Coming off of its first home loss in nearly two years, sixth-ranked Virginia has a quick turnaround when it plays host to East Carolina on Tuesday night.The Cavaliers fell to No. 25 West Virginia 66-57 on Saturday afternoon and suffered just their third loss at home since the 2013 season. The other two losses came at the hands of Duke and Wisconsin.The loss to West Virginia ended a 24-game home winning streak and a five-game home winning streak against ranked opponents.Virginia played its worse game of the young season as they turned the ball over 14 times, allowing the Mountaineers to convert 18 points off of those turnovers. East Carolina enters Tuesdays matchup with a 7-2 record but against opponents that are not to the level of the Cavaliers.The Pirates do have a solid defense that is allowing just under 60 points per game and should challenge a Virginia offense that has sputtered in their last two games.The Cavaliers have scored just 120 points combined in their last two, and the Pirates will give them their moneys worth on the defensive end and on the glass. East Carolina is averaging 44 rebounds per game, which ranks them in the top 10 in the country in that category.Not many words were said. Guys were just upset. Coach Bennett said, Its not the end of the season. Learn from this, grow from this. He didnt think the effort was poor. We just need to fix a few breakdowns, and well learn from it and get better, Virginia freshman guard Ty Jerome said after the Cavaliers loss to West Virginia.Jerome played 10 minutes in Virginias loss on Saturday and helped break the Mountaineers press in the Cavaliers four-guard lineup. Despite not scoring, Jerome showed he will continue to see minutes as a freshman with his ability to take care of the basketball.Guard Darius Thompson had his best game of the season with 14 points and was the only Cavaliers player to score in double figures.Guard London Perrantes was just 2 of 10 from the field as he struggled against a West Virginia defense that knew it had to key on him. Tuesdays game against East Carolina should give the senior a chance to bounce back and get his shooting on track.Asked how much he sees his opponents key on him, Perrantes said, A lot. I feel like I get everybodys best now, with Malcolm 1/8Brogdon 3/8 and Anthony 1/8Gill 3/8 being gone. I just have to get used to it.It is early in the season and Im not used to it, but we have guys that can step up and help me and help the team, so Im not worried too much about it.East Carolina is led by guard Caleb White, who is averaging 15 points per game in 33 minutes played per game this season. White dropped 20 points in the Pirates 69-57 win over North Carolina Central on Saturday and he will be key for the East Carolina offense against Virginias packline defense. Adidas Nmd r2 Deutschland . Coach Tom Thibodeau says the former MVP will probably start travelling with the team in the next few weeks.

Arsenal failed to take full advantage of its main rivals stumbles on Saturday as substitute Gerard Deulofeu levelled with a hard shot from a tight angle in the 84th minute to give Everton a deserved point. Ahead of a crucial fortnight that will see them play against Napoli in the Champions League, Manchester City and Chelsea, Arsenal leads by five points ahead of Liverpool and Chelsea. Adidas Lite Racer Deutschland . Paul Pierce couldnt believe he missed at the end. Young scored a season-high 26 points to spark a huge effort from the leagues most productive bench, and Los Angeles beat the Brooklyn Nets 99-94 on Wednesday night after blowing a 27-point lead. Adidas Eqt Deutschland . After a first half in which he thought "the lid was on the basket," the Toronto Raptors coach watched his squad mount a second half surge to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers 98-91. The Chicago Bulls will have, perhaps, the most fitting opponent of any team in the NBA for a season-opening game Thursday night at the United Center.Chicago will debut its retooled roster against the Boston Celtics, with the Bulls Three Alphas -- otherwise known as guards Jimmy Butler, Dwayne Wade and Rajon Rondo -- leading the way.It is a familiar structural concept to Rondo, the veteran point guard who signed with the Bulls in the offseason. In the early stages of his career, Rondo was a member of the Celtics when the Big Three, of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce led Boston to the 2008 NBA title.Rondo and Wade are both aging, but feel they can help Butler bring the Bulls back to the playoffs in the Eastern Conference -- if not achieve loftier goals.Outside of the Bulls and their Three Alphas, expectations are low. Butler, however, said he isnt paying attention to prognostications.I dont think (criticism) motivates us to do anything, Butler told the Chicago Sun-Times. Theyre going to say and do whatever theyre going to say and do whatever they want to do and say anyways. So ... motivation? Nah. Motivation is we get to go out and compete and put on for this organization every day.Wade and Rondo werent the lone additions to the Bulls roster, however.After trading former point guard Derrick Rose to the New York Knicks, the Bulls blew up last seasons roster with a significant overhaul for coach Fred Hoibergs second season. They will start out with 14 players, one short of the NBA maximum, and will have eight faces making their Bulls regular-season debut.Along with Rondo and Wade, Chicago will unveil center Robin Lopez, recently acquired backup guard Michael Carter-Williams, rookie guard Denzel Valentine, guard Jerian Grant, guard Isaiah Canaan and German rookie forward Paul Zipser.Wade, Rondo and Butler will start, along with Lopez and power forward Taj Gibson -- who earned a starting role over Nikola Mirotic. That starting five is geared more for slugging it out in the paint than spreading the floor and draining 3-pointers.dddddddddddd.We feel like (Gibson) has played excellent basketball throughout the preseason, Hoiberg said this week. Hes been good in practices. Weve talked to our guys about that. Niko has had a couple good practices in a row now. You try to get him in a good rhythm coming out of the gate, but thats the way were going to start.The Celtics will be a good test for Chicago, after opening their season Wednesday night with a 122-117 win over against the Brooklyn Nets -- to whom they traded Garnett and Pierce in a deal that is paying dividends for Boston in a bevy of draft picks that were acquired.Isaiah Thomas led Boston with 25 points and nine assists against Brooklyn, and Jae Crowder added 21 points.The Celtics are coming off back-to-back playoff appearances, and they added four-time NBA All-Star Al Horford, who signed a four-year free agent contract worth $113 million. Horfords veteran experience up front is expected to mesh nicely with Bostons young core group.He contributed 11 points, six assists and five rebounds Wednesday as Boston held on to top the Nets. Brooklyn trailed by 21 with 5 1/2 minutes left yet had two chances to tie in the late going.Thats the NBA for you, Horford said. I think it will humble you sometimes. We had a comfortable lead and we thought it was fine, but this is a good learning experience for our group.Role players Marcus Smart (ankle) and Kelly Olynyk (shoulder) are injured to start the season, but the Celtics are confident their replacements can grant enough rest to the starters.In the opener, the Celtics chalked up 36 assists on 48 baskets -- the most assists by a team in an NBA opener since 2001. They also committed 19 turnovers.We could have even had more assists if we knocked down our open shots, Thomas said. ' ' '
