A return to the Kohl Center is welcomed by No. 9 Wisconsin.Wisconsin hosts Chicago State (1-0) on Thursday night (8 ET) on its home court in Madison, Wis., looking to rebound from a loss at Creighton.The Badgers (1-1) will attempt to improve ball handling and 3-point shooting that eluded them, at junctures, earlier this week.Creighton took advantage of Wisconsin turnovers on Tuesday night in a 79-67 win at CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Neb., as the No. 22 Bluejays scored 26 points off of 16 Badgers turnovers. The matchup between the teams was part of the Gavitt Tipoff Games, a tournament which features Big Ten Conference and Big East Conference teams.The Badgers will be looking for more from their seniors.Wisconsin senior guard Bronson Koenig scored a game-high 21 points against Creighton, but also had four turnovers. Senior forward Nigel Hayes added 16 points against Creighton but relied heavily on perimeter jumpers that werent falling.Koenig and Hayes combined were 6 of 20 from 3-point range for Wisconsin, which finished 28.2 percent (11 of 39) overall from 3-point range in the setback. The Badgers missed 22 of their final 25 attempts from long range against the Bluejays.The Badgers outrebounded the Bluejays 42-27, but lacked success with an inside attack on offense, collecting 4-of-5 free throws in the setback.Sophomore F Ethan Happ, who earned Big Ten freshman of the year honors last season with 12.4 points per game, scored seven points against Creighton. He had four turnovers.Wisconsin coach Greg Gard said the road effort would serve as a teaching moment in the early season.I thought at times we showed some very uncharacteristic handling of possessions where we got disheveled at times, Gard said. But I thought coming here to start the year would be good, that wed learn a lot from this. We definitely will.The next test is from Chicago State, a team playing eight of its first 10 games on the road in regular-season action. Chicago State secured a 97-89 victory against NCAA Division III opponent Illinois Tech on Nov. 12.Chicago State went 4-28 overall last season, and finished eighth in the eight-team Western Athletic Conference with a 0-14 record.Senior guard Clemmye Owens V is fresh off a strong performance in the Cougars win against Illinois Tech. Owens scored 26 points and drilled 5-of-6 baskets from 3-point range. Owens, who averaged 9.1 ppg last season, is a transfer player from Bethune-Cookman.Tracy Dildy is working his seventh season as head coach and was named Chicago States athletic director in July 2016.Dildy said hes eager to see how the Cougars respond with three veterans in the starting lineup. Senior swingman Trayvon Palmer averaged a team-leading 7.8 rebounds per game and 9.5 ppg last season, and senior guard Fred Sims Jr. (10.9 ppg) is Chicago States returning scoring leader.These young men are focused, they are really motivated -- last season really left a bad taste in their mouths, for both of them, Dildy said of Palmer and Sims.The Wisconsin game could be a really big game for us. I think our guys are really looking (forward) to that game. Ray Ban Sunglasses Sale Online . President of baseball operations Larry Beinfest was fired Friday after 12 years with the Marlins.

Coach Tom Thibodeau says the former MVP will probably start travelling with the team in the next few weeks.

Discount Ray Ban Aviator Sale . -- Peyton Manning will have all of his wide receivers available for the first time in a month when the Denver Broncos begin their playoff run Jan. ST. LOUIS -- Opponents generally know that one of the biggest keys to beating the St. Louis Blues is to find a way to shut down their leading scorer, right winger Vladimir Tarasenko.Teams have more than Tarasenko to worry about now, however, because of the way the combination of left winger Jaden Schwartz, center Paul Stastny and right winger David Perron are playing since being placed on a line together.Shutting down that line will be the challenge for the Dallas Stars when they visit the Blues on Monday night.In his last seven games, Perron owns two goals and eight assists. Schwartz, in his last six games, scored five goals and assisted on three more. Stastny adds two goals and two assists in his last five games.The three forwards combined for all three of the Blues goals in regulation on Saturday night before Perron scored the only goal in the shootout in a 4-3 win over Minnesota.Perron recorded at least one point in his last seven games, the longest active streak in the NHL. He is second to Tarasenko in scoring for the Blues with six goals and nine assists this season.Its going good, Schwartz said. Were getting chances. Both guys (Stastny and Perron) are smart players, can make plays in tight areas, working hard for each other. Stas is doing a great job on faceoffs, hes taking a lot of (defensive) zone draws, winning a lot of faceoffs, doing a lot of little things.We havent been together for certain times in a game, or well switch wingers, but were ggetting some good reads off Perron.ddddddddddddhe play of the three forwards helped the Blues go 9-1-2 at home this season, including wins in their last four games.If you look at the way he (Schwartz) is scoring, and Paul too, I think both of them, theyre creating a lot of offense by going around the net, said defenseman Alex Pietrangelo. I think when were getting the puck there and were getting bodies in front, you have guys with that type of vision, theyre going to find the puck like that.Trying to find the right combination of his forwards is the challenge for Stars coach Lindy Ruff, who shuffles Tyler Seguin, Jamie Benn, Jason Spezza and Patrick Sharp into different spots in the lineup.Right now, we just arent quite clicking to put a game away, Ruff said. Its going to start with the Seguins, the Benns, Spezza, Sharp, those guys. Until our top guys can push through and make a difference, our games are going to be a lot tighter and we re going to be a little up and down.The Stars scored just one or two goals in four of their last six games. They are coming off a 2-1 win at home over Vancouver as they begin a four-game road trip.Dallas made one roster move on Sunday, recalling defenseman Stephen Johns from the Texas Stars of the AHL. Johns played in 16 games with the Stars earlier this season before being sent to the minors. ' ' '
