Niceville, FL (SportsNetwork. Jacob deGrom Jersey .com) - The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders and the Creighton Bluejays will close out their stays in the Emerald Coast Classic on Saturday afternoon with a fourth-round matchup at The Arena. Middle Tennessee won its preliminary round games of this event against Southern University (66-48) and Northern Arizona (65-53) but was no match for Cincinnati in the third round as it suffered a 69-51 loss. The setback dropped the Blue Raiders to 3-2 on the season. Creighton worked its way into the Top-25 following a hot 5-0 start to the season, with each win coming at home. But hitting the road for the first time did not fare well on Friday in its third-round matchup with Ole Miss, as it fell 75-68. This marks the first-ever meeting between the Bluejays and the Blue Raiders. The Blue Raiders never had much of a shot in the third round, as they fell behind 12-0 in the opening eight minutes and could never recover en route to the 18-point loss. They were a victim of Cincinnatis suffocating defense, as they shot a mere 34.7 percent from the field, and the game would have been even more lopsided if they did not put together a strong showing from 3-point range (9-of-20). Darnell Harris transcended the struggles of most of his teammates by draining 5-of-9 from beyond the arc in his way to 15 points. Jacquez Rozier was also solid with 10 points. On the season, Middle Tennessee has not been able to get much going offensively, as they shoot just 36.2 percent from the field for 61.6 ppg. Its lackluster offensive effort has nearly spoiled an outstanding defensive showing (59.6 ppg, +2.6 turnover margin). No one scores in double figures, but Reggie Upshaw (9.6 ppg), Rozier (9.6 ppg) and Marc Tarrance (9.2 ppg) are all on the doorstep. Upshaw and Rozier also help out on the glass with at least 6.0 rpg apiece. The Bluejays took control of their third-round contest early by claiming a six-point lead at the half and they continued to lead by two with under two minutes remaining before allowing Ole Miss to finish the game on a 12-3 run. They shot a respectable 44 percent from the field on the evening, which included 13 3-pointers, but they could not stop the Rebels on the other end (.521). Isaiah Zierden did all he could off the bench, knocking down 5-of-8 from beyond the arc en route to a team-high 18 points. Austin Chatman stuffed the stat sheet with 15 points, six assists and five rebounds, while Devin Brooks scored 14. Creightons offense in the early going this season has kept pace with the potent 2013-14 squad (78.7 ppg), as it shoots 44 percent from the field and 75.9 percent at the foul line for 76.8 ppg, which is more than enough to support a stellar scoring defense (63.2 ppg). Zierden is an excellent 3-point shooter (19-of-40), which has helped him on his way to a team-best 14.5 ppg. Chatman (10.5 ppg) is the only other player in double figures but seven others score at least 4.5 ppg. Mookie Wilson Jersey .com) - Jenny Boucek is the new head coach of the Seattle Storm.

"IndyCar is on the rise and we are determined to be in great markets in this country and eventually throughout the world," IndyCar chief Mark Miles said in an announcement at the track on Monday. "We have no doubt this will be one of the great venues for Indy Car racing in very little time." Gov. Bobby Jindal, joined by officials from the track and Andretti Sports Marketing, said the race is expected to be locked into the IndyCar schedule for "at least three years, though the goal is to make this a permanent event." Ongoing negotiations include scheduling a weekend for the event, which would also affect the timeline for track improvements that Miles said are needed for "safety, fan enjoyment and quality of racing." Jindal will need state Legislative approval for $4.5 million, which will be combined with private money to make improvements, including pit area, straight away and perimeter fencing enhancements. Organizers estimated as many as 80,000 spectators attending over the three-day event, which is slated to include a "racing festival" including live music and other entertainment. "This is great news for Jefferson Parish and our entire state," Jindal said. "This three-day event would allow us to show off the excitement of an IndyCar race right here in Louisiana, as well as our states culture, entertainment and food. This event will be a great economic driver." The NOLA Motorsports Park, a private, $60 million facility about 14 miles southwest of downtown Neww Orleans, features a 2. Jason Vargas Mets Jersey. 75-mile road course that has already hosted AMA motorcycle racing and developmental levels of open-wheel auto racing including the Indy Lights, Pro Mazda and USF2000 series. The track is owned by Dr. Laney Chouest, whose family founded and operates Edison Chouest Offshore, reputedly one of the worlds leading builders and operators of sea vessels specially designed to service the offshore oil and gas industries. "We wouldnt be here without the vision of Dr. Laney Chouest," Jindal said. "Hes built this beautiful facility as a labour of love and today were seeing one of the benefits to the state." Chouest thanked Jindal for supporting a "public-private partnership that will leverage the significant private investment we made into this facility." Organizers were confident enough in the events success that they launched an Indy Grand Prix of Louisiana website, indynola.com, which referred to the event as, "Inevitable." "Im really pleased to see IndyCar preparing to bring a race to NOLA," said former racer Michael Andretti, CEO of Andretti Sports Marketing. "New Orleans is a great market to grow the sport and Im excited to have Andretti Sports Marketing involved with the operations and promotion of the inaugural Indy Grand Prix of Louisiana." IndyCar, which includes the Indianapolis 500 as its marquee event, is the premier American-based open-wheel racing series. Currently, the series drivers include Helio Castroneves, Tony Kanaan and Scott Dixon, who are former Indy 500 winners, as well as Marco Andretti, the grandson of former racing great Mario Andretti, and Graham Rahal, son of 1986 Indy winner Bobby Rahal.
