BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Dante Exum Jersey . -- When Indiana tipped off its regular season home opener, it looked like the sixth-ranked Hoosiers returned from Honolulu empty-handed.Just five days removed from defeating then-No. 3 Kansas in the Armed Forces Classic, Indiana started Wednesday nights game flat on offense, slow on defense, and for much of the first 10 minutes, played mediocre basketball. The Hoosiers looked tired, searching for the momentum that carried them past Kansas.When youre coming off a great win like we had, you think the (next) game is going to be easier, but its not, Indiana coach Tom Crean said, adding that it felt like his team hit a wall.James Blackmon Jr. got Indiana (2-0) over that wall. Blackmon Jr. made five 3-pointers, scored 23 points and grabbed seven rebounds in a 100-78 victory over UMass Lowell.The River Hawks led three times during the first 10 minutes and by as many as five points. But with 8:24 remaining, Indiana found its niche behind the savvy scoring of Blackmon, who had 20 points in the first half.Indiana outscored UMass Lowell (1-2) 32-15 during the final 8 minutes of the first half. The Hoosiers went into halftime having shot 60 percent from the field (21 of 35). Once Indiana returned true to form, resembling the same team that kicked off the season with a big win in Hawaii, the Hoosiers dominated for the remainder of the game. The Hoosiers had an assists on 23 field goals.Big men OG Anunoby and Thomas Bryant contributed to Indianas onslaught. Anunoby scored 15 points and Bryant added nine and the two combined for nine rebounds. The Hoosiers outrebounded UMass Lowell 46-24. Of the 46 rebounds, 19 were on the offensive end, leading to 15 second-chance points.Crean praised his squad for establishing physicality and speed, rather than attempting to establish their jump shots, or an offensive presence. And in doing so, it led to a defensive effort that contributed largely to the turning point of the game. Robert Johnson echoed his coachs sentiments.I think it all starts on defense, Johnson said. Once we get stops, defensive rebounds, we can get out in transition and play.Johnson scored 16 points, grabbed five rebounds and had five assists for Indiana. The Hoosiers led by as many as 29 points half way through the second half.Jahad Thomas finished with 16 points and Tyler Livingston had 14 for the River Hawks.Despite the 22-point loss, UMass Lowell coach Pat Duquette found very little to be disappointed about.I dont think we were too affected by the atmosphere. We dont play in arenas like this. We dont play in front of a crowd like this. I was happy that our guys didnt get distracted by that and stuck to the game plan, Duquette said. For us to score 78 points against a really talented Indiana team on their home court, thats a great sign. I think they are a legitimate top five team.BIG PICTURE: Indiana will have three more games to build on the big win over Kansas. The Hoosiers next three games are against mid-majors before they host North Carolina on Nov. 30. The Hoosiers other notable non-conference game comes on Dec. 17 when they face Butler at Bankers Life Fieldhouse before kicking off Big Ten Conference play against Nebraska on Dec. 28. Indianas final non-conference game is a showdown with No. 12 Louisville at Bankers Life on New Years Eve.CENTURY CLUB: With Indianas 103-99 win over Kansas and its 100-78 beat down of UMass Lowell, the Hoosiers scored 100 points in consecutive games for the first time since 2005. Wednesdays game marked the first time Indiana opened the season with back-to-back games with at least 100 points since 1992-93.TURNING POINTS: With 8:24 to play in the first half, Indiana opened a 14-2 run that would give the Hoosiers a comfortable halftime lead. And with 17 minutes left in the second half, the Hoosiers ignited an 18-2 run that ultimately put the game out of reach.UP NEXT:UMass Lowell travels to IPFW on Saturday.Indiana hosts Liberty on Saturday.

At long last, Australian football finally has its biggest star on its home patch.Tim Cahill has come home.The Socceroos all-time leading scorer signed a two-year deal with Melbourne City on Thursday, ending weeks of speculation and years of hopes for an A-League stint.The deal, partially funded in the first year by a new FFA guest player fund, also includes a third year for Cahill to become a coach.It paves the way for Cahill to retire at the 2018 World Cup after two campaigns with City, with FFA hoping it can help secure the league an increased broadcast deal on the way.Cahill, speaking from New York ahead of linking with City next week, said he was excited to get started.There is real ambition and purpose here, qualities that are immensely important to me, he said.I am here to contribute as much as I can to both the club and, where possible, to the further development of football here in Australia.My immediate focus is on getting to know my teammates and our pre-season preparations.Im excited about the quality of the squad that I am joining and the opportunity to win silverware.The transfer is a huge fillip to the league ahead of its 12th season, one in which the all-important broadcast rights will be re-negotiated.FFA chief executive David Gallop said the signing was a huge addition for the club and league.Were really pleased that Melbourne City has taken the opportunity of the new regulations and the marquee fund to bring Tim home, he said.Tims arrival is the biggest transfer move in the A-Leagues history because no player is more popular or has had a bigger impact on the modern game in Australia than Tim Cahill.While Cahills incredible cut-through appeal will grow attendances and viewers for the league, itt remains to be seen whether he can win a first title in 20 seasons as a professional. Karl Malone Jersey. Cahill started his career in England, with Millwall and English Premier League force Everton.He defied calls to come home in 2012, joining New York Red Bulls before recent stints with Chinese Super League clubs Shanghai Shenhua and Hangzhou Greentown.Cahill will now play his club football for the first time on home soil, under Dutch coach John van t Schip.After a semi-final finish last year, van t Schip will hope to mould last years golden boot winner Bruno Fornaroli and Cahill into a title-winning strike duo.He is without doubt one of the most loved sports stars in this country, and I think the fact that he is back in his home country is important to the fans, and is fantastic for us as a club, he said.I see in Cahill and Bruno Fornaroli a beautiful footballing partnership.TIM CAHILL CAREER SNAPSHOTAge: 36Position: Striker/midfielderFormer Clubs:* Milwall (1998-2004), 217 games, 52 goals.* Everton (2004-2012), 226 games, 56 goals* New York Red Bulls (2012-2015), 62 games, 14 goals* Shanghai Shenhua (2015-2016), 28 games, 11 goals* Hangzhou Greentown (2016) 17 games, 4 goals.International careerSocceroos matches: 91, goals 47Career achievements:* Premier League debut: Everton vs Manchester United, 2004* Australia debut: vs South Africa, 2004* Scored Australias first goal in World Cup finals (2006 vs Japan)* 2006, 2010 and 2014 World Cup, scoring five goals.* Australias leading all-time goal scorer* Asian Cup winner, 2015* Nominated for Ballon DOr (2006)* Nominated for Puskas Award (2014) Cheap Hoodies From China Discount NFL Shirts Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale China Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Fast Shipping China Jerseys Stitched Jerseys ' ' '
