Nassau, Bahamas (SportsNetwork.com) - The No. 2 team in the land takes the court in the Battle 4 Atlantis on Wednesday evening, as the Wisconsin Badgers square off against the UAB Blazers. Both teams are playing their first game outside of their home arena, with the Badgers winning their first four, and the Blazers splitting their four. Wisconsin has put forth one stifling defensive effort after another, in beating the likes of Northern Kentucky (62-31), Chattanooga (89-45), Green Bay (84-60) and Boise State (78-54). UABs victories have come against Young Harris (94-81) and Jackson State (58-50), while its losses were to ULM (74-65) and USF (73-71 OT). This bout marks the first meeting between the Badgers and Blazers, and both teams will return to action on Thanksgiving to tangle with either Florida or Georgetown, depending on the outcomes of Wednesdays games. Wisconsins Frank Kaminsky has been a beast here in the early going, averaging a double-double consisting of 19.3 points and 10.3 rpg, while Nigel Hayes is close to turning the trick as well with his 15.3 points and 9.8 caroms per contest. Additionally, Sam Dekker (14.0 ppg, 3.8 rpg) and Traevon Jackson (10.0 ppg, 3.5 apg) are both averaging double digits in the scoring column for a team that is netting 78.2 ppg behind a 52.6 percent shooting effort. Wisconsins defensive effort, as it has been just about every year under head coach Bo Ryan, has been exceptional as foes are scoring only 47.5 ppg behind typical shooting outputs of .341 overall and .279 from 3-point range. Factor in a whopping +15 rebounding margin and its easy to see why the Badgers have yet to be tested. Kaminsky knocked down 11-of-13 field goal attempts in tallying 26 points to lead Wisconsin to its relatively easy win over Boise State last Saturday. Hayes added 15 points and Jackson had 11 for the Badgers, who converted 55.4 percent of their total shots, with 10 treys mixed in as well. The team committed only five turnovers, but did allow the Broncos to drain 7-of-11 3- point tries. Despite losing as many games as it has won to this point, UAB is scoring 72 ppg while taking advantage of nearly 19 turnovers per outing from the opposition. Unfortunately, those same foes are hitting almost 40 percent of their 3-point attempts while also laying claim to a +4.7 rebounding differential. Despite coming off the bench, Tyler Madison paces the teams scoring effort, but with only 12.7 ppg. C.J. Washington (11.5 ppg, 4.8 rpg) and Robert Brown (10.0 ppg, 4.8 rpg) are the only starters averaging double figures, although Tosin Mehinti (9.5 ppg, 4.8 rpg) is close to joining them. Nick Norton has dished out 26 assists while coming up with 11 steals. In UABs recent win over Jackson State, Brown scored 12 points as the only player to reach double figures. The Blazers connected on only 35.3 percent of their field goal attempts, missing the mark on 16 of their 21 3-point tries, but allowed just one trey to the Tigers while goading them into a staggering 27 turnovers. UAB won the game despite suffering a 40-24 deficit on the glass, making up for that by outscoring JSU at the foul line, 17-7. MLB Jerseys 2020 Online .

Tuesdays first mens quarterfinal was never close and the second wasnt much more competitive. Berdych became the first player to stamp his ticket into the semifinals following a shocking 6-2, 6-0, 7-6 (7-5) win over the second-seeded former world No. 1 Nadal at the years first Grand Slam event. Murray, a three-time Aussie Open runner-up, then dispatched 19-year-old Aussie crowd favorite Nick Kyrgios, 6-3, 7-6 (7-5), 6-3. The third-seeded Nadal was able to fend off a pair of match points in his final service game of the third set, but was unable to overcome a 2-5 deficit in the tiebreak. With the No. 7 seed Berdych up 6-5, Nadal sent the backhand of Berdychs serve into the net and the Czech officially put his straight-set triumph into the books. Berdych had dropped 17 consecutive matches to last years Aussie Open finalist Nadal, a streak that dated back to 2007. He also reached his second straight Aussie semi. The big-hitting Berdych had been 3-18 lifetime against Nadal, including a loss in the 2010 Wimbledon final. Nadal owns 14 major titles, including a lone Aussie championship in 2009. Hes also a two-time runner-up at Melbourne Park, including last year against Stan Wawrinka. It just was not my day, said Nadal. I didnt play with the right intensity, with the right rhythm, and the opponent played better than me. You have to play well to win against a player like Tomas. I didnt play my best today. He played better than me and thats it. Thats sport. Sometimes, almost every time, it is simple: the player who plays better, the player who is able to maintain the better rhythm, the better concentration, play with less mistakes, is the player who has more success. And today this player has been Tomas. Meanwhile, Murray was in command throughout against Kyrgios and didnt face a break point against hhis serve until the seventh game of the third set.dddddddddddd He advanced to the semifinals for the fifth time in the last six years, bouncing back from a quarterfinal loss to Roger Federer last year. The sixth-seeded Scot broke for a 4-2 lead in the first set and won a tight tiebreak in the second before breaking serve for another 4-2 lead in the third. Kyrgios finally answered with a break, but Murray responded with one of his own for a 5-3 advantage and held serve to finish the match in just over two hours. Im happy. Its nice to be in the latter stages of a slam again, said Murray. Im happy with that. Obviously we want to do the best possible, but all you can do is prepare as best you can, which I certainly did over the past few weeks and months, and have given myself an opportunity. Maybe I wont play well in a couple of days; maybe I play great. I dont know. But Ive given myself a good opportunity again, and hopefully I can use it to my advantage. The two-time Grand Slam champion Murray will meet Berdych in the semis. Mens quarterfinal play will continue Wednesday. The fourth-seeded defending Melbourne champion Wawrinka will face fifth-seeded U.S. Open runner-up Kei Nishikori and the evening match will feature four-time Aussie winner Novak Djokovic against eighth-seeded Canadian slugger Milos Raonic. Obviously, if he serves as well as he does, 20, 30 aces average per match, puts a lot of pressure on the opponents serve, Djokovic said of Raonic. You take a chance, you double fault, the set is gone. These kind of matches are very challenging mentally for us to play against servers like that. Djokovic is a perfect 4-0 versus Raonic, while Wawrinka is 2-1 lifetime against Nishikori, although the Japanese star captured their last meeting in the U.S. Open quarterfinals back in September. The world No. 1 Djokovic is the reigning Wimbledon champion who is seeking an eighth Grand Slam title. He captured three straight Aussie crowns from 2011-13. ' ' '
