suggested a return to the single-lap format used in the latter part of 2

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Adonis Filer notched a season-high 23 points and Florida Atlantic handed Ohio State its first home loss of the season, 79-77 in overtime on Tuesday night.A mishandled pass by Marc Loving gave FAU a last-shot opportunity, and Nick Rutherford banked in a layup for the lead with one second left in overtime.In a win that came as a surprise to most OSU fans, the Owls were vocally excited as they left the court and headed to the locker room. According to FAU coach Michael Curry, the win over the Buckeyes ranks as one of the best in program history.This is one of the top two or three for sure, Curry said. Were thankful for the opportunity to come up here and play a really good team.Rutherford, who finished with 11 points and nine rebounds, was given the opportunity for the last shot. After dribbling near half court to drain the clock, he went one-on-one with Kam Williams. Even with little space, Rutherford said he was confident in his playmaking ability once he got a glimpse of daylight.Coach drew up a play. It was a zipper (a play) for me to catch at the top, Rutherford said. The goal was to get the last shot. I brought it into the middle, and I saw space in the paint, so I went around my man and put it off the glass.The Buckeyes lead by a point at halftime, and held an 11-point lead midway through the second half, but late turnovers and missed shots allowed the Owls to capture the win.Jeantal Cylla and Frank Booker added 15 points apiece, while Ronald Delph grabbed 10 rebounds for the Owls (3-5).Trevor Thompson scored 16 points before fouling out for the Buckeyes (7-2). JaQuan Lyle had 10 points and nine assists.After the game, Lyle hung his head while talking to reporters, and had little in terms of an explanation for why his team failed to put enough points on the board.They were hitting really tough shots, Lyle said. I felt like we were playing great defense. I dont know why we werent putting points on the board. Well have to watch film and look at that.Florida Atlantic depended on 3-point shots for most of the night, going 10 of 25 from the field. OSU struggled to find its range, and finished 4 of 20 from deep.After trailing 5-0, FAU went on an 11-0 run to force a timeout by the Buckeyes. OSU started the game making just one of its first 10 shots.BIG PICTUREOhio State: There were very few easy shots for the Buckeyes, and for the second straight game Thad Mattas team played down to an opponent. OSU next faces a Connecticut team on a down year, but the Huskies will be a test if the Buckeyes continue to play with little energy.We let everything affect us, and they outplayed us, theres no question about that, Matta said. When things happen we have to be tougher and say, `We can defy this and who cares if they bank a 3-pointer. We have to go back down on offense and execute.Florida Atlantic: The Owls picked up their third win. Filer had an outstanding game, while FAU gained their first road win of the season.UP NEXTOhio State will host Connecticut on Saturday night.Florida Atlantic travels to Miami to face the Hurricanes on Dec. 16.

The Spaniard admits he doesnt mind if the format changes, but thinks it looks wrong for a professional sport to change their plans three times within a week.It is sad, I am sad. I am sad for the sport because it doesnt look right from the outside when in one week we change the qualifying format three times. Well, we pretend to change, but no one officialises anything, Alonso said. During the first pre-season test in Barcelona it emerged that a new continuous knockout format had been agreed by the F1 Commission. This was followed by news from F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone that the new style qualifying could not be introduced until Spain as new software had to be developed.However, there was a further twist during the second pre-season test when it was leaked that a new proposal could see Q1 and Q2 at the season-opening Australian GP adopt the new system, with Q3 remaining as it is.If I was a sportsman from another sport I would look at Formula 1 a bit surprised. I dont think it is right and there are too many changes, added Alonso. The double world champion went on to hit out at the current regulations and blamed them for driving fans away from F1.The complexity of the rules for the spectators is quite high, he added. All my friends here in Spain want to switch on the televisions and watch battles in big cars, big tyres, big noise and enjoy the race like they do with other sports.But with us they need to know know about MGU-H, MGU-K, state of charge, supersoft, mandatory, medium, when you are fourth in the race three laps from the end you need to stop because you have to put another tyre on that is mandatory.Things like that, it is normal that they switch off their televisions. Force Indias Sergio Perez says the F1 drivers are not happy with the proposed rule changes to qualifying, saying it will be too confusing for fans.dddddddddddd Given a choice of qualifying format, Alonso has suggested a return to the single-lap format used in the latter part of 2005. Then drivers took to the track one at a time in the reverse order of the previous races result. They then had one lap to set a time that would decide their grid position.We want simplicity. The one-lap format, super-pole, that we did in 2005 was quite spectacular, said Alonso.Everyone has one lap of television coverage, it is simple, you do one lap and you brake too late, miss a corner and you start 15th. There is some adrenaline on that lap as well.Whatever they decide we will go with as we have done for the last 16 years.Thursday was Alonsos final day in the MP4-31 and he registered 118 laps. Jenson Button will drive the car on the final day of testing at the Circuit de Catalunya.
