CHARLESTON, S.
Salomon Shoes Outlet Free Shipping .C. --
Western Michigan coach Steve Hawkins watched his team slice a double-digit lead
to three points against defending national champion Villanova. Then the
third-ranked Wildcats showed once more theyre built to handle tough games.They
did what they do, Hawkins said.Villanova used a 13-4 run down the stretch for a
76-65 win over the Broncos (1-2) on Thursday to start the Charleston Classic.
Western Michigan had cut a 14-point second-half lead to 59-56 to draw within
striking distances of the Wildcats.Thats when Eric Paschall, Kris Jenkins and
Josh Hart all hit 3-pointers to keep Villanova undefeated and off to its fourth
straight 3-0 start.Paschall finished with 17 points, and Jalen Brunson and Hart
had 14 each. Jenkins, whos shot at the end gave the Wildcats their national
title last April, had 11.It was a good, tough game, Wildcats coach Jay Wright
said. It wasnt pretty, though and weve still got to get a lot better.Villanova
improved to 12-0 in early season tournaments over the years. The Wildcats are
chasing their third consecutive crown after winning the Legends Classic in 2014
and NIT season tipoff last year.Jalen Brunson said the Wildcats, who toughed out
a 79-76 win at No. 15 Purdue on Monday night, didnt panic at Western Michigans
charge. Weve got veterans and its a situation weve seen before, he said.The
Wildcats will face Wake Forest, a 103-81 winner over UTEP, on Friday for a spot
in Sundays championship.The Broncos (1-2) fell to 0-4 at the eight-team
Charleston tournament. They lost all three games when they last visited in the
2008-09 season. Thomas Wilder led Western Michigan with 19 points.BIG
PICTUREWestern Michigan lost its second straight after falling to Oakland on
Monday. The Broncos forced too many long shots, finishing 3 of 15 from behind
the arc. They were much more effective driving deep into Villanovas defense.
Wilders five baskets came from around the rim.Villanova came off a 79-76 win at
No. 15 Purdue, and its sluggish performance made this much closer than it should
have been. Jenkins picked up two early fouls and played only 21 minutes in his
return to South Carolina, having spent part of his childhood in
Columbia.DEFENSIVE IMPROVEMENTWright said his team must pick up its defensive
pressure if it hopes to succeed this year. The Wildcats lost two big defenders
in forward Daniel Ochefu and guard Ryan Arcidiacono. Wright said Arcidiacono
called out defensive changes, a job thats fallen to Brunson this season. We have
the ability, Brunson said. We just have to get better.WESTERN SWAGHawkins said
his team will consider its strong showing against Villanova whenever theyre
facing adversity this season. He said the players came here to win, but also
understand they made improvements that will help them later. Its something well
have in our holster, he said.STANDING STRONGPaschall, Villanovas 6-foot-7
sophomore, is guarding taller players this season because of the Wildcats lack
of size in their rotation. Of the eight players with 15 or more minutes, only
6-9 senior Darryl Reynolds was taller than Paschall. The sophomore says it is a
difficult challenge that hes becoming more accustomed to each time out. Ive just
got to keep my mind clear and concentrate on what I have to do, he said.UP

Czech pairs impressive cup doubles record to 14-1.F1 drivers are under pressure
to perform every time they get behind the wheel of their cars but some are
undoubtedly more in need of a strong result than others at this weekend’s
Spanish GP. Amid the backdrop of Max Verstappen and Daniil Kvyat trading Red
Bull places, and Nico Rosberg leaving Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel
trailing in the world title battle, we asked some of the Sky Sports F1 team to
pick the drivers who they feel are under the most pressure at Barcelona… TED
KRAVITZHalf the grid is under severe pressure. From Daniil Kvyat, to show that
Red Bull were wrong to drop him. From Jolyon Palmer, to see off the pressure
from Esteban Ocon. From Lewis Hamilton, to get his championship going again. And
to Sebastian Vettel because Sergio Marchionne, the Ferrari president, says he
expects a win here.When is the Spanish GP and how can you watch it on Sky
SportsBut the biggest pressure has to be on Max Verstappen. Red Bull have caused
the disruption by changing their driver line-up and now they need the
justification - and its up to Verstappen to deliver on that. Its his first
weekend with a new team and new engineers, so I would say that is the biggest
pressure of the weekend right there on his young shoulders. DAVID CROFTThere are
22 drivers under pressure this weekend.You cant say one is under more pressure,
really, because of the environment of F1: everybody has to beat their team-mate,
to produce the goods, and justify why theyre in that seat.At Renault, Jolyon
Palmer is under pressure to have a really good race on a track he knows well.
Kevin Magnussen knows it equally as well and can make life diffficult for
Jolyon.

good result to boost his confidence and to put it into the back of Helmut Markos
mind he could still be the man for the top team. Max Verstappen has also got to
deliver now he has been promoted, while Daniel Ricciardo has got a third
different team-mate at the senior team so hell be under pressure too to prove he
is still the numero uno there.Spanish GP talking points Then theres Lewis
Hamilton, who is under pressure because he needs a good result. But hes not
driving badly, so hell continue doing what hes been doing.So the man under the
most pressure is Nico Rosberg because hes the guy who is leading the
championship. He is the hunted, everybody else are the hunters. Hes got a
43-point lead to defend at a race track where hell be confident of a successful
weekend.The guy under the most pressure is always the one whos leading the
championship - but dont discount the individual pressures that are on the other
21 drivers as well. SIMON LAZENBYIts Daniil Kvyat who is under the most
pressure.Altruism and Formula 1 dont often go hand in hand and my impression, in
this cut-throat world, is that Max Verstappen wouldnt have lost much sleep over
whats gone on - but Kvyat is probably not particularly well rested.Whats
different on the cars in BarcelonaHes certainly under pressure now. Hes probably
been lying awake at night thinking about his future because hes been put in a
very difficult position.Watch the Spanish GP live on Sky Sports F1. The race
