STILLWATER, Okla. -- LeBryan Nash insisted last weeks loss to Memphis wasnt on Oklahoma States mind when it took the court against South Carolina. Whatever the ninth-ranked Cowboys were focused on worked out just fine as they dominated the Gamecocks in a 79-52 victory on Friday night. Even with preseason All-America guard Marcus Smart playing a largely supporting role, Oklahoma State (8-1) used an early 25-2 run to take control and put the game out of reach -- easing any leftover disappointment from the loss to No. 16 Memphis last week. Nash finished with 16 points to lead all five Cowboys starters in double figures, and Oklahoma State forced 24 turnovers in holding South Carolina (2-3) to a season-low 52 points, just 15 in the first half. "I thought the first half, I dont know if youll see too much better defence being played in this building and hold a team like South Carolina to 15 points," Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said. "... Our guys really came out and executed the scouting report and really locked in." The Cowboys lost 73-68 to the Tigers last week in the championship game of the Old Spice Classic. That game was the fourth within a week in Florida for the Cowboys, who played against Memphis with Smart -- who was limited to 12 points -- battling virus-like symptoms. Smart was back to his usual self on Friday night, scoring 11 of his 13 points in the first half as Oklahoma State built a 26-point lead and put the game well out of reach. The sophomore added five assists, four rebounds and two steals in a game in which the Cowboys gave him plenty of help. In addition to Nash and Smart, Oklahoma States other starters -- Markel Brown, Brian Williams and Michael Cobbins -- also finished in double figures. Brown had 11 points, while Williams and Cobbins added 10 each, with the Cowboys scoring 33 points off turnovers. "I feel like it was good for our team to bounce back after a loss and to respond," Cobbins said. "... Everybody responded in the right way." South Carolina hadnt played a game in nearly two weeks, with its last outing an 84-72 victory over Florida International on Nov. 24. Despite the time off, Gamecocks coach Frank Martin left little doubt that he thought the first-half domination was more about Oklahoma State making a point rather than any rust on South Carolinas part. "Theyre good, and they came out and did exactly what I thought they would do," Martin said. "... They came out and punched us, and our guys didnt handle that real well." The Gamecocks struggled mightily to score in the first half, trailing 39-15 at halftime after shooting 20 per cent (4 of 20) and committing 13 turnovers that led to 21 points by Oklahoma State. The Gamecocks finished 16 of 45 (35.6 per cent) from the field despite hitting 6 of 11 3-point attempts. "We had guys trying to do their own thing to get us back in the game, and we were just playing catch up the whole night, and that doesnt work when youre playing a good team," Martin said. Led by Smart, the Cowboys had no such problems -- using a 25-2 run to put the game out of reach in the opening minutes. Williams free throw made it 27-5, capping a run during which the Gamecocks went nearly 5 minutes without scoring. Smart finished the first-half scoring in style, driving the baseline for a left-handed dunk, but he was hardly the only one to get in on the fun for the Cowboys. Nash had a one-handed dunk after a spin move on the baseline, and Cobbins brought the Gallagher-Iba Arena crowd to its feet with a two-handed follow dunk -- the first of two the junior had in the game. All in all, the convincing win was the perfect welcome home for Oklahoma State following last weeks trip. "Happy with the win, happy with the way we came out and played, especially coming off a loss," Ford said. Nike Air Max 2015 Scarpe Honeycomb KPU Donna nere ...nte gialle .

Adidas Scarpe 2015 .Y. -- The Buffalo Sabres have recalled forward Kevin Porter and defenceman Chad Ruhwedel from the minors as part of a five-player roster shuffle made by the NHLs worst team.CARSON, Calif. -- Seattles Eddie Johnson and Los Angeles Juninho traded first-half goals and the Sounders and Galaxy settled for a 1-1 draw Saturday night. Johnson headed home a corner kick to give Seattle a 25th-minute lead, and Juninho scored on a 24-yard free kick in first-half stoppage time. Seattle (15-8-5), which saw its five-game winning streak halted, increased its lead in the Western Conference and Supporters Shield standings to two points. Los Angeles (13-10-6) jumped back into fourth place in the West, five points behind the Sounders. Both teams were without their U.S. national team stars. Galaxy forward Landon Donovan sprained his ankle sustained last weekend and Sounders forward Clint Dempsey strained a calf in training this week. The Galaxy were dominant after halftime, scoring a potential tiebreaking goal that was waved off and created little else that was concrete. "We just werent good enough in the final third of the field, with the final pass or our look at the goal, and it made a difference in the game," Los Angeles coach Bruce Arena said. "We obviously got the one goal called back. If that was a foul, then maybe Eddie doesnt get his goal in the first half. I thought (the officiating) was inconsistent, and in a tight game like that,, those kinds of plays and calls are what decides the outcome.dddddddddddd" Johnson scored on an open header from about 8 yards, losing Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez as he started his run at the top of the box to get to Mauro Rosales serve. Johnson nearly scored another in the 39th, but Los Angeles goalkeeper Jaime Penedo leaped to grab his open shot in the box. Juninho tallied with the final touch of the first half, bending a free kick from just above the semicircle inside the left post. Rookie Gyasi Zardes forced a leaping save from Seattle goalkeeper Michael Gspurning with a blast toward the upper-right corner in the 19th minute, and he appeared to put the Galaxy ahead following a free kick 15 minutes into the second half, after Gonzalez headed Juninhos cross into the goalmouth. Referee Silviu Petrescu whistled the Galaxy for a foul, apparently on defender Todd Dunivant, while the ball was in the air. "I think they had a little more possession than we had, for sure," Seattle coach Sigi Schmid said. "But I think that we had some very dangerous chances. ... I think we had opportunities to get our second goal, but thats the way it is. Its an end-to-end game, an exciting game for the fans, but it wasnt always the best soccer."
