CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Western Michigan coach Steve Hawkins watched his team slice a double-digit lead to three points against defending national champion Villanova. Then the third-ranked Wildcats showed once more theyre built to handle tough games.They did what they do, Hawkins said.Villanova used a 13-4 run down the stretch for a 76-65 win over the Broncos (1-2) on Thursday to start the Charleston Classic. Western Michigan had cut a 14-point second-half lead to 59-56 to draw within striking distances of the Wildcats.Thats when Eric Paschall, Kris Jenkins and Josh Hart all hit 3-pointers to keep Villanova undefeated and off to its fourth straight 3-0 start.Paschall finished with 17 points, and Jalen Brunson and Hart had 14 each. Jenkins, whos shot at the end gave the Wildcats their national title last April, had 11.It was a good, tough game, Wildcats coach Jay Wright said. It wasnt pretty, though and weve still got to get a lot better.Villanova improved to 12-0 in early season tournaments over the years. The Wildcats are chasing their third consecutive crown after winning the Legends Classic in 2014 and NIT season tipoff last year.Jalen Brunson said the Wildcats, who toughed out a 79-76 win at No. 15 Purdue on Monday night, didnt panic at Western Michigans charge. Weve got veterans and its a situation weve seen before, he said.The Wildcats will face Wake Forest, a 103-81 winner over UTEP, on Friday for a spot in Sundays championship.The Broncos (1-2) fell to 0-4 at the eight-team Charleston tournament. They lost all three games when they last visited in the 2008-09 season. Thomas Wilder led Western Michigan with 19 points.BIG PICTUREWestern Michigan lost its second straight after falling to Oakland on Monday. The Broncos forced too many long shots, finishing 3 of 15 from behind the arc. They were much more effective driving deep into Villanovas defense. Wilders five baskets came from around the rim.Villanova came off a 79-76 win at No. 15 Purdue, and its sluggish performance made this much closer than it should have been. Jenkins picked up two early fouls and played only 21 minutes in his return to South Carolina, having spent part of his childhood in Columbia.DEFENSIVE IMPROVEMENTWright said his team must pick up its defensive pressure if it hopes to succeed this year. The Wildcats lost two big defenders in forward Daniel Ochefu and guard Ryan Arcidiacono. Wright said Arcidiacono called out defensive changes, a job thats fallen to Brunson this season. We have the ability, Brunson said. We just have to get better.WESTERN SWAGHawkins said his team will consider its strong showing against Villanova whenever theyre facing adversity this season. He said the players came here to win, but also understand they made improvements that will help them later. Its something well have in our holster, he said.STANDING STRONGPaschall, Villanovas 6-foot-7 sophomore, is guarding taller players this season because of the Wildcats lack of size in their rotation. Of the eight players with 15 or more minutes, only 6-9 senior Darryl Reynolds was taller than Paschall. The sophomore says it is a difficult challenge that hes becoming more accustomed to each time out. Ive just got to keep my mind clear and concentrate on what I have to do, he said.UP NEXTWestern Michigan: Plays UTEP on Friday.Villanova: Plays Wake Forest on Friday.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Jerseys South Africa Outlet .

Young formally announced his retirement Friday after returning to Rangers Ballpark, his baseball home for all but the last of his 13 major league seasons. After the WBC removed several fighters from its newly released October divisional rankings this past Tuesday for their failure to enroll in the sanctioning organizations mandatory Clean Boxing Program, several of the boxers dropped have enrolled and will return to the rankings next month, WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman announced.The WBC, which has been at the forefront of drug testing among boxings sanctioning bodies, is the only one to implement a year-round random drug testing program for all of its titleholders and ranked boxers. It is overseen by the Las Vegas-based Voluntary Anti-Doping Association and when 25 ranked fighters missed last weeks enrollment deadline they were dropped from the ratings, including such notable contenders as former heavyweight titleholder David Haye; former light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal; welterweight contenders Amir Khan and Lamont Peterson, both former junior welterweight titleholders; and lightweight Felix Verdejo, one of boxings top prospects.However, after the fighters were dropped from the rankings, many of them completed the enrollment process, Sulaiman said.The WBC has received communications from many boxers who were taken out of the WBC ratings, and most of them have now finished the enrollment process, which for different reasons was not completed in due time, Sulaiman said. All those boxers who enroll in the program will be returned to the WBC ratings in the month of November following the ratings criteria of the WBC, of course, to determine in which spot they are to be ranked.The WBC priority is to work in education and awareness to help all involved in boxing learn the dangers of PED use, as well as those illegal procedures which eventually create tremendous health problems for the athletes.Among the more promminent fighters who completed their enrollment are Khan, Pascal, Verdejo, junior middleweight contender Vanes Martirosyan and former junior welterweight title challenger Hank Lundy.dddddddddddd. Sulaiman said several others are in the process of completing their enrollment.It is very important to also mention that more than 70 boxers who are not mandated to enroll -- as they are not ranked in the top 15 -- have voluntarily submitted and enrolled in this historic program, Sulaiman said. The WBC salutes its champions and all of the top 15 rated fighters, but additional recognition must go to the others who also took it upon themselves to enter this program. It says so much about concern for their welfare and respect for the sport.The work has been monumental but extremely satisfactory, and a new era in our sport has begun as we all work together to make the sport safer. The WBC and VADA will work diligently in all aspects of the program.Some of the fighters not ranked in the WBCs top 15 of their division to enroll include heavyweights Oscar Rivas and Lucas Browne; cruiserweight Stivens Bujaj; light heavyweights Radivoje Hot Rod Kalajdzic and Mike Lee; super middleweights David Benavidez and Dimitri Chudinov; middleweights Hugo Centeno, Ivan Golub and former junior middleweight titleholder Yuri Foreman; junior middleweights Willie Nelson and Ramon Alvarez; welterweight Chris Algieri, a former junior welterweight world titleholder; junior welterweights Mauricio Herrera, Sergey Lipinets and Ivan Baranchyk; junior lightweight Billy Dib, a former featherweight world titleholder; featherweight Albert Pagara; and bantamweight Arthur Villanueva.
