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 .

Andrew Wiggins made 10-of-12 from the foul line and scored 17 for Kansas (14-4, 5-0 Big 12), which capped a stretch of four straight games against ranked opponents unscathed. Elite Cardinals Jerseys . - The Oakland Raiders re-signed offensive lineman Khalif Barnes on Friday. Pink Cardinals Jerseys .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again. Anil Kumble, Indias new head coach, has said he will back Virat Kohlis aggression and desire to push boundaries to secure wins. He also said India would approach tough situations positively during the long season, which starts with a four-Test series in the West Indies.I love his aggression. I was no different, Kumble said at the teams pre-departure press conference in Bangalore. I was also aggressive, but very different in terms of how I probably came across on the field. Ill be the last person to curb someones natural instincts, but of course we all know how important it is to be ambassadors of India and be a part of the Indian cricket team. That everybody in the team understands. There is a fine line and we will ensure that everybody knows that. I certainly wont curb anyones instincts.Kohli, a picture of composure, wore a sheepish smile as talk of his over aggression did the rounds, but insisted that Indias mindset change wasnt one-off, and that it was something they planned when he took over the reins of the Test team in January 2015.Our first intention is to win - that wont change, he said. Yes, there have been situations from where weve lost, but we know we were in that position because of the positive brand of cricket that we played. The reference, clearly not lost on anyone, was the Adelaide Test in December 2014, which India lost trying to chase down 364 on the final day.We need to realise we got there in the first place because we played at 80%, so the focus is on the remaining 20%. Anil bhais mindset was the same during his playing days, so the mindset makes a difference. If you are hesitant, you dont explore a different side to your ability as a team. Our motive is the same. We will play with the same mindset of trying to win the series and not just being satisfied with solitary Test wins.As a follow-up, Kohli was asked about Test rankings, which he said were merely a byproduct of consistent cricket, and not the teams primary aim. High standards have different definitions, he said. The main goal is to play good cricket. Even if were No. 1 and someone else does better, theres a chance they can overtake you. So thats not our aim. The season is long, and were playing the same format over a length of time. So theres an opportunity to use this stretch to challenge ourselves. That will give us a chance to assess ourselves and will determine how we play Test cricket over the next few years.Where Kohli felt the team had benefited most during the week-long camp in Bangalore was in the players personal interactions with Kumble and the manner in which he may have broken down barriers within the group.We havent had too many camps before, but I feel theres already a lot that the team has bennefited from, Kohli said.dddddddddddd If you have experience of facing different situations in the past, you are better equipped. Understanding of skills and understanding of mindset are two different things. Mindset cant be taught, but it comes only when you have faced tough situations, and thats one big difference.The information weve got from him about mental adjustments needed to win has been a big boost. Hes been more than willing to speak to everyone equally - the pacers, spinners, batsmen - and address their concerns. Theres an emotional connect with the coach, no doubt, but its about how he makes the players feel comfortable. Thats what I believe.Anil bhai has all those qualities in abundance. Theres huge respect within the group for what hes achieved and also because hes been Test captain. He understands that and makes them comfortable, so I feel the combination has settled in beautifully. Hes been involved with the players in some way or the other throughout.Kohli brushed aside concerns over an elbow injury sustained by R Ashwin while batting during the camp, saying he had only suffered a bruise.When asked about Mohammed Shamis return to the Test side for the first time since recovering from a long-term knee injury, Kohli enthused about his ability to generate reverse-swing. The skill was on display on his debut against West Indies at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, where he returned match figures of 9 for 118 - the best figures by an Indian fast bowler on Test debut.Shami is a skillful guy, we all know that. The way he bowls, the way he releases the ball, pitches the ball, its more or less perfect for Test cricket, Kohli said. The lines and lengths he bowls are always attacking. The best thing is when its seaming and swinging, he can bowl conventional lines and lengths. If its reverse-swinging, he knows exactly where to bring in the ball from. He has a great sense and feel of how to get batsmen out. We have been working with him on the mental strength aspect of his game. More consistency is something we push for him.Hes eager to prove himself and come back after injury. Weve seen when West Indies came to India in 2013, how he brought out his reverse-swing skills. Even in Adelaide in one of the sessions he brought us back into the game with two wickets. So hes always someone on whom we can bank in terms of picking wickets. In short bursts, if you want a good attacking spell, Shami can deliver that for you. Hes got pace, a great bouncer - so hes someone we always back because he knows he can take two-three wickets for us at any stage. Im glad to have him back.
