The NBL has dished up some weird and wacky things throughout this season, however, Round 8 clearly takes the cake.The top-of-the-table Kings played against the bottom-of-the-ladder side twice during round 8 and subsequently lost both games.The upsets didnt end there, second placed Perth also went down to the Hawks; ending a 25-game win streak over them at home. Cairns took down the higher ranked New Zealand Breakers whilst Adelaide look more comfortable on the road.The league couldnt be a more even competition if you tried, making it must watch television night in; night out.So who and what stood out the most during Round 8?Haunting the KingsIn the movies hes known as Casper the friendly ghost, unfortunately for Sydney, the Casper they faced in Melbourne wasnt so friendly; although he was just as cold.Its safe to say that the NBL ball hasnt affected Casper Ware as it has other imports. Playing in only his second game for Melbourne United, Ware put the Kings to the sword with an impressive 28-point display.With the game tied and only six seconds on the clock, United draw up the play for Ware, he calmly ambled up to the three-point line and sunk the biggest shot of the round.Touch the SkyTerrence Ferguson is only 18 years of age and is capable of flying. Sit back and enjoy...Trice as NiceGetting acclimatised to the surrounds of the NBL can take its time for new players, Travis Trice can attest to that.The former Michigan State Spartan found the going tough early on, his highest scoring game during his opening three matches was only 11 points against the 36ers.After missing the first four Taipans games to start the month, Trice again struggled in his return against Melbourne however turned things around against the Breakers. Finishing with a game high 31 points on 12/17 shooting to go along with 7 assists, all the while carrying the Taipans to a much needed victory.Life on the RoadLast week we mentioned Adelaide having problems at home, during Round 8 they played two games on the road and came away with two wins.Unlike games earlier on in the season, the 36ers werent relying purely on the impact of star point guard Jerome Randle to get them across the line.In both games, against Brisbane and Sydney, they had at least four players scoring in double figures and got a much greater impact from their bench unit.Adelaide are now the only team in the league with a winning record on the road, currently 4-3 (much better than their 1-3 home record!).Snakes and LaddersIt was the round for upsets as we saw a multitude of games going the way of the underdog. Melbourne were bottom of the ladder when they decided to upset the Kings, Adelaide also were stranded on the bottom when they dethroned the Sydney side.The Kings and Perth Wildcats, who sit atop the NBL ladder, now find themselves both riding two game losing streaks.Illawarra have not won in Perth since November 5, 2005. That is an insane 25 games that have gone the way of the home town Wildcats. That streak was ended during Round 8 in miraculous fashion, after falling behind early the Hawks surged behind former MVP Rotnei Clarke and took down the Wildcats.Well played Round 8, well played.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Patrick Mahomes and Texas Tech have lost plenty of high-scoring games. Winning a defensive struggle was a new experience.Clayton Hatfield kicked a 37-yard field goal in the second overtime, after Mahomes scrambled 15 yards for a score in the first extra session, and the Red Raiders beat TCU 27-24 on Saturday to break a three-game losing streak.I cant remember an ugly win like this that we had here, so to find a way when everything was kind of going against us says a lot about their character, coach Kliff Kingsbury said. Hopefully we can build off this.A week after their fourth loss in less than two seasons when scoring more than 50 points, the Red Raiders (4-4, 2-3) overcame a season-low 345 yards and had their fewest points in a victory since a 20-10 home win over TCU in 2013.Mahomes matched an FBS record with 734 yards passing on 52 of 88 passing, and set the FBS mark with 819 total yards, in last weeks 66-59 loss to Oklahoma in a game when those two teams combined for 1,708 total yards.Against the Horned Frogs, Mahomes was 24 of 39 for 206 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.It was a pass play called and it wasnt open, Mahomes said of his TD run in overtime. They were covering up pretty much everything all day. I just opened up and I just ran.TCU (4-4, 2-3) forced the second overtime on Desmon Whites incredible 25-yard TD catch from backup quarterback Foster Sawyer. White caught the pass despite having a defender on his hip, and secured the ball against his helmet to complete the score. The play stood after officials did a replay review of the catch.With the first possession in the second overtime, TCU came up empty when Brandon Hatfield -- not related to the Tech kicker, shanked a 40-yard field goal attempt , his third miss of the game.The previous two times the teams met in Fort Worth, they combined for 109 points both times. Tech won 56-53 in triple overtime in 2012, and TCU broke Big 12 and school records in an 82-27 win two years ago. The Frogs won 55-52 in Lubbock last year.Sawyer took over after dual-threat quarterback Kenny Hills last paass was intercepted .ddddddddddddHill was 16 of 29 passing for 160 yards, and has now struggled in three consecutive games since back-to-back 400-yard passing performances.For years, you find ways to win them, then you find ways to lose them Patterson said. Weve got to get back on the track of finding ways to win them. Its pretty simple.THE TAKEAWAYTexas Tech: Mahomes showed his grit in helping the Red Raiders win. A month after hurting his shoulder, Mahomes took another hard hit in the second overtime, but said he was OK. The win helped the Red Raiders in their pursuit for a bowl berth, now needing only to split their last four games to get bowl eligible.TCU: The Horned Frogs defense had one of its best games overall, making some changes that surprised Tech. Our whole thing was make them beat themselves, make them have patience, make them run the ball, Patterson said. But the inconsistency of the offense has to be concerning. The Frogs have been held to 24 points in three consecutive games after scoring at least 33 in their first five.MISSED FGs TO TDsBoth of Texas Techs touchdowns in regulation came on 80-yard drives after missed field goals. Mahomes threw a 33-yard TD pass to Reginald Davis early in the second quarter to tie the game at 7-7. The latter miss was in the fourth quarter, leading to Mahomes 8-yard TD to Dylan Cantrell with 1:28 left in regulation to tie the game. Mahomes also had an 11-yard run to convert fourth-and-3 on that tying drive.COACHS CATCHMahomes was scrambling away from pressure when he threw a pass away in the fourth quarter. The throw toward the TCU sideline was caught by Patterson, who reached up with two hands to make the grab.UP NEXTTexas Tech returns home next Saturday to play Texas.TCU plays at No. 8 Baylor, going to Waco next Saturday for the first time since their 61-58 loss there two years ago when the Bears overcame a 21-point deficit in the final 11 minutes.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
