Texas learned a lot about itself on opening night of the 2016-17 campaign but will need to be a lot better, and quickly so, if the 23rd-ranked Longhorns are going to live up to their preseason hype.The Longhorns look to take another step forward when they host Louisiana-Monroe on Monday at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin in the first game of the regional round of the Legends Classic.Texas (1-0) gave up a double-digit lead to upstart Incarnate Word in its season-opener on Friday but rallied in the final minute with an 8-0 run that sealed a 78-73 victory. In the process, the Longhorns improved to 91-20 all-time in season-opening games; Texas has won 14 of its last 15 season-opening contests.Longhorns coach Shaka Smart said the close opening game was good for his youthful team.You really want games like this that you can learn from, Smart said. At the same time theres a humbling side of this which is good which is, man, theres so many things weve got to get better at and improve on. The bottom line is that our guys came back after we relinquished a double-digit lead. Were down one, and after that I thought some guys made some real winning plays.Texas freshmen quartet of forward Jarrett Allen, center James Banks and guards Andrew Jones and James Young logged a combined 114 minutes in the season-opener. Allen recorded his first career double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds, Banks blocked five shots and Jones and Young scored 10 points each. The Longhorns were led by senior guard Kendal Yancys 19 points.The Longhorns won Friday without three players who are expected to be big parts of their success this season, guard Kerwin Roach, guard/forward Tevin Mack and forward Mareik Isom. Roach, who is Texas leading returning scorer, and Mack are expected back for Mondays game after sitting out the open on suspension for violating team rules in the offseason.Some of us got a little fatigued, Yancy said of the Longhorns effort against Incarnate Word. We had guys playing over 30 minutes with some of the guys being out. We responded well, and when things werent going our way, we focused on the next thing, so thats pretty exciting.We had four out of seven of the guys playing that are freshmen, responding the way that they did, so Im pretty excited with those guys.Louisiana-Monroe (1-0) rolled to a 96-63 win in its opener Friday against Centenary.Four players finished in double-figure scoring for Louisiana-Monroe, led by junior college transfer guard Jordon Harris 23 points, 20 of which came in the first half. He was 9 of 11 from the floor including a 5 of 7 showing from 3-point range.Forward Travis Munnings recorded his first double-double of the year with 16 points and 13 rebounds while guard Nick Coppola added 14 points with seven rebounds and seven assists and junior college transfer guard Marvin Jean-Pierre added 13 points on 6 of 10 shooting from the floor in his first game as a Warhawk.Overall, Louisiana-Monroe shot 54.4 percent on its field goals and was 12 of 29 from beyond the arc. The Warhawks led 12-6 at the under-16-minute time out, forged a 13-0 run over the next three minutes to stretch their lead to 19 points never looked back.The Warhawks entered the season off back-to-back 20-win campaigns and a second-place finish in the Sun Belt Conference last year. Louisiana-Monroe faces a tough task in Austin on Monday and they know it.We are still going to be a work in progress in each game but it was great to see positives today, Louisiana-Monroe coach Keith Richards said. Jordan Harris shot it really well in the first half. Coming out of junior college, he had a strong 3-point shooting reputation but hasnt shown that in practice. Its encouraging to see that today.Travis Munnings is a year further along and he controls the ball a lot better as an all-around player, Richards added. He is a better all-around player and is a key piece of this team for the upcoming season.Air Max 95 Cheap Authentic .S. -- Nikolaj Ehlers registered a hat trick for the third straight game and Jonathan Drouin had a goal and five assists as the Halifax Mooseheads hammered the host Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 10-1 on Tuesday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action.

Air Max 95 Australia Sale . MLS Commissioner Don Garber and Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez also will attend the session, which was announced Monday. The league has discussed placing its next two expansion teams in Miami and Atlanta.A lucrative boxing match between pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather and UFC star Conor McGregor is still more fantasy than reality -- but never say never.McGregors agent, Audie Attar of Paradigm Sports Management, told ESPNs Five Rounds podcast Tuesday that McGregors team would be very interested in the event, should talks become serious.McGregor (21-3) is a two-weight UFC champion, who has already demanded $100 million for a proposed boxing match against Mayweather. The Irish star remains under contract with the UFC. According to Attar, a lot would have to happen for a Mayweather fight to take place. But Attar and McGregor are in the business of keeping options open.Look, it wasnt something we started, right? Attar said. It was something Floyd started and Conor responded in kind on social media. Its obviously built up public interest. Part of that may have been Floyd testing waters -- I really dont know what his motives are.All I can tell you is we are very interested if its serious. Ultimately, I think we have to see if its real or not. Thats what it comes down to.Floyd may have been waiting to see if Conor is the real deal and I think how he handled his first adversity with Nate [Diaz], beating Nate the second time at 170 [pounds], dominating the lightweight champion, the first to hold two belts -- I think hes shown hes for real.Mayweather (49-0, 26 KOs) hasnt fought since September 2015, when he defeated Andre Berto via unanimous decision and announced his retirement.He recently fueled speculation of a rematch with Manny Pacquiao by attending the Filipino boxers win over Jesse Vargas on Nov. 5 in Las Vegas.I dont know if Flloyd is enjoying the retirement life too much, if its a PR stint to keep the fun going of what he has going on in the boxing world, Attar said.dddddddddddd. Ultimately, I think well find out soon enough if [his interest in fighting McGregor] is real or not.I think theres so many moving parts that it would take hours for us to discuss [the logistics of that fight]. I think [UFC president Dana White] has interest in this as well.In the meantime, White told the Los Angeles Times that McGregor wont be back in the Octagon until at least May. The 28-year-old is expecting the birth of his first child in 2017.McGregors upcoming hiatus coincides with WWEs WrestleMania 33 card on April 2 in Orlando, Florida -- leading some to speculate about a potential foray into the scripted world of pro wrestling for the two-weight UFC champion.Attar said Tuesday that its something McGregor is willing to entertain -- as long as the money is right.I think its all about business, man, Attar said. If [WWE] is going to come with an offer, we are willing to entertain it. We are here. Have their people call his people -- which is me. We can have a conversation.McGregor has also said he expected a meeting with WME-IMG, UFCs new ownership, and feels he deserves a stake in the company that was just sold for $4 billion.When you see other athletes and other celebrities now owning a piece of [the UFC], why not? Attar said. The guy drives the most revenue.?Unless there is a logical answer for that, were still waiting. We havent heard one. ' ' '
