FIVB said in a statement. Antworten

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Indiana States Brenton Scott wanted to show everyone that hes just as good as his twin brother.And just as capable of leading his team to a big upset.Scott broke a tie by making the first of two free throws with 0.8 seconds left and finished with 25 points Wednesday night as the Sycamores snapped a nine-game losing streak against ranked teams with a 72-71 upset over No. 16 Butler.I just wanted to show how good a player I am and that I can help this team win games, he said after celebrating fans stormed the court. The last two years, we havent won a lot. But now that Im stepping into a bigger leadership role, I wanted to prove a point and make a statement.If the big boys of Indiana college basketball didnt know it then, they certainly do now: The Scott brothers are a pretty good tandem.Two weeks ago, Bryson Scott scored 18 points to help IPFW pull off one of the most stunning upsets of the season, 71-68 over then No. 3 Indiana.After watching that game and the commotion that surrounded it, Brenton Scott wanted to match his brothers milestone win. But Brenton Scott one-upped his brother by scoring more points, finishing with nine rebounds, three assists and two steals to knock Butler (8-1) from the unbeaten ranks.Matt Van Scyoc made six 3-pointers and finished with 23 points, both career-highs, as the Sycamores (5-4) won their third straight overall, snapped a four-game losing streak in the series and handed coach Greg Lansing a school-record fifth career win over a Top 25 team. He had been tied with Bill Hodges, who coached Larry Bird, and the late Royce Waltman.Hes going to keep trying (to drive) even if they stop him, Lansing said, referring to Scott. Brenton doesnt have to go all the way, though. Hes got a pretty good pull-up jumper.Plus a few other tricks that made it difficult for the Bulldogs to keep up with him.Andrew Chrabascz had 18 points for Butler and Tyler Lewis added 15 on a night that got away from the Bulldogs fast.They fell behind a little more than 5 minutes into the game because of woeful shooting. They didnt lead again until Tyler Wideman scored on an alley-oop pass with 13:41 left in the game. When the 13-2 spurt ended, the Bulldogs had their biggest lead of the night, 48-42.But the Sycamores rallied with five straight points and after blowing two chances to take the lead, finally tied the score on Scotts 3 with 6:27 to play and took the lead for good with a 7-0 run to make it 62-57 with 3:52 to play.Butler tied the score at 71 with 11.1 seconds to go, Scott didnt call time out. He took the ball, drove hard to the basket, drew a foul and made the first of two free throws before watching Butlers desperation heave hit nothing but air.Weve obviously got a long way to go, Bulldogs coach Chris Holtmann said. Ive been saying that for a while now and nobody wanted to believe me. But you saw that tonight, weve got a long way to go.BIG PICTUREButler: Holtmann wasnt happy with Saturdays victory . And he certainly wont be pleased with Wednesdays response. The Bulldogs trailed most of the first half, didnt shoot well until late, turned the ball over too much, committed silly fouls and got outrebounded. Thats not the usual Butler way, the Bulldogs must get better in a hurry.Indiana State: If Wednesday nights game showed anything, its that Indiana State may be better than expected -- and could create some noise in the Missouri Valley Conference this season.HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LARRYThe most famous Indiana State alum, Larry Bird, didnt attend the game. But he certainly wasnt a forgotten man, either. The school used its Twitter feed to wish Bird a happy 60th birthday. The Indiana State baseball team, whom Bird played two games for before a collision with a catcher ended his days in that sport, also honored Bird with a post that was retweeted nearly 300 times before the game.UP NEXTButler: After a surprise loss, the Bulldogs face another daunting challenge when No. 22 Cincinnati comes to town Saturday.Indiana State: The Sycamores will try to prove they can continue playing good basketball when they host Western Kentucky on Sunday.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 . Cheap Custom Jerseys Free Shipping . LeBron James and Chris Bosh didnt need any more. Williams scored 11 points in 10 minutes, Alan Anderson scored 17 points, and the Brooklyn Nets finished the exhibition season with a 108-87 win over the Miami Heat on Friday night.

Paul Georges buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter spurred a 21-4 run, finally sending Indiana past the Magic 97-87 in a tougher-than-expected opening night matchup. http://www.collegejerseyscustom.com/ . -- Chicago Bears cornerback Tim Jennings was selected Monday to his second straight Pro Bowl, while guard Kyle Long made it after a solid rookie season.

