Charlottesville, VA (SportsNetwork.com) - The sixth-ranked Virginia Cavaliers continue a three-game homestand to close out the 2014 calendar year, as they play host to the Harvard Crimson on Sunday afternoon at John Paul Jones Arena. Tony Bennetts Cavaliers have picked up right where they left off last season, as they made an improbable to both the ACC regular-season and tournament titles. This years squad looks just as strong, as the team has reeled off 10 straight victories, including a 70-54 win over Cleveland State to open this current homestand. The Cavs are now seeking their first 11-0 start to a season since the 1992-93 campaign. Tommy Amakers Crimson started the year in the Top-25, but an inexplicable loss to Holy Cross in game No. 2 quickly showed them the exit from the polls. Harvard is inching closer and closer to regaining its early season status, having won six straight games since, moving to 7-1 on the year with a 70-56 win over Boston University on Dec. 8. The Crimson have been idle since that contest. This marks the first-ever meeting between these two teams on the hardwood. The Crimson are like the Cavaliers in that it is defense that fuels the teams success. Harvard currently ranks a solid 19th nationally in scoring defense (56.1 ppg), while holding foes to just .374 shooting. Offensively, the team has five players averaging 8.5 ppg or better, but that depth is a little deceiving, as only 2013-14 Ivy League Player of the Year Wesley Saunders is in double digits. He is the top scorer in the Ancient Eight and ranks in the top-20 nationally at an impressive 20.1 ppg. A do-it-all type of player, Saunders also makes his presence felt in rebounding (7.1 rpg), assists (4.5 apg) and steals (2.8 spg). Steve Moundou-Missi is a distant second in the scoring column at 9.0 ppg, with three players tied for third (8.5 ppg). It was once again the Saunders show last time out, as the senior star led the team in scoring, rebounding and assists against Boston University. Saunders finished the day with 15 points, seven boards and a season-high eight assists. Corbin Miller chipped in with 13 points, while Siyani Chambers tacked on another 10. If Harvard plays really good defense, than Virginias can only be described as great. The Cavaliers, known for their defensive grit under Bennett, are at it again this season, ranking second nationally in scoring defense (48.1 ppg) and third in field-goal percentage defense (.325). The team is also in the top five in the country in rebounding margin (+13.6). Three of the teams five starters are averaging double figures, providing scoring depth for the Cavs. Justin Anderson headlines the trio with 15.8 ppg. He is followed by Anthony Gill and Malcolm Brogdon, who net 13.0 and 12.9 ppg, respectively. The Cavaliers once again displayed suffocating defense last time out against Cleveland State, holding the Vikings to a mere 18 first-half points and taking a 13-point lead into the break. Virginia forced only seven turnovers in the game, but outscored CSU 21-7 at the free-throw line. It was the big three once again that led Virginia offensively. Anderson and Brogdon finished with 16 points apiece, while Gill added 13, while grabbing a team-best eight rebounds. Fake Vans 2020 . "I honestly dont know," he said. Try this: 20 points, nine assists and seven rebounds by Rajon Rondo, a 62-37 rebounding advantage by the Celtics and a horrible 4-for-30 shooting performance on 3-pointers by the Nets.

The league announced Thursday that Tom Higgins is leaving that post effective immediately.Richard Kaufman celebrates a breakthrough win for Li Hao Tong which he believes will go a long way towards helping Chinese golfers make their mark on the world stage. China is a bit of a paradox when it comes to golf, but the last two weeks suggest the future is bright. A country that has come late to the game because of political ideology, there has been a hesitancy to really embrace golf because of its perceived image as a sport for the rich. Li showed plenty of bravado in his national open Until recently, the Communist Party had banned its members from joining golf clubs and playing the game, while courses that were built over the last decade were reclaimed. Thankfully, it seems there has been a U-turn and the ban has been lifted. I say thankfully because, whether you like it or not, the worlds largest population is an important region for the growth of the game and, while the number of participants may yet reach large proportions of society and Chinese players have not yet made a mark on the game en masse, that will change in time. Lis win can inspire a new generation of Chinese golfers There have been Chinese winners that have come to the fore previously, of course. Zhang Lian Wei was the first to make an international awareness, and Shanshan Feng is a major champion in the womens game. But until Sunday afternoon, there hadnt been a young male star in the making, and Li Hao Tong will not be the last.His victory showed, not for the first time in his young career, a player who is exciting and bold. We had seen it already in the events in China last year when he lost out in a play-off in the Shenzhen International and became the first Chinese player to finish in the top 10 of a WGC event at the HSBC Champions. Highlights of day four from the Volvo China Open in Beijing His play at the weekend was a fine example of attacking expertise.ddddddddddddHe dared to drive the par-four seventh, and he had a pop at the other short par-fours on the course too. He birdied the hardest hole on the course, the 71st hole of the championship, with a stunning approach. And all of this under the pressure of playing in his national open.Li is just 20-years-old and he is determined to make it on to the PGA Tour, but I hope this win entices him to step on the fairways at Wentworth and elsewhere around Europe. It would be huge for the European Tour and good for his game. Why carry on playing on the Web.com Tour when he can play higher-quality events with top-class fields? Shanshan Feng is a major champion in the womens game Ultimately, this is his prerogative. His win will be an inspiration to the generation that are coming through just behind, and there are plenty of emerging talents. Darren Clarke played with a 17-year-old at the Thailand Golf Championships at the end of 2015, and the Ryder Cup captain said Jin Cheng was the best player he has seen at that age since Rory McIlroy.This week, Im off to the continent of Africa. Morocco is not only the next destination for the European Tour but also for the Ladies European Tour, and youll be able to watch both the Trophee Hasson II and the Lalla Meryem Cup this weekend on Sky Sports. Gwladys Nocera and Richie Ramsay were the victors in Morocco last year Ill be with the ladies with both events coming from different courses at the same venue. In an Olympic year, with the same happening in Rio, I think its a great idea. As I mentioned last week, Id love to see an Olympic format that mixes the teams with the best males playing with the best females in competition. But having events running concurrently is a positive way of embracing the ladies games. It happens in tennis, so why not in golf? We saw the male and female US Opens being played at Pinehurst in successive weeks in 2014, and there is a new collaboration between the LPGA and PGA Tours. So this week in Morocco may not be a one-off. Also See: Li storms to China title Shin wins in Texas Golf live on Sky Sports 4 European Tour Schedule ' ' '
