Even with a big weekend awaiting, Rhode Island coach Dan Hurley doesnt think his No. 21 Rams will have trouble focusing on Wednesday nights Hall of Fame Tip-off game against Brown at Kingston, R.I.Thats Brown, a longtime local rival.We know what it is when we play Brown, Hurley said after the Rams disposed of Marist 107-65 on Monday night.The Bears of the Ivy League are 1-1 in this early season, losing to now-rated Cincinnati before opening their home season with a win over Niagara on Sunday behind Steven Spieth with a career night of 27 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists.(Brown coach) Mike (Martin) ... and the job he does with those guys in terms of how hard it is to play, how hard-nosed they are, their ability to shoot the ball and spread you out, said Hurley. Theyre playing pretty small. Every time weve played them its been a hell of a game.Last year, the Rams, dressing only seven scholarship players, pulled out an 88-85 victory over the Bears. URI has won four straight, 13 of the last 14 and 18 of the last 20, leading a series that started in 1909-10 by 104-53.Last years OT game should be more than enough for URI to stay focused on Brown -- even with a date with No. 24 Cincinnati and then quite possibly No. 1 Duke over the weekend at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut waiting. Duke faces Penn State on Saturday with the winners and losers pairing off the next day.Brown plays Albany and Marist in the tournaments other bracket at the same location.Our team can score the basketball, said Martin. We play at a pretty good pace and we have a lot of guys that can make plays.No one made more of them Sunday than Spieth, who came within one assist from becoming only the third Ivy Leaguer to record a triple-double. Dartmouths Ian McGinnis (2000) and Browns Jason Forte (2004) are the others.Spieth, a senior, hit only four baskets (on nine tries) but went 19-for-22 from the foul line in his career game. Obi Okalie scored 15 points and grabbed five rebounds and freshman Joshua Howard scored all 14 of his points in the first half.Im happy with todays win, Martin said after the game. We put in a lot of hard work in the off-season and it paid off today with a victory. We did enough defensively and got to the free-throw line.And get to 1-1 before URI.Ive gotten to know Mike over the last couple of years, hes an excellent coach, Hurley said. He will have his guys ready on Wednesday and we need to have the right mindset in that game.The Rams have dealt with sluggish defensive starts in each of their two games but had no trouble waking up in plenty of time -- upping their non-conference record on their Ryan Center home floor to 74-25. They have won 13 of their last 15 and 22 of their last 26 non-league games at home.

Adidas Neo Lite Racer Norge . PETERSBURG, Fla. Minutes before the Giants played their first game for premiership points, coach Kevin Sheedy told the AFL minnows how to grow a backbone.The moment was caught on camera and is clearly the mantra that has propelled them to their first finals series, just five seasons later.Dont ever let any club or player dominate you at a ball, at a stoppage, in the air or on the ground, Sheedy says in the team meeting.That is the essence of simple, bloody basic football.Now lets get it going.The word dominate is yelled.It was March 24, 2012 and cross-town rivals Sydney won that match at ANZ Stadium by 63 points.Earlier this month, at the same venue and against the same opposition, the Giants won their first final.It was a particularly-brutal clash that demonstrated, beyond any doubt, that no-one kicks the Giants around any more.On Saturday, they will host the Western Bulldogs in a preliminary final.Theyve listened to it, havent they?, Sheedy said with pride earlier this week.They havent been smashed a lot.Im talking to a bunch of young players at a very different period of their life than now and they did not nneed to be stood over while theyre getting smashed.dddddddddddd.Sheedy, the legendary four-time Essendon premiership coach, was in charge at the Giants for two seasons before handing over to Leon Cameron.It was a seamless succession, with the Giants improving each season before this years leap into the top four.The way Sheedy handled the first season was classic psychology - rather than 22 games, the Giants were encouraged to break it down to 88 quarters.So we had 88 half-hour matches, he said.That was the best way to train and get these boys never to lose their self-esteem and confidence (given) they were only one year out of Year 12.However bad the losses - and there were some big ones - the Giants were never squashed.Its the best 40 losses Ive ever had, said Sheedy, who has since returned to Essendon in an executive role.Get them over and done with, keep playing the kids, refresh them, put them out and rest them and all of a sudden theyre a game off a grand final.
