David Stockton didnt take long to prove his worth for the New Zealand Breakers and coach Paul Henare expects things will only get better.American point guard Stockton was a slick, impressive performer in his first NBL game for the Breakers, playing his part in a comprehensive 100-85 win over the Illawarra Hawks.Less than a week after arriving to replace the injured Ben Woodside, Stockton showed he will be a key cog, Henare said.Hes just got a good way about him. He looks like a baller, he looks like a hooper, Henare said.David came in and showed some pace, he offered something a little bit different and shared the ball around really well.The son of former Utah Jazz NBA great John Stockton, the 25-year-old showed some of the hallmarks of his father with a team-first mentality.Stockton nevertheless finished with a team-high 17 points, with eight-from-11 shooting.Henare noted Stockton still finished with four turnovers and found himself trapped a couple of teams when double-teamed.Its a good start for him and Im sure hes going to get better. He wont be happy with the turnovers.Stockton doesnt have long to fine-tune, with the third-placed Breakers (5-4) facing the fifth-placed Hawks (4-5) again, in Wollongong on Sunday.They will again be without centre Rob Loe, who has suffered a toe injury which is expected to keep him sidelined for about two weeks.Ryan Nall Jersey .ca NHL Power Rankings for the second straight week, ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Colorado Avalanche.

I thought our guys were pretty focused which was good.The Tigers (5-2) were coming off a 60-58 victory over Nebraska in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge last Wednesday night, a game that came down to the final shot and ended close to midnight. It all added up to more than a few worries for Brownell.We talked about it, Brownell said. We had a pretty good practice (Friday), although the coach had to direct it to get to where we wanted it.There were no such issues come tip off.After Terry Harris Jr.s three-point play drew Coppin State (0-10) within 12-7, the Tigers took off on their game-breaking run. Marcquise Reed had a three-point play while Gabe DeVoe and Avry Holmes each hit 3s. By the time Blossomgame hit a short turnaround jumper, Clemson led 32-12 and were seldom pushed the rest of the way.Blossomgame had 10 points in the opening half for the Tigers (5-2), who built a 30-point lead and cruised to their third straight win and sent Coppin State to its 11th consecutive loss dating back to last season.Holmes finished with 13 points off three 3-pointers.

Thats what they did against the Eagles, putting away an overmatched opponent in a hurry. Clemson was up 30-10 just past 10 minutes in and seldom let up against Coppin State. The Tigers hit 20 of 34 shots from the field in the first half, including a 7-of-15 performance from behind the arc.ACC TITLESClemsons halftime featured the Tigers ACC championship winning football team and head coach Dabo Swinney.

The Eagles are playing 11 of their first 12 games away from campus. Theyve gone to Utah where theyve faced the Utes and Brigham Young, to Arizona for Grand Canyon and have been to South Carolina twice, facing Coastal Carolina last month.The hardest part of it all is just keeping the spirit of your team going, Brownell said of Coppin State and coach Michael Grant. There are nights where theyre rested and prepared to play well. And other nights where its just really hard on them.UP NEXTCoppin State is back on the road for the 10th time in its first 11 games when it travels to Akron on Wednesday night.Clemson continues with the fourth game in a five-game homestand when it takes on Mercer on Saturday.
