KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The situation Kansas forward Carlton Bragg recently experienced following his arrest and subsequent suspension for one game was no doubt humiliating and humbling.The 6-foot-10 sophomore was arrested on one count of misdemeanor battery. He missed the No. 3 Jayhawks last game, sitting on the bench as they downed Nebraska. Then on Tuesday, Bragg was cleared by authorities of any charges stemming from his Dec. 9 arrest.He will be available Saturday when Kansas (9-1) carries a nine-game winning streak into a matchup against Davidson (5-3) at Sprint Center.The manner in which this particular situation transpired, I think, was educational, Kansas coach Bill Self said. I also think it was one in which you could look at Carlton and understand he took some hits in order to do the right thing by letting the process play out.Self took the same approach, waiting on authorities to judge facts and evidence before commenting extensively on the situation. Braggs role in practice was reduced, but now that he is back, expect him to return to the Kansas rotation.Although Bragg started the Jayhawks first five games, the performance of the highly touted Cleveland recruit has been uneven. He ranks sixth among the Kansas scorers with a 7.8-point average and second in rebounds (5.3).I think that hell be much better moving forward, Self said. He certainly had some (personal issues), and Im not even talking about recent events. But I think those are things that players go through.I think that hell be much better moving forward. ... A lot of times kids go through them beginning their sophomore year because usually their sophomore year their role is much different. Its easy from the cheap seats to say when I get out there Ill be better, and then you get a chance to play and it hasnt quite played out that way. Its kind of humbling.Braggs struggles contributed to the advancement of four-guard lineups Self has used. Especially after 6-5 sophomore wing Lagerald Vick replaced Bragg in the starting lineup.Two small guards, senior Frank Mason and junior Devonte Graham, have been instrumental throughout the season alongside freshman wing Josh Jackson. Collectively the trio averages 49 points. Mason, the teams leading scorer (20.5 points per game) and Graham (13.7) are the only Jayhawks averaging 30-plus minutes.Davidson provides an intriguing matchup.In 2008, Kansas nipped Davidson and Stephen Curry 59-57 in the finals of the NCAA Midwest Regional before capturing the national title. The only other meeting in the all-time series was in 2011, when Davidson upset Kansas in a regular-season game in Kansas City, but the Jayhawks went on to reach the 2012 national championship game.The Wildcats feature two 20-point scorers. Senior guard Jack Gibbs leads the Atlantic-10 and also ranks fourth nationally with a 24.3-point average. He also leads Davidson with 29 assists. Junior forward Peyton Aldridge scores 20 per game and grabs a team-high 6.6 rebounds.Davidson comes off a 10-day break since falling against No. 7 North Carolina 83-74 on Dec. 7.I think the fight that our guys had, the attack mode that they play in, the versatility of our players, kept it close, Bob McKillop, the 28th-year Davidson coach, said after the North Carolina defeat. I thought Jack was particularly an orchestra leader. That was very pleasing to me.The Kansas matchup will be the seventh Davidson has played away from home in its first nine games. The Wildcats then begin a three-game homestand to close out December. Air Max Plus Ingrosso . Despite dominating possession, Schalke needed an own goal from Nicolas Hoefler for the breakthrough a minute before the interval.

Paul George Scarpe Nasa .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again. WASHINGTON -- The Washington Nationals are in first place and the Pittsburgh Pirates are trying to get there.Two teams who have played well this month will meet on Friday in the first game after the All-Star break and the first of a three-game weekend series in the nations capital.The Pirates had a six-game winning streak snapped July 7 but have won nine of their last 11 games and 12 of their last 16, while the Nationals have won six of their last 10 games.Washington (54-36) is six games ahead of the New York Mets and Miami Marlins in the National League East. The Pirates (46-43) are seven games back of the first-place Chicago Cubs but just a game back of the second-place St. Louis Cardinals.Pittsburgh went 9-19 in June but has played much better this month to get back into the playoff hunt again.One of the bright spots is Pirates rookie infielder Josh Bell, who is 2-for-2 at the plate after he made his big league debut July 8. Did he worry when he would be called up?I really tried not think about that. I feel like in years prior, when I tried to push for a call-up or anything like that, thats when I press and thats when things started to go south for me, Bell told The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. I was just focusing on being the best player I could be on a daily basis, and its working out for me.The Nationals had four players appear in the All-Star game: outfielder Bryce Harper, second baseman Daniel Murphy, catcher Wilson Ramos and pitcher Max Scherzer. The Pirates had two: outfielder Starling Marte and closer Mark Melancon, who received a nice play from Murphy to get out of a jam in the seventh.Washington manager Dusty Baker knew that appearing in the All-Star game would be special for Stephen Strasburg, who grew up in San Diego.How you set up your rotation for the second half is equally important to us, Bakerr said in a telling comment that came a few days before Scherzer took the active roster spot of Strasburg on the National League club.ddddddddddddScherzer threw a scoreless sixth inningon Tuesday for the National League in a 4-2 loss to the American League. That means he could be available to pitch Sunday against the Pirates.The Pirates on Friday will start right-hander Francisco Liriano, who is hardly the pitcher he was in 2013 when he was 16-8 with a 3.02 ERA.This year Liriano, 32, who made his Major League debut in 2005, is 5-8, 5.15 in 17 starts. He has thrown 92 2/3 innings and allowed a league-high 58 walks.Strasburg will make the start against the Pirates Friday.He did not pitch in the All-Star game something the Nationals approached him about. Strasburg was held out of the midsummer classic in order to be ready for the second half as he missed two starts earlier this season while he was on the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation from June 26 to July 3.But it really wasnt a decision I had to think over, Strasburg told reporters of not pitching in San Diego.He is 12-0 with a 2.62 ERA in 16 starts this year. Strasburg is the first National League starter to begin a season 12-0 since Rube Marquard in 1912.He made his big league debut on June 8, 2010 against the Pirates, also at Nationals Park, and struck out 14 batters in seven innings, including the last seven.Last year, on June 20, Scherzer no-hit the Pirates at Nationals Park after he came within one strike of a perfect game.Strasburg last pitched on July 8 at New York and allowed just one run in seven innings in a win over the Mets. The next day Scherzer also allowed just one run in seven innings to down New York. ' ' '
