
Cheap Sharks
Jerseys China. Hes set a precedent, if thats the word. You have to
follow his lead.Broad was equally effusive in praise of Hameed, who endured a
testing spell of short-pitched bowling and was finally dismissed by an
unplayable delivery that scuttled along the pitch.He played a tough innings,
Broad said. It reminded me of the Mike Atherton knock at Trent Bridge in 1998
when Allan Donald was charging in at him. Haseeb was hit first ball, which
damaged his hand, but he didnt show anything and calmly went about his business.
He showed a huge amount of courage and didnt let a bit of indifferent bounce
change his movements.He looks made for Test cricket. As a bowler in his team, he
is an enjoyable man to see walk out to bat because you know he has a calm head
on his shoulders. He just wants to bat for his team. Today runs werent on his
agenda. He wanted to bat time to give England a chance to save this Test. It
took a beauty of a ball to get rid of him. Not many batsmen are going to hit
that, are they?Despite Englands unpromising match position, Broad felt the side
could take huge credit from their fightback. After a poor session towards the
end of day two, he suggested England had shown character.We had a bad
hour-and-a-half at the end of day two, Broad said. But since then weve shown a
lot of character. To still be in this Test going into day five from the position
we were in at the end of day two is a huge credit to us.Even today, turning up
to the ground 300 behind, it is very easy to throw the towel in. But we put a
lot of pressure on India. We took early wickets. We didnt let India control the
scoring rate and didnt let them declare. And that led us into a pretty solid
batting display giving us a hope tomorrow.A lot of Tests have been saved with
teams going into the last day two wickets down. And thats got to be out aim. In
Auckland in 2013 we went into the last day with four wickets down and saved the
game.Were very happy with today. Weve given ourselves a great chance and if we
can keep things quiet for the first 90 minutes, the pressure will only grow on
the Indian bowlers.Despite Broads injury, he delivered an impressive eight-over
spell on the fourth day and claimed his best figures in a Test in India.It felt
like a decent time to bowl, he said. There was a little bit of indifferent
bounce and reverse swing. It was nice to play on a pitch that was worn and there
was a bit of variable bounce so I was able to use the legcutter a bit more which
makes the reversing ball a bit more dangerous.The batsman is looking for the
cutter and then you can wrap them on the pad with a quicker inswinger. Zaheer
Khan was very good at bowling off-pace and would then surprise you with a really
quick inswinger. Jimmy Anderson and I talked about trying to get batsmen into a
routine of facing a slower pace and then hitting them with a quicker ball coming
into the stumps. He dismissed Pujara that way.
