No. 13 Michigan State | No. 15 NC State | Full ListNo. 14: INDIANA HOOSIERSLast season: 27-8, 15-3 Big TenThe Yogi Ferrell era is over, and now itll be up to Tom Crean to find a point guard situation that works in Bloomington. The Hoosiers have plenty of offense still with James Blackmon Jr. and Robert Johnson on the perimeter and Thomas Bryant in the post. OG Anunoby could have a breakout season and gives IU that defensive toughness.?-- Jeff GoodmanBest case:?Tom Crean has taken a program in crisis to a program that can be expected to contend. Indiana lost a program pillar in Yogi Ferrell, and that leadership and steady presence is difficult to duplicate. But Indiana has talent and the Hoosiers are very well coached. They were left for dead last season and declared the worst defensive team in Indiana history. But the Hoosiers kept plugging, limited turnovers (which automatically improved the defense) and won the Big Ten for the second time in five years. This season, James Blackmon is back to add scoring, OG Anunoby is among the nations best defenders and Thomas Bryant should be among the nations very best big men.Worst case:?First-weekend casualty. Without a natural point guard to replace Ferrell, Crean will be relying upon Robert Johnson and Josh Newkirk to take over. While that wont be the same, Indiana will still be good. This is a tournament team, but the worst case is an early exit. Just dont expect the worst case. Indiana has proved to be much tougher than that.No. 15 NC State | Full ListSwell Flasche Bestellen .

It just doesnt work for me very well, explained Wainwright, who has 18 RBI this season. If its a pitch in the strike zone, Im going to swing at it.The free-swinging Wainwright lined a two-run double in the second inning and brought in two more with a bloop single in the fifth. Matt Adams and Jedd Gyorko homered for the Cardinals, now even with the Mets and Giants in the race for the final two NL playoff spots.The 35-year-old Wainwright (12-9) didnt have his sharpest command, yielding solo homers to Daniel Descalso, Charlie Blackmon and Gerardo Parra. But the right-hander was sharp enough -- especially his curveball -- as he gave up four runs in 5 1/3 innings.In a park like this, in a place where no lead is safe, a pitcher, if you can go out there and push something across ... youre doing your job, Wainwright explained.Jorge De La Rosa (8-9) struggled through what could be his final start in a Rockies uniform. The winningest pitcher in team history allowed eight runs -- seven earned -- in 4 2/3 innings.

Carlos Martinez had a two-run double in a 5-3 win on Monday.These days, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny just cant help but scoreboard-watch. Its hard to miss, since the scores are posted on the right-field fence and he stares at it from the dugout.And yes, he saw it when the Mets game went final.ddddddddddddJust keep playing our game, Matheny said. Not get caught up.Adams had a solo homer in the second and Gyorko added a two-run shot in the fourth -- a 452-foot no-doubter to center.
