ST. Jeremy Vujnovich Jersey . LOUIS -- The 35-0 record stands out in bold face. Putting the historic implications aside, Wichita States latest victims are believers they got schooled by a team most deserving of a top seed and capable of beating anybody, anytime. "Oh every bit of it, every bit of it," Cal Poly coach Joe Callero said after his team was never in contention in a 64-37 loss in the Midwest Region on Friday night. "The thing about Wichita State which we want to emulate most is they rarely, rarely take any plays off. They have very, very good players but they are dialed in, and I think thats what separates them." Cleananthony Early had 23 points for the Shockers (35-0), who dominated from the tip-off against a first-time NCAA entrant, and the only team with a sub-.500 record in the tournament. "We were very, very focused," coach Gregg Marshall said. "It had been a long time since wed played and this team had our attention." With the exception of Early, most of the glaring numbers were on defence. The losers managed 13 points in the first half and shot 21 per cent. Wichita State players were well aware that Mercer upset Duke earlier in the day. They were determined to take nothing for granted. "Seeing all these close games, its important for us to come out and show the world," forward Chadrack Lufile said. "Come out and play hard, and play angry." "I thought we were pretty crisp for the most part," point guard Fred VanVleet said. Malik Love had nine points for Cal Poly (14-20), which won the Big West tournament as the No. 7 seed and beat Texas Southern in First Four game before being held to a season low for points. Chris Eversley, the Big West tourney MVP and coming off a 19-point game, was held to six points on 2-for-14 shooting. "I think youve got to be a well-rested, well-prepared team to have a chance against them," Calero said, referring to the Mustangs playing on short rest. "But at the end of the day you can see why theyre undefeated. "So, hats off to them." As it turned out, the high point for the losers came before tip-off when Cardinals Hall of Fame shortstop Ozzie Smith, a Cal Poly graduate, paid a visit. Guard Kyle Odister cherished an autograph and photograph. "Definitely it was great to meet a legend," guard Kyle Odister said. "He said wed already won before the game started. "It would have been nice to get a win, though." VanVleet had eight assists, Ron Baker had seven points and nine rebounds and Kadeem Coleby had four of the teams six blocks in the Shockers 10th consecutive double-digit victory and fourth straight in St. Louis where they won their first Missouri Valley Conference tournament title since 1987 by beating three opponents by an average of 20 points. There was no suspense as second-ranked Wichita State surpassed the previous best start in 1991 by UNLV. The Runnin Rebels went 34-0 before losing to Duke in the national semifinals. The Shockers made the Final Four as a No. 9 seed last year. Sterner tests loom for Wichita State, with either preseason No. 1 Kentucky or Kansas State the next opponent on Sunday. Thus, much like before in the Missouri Valley tournament when Marshall told the team they were back to 0-0, he said the Shockers were 1-0. "Its been a great season thus far, 35-0 is awesome," Marshall said. "Our goal is to get out of the weekend." Cal Poly was 4-for-28 in the first half got outscored by Early, who had 19 points to help Wichita State take a commanding 32-13 lead. Eversleys 3-pointer opened the scoring with 18:46 to go not long after Coleby just missed converting an alley-oop dunk on the other end. The Mustangs missed 14 straight shots under suffocating pressure, often settling for out-of-range 3s, and mustered just two free throws before Kyle Odisters 3-pointer ended a drought that lasted more than 11 minutes and made it 21-8. More on-target shooting and Wichita State could have really opened it up. As it was, the Shockers had a 15-0 run before Odisters 3, then ran off nine more in a row, before Cal Poly reached double figures with less than three minutes to go. Erik Swoope Jersey . The post-season, Pierce said repeatedly, is no time to panic. And the Heat, apparently, are nothing to fear. Margus Hunt Jersey .B. -- Canadas Rachel Homan had ideal preparation for the playoffs at the Ford World Curling Championships with a pair of hard-fought wins over tenacious opponents Thursday. http://www.nflcoltsgearsshop.com/Jack-Doyle.html?cat=879 . The Toronto Blue Jays star won his second consecutive Hank Aaron Award as the most outstanding offensive performer in the AL on Monday after votes by fans and a panel of Hall of Famers were tallied.Ravaged by health issues, the Anaheim Ducks havent let that stop them from surging into the NHL lead. A victory over the Edmonton Oilers in their last game allowed them to pad that advantage, and theyll look to keep rolling when they close out this home-and-home series at Rexall Place on Friday night. The Ducks (19-6-5) have already lost 192 man-games to injury - and the mumps - with a quarter of their opening-night roster on the injured list. That includes top-line forward Corey Perry, out until January with a sprained knee. It hasnt prevented Anaheim from winning five in a row to give it the best record in the league. We have a lot of good players on this team, and experience makes players better, center Ryan Kesler said. When guys go down, guys have opportunities, and they make the most of it. We dont let much define us in here when we deal with adversity - or the mumps. Anaheims depth has been the difference - as has its ability to come out on top in close games. The Ducks last 12 victories have come by one goal. Matt Beleskey and Kesler scored and Frederik Andersen made 21 saves to lift the Ducks to a 2-1 victory over the Oilers (7-17-5) on Wednesday. Anaheim dominated play in the first two periods, outshooting Edmonton 27-14 and 34-22 for the game. I think if you want to win championships, you have to be a good defensive team and you have to win close games, defenseman Hampus Lindholm said. We can always be better, but we did enough to get a win. Kesler has four goals and an assist in the past three games, while Beleskeys goal gave him seven in his last 11. Anaheim plays its next five on the road in a stretch that will make it seven away games in an eight-game span. The Ducks are 9-3-2 on the road, where theyve won three of four. Theyve aalso gone 18-3-1 in the last 22 meetings with Edmonton, which is 1-9-4 in its previous 14 overall. John Simon Jersey. Not helping matters Wednesday was the fact that the Oilers were playing for the second straight night and third time in four days against a Ducks team that had been off since Sunday. We played a good road game, former Anaheim goaltender Viktor Fasth said. (Andersen) was good in net at the other end, but I still think we could have a little more traffic in front of him and make it harder for him. ... Its small things, and we have to look at those small details to become better. Weve got to start winning. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored early in the third period to cut Anaheims lead to one, but Edmonton managed two or fewer goals for the ninth time in 10 games. The clubs 63 goals are the fewest in the Western Conference. Its frustrating for everyone, coach Dallas Eakins told the teams official website. Weve got some guys who have proven they can put the puck in the net, and for whatever reason were just having trouble getting it in there right now. Its something you have to be extremely patient for. It eventually turns, but we need eventually to be now. Fasth made 34 saves in a strong performance and is likely to start again Friday. Though Anaheim has dominated this series in recent years, the Oilers won both meetings in Edmonton last season, scoring four goals each time.
