COLUMBUS, Ohio -- JaQuan Lyle scored 17 and JaeSean Tate added 14 and 11 rebounds as Ohio State routed Western Carolina 66-38 in another tuneup game on Monday night.Kam Williams added 13 points and Trevor Thompson had 10 for Ohio State, which is 4-0 to start the season but has gotten away with some sloppy play over lesser opponents. The Buckeyes shot just 41.8 percent from the floor Monday, but outrebounded Western Carolina 44-33.On the defensive end, we played very good. We got stops, Lyle said. But on the offensive ends we just (werent) there mentally.The Buckeyes trailed 4-2 early before opening up the game with a 9-0 run and cruising from there. Western Carolina (1-4) shot just 27.5 percent from the floor and committed 20 turnovers.I thought defensively we were as sound as weve been in a long time, Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. On the flip side, we had possessions where were not thinking the game, were not making the easy play, were not making the easy read. Weve got to get better at that.Haboubacar Mutombo led the Southern Conference team with 11 points, and Marc Gosselin had nine points and 14 rebounds.The Buckeyes dominated inside, scoring 36 points in the paint, compared with just 10 for Western Carolina.Were going to keep building, keep winning, keep moving in the right direction, Williams said.Ohio State led 32-18 at the half on 5-for-8 shooting from the floor by Tate and eight steals by the Buckeyes. Lyle was 4 for 4 from the foul line in the half.For us to have a chance in this ballgame we needed to shoot the ball with a little consistency, Western Carolina coach Larry Hunter said. We had 11 turnovers in the first half, and that hurt us a little bit. We cant give away possessions. Ohio State is too talented to do that. Youre not going to win too many ballgames shooting 27 percent.BIG PICTUREWestern Carolina: The Catamounts got to put their game up next to a more-talented Big Ten team before starting the conference season.Ohio State: The only thing Ohio State can hope to get from games like this is improvement. Western Carolina will be one of the worst teams the Buckeyes play this season. Matta said his team still needs work.We werent as connected as we need to be, we werent as sharp, he said.INJURY REPORTOhio State starting forward Keita Bates-Diop sat out with a sprained ankle he suffered Thursday in the win over Providence.

Fred Lynn Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. PV Sindhu got her campaign at the BWF Dubai World Superseries Finals on Wednesday off to a winning start, beating Japans Akane Yamaguchi 12-21, 21-8, 21-15.Starting on a rather lacklustre note, Sindhu soon found herself trailing 2-4 as the diminutive Yamaguchi, standing at a little over five feet, used her deceptive strokes to good effect. Errors ruled Sindhus game with No. 2 seed Yamaguchi soon opening up a five-point lead, 10-5. Sindhu clearly looked frustrated, while coach Pullela Gopichand, watching from the sidelines, was anything but pleased. Sindhu came into the match having lost to the 19-year-old Japanese only once in their previous three meetings, in 2013.World No. 8 Yamaguchi won the Korean Open in October and followed it up with a title in Denmark to become only the third non-Chinese player to win two consecutive Super Series trophies. Sindhu, making her debut at the event, has been pooled in Group B alongside World No. 2 Carolina Marin of Spain and World No. 6 Sun Yu of China, whom she will face next. Earlier this week, Sindhu won the Badminton World Federations (BWF) Most Improved Player of the Year award.Making amends in the following game, Sindhu raced tto an early 4-0 lead and appeared to be regaining her touch.dddddddddddd Her trouble with timing overhead shots though made an occasional appearance, allowing the Japanese to close in 6-7. Sindhus long reach and height came in good stead, as she put away winners out of a frustrated Yamaguchis reach, her searing cross court smash seeing her up 16-7.?Yamaguchi lost her balance on court on more than one occasion, slowing her down and making her tentative. In the decider that followed, an aggressive Sindhu seized a 10-6 lead before Yamaguchi sprayed a smash wide to fall behind again. Stuck in the middle of the court for the most part, the Japanese was often left scrambling to return Sindhus crosscourt smashes, with little success. The match was slipping away rapidly from a tiring Yamaguchi and a weary return that sailed wide was all Sindhu needed to let out a victory cry.Following her silver medal at the Rio Olympics, Sindhu won her maiden Superseries title at the China Open and followed it up with a runner-up finish at the Hong Kong Superseries.
