UNCASVILLE, Conn. cheap nfl jerseys . -- Louisvilles 21st straight win wasnt what Rick Pitino would have liked it to be. Chris Jones scored 15 points and Montrezl Harrell added 14 points and 12 rebounds to lead the No. 3 Cardinals to a 71-57 victory over Fairfield on Saturday in the Hall of Fame Tipoff Tournament. But the Cardinals (5-0) committed 26 fouls and turned the ball over 14 times against the Stags (1-4). "Tonight we were just flat in every phase of the game," Pitino said. "We were flat offensively with only nine assists. Our two point guards turned it over eight times, which they havent been doing. We didnt do the little things necessary to exploit the weaknesses of Fairfield. We were late to the glass a lot. A lot of things were disturbing but well go ahead." Maurice Barrow paced Fairfield (1-4) with 14 points and Marcus Gilbert chipped in with 11. Louisville, which has three national titles, will be looking for its 27th title in a regular-season tournament when it faces No. 24 North Carolina in Sundays championship game. The Tar Heels beat Richmond, 82-72 in Saturdays first semifinal. "This wasnt a close game," Pitino said. "Youre going to see close (Sunday). Thats if we dont get blown out. If we play this way tomorrow, it wont even be a game. I think their size is going to give us a little trouble. They do a lot of good things defensively and theyre long. They offensive rebound very well." The Stags stayed with the Cardinals for much of the first half and led 11-9 midway through it. But Louisville went on a 28-12 run to close the half and led by as many as 21 after the break. Louisville, which was playing its first game away from home this season, got a balanced scoring effort. Wayne Blackshear had 11 points and Russ Smith added 10 points and seven rebounds. Luke Hancock, who has been recovering from a strained left Achilles, had nine points in 17 minutes, and was 7 of 7 from the foul line. This was the Cardinals first game away from home this season, and Hancock said the energy just wasnt there. "Weve had every game in front of big crowds at the Yum! Center," he said. "They had a lot more fans. We just didnt come out with enough energy. Weve got to come next time right from the start, especially against Carolina." The teams combined for 53 fouls in what was far from a crisp contest. Louisville, which came in averaging just six turnovers, the best in the nation, had eight before halftime. Fairfield used a full-court press to rattle the Cardinals vaunted guards. Jones and Smith each gave the ball away four times But Pitinos press was also effective, forcing Fairfield into 19 turnovers. Neither team shot well. Louisville, which came in making almost 50 per cent of its attempts from the field, hit just 38 per cent and the Cardinals were just 2 of 14 from 3-point range. Fairfield fared just as poorly, hitting on just 34 per cent, while going 5 of 15 from behind the arc. The Stags led 9-4 early. A jumper by Harrell tied the game at 11 and started the run that put the Cardinals in control. Hancocks layup off a Fairfield miss gave Louisville a 37-23 halftime lead. Another shot by Harrell gave Louisville its first 20-point lead at 49-28, with 12 minutes left. Fairfield cut the deficit back to 51-36, but could not get closer than 14. It was 59-40 when Harrell picked up his fourth foul and 62-43 when Smith picked up his fourth. But by then, the game had been decided. "Right now Im just locked in on getting my rebounds up," Harrell said. "At halftime I only had two rebounds and I felt, with my mindset, Im a double digit rebounder every night. I went back out after halftime and said thats got to be changed." Jones took charge down the stretch. He had all but two of his points in the second half. Fairfield has lost four in a row. The Stags were picked to finish sixth in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference preseason coaches poll. "We grew up a bit today, and we got some confidence," said Fairfield coach Sydney Johnson. "For Fairfield University, to be on this national stage, and let people know that weve got some good young kids in our program, its a thrill." This was the first meeting between the two programs. Louisville is now 156-37 in non-conference games under Pitino. Fairfield fell to 0-50 all-time against ranked opponents, dating back to the 1949-50 season. wholesale jerseys .

