TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Indiana States Brenton Scott wanted to show everyone that hes just as good as his twin brother.And just as capable of leading his team to a big upset.Scott broke a tie by making the first of two free throws with 0.8 seconds left and finished with 25 points Wednesday night as the Sycamores snapped a nine-game losing streak against ranked teams with a 72-71 upset over No. 16 Butler.I just wanted to show how good a player I am and that I can help this team win games, he said after celebrating fans stormed the court. The last two years, we havent won a lot. But now that Im stepping into a bigger leadership role, I wanted to prove a point and make a statement.If the big boys of Indiana college basketball didnt know it then, they certainly do now: The Scott brothers are a pretty good tandem.Two weeks ago, Bryson Scott scored 18 points to help IPFW pull off one of the most stunning upsets of the season, 71-68 over then No. 3 Indiana.After watching that game and the commotion that surrounded it, Brenton Scott wanted to match his brothers milestone win. But Brenton Scott one-upped his brother by scoring more points, finishing with nine rebounds, three assists and two steals to knock Butler (8-1) from the unbeaten ranks.Matt Van Scyoc made six 3-pointers and finished with 23 points, both career-highs, as the Sycamores (5-4) won their third straight overall, snapped a four-game losing streak in the series and handed coach Greg Lansing a school-record fifth career win over a Top 25 team. He had been tied with Bill Hodges, who coached Larry Bird, and the late Royce Waltman.Hes going to keep trying (to drive) even if they stop him, Lansing said, referring to Scott. Brenton doesnt have to go all the way, though. Hes got a pretty good pull-up jumper.Plus a few other tricks that made it difficult for the Bulldogs to keep up with him.Andrew Chrabascz had 18 points for Butler and Tyler Lewis added 15 on a night that got away from the Bulldogs fast.They fell behind a little more than 5 minutes into the game because of woeful shooting. They didnt lead again until Tyler Wideman scored on an alley-oop pass with 13:41 left in the game. When the 13-2 spurt ended, the Bulldogs had their biggest lead of the night, 48-42.But the Sycamores rallied with five straight points and after blowing two chances to take the lead, finally tied the score on Scotts 3 with 6:27 to play and took the lead for good with a 7-0 run to make it 62-57 with 3:52 to play.Butler tied the score at 71 with 11.1 seconds to go, Scott didnt call time out. He took the ball, drove hard to the basket, drew a foul and made the first of two free throws before watching Butlers desperation heave hit nothing but air.Weve obviously got a long way to go, Bulldogs coach Chris Holtmann said. Ive been saying that for a while now and nobody wanted to believe me. But you saw that tonight, weve got a long way to go.BIG PICTUREButler: Holtmann wasnt happy with Saturdays victory . And he certainly wont be pleased with Wednesdays response. The Bulldogs trailed most of the first half, didnt shoot well until late, turned the ball over too much, committed silly fouls and got outrebounded. Thats not the usual Butler way, the Bulldogs must get better in a hurry.Indiana State: If Wednesday nights game showed anything, its that Indiana State may be better than expected -- and could create some noise in the Missouri Valley Conference this season.HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LARRYThe most famous Indiana State alum, Larry Bird, didnt attend the game. But he certainly wasnt a forgotten man, either. The school used its Twitter feed to wish Bird a happy 60th birthday. The Indiana State baseball team, whom Bird played two games for before a collision with a catcher ended his days in that sport, also honored Bird with a post that was retweeted nearly 300 times before the game.UP NEXTButler: After a surprise loss, the Bulldogs face another daunting challenge when No. 22 Cincinnati comes to town Saturday.Indiana State: The Sycamores will try to prove they can continue playing good basketball when they host Western Kentucky on Sunday.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .Nike Air Max 270 Dam Rea .com) - The Chicago Blackhawks aim for their third three-game winning streak of the season when they host the struggling Edmonton Oilers in Sundays battle at the United Center.

Jordan Lynch, the all-purpose Heisman Trophy finalist from Northern Illinois, failed to make it into that exclusive club. Nike Air Max Plus Sverige . -- Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis was charged Thursday with driving while intoxicated, a day after he was suspended for an NFL substance-abuse policy violation.Five states -- Arizona, Louisiana, Mississippi, West Virginia and Wisconsin -- and the American Gaming Association filed amicus briefs with the United States Supreme Court this week in support of New Jerseys efforts to offer legal sports betting at its casinos and racetracks.New Jersey, after losing a decision in the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals in August, filed a request to the Supreme Court in October. Its the second time New Jersey has asked the Supreme Court to hear its case against the NCAA and four major professional sports leagues, which sued Gov. Chris Christie in 2012, setting off a legal battle that has lasted more than four years. The leagues have won every step of the way.The Supreme Court declined to take New Jerseys case in 2014, but the group of states is hoping for a different outcome this time. West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey took the lead on the amicus brief for the five states, which have concerns over federalism issues and believe the Third Circuits ruling against New Jersey fundamentally alters the nature of federal-state relations.The concern of the Amici States ... is not what Congress regulates but how it does so, the states wrote in the brief filed Monday.The American Gaming Association, represented by Washington, D.C., law firm Sidley Austin LLP, claims the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA), the federal prohibition of state-sponsored sports betting, is unconstitutional and prevents states from combatting illegal and organized crime.The Third Circuits decision is not just wrong; it is dangerous because it deprives States of the authority to combat illegal gambling, the AGA wrote in its brief, alsso filed Monday.ddddddddddddOnly a handful of states may offer legal sports betting, with only Nevada being allowed to accept bets on single games and events.The AGA says the federal laws have helped create a massive black market and estimates that around $150 billion is wagered illegally on sports annually in the U.S.The AGA has begun forming a coalition and is planning to lobby Congress in 2017 to lift the federal ban on sports betting. AGA president and CEO Geoff Freeman has said President-elect Donald Trump will have sports betting legislation on his desk during his term.As President-elect Donald Trump has acknowledged, illegal sports betting is a thriving industry, Freeman said in a statement to ESPN. The 24-year-old federal ban -- which is breathing life into a $150 billion illegal sports betting market -- threatens the integrity of games, presents fundamental questions about states sovereignty to define their own laws and combat crime within their borders, and prevents fans from engaging with the sports they enjoy in a safe, legal way. The United States Supreme Court should consider New Jerseys important claims and allow all states to address the serious problems associated with illegal sports betting.In 1993, Trump told reporters that legalizing sports betting in New Jersey is vital to putting the bookies out of business.The Supreme Courts decision whether to take the New Jersey case is expected sometime early in 2017. The Supreme Court accepts only a tiny percentage of cases.The sports leagues have until Dec. 14 to file their briefs. ' ' '
