REGINA - Police have confirmed that former Saskatchewan Roughrider Kory Sheets was busted for pot possession several weeks ago and received an absolute
discharge.
Paul Millsap Jersey . RCMP say the running back was pulled over outside the southern Saskatchewan community of Estevan for
speeding. An officer smelled marijuana and, when asked, Sheets produced two
joints and some loose weed totalling 6.4 grams. The one-time CFL player pleaded
guilty to possession of marijuana at a court appearance. Sheets has made a $300
charitable donation to Students Against Drunk Driving as part of the discharge.
Sheets signed an NFL contract with the Oakland Raiders this year. Police say
Sheets also received a 24-hour roadside suspension after showing signs of
impaired driving when he was pulled over, but there were no charges.
Dominique Wilkins Jersey . The 42-ranked Czech saved seven break points while converting his one chance, and defeated the
No. 3 seed in 1 hour 46 minutes. Rosol, who lost in the final in Stuttgart
against Roberto Bautista Agut on Sunday, awaits the winner between Philipp
Kohlschreiber or 2011 champion Gilles Simon.
Swingman Kyle Korver Jersey . The 24-year-old right winger has one assist in nine games this season with the Sabres. In his
career, he has three goals and six assists in 43 NHL games. WICHITA, Kan. --
Evansville coach Marty Simmons watched his young team race out to a big early
lead on No. 4 Wichita State. Then he saw the Shockers slap on the press and come
roaring right back. Its something theyve done to plenty of teams this season.
D.J. Balentine had 26 points in another strong performance, but the Purple Aces
were unable to hold onto an early 15-point lead and lost 81-67 at raucous Koch
Arena on Saturday. "Its about the process. Its about the possession. You start
thinking like that," Simmons said, when asked about getting comfortable with the
big lead, "bad things are going to happen." They certainly happened quickly.
Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker scored 14 points apiece for undefeated Wichita
State. The Shockers comeback began when Baker scored with 8:12 remaining in the
first half, starting a 27-4 run spanning halftime and turning a 15-point deficit
into a 41-33 lead. The charge was fueled by a three-quarter-court pressure that
forced Evansville into several turnovers, the only time that a team starting two
freshmen and three sophomores looked shaky. "When theyre making their run, its
like pouring gasoline on the fire," Simmons said with a shake of his head.
"Thats something we have to learn from." It didnt help that the Purple Aces were
mired in foul trouble. Duane Gibson and fellow guard Adam Wing each had three
fouls by halftime, and four others had two fouls apiece. That included
Balentine, who sat on the bench for the final couple of minutes so that he
wouldnt be tempted into picking up his own third foul. The Purple Aces hung
around until the midway point of the second half, when Evan Wessels basket began
a run of seven straight points that gave the Shockers a 70-52 lead. Wichita
State never allowed the Purple Aces (10-13, 3-7) to get close the final 8
minutes, avengiing two frustrating losses to them a year ago.
Pete Maravich Jersey. "The way they started, I said, Oh boy, here we go again," Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said. "But
we finally got stops. They missed a couple and we got out in transition." The
Shockers (23-0, 10-0) rallied from a 19-point deficit to defeat Missouri State
earlier this season, and have often found themselves suffering through long
stretches of poor play only to come out unscathed by the final buzzer. So is
there a deficit too big to overcome? "Lets just hope we dont find out," Marshall
said. "Im sure there is, at this point not so far, but lets just hope we dont
find out anytime soon." Balentine, who was coming off a 43-point performance
against Northern Iowa, finished 11 of 21 from the field. But he didnt get a
whole lot of help from his teammates, who struggled against the length and
athleticism of the Shockers forwards. "They play so hard and theyre so active
and they have so many good pieces," Simmons said. "They change things up and
they keep you off balance." Cleanthony Early added 13 points and Tekele Cotton
had 12 for the Shockers, who havent lost since last years surprising run to the
Final Four, and now face the toughest two-game stretch standing between them and
an unbeaten regular season. First up is Indiana State on Wednesday night,
followed by a trip to Northern Iowa -- the two closest teams to the Shockers in
the Missouri Valley standings. Incidentally, the only Valley school with a
better start than the Shockers was the Indiana State team led by Larry Bird,
which won its first 33 games before losing an iconic NCAA title game to Magic
Johnson and Michigan State on March 26, 1979. "Its something a lot of people
have talked about," Baker said. "Were excited about it."
