ATLANTA -- Coach Mark Fox is counting on a win that looked ugly on the court to eventually sparkle on Georgias resume. Ade Aruna Jersey .Yante Maten overcame a slow start to score 16 points and Georgia rolled to a 60-43 win over Georgia Tech on Tuesday night.Georgia Tech is rebuilding under first-year coach Josh Pastner and is expected to finish close to the bottom of the Atlantic Coast Conference standings. Even so, Fox insisted it was an important game for his Bulldogs, and not just because of the state rivalry.For us, an ACC game on the road will look good on our resume, Fox said. It was a big game for us.It was the Bulldogs first win at Georgia Tech since 2010 and their second straight win in the rivalry following four straight for Georgia Tech.J.J. Frazier scored 11 of his 15 points in the second half of what he said was a great team win for the Bulldogs.For me, its just a special moment, Frazier said. To get our first road win at Tech sure feels good.Georgia (8-3) kept its lead in double figures most of the second half. With less than 3 minutes remaining, Georgia fans in the sellout crowd began barking and chanting UGA!Maten had 11 second-half points, giving him 26 consecutive games in double figures.Georgia Tech (6-4) took its only lead at 8-7.Fraziers floater started a 9-0 Georgia run and he sank a 3-pointer to open the second half.Pastner said the Yellow Jackets couldnt overcome the cold shooting of Quinton Stephens, who was scoreless while missing each of his nine shots from the field, and Tadric Jackson, who was held to five points, about seven below his average.Its hard for us when Tadric and Quentin are a combined 2 for 14, Pastner said.Ben Lammers led the Yellow Jackets with 10 points, well below his average of 15.3. Josh Okogie had eight points and eight rebounds.BIG PICTUREGeorgia: The Bulldogs led 27-18 at halftime despite having only a combined nine points from Maten and Frazier. The first-half struggles revealed the need for the Bulldogs to develop complementary scoring. Derek Ogbeide had 11 points, including 10 in the first half, but he had little scoring help in the opening 20 minutes.Georgia Tech: The Yellow Jackets made only 1 of 10 3-pointers and shot only 34.6 percent (18 of 52) overall. It was Georgia Techs second loss to a Southeastern Conference team, following an 81-58 loss at Tennessee on Dec. 3.SECOND-CHANCE POINTS ARE KEYGeorgia outscored Georgia Tech 19-2 on second-chance points while holding a 13-5 advantage on offensive rebounds.They kicked our butt on the offensive glass, no question about that, Pastner said.FOOTBALL REWINDOne of the biggest cheers from the home fans came during a second-half break when highlights of Georgia Techs 28-27 football win on Nov. 26 were shown on the video board.SELLOUTThe attendance was 8,600 for Georgia Techs first home sellout of the season -- possibly contributing to the Yellow Jackets poor start.I think anytime theres a sellout crowd for a game like this, youre going to have a little bit of jitters, Lammers said. We just need to settle down quicker.Pastner said the atmosphere is what he hopes will become more common for home games -- minus the Georgia fans.UP NEXTAfter making a 90-minute drive to Atlanta, Georgia will make an unusual trip to southeast Michigan to play Oakland University on Friday.Georgia Tech will play its third straight home game when it plays Wofford on Thursday night.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Authentic Vikings Jerseys . -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good.

