Newark, NJ (SportsNetwork.com) - The 15th-ranked St. Johns Red Storm and the Seton Hall Pirates begin Big East play on Wednesday evening, as the two teams square off at the Prudential Center. St. Johns continued its best start to a season since the 1985-86 campaign with an 82-57 rout of Tulane on Sunday. The victory was the seventh straight for Steve Lavins Red Storm and their 11th in the first 12 games of the season. The win streak marks the teams longest since the 1999-2000 season. Kevin Willards Pirates are also off to a fast start, as they enter league play with a 10-2 record. Seton Hall has won three of its last four games, and also comes in off a lopsided win, making light work of Maine on Saturday, 72-43. These two teams are meeting for the 92nd time in the series history. They have met every season since 1963-64. St. Johns holds a 57-34 advantage all-time. The Red Storm rolled over the Green Wave at the Barclays Center on Sunday, thanks in large part to SirDominic Pointers big outing. The senior swingman erupted for a career-high 24 points, on 9-of-13 shooting. Senior guard DAngelo Harrison was instrumental in the win as well, pouring in 21 points for St. Johns, which shot .508 from the field overall. St. Johns definitely has some offensive depth, but it is the teams defensive effort that has really fueled the strong start. The Red Storm are limiting foes to a mere 58.2 ppg this year, holding them well under 40 percent shooting (.364). It certainly helps to have a player like center Chris Obekpa (7.4 ppg, 8.8 rpg) in the middle. The junior big man is the DI active leader in career blocks (3.53 per game). Offensively, four players are averaging double figures providing more than enough scoring depth. Harrison is one of the top scoring threats in the Big East, averaging 19.0 ppg. Rysheed Jordan is next in the scoring column for St. Johns at 14.3 ppg, while Pointer (11.5 ppg) and Phil Greene IV (11.2 ppg) make sizable contributions as well. Seton Hall has followed a similar blueprint to its season. Defense has been a strength, as foes are netting just 60.2 ppg on a meager .386 shooting against the Pirates. At the other end of the floor, the team is led by the scoring of Sterling Gibbs. Seton Halls top sniper, Gibbs is shooting over 50 percent from behind the arc (27-of-53), en route to 15.6 ppg. Isaiah Whitehead isnt quite as efficient from the floor (.393), but he does averaging nearly 12 points per outing (11.9). Brandon Mobley (9.9 ppg) and Angel Delgado (8.6 ppg, 8.8 rpg) provide depth. Four Pirates finished in double figures, as Seton Halls balanced attack was simply too much for Maine to contend with. Gibbs paced the team with 18 points. Fellow guard Jaren Sina added 13 points, followed by Khadeen Carrington and Delgado, who finished with 12 and 10 points, respectively. Seton Hall turned up the heat defensively in the win, forcing Maine into 20 turnovers and holding the Black Bears to a mere .304 shooting effort. Christian Kirk Jersey . Its Wu-Tang and Outkast in the final. Now, we all know youve played the role of Andre 3000 in the past, does that mean Outkast is getting your vote?AJ: You know it, you know it. Mason Cole Cardinals Jersey . (January 11, 2014) – Once again Kevin Martin proved why he is the all-time TSN skins leader, winning $11,500 in prize money and a spot in the Travelers All-Star Curling Skins Game presented by Pintys final following a semifinal victory over Brad Jacobs earlier this evening at the Fenlands Banff Recreation Centre in Banff, Alta. http://www.nflcardinalsrookiestore.com/ ... wa-Jersey/. Trailing by a goal after 20 minutes of play, Joe Pavelski responded with three goals and an assist as the Sharks snapped a two-game losing skid with a 5-2 victory over the struggling Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. Mason Cole Jersey . The 10-year deal the league and players agreed to that ended the 2011 lockout gave either side the right to opt out after six years. With the league projecting financial growth, there has been speculation that players will take that option in three years, especially since a new national TV contract will be in place by then. Justin Pugh Jersey . Vargas (8-3) allowed four singles and two walks while striking out five, allowing only two runners from a diluted Twins lineup to reach second base. Mike Moustakas and Jarrod Dyson hit RBI singles in the second inning against Kevin Correia (4-10), and