MADISON, Wis. Adidas NMD España . -- Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst liked what he heard from the stream of players who filed into his office over the weekend to discuss the teams upset win over No. 5 LSU.The Badgers arent satisfied.They see we can be a lot better, Chryst recounted Monday.No signs of a letdown following the emotional 16-14 victory over the Tigers. After a ballyhooed opener at Lambeau Field against an SEC power, Wisconsin hosts Akron this Saturday in its home opener at Camp Randall Stadium.Didnt need to prod the guys, didnt need to tell them what to think, Chryst said.The enthusiasm from the victory was also a little tempered on Monday after the team announced that starting inside linebacker Chris Orr would miss the rest of the season with a right ACL injury. The sophomore was injured on the Badgers first defensive play against LSU.Orr showed promise as a freshman after making seven starts and playing in 11 games. Now, depth is becoming an issue at inside linebacker with T.J. Edwards also likely out at least another couple weeks with a left foot injury.Sophomore Ryan Connelly will take over for Orr alongside fellow inside linebacker Jack Cichy. Connelly had seven tackles after replacing Orr against LSU.Nothings guaranteed. You saw that with Chris Orr. He spent a ton of time (working) and now hell be done for the season Chryst said. You want kids to be able to enjoy each and every opportunity they get.Orr has relayed a similar message to his teammates.Chris would never want us to lose a step because hes out, Cichy said. Hes going to be in our ears.The defense is off to a strong start after allowing just a touchdown to LSU, and that was only after Wisconsin receiver George Rushing fumbled in his own territory. LSUs other score on Saturday came on defense, after a poor throw by quarterback Bart Houston was intercepted and returned for a touchdown.Allowing 138 yards on 23 carries to LSU running back Leonard Fournette isnt that bad considering that hes a Heisman Trophy candidate. The Badgers kept him out of the end zone and finished strong after safety DCota Dixon picked off LSUs Brandon Harris with 57 seconds left to seal the victory.The offense is the area that the Badgers could use the most improvement. The running game grinded out yards with the tailback tandem of Corey Clement and Dare Ogunbowale, and the young line more than held its own against LSUs athletic defense. Tight end Troy Fumagalli had a breakout game with seven catches for 100 yards.But the Badgers had trouble in the red zone, including another Houston interception that was picked off in the end zone.Making his first collegiate start, Houston finished 19 of 31 for 205 yards. He did show toughness on scrambles, including two runs that he finished off by plowing head-first into tacklers.Wisconsin doesnt run a system for running quarterbacks, though.Houston said he planned to concentrate on situational awareness and ball security ahead of the Akron game.When I was in the pocket trying to run, I was kind of carrying (the ball) around like a loaf of bread, said Houston, a triple-option quarterback in high school. But that was a while ago for the fifth-year senior.NOTE: LSU announced on Monday the school had suspended OL Josh Boutte for one game for leveling Dixon with a big hit after the safetys game-clinching interception . Coach Les Miles said that Boutte hit Dixon by mistake, and that he called Dixon to apologize. When asked for his reaction, Chryst said that he was proud of the way his players responded after the play. Words were exchanged between players, but the Badgers mainly attended to Dixon.---Online: AP College Football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org/---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP Adidas NMD Baratas . With the first unit struggling of late and Amir Johnson - one of the teams iron men - hobbling on an injured right ankle, Patterson knew he could get the nod in a challenging matchup against one of the leagues up and coming players at his position.

"I wrote 36 on my sheet at the beginning of the game," the Cincinnati coach said, referring the yard line the ball would need to be snapped from. http://www.baratasnmd.com/adidas-nmd-r2-baratas.html .

Zach Smith and Niem Stevenson added 13 points apiece.Im not forcing it as much anymore, Evans said. Just letting the game come to me. Just letting it work through the offense.The Colonels (5-6) were led by 18 points and five rebounds from Jahvaughn Powell.Texas Techs (9-1) first half was punctuated by consecutive putback dunks from Gray and Smith. After Smiths dunk, which put Texas Tech up 33-15 with 6:22 left in the first half, the Colonels immediately took a timeout. Gray -- who recently returned to the team after attending his grandfathers funeral -- added another explosive putback dunk less than two minutes later, helping build the Red Raiders 45-23 halftime lead.I feel like we fed off it pretty good, Gray said of the dunks. Got the crowd into it. Especially during the timeout right after the first one. Everybody was kind of hyped up and it just made our overall environment in the arena crazy.Nicholls State shot 34 percent from the floor and lost the points off turnover margin 33-13 despite have just six more giveaways.The Red Raiders, which outscored Nicholls State in the paint 34-6, committed six fouls. The Colonels attempted six free throws while Texas Tech attempted 25.In our league, we cant let people get in the bonus early in the halves, Texas Tech coach Chris Beard said. Not fouling is a big emphasis. We try to emphasize it in practice. We try to coach it well. I think we do.BIG PICTURENichholls State: The first game in Richie Rileys tenure as head coach of the Colonels was a 79-73 win at Atlantic Coast Conference-member Boston College in November but they have won consecutive games only once this season. Adidas NMD R1 Mujer Baratas. Texas Tech: Smith was back in the starting lineup Wednesday. Smith, who averaged 11 points and seven rebounds, injured his ankle before the Dec. 7 game against Texas-San Antonio and was held out. Smiths presence aided the Red Raiders frontcourt, which saw recently-recovered Aaron Ross play sparingly and is still missing Norense Odiase because of an injury.TORRID 12Big 12 mens basketball teams have started the season with a combined 75-17 record.
