ADELAIDE 36ers 83, CAIRNS TAIPANS 67The Adelaide 36ers have made short work of the winless Cairns Taipans with a comprehensive 83-67 NBL triumph at Titanium Security Arena on Friday night.Jerome Randle scored 23 points and had eight assists, but the story of the night was the Taipans haphazard outside shooting.The visitors hit only 13 of 42 from long range, including just one from 12 in the opening term, resulting in them trailing 29-16 at quarter-time.Cairns continued to live and die - mainly die - from the perimeter thereafter.Of the Taipans 35 first-half shots, 23 were from long range, but they were unable to make any inroads with the 36ers still ahead by 14 points at the main break.Adelaide moved ahead by 20 points early in the third quarter before four unanswered Cairns triples inside 90 seconds suddenly slashed the margin to eight points.Down by 12 points at three-quarter-time, the Taipans long-range barrage continued in the final period, but it was too late to make a difference.We just shot way too many threes, Taipans coach Aaron Fearne said.We had 66 shots and 42 were threes. Youre going to die on that unless we come out and shoot the juice off of it, but we didnt.Adelaide coach Joey Wright said: Theyre capable of hitting those - thats why they were shooting them. As long as theyre missing them, were happy.After our last two games I think were on the right track. If we get out and defend like we have over the last couple of games, Im happy.There was also drama before the tip-off on Friday night, with the stadium evacuated for a short time.The 36ers did not comment on the reason for the evacuation, but said in a statement that patrons were allowed back in the stadium on advice from venue security and SA Police.ADELAIDE 36ers (Randle 23, Sobey 15, Johnson 13) 83?def?CAIRNS TAIPANS (Gliddon 14, Worthington 11, Loughton 11) 67.?VENUE Titanium Security Arena Cheap Bob Feller Jersey .

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The Game has lost its luster in recent years.Ohio State has dominated Michigan, winning four straight and 11 of 12 to diminish intrigue in one of the greatest rivalries in sports.The third-ranked Wolverines (10-1, 7-1 Big Ten) have a chance to change the conversation Saturday against the second-ranked Buckeyes (10-1, 7-1) in the Horseshoe, where they havent won since 2000.This rivalry is going to be relevant, Michigan tight end Jake Butt, who is from Pickerington, Ohio, said Monday. It never wont be relevant.Even if Michigan loses, dropping 12 of the last 13 meetings in the series?Were not thinking about losing, Butt said. Its a must-win game . We understand that. We have to win this.That wont be easy.Ohio State is favored by about a touchdown perhaps in part because the Wolverines may be without standout quarterback Wilton Speight, who missed Saturdays 20-10 win over Indiana with an injured left shoulder.To my eye, he has looked better every day, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said.Speights backup, John OKorn , struggled to sustain the success the offense was having against the Hoosiers. OKorn was 7 of 16 yards for just 59 yards, the fewest yards passing for Michigan since John Navarre threw for 58 in a win over Wisconsin on Nov. 17, 2001. OKorn transferred to Michigan last year after starting 16 games at Houston over his freshman and sophomore seasons.If OKorn is pressed into playing again and cant make the Buckeyes respect the pass, it is difficult to envision the Wolverines being able to move the ball well enough only on the ground to earn a win.Michigan leads the all-time series 58-48-6, but is mired in the worst slump in a storied series that dates to 1897.Harbaugh has been hailed for coming back to the school where he wass a star quarterback and guaranteed a win over the rival Buckeyes in 1986, backing it up with a win.dddddddddddd But he and his proud program must upset Ohio State to show significant signs of progress this season. In his debut as a coach in the rivalry, Ohio State routed Michigan 42-13 last season at the Big House.At his weekly news conference ahead of the highly anticipated game, Harbaugh wasnt in the mood to make predictions or discuss the showdown in detail.Its a great opportunity and tremendous challenge, he said in one of his many brief answers.Michigan, college footballs winningest program, has an opportunity to move a big step toward ending its longest championship drought since going without one from 1950 to 1964. Beat the Buckeyes and the discussion can continue this season.Its very important, cornerback Jourdan Lewis said. I dont know how many wins we got this decade. It would be very important, especially for our season. This determines whos going to go to the Big Ten championship game. Its a big stake.With a win, the Wolverines would in fact earn a spot in the Big Ten title game and be another victory away from its first conference championship since 2004. With two more wins, they would be in the College Football Playoff with a shot to earn its first national championship since 1997.A loss to the Buckeyes, though, would lead to more questions about whether signature wins and coveted championships will ever catch up to the hype Harbaugh has brought to Ann Arbor.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Larry Lage on Twitter at www.twitter.com/larryla