that was all Vargas needed.CALGARY - The Continental Cup of Curling served as an incubator for mixed doubles curling. The World Curling Federation believes the fast-forward version of the sport has matured enough for inclusion into the 2018 Winter Olympics.The WCF has asked the International Olympic Committee to add mixed doubles to the curling menu in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The IOCs programme commission is expected to decide on it and other proposed sports in April.A team consisting of just a male and female curler sliding out of the hack and chasing their own rocks down the ice is certainly a novelty for those who follow the sport.Mixed doubles has been part of the World Financial Group Continental Cup of Curlings format since the events inception in 2002.To give mixed doubles more legitimacy and thus more consideration by the IOC, the WCF introduced a world championship in 2008.The eighth world mixed doubles championship will be in Sochi, Russia, in April at the same time the IOC is meeting there.We have done our homework, WCF president Kate Caithness told The Associated Press in 2013. Hopefully it will appeal to the IOC.The worlds top curlers are invited to the Continental Cup and for most, its the only time they ever play mixed doubles.Team Canada and Team Europe square off in a second round of mixed doubles Saturday at this years event here.Its an interesting concept, said E.J. Harnden, who plays second for Olympic champion Brad Jacobs.Its fun for the audience and fans to watch. Theres a lot of action, big ends back and forth. I think the more we can get the sport of curling in the spotlight and on the international stage, more television coverage, more awareness is great for the game of curling.Swedish skip Niklas Edin isnt a fan of mixed doubles. The Olympic bronze medallist says if the IOC adds another curling event to the Winter Games, hed prefer full mixed gender teams.Its too much up to chance. You have no sweepers. Its boring to watch actually, Edin stated. I see how other teams like it, but I dont think its a good sport for the Olympics.You dont get good ice conditions when you dont have sweepers and you throw (to) one side (of the ice) all the time. You see so many big misstakes.dddddddddddd The quality is too low.What mixed doubles has working in its favour for Olympic inclusion is traditional curling countries dont dominate it.Canadas stars dont have time to play in it because of their team commitments. Canada has won just one medal — a bronze — in the seven-year history of the world championship.Hungary won a world title in 2013 with Spain, New Zealand, France, and Austria also finishing on the podium in other years.Stremlaw says there are several arguments in favour of mixed doubles being in the Olympics. Thered be enough ice time to fit it into the 16 days of competition, it would add no more than two athletes per country and the mixed gender aspect would appeal to the IOC, which wants gender equality Olympic Games.The fact that it gives a chance to other curling nations to aspire to greatness, to aspire to podiums, the non-traditional ones, I think all of those things work in its favour in a massive way, Stremlaw said.The CCA hosts an annual mixed doubles championship to qualify a team for the world championship, but the discipline hasnt been a high priority for the organization.That would change quickly if the IOC gave it the green light for 2018. As a powerhouse country in the sport, there would be a sudden ramping up of mixed doubles in Canada.If it is a full-fledged Olympic sport, theres going to be massive changes I think in terms of training, what athletes are involved and certainly as the governing body, were going to have to make further investments, Stremlaw said. Were going to have pressure from Sport Canada, Own The Podium, Canadian Olympic Committee because theres going to be another Olympic medal.Well have to set up a whole new system that will ensure podium excellence.After winning gold in Sochi in February, Harnden and Jacobs third Ryan Fry could not imagine competing in mens curling and mixed doubles at the same Winter Games.I cant speak for everyone, but I would never try and play in both, Fry said. Its definitely two different sports.The strategy and the athleticism and the type of relationship you need to have with your partner is a completely different dynamic than you have with your team.
