The ghosts of 2002 still haunt Paul Gallen and hes determined to make the most of whats being described as the greatest Cronulla side ever and break their title drought.Shane Flanagans Sharks re-wrote the clubs record books on Saturday when they recorded their 12th NRL win in a row against Parramatta, setting a new mark for the most consecutive victories in the franchises 50-year history.While premiership hype around the club grows with every win, Sharks skipper Gallen only has to think back on his second year at Shark Park to realise it counts for little.The Sharks 12-game winning streak surpassed the mark for most straight victories in a season set under Chris Anderson in 2002.Gallen cant help but see similarities between the Sharks of that era and 2016 and doesnt want to see the current side fall to the same fate.Flashback to 2002 and the Shire faithful were daring to dream their long wait for a premiership trophy was over after a strong regular season performance highlighted by winning 11 straight.However a loss to the Warriors one game short of the grand final saw them bundled out and Gallen said he knows their achievements count for little if theyre not firing in September.It reminds me a lot of 2002, we had guys like me and Greg Bird starting out, and then we had (David) Peachey and (Brett) Kimmorley and all those older blokes, Chris Beattie and guys like that, Gallen said.We got to a grand final qualifier and we got beaten by the Warriors, we won 11 in a row that year.Weve got a special side, we know that. But as a playing group we just want to take it week to week. We know its a special thing for the club, special thing for the fans, but Id give it back to make sure were playing the first week in October.Cheap Nike Air Max 270 All Gold .

I basically said to him, hes really disappointed me. (He is) a guy we thought would really come in here and show us an impact.Williams finally did just that by more than doubling his previous best with 30 points to help Tennessee overcome a first-half deficit against hot-shooting Lipscomb to win 92-77 on Thursday night.He helped the Vols counter the Bisons outside shooting by muscling his way into the inside to hit tough layups and get to the free-throw line, where he hit 10 of 13. It was the first 30-point performance by a Tennessee freshman since Chris Lofton -- who was in the stands for Thursdays game -- did it against Arkansas in 2005.And Williams was grateful for the harsh words from Barnes, who was critical of his entire team after the Vols squandered double-digit leads in back-to-back games against North Carolina and Tennessee Tech this week.If you have guys just telling you that youre a good player, youre doing this well, youre doing this right, youre not going to really succeed because youre not going to work on the parts of the game that arent good, Williams said. Him being blunt really helps all of us, I would say.Tennessee (6-4) and Lipscomb (4-9) were tied at 71 with 12:28 to play, when two inside shots by Robert Hubbs III and a pair of 3-pointers from Detrick Mostella and Lew Evans sparked a 19-0 run for Tennessee.Lipscomb, which struggled all night defensively and pulled in only 29 rebounds compared to Tennessees 41, went 7:24 without a basket and never recovered.We talked about it at halftime, Lipscomb coach Casey Alexander said. We said if were not better defensively well lose by double figures, and we got that (prediction) right.The Vols followed up a sluggish second half in a narrow win on Tuesday against Tennessee Tech by shooting consistently well againnst Lipscomb.dddddddddddd They sank 54.5 percent of their shots and went 28 of 39 from the free-throw line.Still, it was the Bisons who led 58-49 at halftime after matching the Vols 2-pointers and free throws with a flurry of shots from behind the arc. Lipscomb has been hot from deep all season and entered the game ranked seventh in the nation with 112 3-pointers made.The Bisons hit 11 of 18 from 3-point range and 62.5 percent overall in the first half. But after the break, they cooled to 25.8 percent shooting, hit only one trey on 10 attempts and found several players in foul trouble.Hubbs finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds, and Mostella added 11 points.Garrison Mathews led Lipscomb with 28 points. Josh Williams added 16, and Nathan Moran chipped in 10.The difference from the first to second half was we werent the same offensive team, Alexander said. We were the same defensive team, unfortunately. Shots stopped falling, and we were never able to put anything together at either end.THE TAKEAWAYLipscomb: After scoring a season-high 15 triples against Morehead State on Saturday, the Bisons seemed poised to exceed that against Tennessee before their 3-point shooting faded in the second half.Tennessee: The Vols were criticized by coach Barnes after blowing a 22-point lead and nearly losing to Tennessee Tech on Tuesday. They responded by a steady effort against Lipscomb, despite the Bisons hot shooting in the first half.QUOTABLEA guy like Grant can score, Hubbs said. Hes a big body. He just gets the work done. Im very proud of him. We need somebody to score like that night in and night out. We need a big body down there that can score.KEY STATSTennessee went 28 of 39 from the free-throw line while Lipscomb only hit 9 of 17.
