No. 11 Gonzaga and Florida enter Fridays semifinal of the AdvoCare Invitational with 5-0 records, but coaches of both teams believe their squads are imperfect despite their perfect records.Part of their criticism is neither team has played the kind of opponent it will face Friday in the holiday tournament at HP Field House in Orlando, Fla.We have to take better care of the ball and improve on our shooting overall against a team like Florida, said Gonzaga coach Mark Few, whose team committed 15 turnovers and made only 27.3 percent of its 3-point attempts in an 82-62 win against Quinnipiac on Thursday.Florida is super athletic, playing hard, and they get after you. They have a look of a team that can play in the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament.The Gators defeated Seton Hall 81-76 to set up the semifinal meeting.Florida guard KeVaughn Allen scored 21 points and wing Canyon Berry, son of former NBA great Rick Berry, added 20 points in the victory. Berry averages a team-high 14.6 points, Allen is at 14, and forward Devin Robinson averages 11.2.The Gators defense was the difference down the stretch against the Pirates, holding Seton Hall to 33 percent shooting in the second half.I saw Gonzaga play this year about five minutes, and that was live here in the second half, second-year Florida coach Mike White said. At first glance, I know the big fella (center Przemek Karnowski) is extremely skilled, really impressed with his passing ability. I like the size of their guards, and they seem like really good passers as well.They will be our toughest opponent to date, and our guys are excited about that kind of challenge.The Gators are in the midst of playing nine neutral-site games and two road games to start the season while the OConnell Center in Gainesville goes through a $64.5 million renovation project that will be completed in time for a game on Dec. 21 against Little Rock.You know, we dont even talk about that, White said about playing away from Gainesville. What weve talked about is improving each game. This kind of experience playing on the road will only make us better in the long run.Gonzagas victory over Quinnipiac has the Bulldogs searching for answers to attack a zone defense. Florida might try a zone similar to the 1-3-1 utilized by Quinnipiac that unsettled Gonzaga from the perimeter.The Bulldogs also experienced defensive lapses, allowing Bobcats true freshman guard Peter Kiss to score 18 points, many off penetration.Like I told the guys, were not going to be up 30 every game at half or by the end of the first media timeout, said Few, praising Quinnipiacs effort. Its Division I basketball. Its scratch and claw and find your way through it, and I thought we did a nice job of doing that.Gonzaga improved to 7-0 in holiday tournament games played in Orlando.The Florida-Gonzaga winner will face No. 21 Iowa State on Miami (Fla.) in the title game Sunday.Nike Air Max 90 China Wholesale Paypal .

LOUIS -- Goalie Ben Bishop and the Tampa Bay Lightning will be looking to end a couple of long streaks in Thursday nights game against the St. Louis Blues.Bishop, a St. Louis native, has not won a game in his homestand since joining the Lightning, going 0-2-1 in his three games in St. Louis since the 2013-14 season. His last win in St. Louis actually came when he played for the Blues, on March 7, 2011.Coach Jon Cooper did not commit to Bishop getting the start, but he did not play in the Lightnings game Tuesday night in Columbus and is expected to start.Its been even longer since the Lightning won a game in St. Louis -- Dec. 18, 2009. Overall, the Lightning has lost their last five games against the Blues.While the Lightning players know that history, they are more concerned with trying to break out of a current slump which has seen them lose their last three games, being outscored by a combined margin of 14-5.Id love to play against us right now in our own end -- its easy, center Brain Boyle told the Tampa Bay Times after the Lightning lost 5-1 Tuesday night in Columbus. Weve relied on our goalies, theyve been phenomenal. Theyre great teammates because they havent ripped into us yet for how were treating them, for how were defending.The worst part is we know how to do it.Boyle and the rest of the Lightning know their task of ending their slump wont be easy against the Blues, who have won their last five home games and are 8-0-2 in their last 10 home games.dddddddddddd They have lost only once in regulation in 13 home games this season.In their two most recent games, the Blues have allowed a late goal with the opponents goalie pulled which tied the game before they rebounded to win, once in a shootout and once in overtime.That is one problem coach Ken Hitchcock wants his team to correct, and he also believes they have taken too many penalties recently, especially in their own offensive zone.He has a new strategy to try to correct that problem.Were not going to talk about that anymore. Were going to use a different approach, Hitchcock said. Its the disease that were not going to speak about. Were just going to go out quietly and find a cure. Were not thrilled by it, but the more we talk about it, the more it seems to manifest itself. ... Its in the DNA; weve got to get rid of it. Well figure out a way.The Blues could have one new player in their lineup Thursday night. Defenseman Joel Edmundson has been cleared to play after being sidelined since Nov. 6 because of an upper-body injury.The Lightning also could make a couple of changes to their lineup.