Thousands of fans at Mosaic Stadium will be cozying up to each other in an effort to stay warm in chilly temperatures and block the Prairie wind that locals say can knock your socks off. http://www.authenticvikingsshopnfl.com/ . The Dane followed up his first European Tour title last weekend with eight birdies and just a single dropped shot on Thursday for a one-stroke advantage over South Africas Allan Versfeld and Portugals Ricardo Santos. STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Six years ago, almost to the day, the tiny village of Russnas (population 90) in Sweden was bustling. Right at the intersection off the main road that leads to the big road that takes you to the highway, under the sign that welcomes visitors to the village, there was a big photo of Niklas Hjalmarsson in his Chicago Blackhawks jersey, with a message to the young man.Congratulations, Stanley Cup champion it said in Swedish. Next to it, there was a tin-foil replica of the Cup.The then-23-year-old defenseman had spent most of his two previous seasons in the AHL but had taken a permanent spot in the Blackhawks lineup that season. He addressed the villagers (and thousands of other fans) next to the playground where he had played as a kid, standing next to bales of hay and the Stanley Cup, his voice hoarse from a fun night with his family and friends.Six years doesnt sound like much time, but for the Hjalmarsson who met with the media at Team Swedens pre-World Cup of Hockey event here recently, the six years has been life-altering.Time flies. Ive got married, Ive become a father, bought a house, Hjalmarsson, now 29, tells ESPN.com. And then he added, after a pause, And have won two more Cups.Its been six awesome years, and I hope the next six will be as good. By then Ill be 35, and I hope to be able to play that long. After that, the body starts to feel a little old. Playing [in the NHL] until 35 is something of a goal of mine.Over the last six seasons, the defenseman has become a mainstay in the Blackhawks defense, one of the players in the teams core group GM Stan Bowman has built the championship teams around. Only seven players in Blackhawks history have won three Stanley Cups -- Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Duncan Keith, Patrick Sharp, Marian Hossa, Brent Seabrook and Hjalmarsson -- and Sharp is no longer with the team.Naturally, theres a special bond between us, Hjalmarsson said. In the beginning, none of us had kids, some of us were single, and now we all have wives and kids. Weve grown up together, and it almost feels that were brothers after all that weve gone through together on the ice -- and off it.Nothing brings teammates together like winning. Maybe its because only they know all the work and effort theyve put into it, and the struggles theyve gone through to make it happen.Hjalmarsson isnt one to reflect on his Stanley Cup wins too much, at least not before he turns 35, and communiccating what it takes to go all the way in the Stanley Cup playoffs isnt easy. Vikings Official Jerseys. For anyone.I think [of all the non-players], my parents understand it best because theyve seen all the hard work Ive had to put in, he said. The toughest part of winning is the mental side of it, grinding through a long regular season and ... then 20-plus-game postseason on top of it, through injuries and everything.The will to win is always there; you want to win at any price. Im so grateful that Ive had the opportunity to play in three finals, and that weve won all three. Nothing beats the feeling of standing there as a winner. Its hard to explain, but when I see other athletes get emotional after their victories, like [Swedish swimmer] Sarah Sjostrom at the Olympics, it moves something in me. Its easy for me to relate to that feeling, and I get emotional myself.All 23 players on Team Swedens World Cup roster are NHL players, accustomed to the North American style of hockey and everything that comes with it. But coach Rikard Gronborg, 48, is a federation veteran, having started as a scout with the World Junior team in 2006, and then worked as assistant and head coach with the under-18, under-20 and mens national teams.However, he did spend more than 10 years in U.S. colleges as a player and coach in the 1990s and is considered well-versed in North American hockey.He seems to have the right mindset, which makes it easier for us [players] to adapt, said Hjalmarsson, who was on the 2014 Olympic team that lost in the gold-medal final to Canada.In the upcoming World Cup, Team Sweden hopes Hjalmarsson -- who is one of the core players in an impressive defense corps -- can bring some of that Blackhawks leadership and winning attitude with him. Sweden has never won the World Cup of Hockey, including its Canada Cup roots.Thats a great motivator. Its wonderful to play for my country and to get to know the guys on this team a little better. They seem to be pretty great guys outside the rink, Hjalmarsson said with a laugh.Back in 2010, when Hjalmarsson brought the Stanley Cup to his village for the first time, he ended the celebration in the neighboring town by singing John Denvers Take Me Home, Country Roads.Thats one of the things Hjalmarsson definitely hasnt done since.But winning? That never gets old. Cheap Jerseys 2019 Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys 2019 Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys Throwback Cheap Jerseys China ' ' '
