COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Texas A&M Corpus-Christi coach Willis Wilson paid Texas A&M center Tyler Davis the ultimate compliment on Monday night -- that others should mirror Daviss game.Tyler Daviss effort speaks for itself, Wilson said. A lot of big kids around the country can learn from the way he plays.Davis scored a career-high 25 points on 9-of-12 shooting as A&M defeated TAUM-CC 86-69 on Monday night.The Aggies (5-2) led 45-33 at halftime and kept the Islanders (5-2) at arms length the rest of the way, overwhelming their undersized opponent down low and outscoring TAMU-CC 40-24 on points in the paint.My teammates just found me in the right spots, Davis said. It was my job to post hard and create angles for the guards, and they got me the ball so I could score.As for that career high in points, and Wilsons commendation?Were supposed to play well inside against smaller teams, Davis said with a shrug. I felt like we attacked the inside.Admon Gilder tied his season high with 17 points for A&M and Tonny Trocha-Morelos scored 13. Cole Martinez had 13 points and Rashawn Thomas added 12 for the Islanders.The Islanders outrebounded the Aggies 39-31, but committed 16 turnovers, including seven by Thomas, and A&M outscored TAMU-CC 19-11 on points off turnovers.We didnt even win the rebound war in this game, Davis said. We lost by eight. Tomorrow our focus is going to be putting bodies on people.Texas A&M had 21 assists on 31 field goals and shot 54 percent overall.We didnt defend like we wanted to, maybe because of not playing for seven or eight days, A&M coach Billy Kennedy said. I just know we need to get better defensively.BIG PICTUREThe Aggies looked rusty after having not played for more than a week (a Nov. 27 loss to UCLA for a second-place finish in the Wooden Legacy), and failed to distance themselves from their outmanned opponent until very late in the contest. A&M plays three home games in six days this week, however, so rust should not be an issue by this weekend.The Islanders, whose only other loss was at Cal Poly on Saturday, kept their contest against a Southeastern Conference foe competitive throughout. They also considered it good experience for an upcoming big-name game, at Oklahoma State on Dec. 22.UP NEXTAfter playing three consecutive games away from Reed Arena, Texas A&M will play its second straight home game on Wednesday night against Denver.TAMU-CC returns to Corpus Christi, where theyre undefeated in four games, to host St. Marys (of Texas) on Friday.STAT OF THE NIGHTThe teams combined for 11 blocks, including seven by A&M. Aggies guard D.J. Hogg collected a season-high three rejections, after entering the game with five in six prior contests.TURNING POINTThe Aggies led by three points (28-25) with a little more than six minutes remaining in the first half when Aggies guard JC Hampton capitalized on a turnover by Rashawn Thomas with a layup. In the following couple of minutes A&M increased its lead to double digits, where it would stay the rest of the way.HE SAID ITYoure going to have a hard time beating anybody, let alone on the road, if you cant get to the free-throw line more than six times. TAMU-CC coach Willis Wilson on the Islanders shooting 6 of 6 from the free-throw line compared to 16 of 24 for the Aggies.HE SAID IT, TOO:These games are all preparation for SEC play. So theyre as important as any games were playing.A&M center Tyler Davis on facing opponents from smaller conferences.Air Max 97 Cheap Mens .

All it took was a speech from the countrys ex-coach and a couple of goals from its latest wonder kid.A call of support from Luiz Felipe Scolari and goals by promising youngster Gabigol helped put Brazil back on track at the Olympic tournament -- the hosts defeated Denmark 4-0 on Wednesday to reach the quarterfinals and keep alive their hopes of winning the gold medal for the first time.Brazil was in danger of an embarrassing elimination at home after struggling in the first two games, when frustrated fans jeered Neymar. Fans chanted Marta was better than Neymar several times across soccer host cities.Brazilian Olympic coach Rogerio Micale, in his first high-profile job, admitted he was struggling.He got some help from Scolari, a man who has dealt with both success and adversity. Scolari was Brazils coach when it won the 2002 World Cup and when it was eliminated by Germany in the historic 7-1 loss in the semifinals of the 2014 World Cup at home.I got a call from Felipao. He showed his support, wished me luck, said he had trust in the work being done, the 47-year-old Micale said. It was a great honor to know that he was worried with this situation all the way back in China (where Scolari coaches). It shows what a great coach and what a great man he is.Scolari suffered through similar difficulties before the 2002 World Cup, when Brazils national team didnt have the support of the home fans after almost failing to qualify for the tournament in South Korea and Japan.He is a coach with experience, Micale said. He understands this moment that we were going through. He wanted to encourage us.Micale said he has also been getting support from senioor team coach Tite, who made an important visit to the team after the disappointing scoreless draws against South Africa and Iraq.ddddddddddddIts always important to have Tite around us, Micale said. His experience is always welcomed.The easy-going Micale has been Brazils under-23 coach but was not expected to be head of the team at the Olympics. He was given the job when Dunga was fired and replaced by Tite, who didnt want to take over both national teams.Micale said he was relieved after Brazil escaped elimination with the win against Denmark on Wednesday, with goals from Gabigol, Luan and Gabriel Jesus, another promising star who was yet to show his potential despite high expectations. Gabriel Jesus reached