Nine games, no points in MLS play. And the prospect of plenty of time to think about that wretched record if it continues Saturday against the visiting Philadelphia Union (2-6-2). Thanks to the next round of World Cup qualifiers, Toronto (0-9-0) has a three-week break before it resumes play in Kansas City on June 16. Toronto outplayed an underperforming Vancouver 1-0 midweek to win 2-1 on aggregate and lift the Voyageurs Cup for the fourth straight year. Another win going into the league hiatus would be welcome. "We could sign off on a great note," midfielder Terry Dunfield said Friday. "I dont think were a million miles off. I think weve been close in the league several times," he added. "We just need to get that monkey of our back and get those three points. And then I think the points will come. "But every Wednesday night game under the lights in a cup, weve been a different class this season. So for sure if we can carry that mentality into the league, that can only help." Philadelphia, at least from the standings, represents Torontos best chance to pick up some points. The Union stand 18th in the league, with an eight-point bulge over MLS doormat Toronto. "Theyre kind of similar to us," said Toronto defender Jeremy Hall. "They play well, they miss a few chances and they give up a bunch of silly goals. "I know a lot of the guys on the team just from playing with them through college, youth national teams. A young team, hard-working team and Peter Nowak is a coach who demands a lot of his players. Its going to be a dogfight." Said Dunfield: "Theyre a strong physical side, and theyve been a little bit unlucky as well." Midfielder Julian De Guzman called the Union a physical team that likes to go forward. "But we know that theyre breakable. They dont do so well on the road," added de Guzman. It may be a low-scoring affair. The two have combined for 15 goals in 19 games. Seven other teams have matched or exceeded that total individually. Toronto has been blanked in four of its five home league games this season, scoring twice in the other match. The Union have been shut out in two of their five road outings with just three away goals to their credit. One of those goals came last Saturday when Philadelphia rallied for a 1-1 tie in Dallas, ending a three-game losing streak. Still, Philadelphia has good memories of Toronto last season. The Union humiliated TFC 6-2 at BMO Field and then tied Toronto 1-1 in PPL Park in October in a result that clinched Philadelphias first ever playoff spot. Toronto coaches and players have been scratching their head as to why the team has excelled in cup competition (3-1-4 this season) but tanked in the league. Forward Reggie Lambe offered a simple suggestion for spreading the wealth. "I think in our mind we should just take the league as a cup match. If we do that, then maybe well get wins," said the 21-year-old Bermudian. Its been eight months and 23 games since Toronto has recorded back-to-back wins. Manager Aron Winters team beat Colorado 2-1 in league play and FC Tauro 1-0 in the CONCACAF Champions League last September. Toronto is also looking to avoid setting any further records for futility. cheap nfl jerseys . Already in the record book for longest losing streak to start the season, Toronto wants no part of the league record for consecutive losses (12, set by the 1999 MetroStars). And Toronto faces a tough schedule after the break with away games in Kansas City and Houston. Wednesdays win did lift the spirits of the players, who trained at BMO Field on Friday in torrid 29-degree heat. "You could feel it in the practice, in the atmosphere in the changing room," said de Guzman. "You can tell in the changing room, everyones buzzing," added defender Richard Eckersley. "Training was lively. "We want to make it (winning) more consistent now. Not every month or so." De Guzman was sent off against Vancouver during a scuffle which started when Whitecaps forward Sebastien Le Toux shoved Ryan Johnson. Players started congregating and de Guzman made contact with Jun Marquez Davidsons face in what was closer to a caress than a punch. "I just gave him a little tap. He kind of overreacted, if you saw. It almost looked like he had CPR going on there," de Guzman said of the medical treatment that followed. While de Guzman admitted his emotions got the best of him, Hall appreciated his midfielder sticking up for the team. "We fought, we covered for each other," he said. "We were slide-tackling. There were little scuffles and we just had each others back for 90 minutes and I that was the reason why we won." Winter echoed the sentiment. "We fought and battled for it. We played well." Le Toux was also ejected after receiving a second yellow in the melee. Toronto could probably use the break in the schedule. Thanks to the CONCACAF Champions League and Amway Canadian Championship play, Toronto has already played 17 games this season. Teams like Philadelphia, the Chicago Fire and Sporting Kansas City have just played 11 games. "Its going to be tough on Saturday," Hall said. "Legs are heavy. We put a lot out there Wednesday night. ... Well just have to push ourselves on the weekend." Philadelphia goalkeeper Zac MacMath has been sidelined with concussion symptoms but could be pressed back in action after backup Chase Harrison rolled his ankle last weekend. Toronto will be without forward Eric Avila (ankle contusion), which may open the door for Danny Koevermans to return to the starting 11. Since returning from a groin injury, the big Dutchman -- one of Torontos three designated players -- has only seen action from the bench. With a contract worth US$1.563 million this season, thats an expensive backup. Winter has said that his preference is to play both Koevermans and Johnson, pointing to Koevermans post-injury fitness as the reason he has been relegated to the bench. "I was fit Wednesday also. Last week also," Koevermans said pointedly. Winter suggested Koevermans day may be coming. "To play in this league you have to be 100 per cent fit ... And of course when Dannys fit, hes going to play." Notes -- Luis Boa Morte remains on trial with Toronto. Winter said a decision on whether to sign the 34-year-old former Portuguese international will be helped by seeing him play in a reserve match Saturday. ' ' '
