2012 » ast year from UEFA which barred Dynamo

LAS VEGAS -- No. 6 Maryland cruised to a 4-0 start by averaging 102 points and winning by an average of 49 points against inferior opponents.No. 23 Arizona State was supposed to provide the first true yardstick. Only the Terrapins press quickly turned it into another eye-popping rout.Shatori Walker-Kimbrough scored 20 points and Maryland led by as many as 32 points in the first half in an 83-42 victory over Arizona State on Friday.Its early, but I love the competitiveness, Maryland coach Brenda Frese said. It was a big test for us early to see where were at. Its a great sign.Brionna Jones added 14 points and 10 rebounds and Brianna Fraser scored 11 points for the Terrapins (5-0). They shot 55 percent from the field and used a stifling defense to race to leads of 10-0, 24-4 and 38-6 in the South Point Thanksgiving Shootout.Were growing. I dont think were at our peak at all, Walker-Kimbrough said. But you can see that were coming together.The Terrapins hit 13 of their first 17 shots while their press forced Arizona State into a 1-of-17 start from the field with nine turnovers.I love our length, our athleticism, Frese said. Were able to throw a lot of different looks. Thats something weve really been able to build upon as a team. I thought we really made them have to work for everything.Kaila Charles had 10 points and seven rebounds and freshman Destiny Slocum scored 10 points for Maryland.Relli Richardson scored 12 points on 4-of-12 shooting for the Sun Devils (2-2), They shot 28 percent from the field in their second straight loss.Early in the second quarter, Arizona State coach Charli Turner Thorne had taken more timeouts (2) than her team had field goals (1). She later picked up a technical foul in the Sun Devils most lopsided defeat since falling to Stanford 82-35 on Jan. 8, 2011.Weve obviously got really young guard play. But our front line has not really started the season strong, Turner Thorne said. Those are our veterans and those are the ones that need to carry the day for us.Senior Sophie Brunner, who was held to four points, committed six of Arizona States 20 turnovers.BIG PICTUREArizona State: The loss to Marquette a week ago doesnt look as bad after the Golden Eagles then won Tuesday at No. 22 Oregon State. But this one-sided defeat was a wakeup call for a team that starts two freshmen guards.Maryland: The Terrapins entered with a Sagarin schedule strength of 342 out of 349 Division I teams. But Arizona State proved no match either ahead of December nonconference showdowns against No. 4 Louisville and No. 2 UConn.POLL IMPLICATIONS:Arizona State: The rout could mean a Top 25 exit for a program that was a No. 2 seed in last seasons NCAA Tournament.Maryland: Voters had a tough time judging the Terrapins after playing four low-major teams. Could this dominant victory give them a chance to leapfrog No. 5 Baylor?UPSET COACHTurner Thorne spent a fourth quarter timeout yelling and stomping the floor as her players circled her in silence.I havent been in this situation for many years. You just have to get better, Turner Thorne said. When your senior gets scored on and just jogs down the floor, what does that say? Thats just not a winning mentality. Thats not what we do.UP NEXTArizona State faces St. Johns on Saturday to conclude the two-game, fixed-matchup event at the South Point Hotel, Casino and Spa.Maryland plays Washington State on Saturday to conclude its first trip to Las Vegas since the 1978-79 season.Calvin Johnson Youth Jersey .

The judges scored it 48-47, 48-47, 49-46 for Jones (19-1). It was the champions closest call.

Despite its rich history, though, Dynamo Moscow is in deep trouble.Only a few thousand fans braved freezing temperatures to watch Saturdays drab 0-0 draw against the Zenit St. Petersburg reserve team in the Russian second division. Chants echoed around the mostly-empty stadium in a pale imitation of Dynamos fierce rivalry with Zenit, traditionally a major security risk given the animosity between the fans.Until a humbling relegation this year, Dynamo had never dropped out of the Soviet or Russian top division. And for much of its 93-year history, the very idea was impossible given Dynamos powerful political protectors, such as Stalins right-hand man and secret police chief Lavrenty Beria. On the field, Dynamo was renowned for the goalkeeping skills of Yashin -- the Black Spider -- and the innovative passovotchka short-passing style of the post-war years, a prelude to modern tiki-taka.The collapse of the Soviet Union curtailed Dynamos clout, and a solitary Russian Cup title in 1995 has been the only consolation for the 11-time Soviet champions. Still, Dynamo often remained in touching distance of a title, buoyed in recent years by a flood of cash from the state-owned VTB bank.VTB is now in the process of pulling out after years of big spending and few successes, leaving behind debts estimated by Dynamo general director Evgeny Muravyev at 13 billion rubles ($200 million). For a club with small crowds and minimal TV revenue, thats a daunting sum.Muravyev told Russian agency R-Sport this month that Dynamo iss trying to pay off some debts and restructure others but new obligations are piling up related to the fact that we dont have many sources of funding at the moment.dddddddddddd Were not in a great state financially.The cash crisis is serious enough that the government has issued a declaration that it wont allow Dynamo to die.Until recently, Dynamo had been notorious for overspending in the transfer market. After Portugal reached the final of the 2004 European Championship, Dynamo swiftly signed seven Portuguese players, most of whom made little impact, as did former Germany striker Kevin Kuranyi, signed in 2010 for a reported 6 million euros ($6.4 million) a year. All that spending created vast losses, attracting a financial fair play sanction last year from UEFA which barred Dynamo from European competition.A spending plan published by the club earlier this year shows more unusual spending for a struggling club, with $93,000 earmarked in January for a mascot which has yet to appear and up to $140,000 per game budgeted for VIP travel packages.Its not clear, however, how much was spent.Still, not all is lost for Dynamo. The draw against the Zenit reserves ensured that it will go into the winter break in the promotion places. But even if Dynamo makes it back to the Russian Premier League, it will not be the same free-spending Dynamo as before, and wary of repeating the fate of another famed Moscow club, Torpedo, now toiling in the third division after repeated financial problems.Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys [url=http://www.nbajersseys[/url] Wholesale Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
