missing the NCAA Tournament the Antworten

LONDON -- While Novak Djokovic -- he of the 30-match Grand Slam winning streak -- and Roger Federer can relax and enjoy their places in Wimbledons third round, there are more than two dozen players still stuck in the opening round.That includes eight women who enter Thursday without having played a single point in the grass-court tournament thanks to plenty of rain, among them No. 11 Timea Bacsinszky and No. 31 Kristina Mladenovic.While every man has at least started his first-round match, 12 head into Day 4 needing to complete those contests.The top American man, 18th-seeded John Isner, has finished only one full set against Marcos Baghdatis, taking it in a tiebreaker. They are scheduled to resume Thursday -- weather permitting, of course -- with Baghdatis ahead 3-1 in the second.Mikhail Youzhny and Horacio Zeballos are also in the second set of their first-round match.And the list goes on and on.In all, there are 28 players who are hoping to get out of the first round Thursday.All of the wet weather wreaked so much havoc with the schedule that the first round of mens doubles matches were reduced from best-of-five sets to best-of-three.And the worst news of all? The long-range forecast shows there is a chance of rain every day through next Tuesday.Here is what else to look for at Wimbledon on Thursday:MURRAYS TURN: No. 1 Djokovic and No. 3 Federer got to enjoy the protection of the Centre Court roof Wednesday and completed their matches while there was under two hours of play elsewhere on the grounds. No. 2 Andy Murray gets the same treatment Thursday. Hell be playing his second-round match against 76th-ranked Yen-hsun Lu of Taiwan. Murray has lost only one match at any Grand Slam tournament to a player ranked that low, and it was more than a decade ago, against No. 91 Arnaud Clement at the 2005 U.S. Open.WILLIAMS SISTERS: Serena and Venus Williams are scheduled to play doubles Thursday, part of their reunion tour this season before the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. In singles, though, six-time Wimbledon champion Serena gets the day off, while five-time champ Venus, who is seeded No. 8, takes on 115th-ranked Maria Sakkari in a second-round match. Sakkari will be trying to become the first Greek woman to reach the third round at a major since Eleni Daniilidou at Wimbledon in 2005.BOUCHARD VS. KONTA: Two women who closed out rain-interrupted first-round victories Wednesday are back in action when No. 16 Johanna Konta -- the first British woman seeded at the All England Club since Jo Durie in 1984 -- faces 2014 Wimbledon runner-up Eugenie Bouchard.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich Air Max 270 Mens Canada .J.

Air Max 95 Sale Canada . Here are his mid-season NBA awards. MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level. LAS VEGAS -- Marvin Menzies knew it would take some time to know what type of team he had at UNLV. He was new, the system was new and so were most of the players.The timeframe has been extended by a series of injuries before the season even started.Dwayne Morgan, Cheickna Dembele and Jovan Mooring all suffered injuries during preseason camp, leaving the Runnin Rebels short-handed in practice and unable to fully implement the style of play Menzies would like after taking over the storied program.If anything, you look for the silver lining: Better on the front end, Menzies said. But weve got enough bullets to start the battle. Hopefully we can get these guys back and catch some continuity when they get back.UNLV had a rough 2015-16 season, finishing 18-15 after coach Dave Rice was fired in January.The school flirted with Rick Pitino and Mick Cronin before hiring Chris Beard to run the program. Less than a week later, Beard was gone, leaving Las Vegas to become the head coach at Texas Tech, where he previously worked as an assistant.UNLV then turned back to Menzies, who had been in the running for the job the first go-round. The 55-year-old former UNLV assistant made a name for himself in nine seasons at New Mexico State, routinely pulling in strong recruiting classes while leading the Aggies to the NCAA Tournament five times.Menzies task at UNLV is to turn around a program thats been inconsistent despite a wealth of talent, missing the NCAA Tournament the past three seasons.Stephen Zimmerman, Patrick McCaw and Derrick Jones Jr., the best players from last years team, headed off to the NBA and several other players left the program, leaving Menzies a small window to build his roster almost from the ground up.The affable coach did well in a short timeframe,, adding five freshmen and five transfers who should at least make the Runnin Rebels competitive in the Mountain West.ddddddddddddThe fans can expect a team thats going to play with a little bit of a chip on their shoulder, Menzies said. Theyve got some things to prove about their individual work and collectively, their teamwork.A few more things to look for from the 2016-17 UNLV Runnin Rebels:NON-CONFERENCE SCHEDULE: This new group of Runnin Rebels will get tested early and often in a difficult non-conference schedule. Following the opener against South Alabama on Nov. 11, UNLV will face No. 1 Duke, No. 5 Oregon and No. 2 Kansas in a span of 12 days. The Runnin Rebels also will play TCU and its new coach Jamie Dixon and has a potential match-up against Washington on Nov. 26.RETURNING PLAYERS: UNLV has just three returning scholarship players. Morgan is an athletic 6-foot-8 forward who averaged 5.5 points and 2.1 rebounds in 22 games last season. Sophomore guard Jalen Poyser appeared in all 33 games last season, averaging 5.4 points. Senior forward Tyrell Green saw limited action last season, averaging 1.8 points in eight games.TRANSFERS: UNLVs transfers include three from junior college and two graduate transfers. Christian Jones, a 6-7 forward, averaged 8.4 points and 5.2 rebounds with St. Johns last season. San Francisco transfer Uche Ofoegbu averaged 9.2 points and 4.6 shots for the Dons last season. Mooring, a 6-2 guard from Chicago, should provide some scoring boost after averaging 26.6 points at South Suburban College, where he was the NJCAA Division II basketball player of the year and MVP of the national tournament.
