LAWRENCE, Kan. Tony Allen Jersey . — Canadian Andrew Wiggins exacted a little bit of revenge on Texas. So did the rest of the Kansas Jayhawks. On the eve of his 19th birthday, the freshman from Vaughan, Ont., put on a dazzling display of outside shooting and rim-rattling dunks. Wiggins finished with 21 points to lead the eighth-ranked Jayhawks to an 85-54 rout of No. 19 Texas, helping them seize control of the Big 12 race. It was a far different outcome than the first time the teams met, three weeks ago in Austin. Texas rolled to an 81-69 victory, and Wiggins managed seven points on 2-for-12 shooting. „We wanted to come out aggressive,“ Wiggins said. „Last time we got embarrassed at their place. We wanted to do the same thing to them, win every minute of every possession.“ They just about accomplished it. Joel Embiid added 13 points, seven rebounds and six blocks for the Jayhawks (21-6, 12-2), who lead the league race by three games with four to play. Kansas can wrap up at least a share of its 10th straight title when Oklahoma visits Allen Fieldhouse on Monday night. „That was our first goal to start the year off, to win a 10th straight Big 12 championship,“ said Frank Mason, who had 14 points off the bench. „Thats still our goal.“ Jonathan Holmes scored 17 points and Cameron Ridley had 11 for Texas, but they were about the only guys wearing burnt orange who seemed to solve the Jayhawks gritty man-to-man defence. Freshman guard Isaiah Taylor was held to just five points on 1-for-14 shooting, while Javan Felix was 2 of 9 from the field and finished with six points. „I talk about our guys not being as tough as wed like them to be, which were not, but they are prideful,“ Kansas coach Bill Self said. „Texas whipped us down there the first time. I said all along this game wasnt about the league race as much as it was playing Texas.“ The game actually played out in similar fashion to the first meeting, only this time it was Kansas that played flawlessly and Texas that looked like a mess. After the Longhorns jumped out to an 8-3 lead, they managed just one field goal over an 11-minute stretch as the Jayhawks launched a 32-5 run that put the game away. „They were really good, obviously, and you got to know after we played as well as we played against them the first time they were going to be ready to play,“ Texas coach Rick Barnes said. Wiggins led the way for Kansas, at one point scoring 12 points during a particularly brutal 14-0 spurt. He did it in dazzling fashion, too: There was the soaring fast-break dunk, the back-to-back 3-pointers, and the alley-oop jam off a pass from Wayne Selden Jr. that left the crowd roaring so loudly that the field house floor was shaking. „When I score early, it brings a lot of confidence to my game, especially when I hit a 3. I get on fire,“ Wiggins said. „My teammates did a good job of getting me the ball.“ By the time Connor Lammert finally hit a 3-pointer with about 5 minutes left in the half, the lead had ballooned to 28-13 and the Longhorns had exhausted nearly all their timeouts. „It can get away from you quick,“ Holmes said. „One or two possessions, you can look and youre down by six, eight and then 10 and then the game is over pretty much after that.“ Just how bad were the Longhorns in the first half? Try 6 of 29 from the field and 5 of 12 from the foul line, with five turnovers and three assists. They were dominated on the boards, dominated in the paint and, well, dominated just about everywhere else, too. Taylor, who had 23 points in the first meeting with Kansas, was 0 for 10 from the field as the Jayhawks built a 46-18 halftime advantage. And even when Texas managed to score — as it did out of the break — Kansas often answered with two buckets in return. It kept going like that throughout the second half as the Jayhawks outscored Texas 26-0 in transition and 38-22 in the paint, allowing them to empty their bench early. „I think we should give a refund to the fans,“ Barnes said. „Topeka YMCA probably would have given them a little better game, because we didnt give them a good game at all.“ Zach Randolph Jersey . Dane Dobbie had four goals and two assists, Karsen Leung had two goals and two assists, and Matthew Dinsdale scored two and helped on another for Calgary (6-3). Shawn Evans and Jeff Shattler had eight-point games with a goal and seven assists apiece, and Jon Harnett and Geoff Snider also scored. Shareef Abdur-Rahim Jersey . Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Doug Martin broke the news that hes cleared for full activity moving forward.Finn Russell was in impressive form as defending Pro12 champions Glasgow Warriors secured a bonus-point 46-10 win over Scarlets. Fly-half Russell and wing Lee Jones crossed twice each as Glasgow extended their winning run to eight Guinness Pro12 games with a seven-try hammering of Scarlets at Parc y Scarlets.Glasgow moved up to second place in the Pro12 table with this comprehensive win while Scarlets, who had to deal with 20 players being struck down with a stomach bug in midweek, slipped out of the play-off places with Ulster winning at Zebre. Russell provided a personal tally of 21 points with two tries, a penalty and and four conversions while Jones (two), scrum-half Henry Pyrgos, centre Mark Bennett and Tommy Seymour scored the other tries.Wales full-back Liam Williams, who returned for only his second game of the season, scored Scarlets only try, with Steven Shingler kicking a penalty and a conversion. Finn Russell offloads despite the tackle of Scarlets Hadleigh Parkes Defending champions Glasgow were able to name an all international squad of 23 and they deserved their 20-10 interval lead having been on the front foot for most of the half, scoring three tries to Scarlets one.Scarlets opened the scoring with a third-minute Shingler penalty but after that it was the Russell show. His first try came when he chipped over the Scarlets defence in the 22, caught it and scored. His conversion gave the visitors a 7-3 lead on seven minutes. DTH van der Meerwes injury added to Scarlets woes If Scarlets had not had enough problems with the stomach bug, which had caused the region to cancel Thursdays training session, they then lost influential Canada wing DTH van der Merwe with a shoulder injury after only 12 minutes. Grayson Allen Jersey. After Russell added a penalty he was over again on 25 minutes when Pyrgos released the ball from a driving maul and the athletic Russell got the ball down in the right corner.At 15-3 down Scarlets were on the back foot but responded well. They turned down two shots at goal and it paid off with Williams dancing over from 10 metres under the posts. Shingler converted to cut the deficit to five points. Glasgow Warriors Lee Jones scores his sides third Scarlets worked hard to launch another attack but when they turned over the ball Pyrgos conceived a counter attack and sent wing Jones in at the left corner for the third score.Glasgow carried on after the break where they had left off with Pygros over the line in the 41st minute for the bonus-point try after a fine break from Seymour. Russell added the extras.On 59 minutes Scarlets conceded a soft fifth try with Bennett picking up a loose ball and running on unopposed from 30 metres out with Russell converting again.It was not a great afternoon for the Scarlets, who had lost their previous home game to Cardiff Blues, and it only got worse when Seymour went over for the sixth try on 65 minutes after good work by Russell, who converted, and replacement Leone Nakarawa.Six minutes from time Russell went close to scoring a hat-trick before Jones was on hand to score his second to compound Scarlets misery. ‚ ‚ ‚
