Two of the nations premier point guards will square off in a battle of unbeaten teams when No. 4 North Carolina faces Oklahoma State in the semifinals of the Maui Invitational on Tuesday at the Lahaina Civic Center in Lahaina, Hawaii.North Carolina (5-0) features a high-powered offense that averages 94.4 points per game. Oklahoma State (4-0) has been even more prolific, averaging 104.5 points and surpassing the century mark in each of its first four contests.The Tar Heels offense is orchestrated by junior point guard Joel Berry II, who has a pair of 23-point games this season, against Tulane and Long Beach State. Berry is averaging 16.5 points, 4.8 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game.Sophomore point guard Jawun Evans has been sensational for Oklahoma State, averaging 23.3 points, 6.3 assists, four rebounds and three steals over the first four games. He had 34 points in the season opener against Campbell, and he added 35 points, six assists, five steals and four rebounds in a 98-90 victory over Connecticut on Monday in the opening round of the Maui Invitational.Now weve got a big-time challenge, North Carolina coach Roy Williams said. I told (the Tar Heels) its the big leagues tomorrow because Oklahoma State was really, really impressive tonight.The Cowboys shot 45.9 percent from the field, made 12 of 20 from 3-point range and recorded 18 steals in their win over the Huskies.I thought we got off to a great start, Oklahoma State coach Brad Underwood said. I thought our defensive intensity was bothersome for them. And I love the fact we had 18 steals. Thats a great number. That means were being active and bothersome now.North Carolina shot 57.8 percent and established a season high in scoring in a 104-61 victory over host Chaminade in the first round of the tournament. The Tar Heels also amassed a massive 52-23 rebounding advantage.Were bigger. Were more gifted, Williams said. We were really challenged by them early, but over the course of the game, our size inside was probably the biggest factor.North Carolina, already without injured Theo Pinson and Luke Maye, received a scare when Brandon Robinson took an elbow to the face late in the first half against Chaminade. Robinson needed stitches for a cut on his lip, but he returned to the game midway through the second half.The Tar Heels and Cowboys are vying for a spot in the finals in a tournament that features an impressive field. Georgetown, which upset No. 13 Oregon, and No. 16 Wisconsin, which knocked off Tennessee, square off in the other semifinal.North Carolina was picked to finish second behind Duke in the Atlantic Coast Conference preseason media poll. Oklahoma State was picked to finish seventh in the Big 12 Conference.I think we have good players who are really good people who are trying to work really hard, Underwood said. I worry about all the predictions and the preseason stuff so little that I didnt even know we were picked seventh. Its not something I pay attention to, to be quite honest. We try to get better every day. We beat a very good UConn team (Monday), and (Tuesday), when youre in a tournament, you dont get very long to enjoy it. Nike Air Max 2016 Homme .

The former Liverpool boss is preparing for his first game in charge - against the leaders on Monday Night Football - after taking over from the sacked Steve McClaren.Carragher, who played under Benitez for six years at Anfield, told Sky Sports News HQ that Newcastle have got a top boss at the helm, although he did admit the Spaniard faces a different challenge on Tyneside. It was a decision [Newcastle] had to make, said Carragher. They had to change something and as weve said before you cant get rid of your players. I think if some clubs could they would, because theyve got a lot of poor players in that squad, thats why theyre down there.In Rafa Benitez, they have one of the best managers out there who they could get. I dont think they could get anyone better with the CV he has, but he hasnt managed with that sort of level of player for a long time. Fantasy Six-a-Side Pick six players for the chance to win ￡10,000. Ten or 12 years hes been at the top, which is credit to him but youd have to go back to his early days in Spain when he was getting teams promoted and relegated. So I think it will be slightly different for him. Jamie Carragher played under Rafa Benitez during their time together at Liverpool Newcastle have conceded 53 goals so far this season, the fourth most of any team in the Premier League, but Carragher has backed Benitez to sort out their struggling defence.Hell be very organised, youll see that between now and the end of the season, added Carragher. You may not see it tomorrow night [against Leicester] as hes only had a couple days training but as the weeks go on I think youll see a lot more defensive organisation from Newcastle. I think theyll be a lot more difficult to beat. Benitez replaced Steve McClaren at St James Park The quality of player they have there they shouldnt be fighting relegation or be second bottom of the league. Theyre certainly not a top eight team, which was a requirement of Steve McClaren - there was no chance of that.But theyve got better quality than where they should be and Benitez will be hoping to bring that out in the next 10 games.While Carragher believes Newcastle have enough to stay up under Benitez, he also thinks Sunderland could edge the battle for survival due to boss Sam Allardyces experience in a relegation scrap. Keith Downie gets reaction from fans as Rafa Benitez takes over at Newcastle I think theyve got enough to stay up but it looks like a straight shootout between Sunderland with Sam Allardyce and Norwich, who have just gone above them.ddddddddddddId favour Sunderland just because Allardyce has more experience at that end of the table and dealing with that level of player, Carragher added.Leicester thumped Newcastle 3-0 at St James Park in November, and Carragher believes Benitezs side have a tough trip ahead of them on Monday Night Football. The Sunday Supplement panel discuss the appointment of Benitez It will be very difficult. [Leicester] have only lost three games this season and whoever theyve come up against theyve had answers, he said.The plan has got to be to stop Leicesters counter-attack. Its what theyve been famous for this season with the pace of [Riyad] Mahrez and [Jamie] Vardy. So youd expect Newcastle to play deep and counter themselves.Benitez will be aware of what theyre about, hell be aware of their strengths and weaknesses and it will be whether they can carry out his plan.
