The Original Game » Top 25, its first time being ranked since 1998-99

After Farhad Reza had scored the winning runs that put Rajshahi Kings in the BPLs second qualifier, everyone waited for their celebration. Ivan Rakitic Jersey . Would they pretend to take a group selfie or pose for the imaginary group photo?Darren Sammy, whose unbeaten 55 off 27 brought them back from the brink of elimination, motioned to the rest of the Rajshahi players - who had joyously ran into the middle from the dugout - to take his photos as he posed like a bodybuilder. Farhad couldnt contain his laughter standing next to Sammy, like the rest of the stadium.Sammy doesnt exactly claim ownership of the Shere Bangla National Stadium like Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal or Mashrafe Mortaza but ever since he hit a 13-ball 34 against Australia two years ago, he has had a special connection with Mirpur.Every time I play at the stadium, thats the first game I remember, Sammy said. Even when we played against Khulna the other day, it flashed back in my mind. I am enjoying my cricket right now. Wherever I go I try to give my best.Sammy said it was James Franklins quick pep-talk, when he was dismissed in the 11th over, that spurred him to take the Chittagong attack on.I am a big admirer of Dhoni. If you bat out and take the game as close as possible, you give yourself a better chance of winning. But today after Franklin got out, he told me to free up myself and enjoy. Go for it, he said. It probably changed my mindset to a positive one and I just took the attack back to them, Sammy said.Sammy praised Kesrick Williams, Mehedi Hasan and Farhad Reza for their contributions to the win. It was good to respond by putting the pressure back on them. Myself, [Mehedi Hasan] Miraz and Farhad brought it home which was what the team required. Its good to see young guys like Kesrick coming through. It was a tough situation to leave Sami out but it was good to see the way the young man responded, he said.Sammy however wasnt happy with his sides batting which has repeatedly collapsed through the season. I believe we havent played our best game. We keep on collapsing at the top, yet we are one game away from the finals. I keep on stressing the need for improvement and for responsible batting. Whoever we play tomorrow, hopefully we can execute with our bat better, he said.And what about the pretend selfies? Sammy said they hoped to bring their off-field activities into their on-field celebrations, which he felt brought the team together.We just like to take photos. You check all the guys Instagram pages, they are always posting photos, so why not bring it into the cricket? When you play well it brings out the celebration, Sammy said. You continue to play as a team. You gel well. When you gel well like that you create an environment that will breed success. We had that team spirit. We did well to restrict them and considering we were under the pump, just imagine how it feels like when you take the final selfies. Marc-Andre Ter Stegen Jersey . -- Linebacker Myles Jack ran for four touchdowns, defensive end Cassius Marsh caught a scoring pass, and No. Cheap Barcelona Jersey . LeBron James and Chris Bosh didnt need any more. Williams scored 11 points in 10 minutes, Alan Anderson scored 17 points, and the Brooklyn Nets finished the exhibition season with a 108-87 win over the Miami Heat on Friday night. http://www.fcbarcelonapro.com/Customized/ . Fernandez, coached in Toronto by former two-time Olympic silver medallist Brian Orser, scored 267.11 points and is the first champion to successfully defend since Russias Evgeny Plushenko in 2005 and 2006. Duke had three of its highly touted freshman go down with injuries, yet still managed to win four games and take another Top 10 team to overtime.The question now is, will that loss knock the Blue Devils from the top spot in Mondays AP Top 25?The case for No. 1: Duke (4-1) beat No. 21 Rhode Island by 10, rolled over three other opponents and lost by two to No. 7 Kansas in overtime. The Blue Devils did it with freshmen Harry Giles, Jayson Tatum and Marques Bolden all out with injuries, so imagine what they can do when everyone is healthy.The case against No. 1: No. 3 Kentucky (3-0) and No. 3 Villanova (4-0) are still undefeated and both have wins over Top 25 teams. The Wildcats survived a grinding game against No. 13 Michigan State to win by 21 and the defending champion Wildcats held off No. 15 Purdue by three behind preseason All-American Josh Harts array of big shots. Either team could be a legitimate choice for No. 1 and the Blue Devils had another injury against Penn State last week when junior Chase Jeter sprained his right ankle, leaving them even more vulnerable.When were healthy were going to have a lot of good players, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. Right now, we have a lot fewer.It will be up to the poll voters to decide whether Dukes injuries should be a factor in deciding a No. 1 team or if, after a week and a half, its already time for someone else to get a turn.Tune in Monday.---DILLONS DUCKSPut No. 4 Oregon in the same category as the Blue Devils.The Ducks moved up a spot from the preseason poll, but lost 66-49 to unranked Baylor after struggling in the second half.The caveat is that preseason All-American Dillon Brooks has yet to play this season.The do-it-all guard is still recovering from offseason foot surgery and left the Ducks with a big early-season hole in their lineup. Oregon coach Dana Altman said Brooks could play some at the Maui Invitational this week.Oregon will fall at least a few spots in the upcoming poll, but its tough to say are far.---HIGHLIGHT REELThe first two weeks of the season have been filled with some fantastic dunks already.This one by Villanovass Jalen Brunson against Wake Forest has to be up there among the best. Luis Suarez Jersey. ---MASON RISESA big theme heading into the season was the stellar class of freshmen across the country.A senior from the Midwest is making a lot waves and put himself in the early conversation for national player of the year.Kansas guard Frank Mason III has been superb through the seasons first two weeks, averaging 23 points, 5.7 assists and 4.7 rebounds. He scored 30 points against Indiana, including the final 11, then hit the game-winning shot with 1.8 seconds left in overtime against Duke to cap a 21-point night.I think the NBA is missing the boat on him, Kansas coach Bill Self said. I think he doesnt fit the eye test with length and standing height and that kind of stuff, but hes got some things you cant teach, and intangibles that are as good as anybody in American probably possesses.---FRESHMAN WATCHLonzo Ball, UCLA. The predictions for Balls impact seemed to be a bit exaggerated when he arrived in Westwood with so much hype.Its only been three games, but maybe there wasnt enough hype.The 6-foot-6 guard from nearby Chino Hills had a superb college debut, finishing with 19 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds in a blowout win over Pacific.Ball is averaging close to a triple-double so far, with 15 points, 8.3 assists and 7.7 rebounds per game. Keep that up and hell be in the national POY conversation as well.---RHODY RISESRhode Island was No. 23 in the AP preseason Top 25, its first time being ranked since 1998-99.The Rams may end up staying there all season.With four starters and E.C. Matthews back from a torn ACL, Rhode Island had preseason expectations of making a run at the Atlantic 10 title.The 21st-ranked Rams (4-1) opened the season with three straight wins, followed with a victory over No. 24 victory over Cincinnati and made a late run at top-ranked Duke before losing on Sunday.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Disocunt Football Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys China China NFL Jerseys White Cheap Authentic Jerseys Youth NFL Jerseys Wholesale Camo China NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Discount Jerseys China NFL Hoodies Cheap NFL Jerseys Camo Cheap NFL Jerseys Outlet Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Stitched Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys 2019 Youth NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
