Seattle, WA (SportsNetwork.com) - Facing their second straight opponent from the Pac-12 Conference, the Grambling State Tigers pay a visit to the 16th- ranked Washington Huskies on Wednesday night. Grambling took on Oregon State in Corvallis on Monday, and the team suffered a 71-43 loss to fall to 2-6 on the season. It was the Tigers fifth loss in the last six games, the lone triumph coming in a 74-64 decision against visiting Selma on Dec. 6. All six of the squads setbacks have come on the road. At 8-0, Washington is off to its best start since beginning the 2005-06 campaign at 11-0. The Huskies were most recently in action on Sunday, when they got past visiting Eastern Washington in an 81-77 final. EWU became the first opponent to score more than 70 points against Washington this season. UW is 3-0 at home this season, and this game puts the wraps on a three-game homestand as the team heads to Las Vegas next to take part in the MGM Showcase against nationally-ranked Oklahoma on Saturday. This bout marks the fourth meeting between these two schools on the hardwood, with Washington having won the previous three. The last meeting took place in Seattle on Dec. 7, 1986. Grambling put forth an absolutely dreadful shooting performance in Mondays blowout loss at Oregon State, coming up with all of nine field goals on 32 attempts (.281). If not for a 23-of-28 effort at the foul line, the outcome would have been even more lopsided. Mark Gray converted all eight of his free throws to tally 14 points, while Richard Freeman came off the bench to chip in with 10 of his own. The Tigers, who committed an eye-popping 26 turnovers, were nearly as inept at the defensive end as they allowed the Beavers to drain almost half of their total shots, which included an 8-of-19 effort from 3- point range. Grambling is the lowest scoring team in Division I, averaging a mere 47 ppg due to sub par shooting efforts that rank the team at or near the bottom of the national standings as well. At the other end, foes are generating well over 70 ppg, and the team is being badly beaten on the boards, while committing nearly 16 turnovers game. ATorri Shine is the only player averaging double figures for the season, as he nets 12 ppg. He was held scoreless on Monday night though. Robert Upshaw scored a career-high 21 points, grabbed nine rebounds and blocked six shots in a superb effort off the bench for Washington in its recent win over Eastern Washington. Three others joined him in double figures, as Nigel Williams-Goss added 19 points, Andrew Andrews 18 and Mike Anderson a dozen for the Huskies, who made good on 46.4 percent of their field goal attempts and scored 24 points at the free-throw line. Conversely, the Eagles were held to 36.8 percent field goal efficiency while coming up short in the battle on the boards, 42-35. With a perfect record, its no surprise that the Huskies have performed well at both ends of the court, as they generate 71.5 ppg while yielding just 60.0 ppg. Williams-Goss (15.3 ppg), Andrews (13.3 ppg) and Upshaw (10.4 ppg) are the units double-digit scorers, although Shawn Kemp, Jr. (9.1 ppg) is close to joining them. Washingtons defensive prowess has resulted in foes shooting just 34 percent from the floor, which includes a woeful 26.1 percent showing from beyond the arc. Jeffrey Bruma Jersey . Top-ranked Rafael Nadal was also taken to three sets but emerged with a 6-3, 6-7 (3), 6-3 win over Tobias Kamke of Germany, while second-seeded David Ferrer joined Murray in making an early exit after a 6-4, 7-5 loss to Daniel Brands of Germany. Luuk de Jong Jersey . The closer wasnt available. The road trip, a disaster to that point. http://www.soccernetherlandsshop.us/Wesley-Sneijder-Netherland-Jersey/ . According to the Red Wings Twitter feed, Zetterberg plans to practice with the team on Thursday and is aiming for a second round comeback.

Georginio Wijnaldum Jersey . - PGA Tour rookie Tony Finau shot a 9-under 63 at Del Monte and had a two-stroke lead over Billy Andrade and Lee Janzen of the Champions Tour after Thursdays opening round of the Callaway Pebble Beach Invitational.The upcoming NFL Draft has no shortage of big name NCAA players, including a record number of early entrants. Mays Draft will see underclassmen enter, forgoing their senior years with hopes of being picked into the pros. How comfortable are you with your team picking an underclassman in the draft? The top of the draft is dominated by names like Teddy Bridgewater, Jadeveon Clowney, Johnny Manziel, Tre Mason, Sammy Watkins, HaHa Clinton Dix and Blake Bortles - all underclassmen. Some would say its to the benefit of these players to stay in school and work on their craft while at the same time pursuing their degrees. However, declared underclassmen do meet the NFLs three-year eligibility rule, with some leaving school as just red-shirted sophomores. Would you prefer your team invest a draft pick on a prospect who isnt an early entry? Teams have being willing to take chances on non-seniors in the past. In the last three drafts, an average of 72 per cent of the underclassmen who declared were drafted. Last seasons draft saw a then-record 73 players forego ttheir eligibility.dddddddddddd While only 52 of them were selected, there were 15 picked in the first round. Of those first-rounders, just four started all 16 games, including Eric Reid, Justin Pugh, Deandre Hopkins, and Alex Ogletree. At every position there are as many cases where it has worked for an underclassman to declare as there are instances where it hasnt. Former Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell serves as an example of the negative in coming out early. After coming to the NFL after his junior season at LSU, he lasted only 31 games in the league, and has not played an NFL snap since 2009. On the flip side, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck also came out as a junior, and already has two playoff appearances in as many seasons. With this, would you rather your team spend a draft pick on a player who stayed in school to work on his skills in the NCAA? Or are you fine with your team taking a risk and selecting a player looking to come into the league early, perhaps still a little raw? As always, its Your! Call.