"Given the way the meeting transpired," Ray Halbritter, an Oneida representative and leader of the "Change the Mascot Campaign," said Wednesday, "it became somewhat evident they were defending the continued use of the name. Wholesale Custom College Jerseys . -- Charline Labonte couldnt have asked for a better homecoming. Iranian women report they are being barred from attending a major volleyball tournament featuring the Olympic-bound mens national team, reigniting a debate about whether Iran should be allowed to host international matches.Despite a commitment from volleyballs world governing body that women would be able to attend this weekends World League tournament at the Azadi Sport Complex in Tehran, Iranian women who have pushed to make sporting events more open say they havent been able to purchase tickets despite multiple efforts to buy them online.Female fans are traditionally barred from attending male-only sporting events in Iran -- efforts by authorities to enforce strict interpretations of Islamic norms -- but many women are pushing to change that practice.The International Federation of Volleyball, Switzerland-based FIVB, streamed the Argentina-Italy and Iran-Serbia matches Friday, showing a segregated section of women in the stands. It was unclear if the women were members of the general public or invited guests and VIPs. A female announcer handled substitutions during Irans match.FIVB released a statement noting that the Iranian federation said Fridays matches sold out within five minutes, and that 466 of the 5,000 tickets were allotted for a section set aside for women. The area of seats, shown repeatedly on the livestream, didnt appear that large.From the moment tickets became available, the website for sales said the female allotment had been filled, according to several women who say they tried to purchase tickets.Honestly when I saw their `statement, I said, `If FIVB were Pinocchio, their nose was from Lausanne to Tehran. Why they lie this much? said a 32-year-old Iranian female representative from a group called Open Stadiums. She declined to give her name out of concern for retaliation. The Open Stadiums Twitter account identifies itself as A movement of Iranian Women seeking to end discrimination and let women attend stadiums.Tara Sepehri Far, an Iran researcher with Human Rights Watch, has tracked the controversy.Weve been following the case closely and I am disappointed to say that despite FIVBs claims to have assurances from the Iranian Volleyball Federation, the tickets have not been available to women so far, she said in an email to The Associated Press along with a screen shot of the ticket website.Iran rallied to win Fridays match against Serbia in five sets before a wildly enthusiastic standing-room only capacity crowd of 12,000. The home team faces Italy on Saturday.In 2012, the longtime ban on women from soccer matches in Iran was extended to volleyball. Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice last year called the ban ridiculous and said that nations that are part of international bodies should respect womens rights.FIVB has pushed Iranian officials to make concessions for women. The sports profile is rising in the country, tied to the national teams succcess.ddddddddddddEighth-ranked Iran qualified for its first Olympic tournament as one of the 12 teams set to play in Rio de Janeiro this August.It is important to emphasize that this is a first step of a long-term campaign to reinstate female spectators at volleyball events in Iran and one which the FIVB is 100 percent committed to, FIVB said in a statement.Our policy is one of engagement and diplomacy to secure inclusion through sport not through the threat of isolation. While we understand that volleyball alone cant enforce change, we appreciate that we have a significant platform for creating dialogue and the FIVB will continue to strive for sports power as an agent for positive change to be fully realized.For a February beach volleyball event at Irans Kish Island, women werent allowed to watch the tournament with FIVB claiming misunderstandings were at the root of the issue. Women then were later allowed to see play from a cafe overlooking the main court.The issue first drew international attention in June 2014, when British-Iranian student Ghoncheh Ghavami was detained when she tried to attend a mens volleyball match at Azadi. She spent more than 100 days in prison, much of it in solitary confinement.The case prompted FIVB President Ary Graca to urge Iranian officials to release her. He told the volleyball federations at the end of their world congress: We never normally seek to interfere with the laws of any country. But in accordance with the Olympic Charter, the FIVB is committed to inclusivity and the right of women to participate in sport on an equal basis.Also, in November 2014, FIVB said Iran would not be chosen to host a boys under-19 world championship in the wake of Ghavamis imprisonment. She was initially sentenced to a year in prison for spreading propaganda before charges were dropped.USA Volleyball board chair Lori Okimura also has been outspoken on the cause.This blatant gender discrimination of not allowing women access to purchase tickets to watch their teams play in Tehran, to me, significantly diminishes the accomplishments of the national teams in the worlds view, she said Thursday.Continuing to award Iran international volleyball events, when this condition is in effect sends the message, loud and clear, that gender discrimination is accepted by the FIVB and its 221 member federations. It is not.The woman from Iran with Open Stadiums watched on television from home Friday night alongside her mother and sister -- eating sunflower seeds and having dinner, not much different from a U.S. baseball game.We always watch because we really like our team. Im sport fan! she said. Usually I watch many sport matches.---AP Sports Writers Anne M. Peterson and Jimmy Golen and Associated Press Writer Nasser Karimi contributed to this report. ' ' '
