LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- Fenerbahces appeal against a two-season expulsion from the Champions League for match-fixing will open hours before it plays Arsenal in the first leg of a playoff, sports highest court said Monday. The Court of Arbitration for Sport set Wednesday and Thursday to hear Fenerbahces lawyers challenge sanctions imposed by UEFA. First, a CAS panel will on Tuesday hear a second urgent Turkish match-fixing case involving Europa League contender Besiktas. "CAS expects to issue its decisions on August 28 (Fenerbahce) and on August 30 (Besiktas)," the court said. The Fenerbahce verdict is due the day after Arsenal hosts the return match in London. On Aug. 29, the Champions League group stage draw is made in Monaco. UEFA expelled Fenerbahce from its competitions in June after judging that club officials helped fix matches to win the 2011 Turkish league title. UEFA rules bar clubs which are implicated in fixing matches played since April 2007. All parties agreed to let Fenerbahce continue playing Champions League matches until the final verdict. UEFA expelled Besiktas for one season because its officials were implicated in the same widespread national investigation for fixing the 2011 Turkish Cup final. Besiktas has been drawn against Tromso in the Europa League playoffs. The first leg is in Norway on Thursday and the return match in Istanbul on Aug. 29. Fenerbahce has a second, separate hearing against UEFA at CAS on Sept. 20. The club is challenging a threatened one-year ban from UEFA competitions after repeated crowd trouble incidents last season. UEFA deferred the sanction for a two-year probation period. UEFA acted after Fenerbahce fans parachuted lit fireworks into their empty stadium during a Europa League home match against BATE Borisov that was played behind closed doors for previous incidents in February. Fenerbahce reached the semifinals last season despite playing two home matches with fans barred from the stadium.

They reached the 100-point plateau for the fourth time in five games, bested the visiting Trail Blazers by 34 in the paint and scored 19 of the final 25 points in regulation. Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy has sort of an unusual concern regarding his Cowboys as they prepare for Saturdays Big 12 clash with Texas Tech.They score too quickly.Or at least they did last week in a shootout with Kansas State.After taking the lead on running back Chris Carsons 17-yard run with 1:46 remaining in the game, the Cowboys needed a red-zone stop to secure their 43-37 win over the Wildcats.I joked with the guys and said I wish I would have told Carson to slide on the 5-yard line if he gets in the open, and they did not think it was very funny, Gundy said. You have to score when you have to score to score, but everybody that watches Big 12 football knows with the quarterback play weve got in this league, no lead is ever safe.That presents an interesting scenario for this weekend when the No. 13 Cowboys (7-2, 5-1 Big 12) and unranked Red Raiders (4-5, 2-4 Big 12) face off at 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday in Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater. FoxSports1 will telecast the Big 12 contest.The two teams last year combined for 123 points. After comparatively mild 24-17 and 34-17 wins for the Cowboys in 2009 and 2010, the last five meetings -- all wins for the Cowboys -- have been by scores of 66-6, 59-21, 52-34, 45-35, and, finally, 70-53.With Oklahoma State averaging nearly 41 points a game and Texas Tech 46, a repeat performance wouldnt be all that surprising.We play a lot of games in this league where it isnt easy to predict what the score will be, just because of the quarterback play and how explosive teams can be at any given time, Gundy said.Backing up the notion that the game could turn into an offensive show is the play of the respective quarterbacks.Oklahoma States Mason Rudolph set a personal best for passing yards in a road game with 457 against Kansas State. Rudolph completed 29 of 38 passes and bounced back from two interceptions, one resulting in a pick-six. He came into the game with only two picks on the season and a string of 163 paasses without an interception.ddddddddddddTexas Techs Patrick Mahomes was under pressure the whole game in last weeks loss to Texas, but still threw for more than 300 yards for the seventh time in nine games in 2016. He has averaged passing for just under 432 yards a game.Mahomes is an outstanding player with outstanding targets and its kind of hard to get a grasp on them, OSU defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer said. Conceptually, they have concepts, but then their biggest plays come off of when he scrambles around and creates a different play from it, so we have to be very disciplined and stay with the receivers a long time.Well have to show him a couple of different looks, confuse the looks for him, but its the reason hes leading the nation in all of those offensive categories. Hes a great talent and hes going to be a tough task for us.The Cowboys go into the game in second place in the conference standings behind Oklahoma, which is unbeaten in league play at 6-0. Win out -- they finish against TCU and the Sooners -- and they win the title.The Red Raiders are looking for two more wins in their remaining three games to get to bowl eligibility. But Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury isnt emphasizing that angle.Im sure players think about it. Coaches think about it, Kingsbury said. But when youre playing a top-15 team on the road, you better worry about them first. Thats a big challenge, and its been our main focus.After the trip to Stillwater, the Red Raiders finish against Iowa State and Baylor.We havent beaten them in a long time, Kingsbury said of the Cowboys. I would expect us to be excited to play.Its a ranked team, probably the last ranked team well play this season. On the road, they always have a great environment. The fans are right on top of you. So I think our players understand what it means and how long its been. ' ' '
