Danny Cipriani illuminated an otherwise dull Aviva Premiership showdown at Allianz Park that saw Saracens grind out a 30-14 bonus-point victory over Wasps.With England head coach Eddie Jones watching from the stands, Cipriani set up his teams only try with a dashing step and injection of pace and sped off on another eye-catching break in the second half.It will not have been enough to change Jones thinking on a player he has repeatedly overlooked in favour of George Ford and Owen Farrell, but his creative spark behind an outmuscled pack breathed life into an eagerly-awaited clash that delivered few thrills.Saracens ended the leagues last 100 per cent record with two tries from Jamie George in the final 12 minutes propelling them out of sight in a comprehensive victory that serves a statement against a team viewed as the greatest threat to their title.Billy Vunipola emerged as their star performer after a tireless shift in which he carried the fight to Wasps time and again to help Saracens move to the top of the table.It was his older brother Mako who made the first indent on the visitors, however, after the loosehead prop burrowed over from a short-range line-out that was set up by a darting run from Schalk Brits and a brainless penalty by Nathan Hughes.Billy left his calling card on opposite number Hughes, a pretender to his England number eight jersey, by stripping the ball out of his hands to enable Saracens to launch a counter attack.It was not until the first quarter had passed that Wasps visited the home 22 for the first time and, although it was only a brief stay, there were signs that the balance of power was shifting.An attacking line-out ended just short of the line when prop Simon McIntyre was penalised for holding on, but a spin out of the tackle from the influential Ashley Johnson forced Saracens to scramble.Jimmy Gopperth landed a penalty to reward Wasps endeavour, but their scrum was taken apart shortly after and Alex Lozowski sent his kick between the uprights.It was going to take a flash of genius to pierce Saracens defence and it was delivered in the 38th minute when Cipriani skinned Billy Vunipola with a burst of acceleration, darted down an exposed left wing and fed the scoring pass to Josh Bassett.Once Kearnan Myall had been helped from the pitch with a bloodied head, the champions issued their response with a series of drives that ended with Richard Wigglesworth sending a fizzing final pass to Mike Ellery.Cipriani glided into space to set pulses racing early in the second half, but having chipped ahead he lost the foot race with Lozowski.Gopperth and Lozowski exchanged penalties and, following a 10-minute spell of dominance from Wasps, Saracens began camping deep in opposition territory but failed to score the try to put daylight between the rivals.Instead, the next points were delivered by the boot of Gopperth and the visitors appeared to be seizing the initiative only for replacement hooker George to burrow over from close range twice in succession.

"Trying to breathe," he said with a grin. Bernier stopped 42 of 43 shots on Monday night, including all 22 in a hectic middle frame, his heroic performance propelling the Leafs toward an undue point in their final game before the Christmas break. FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- Indiana coach Tom Crean walked into his postgame news conference and got right to the point.The third-ranked Hoosiers were outplayed Tuesday night.The quick, precise ball movement was missing. The energy Indiana needed to handle a preseason conference favorite, on its home court, also was absent. And the stunning result was the biggest upset of this young college basketball season: IPFW 71, Indiana 68.The bottom line is they executed better than we did, and thats disappointing to me, Crean said. They passed the ball faster and better than we did.For most of the night, the Hoosiers (3-1) hardly resembled the intense, scrappy team that opened the season by toppling then-No. 3 Kansas in overtime.Instead, they were trying to catch up, trying to get in sync, trying to match wits with a gritty opponent that was determined to put itself on the national map against an in-state power.The Mastodons, who moved up from Division II to Division I in 2001-02, had lost all nine previous games against ranked foes and hadnt even played a Top 25 opponent in almost four years.But none of that mattered Tuesday when they walked into Memorial Coliseum and saw their home court surrounded by a sea of Indiana cream-and-crimson attire.Theyll be talking about Indiana coming to Fort Wayne for the next 50 years, Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne coach Jon Coffman said . I really appreciate `em just coming.The fact that Crean even scheduled this game might have been as shocking as the result.Indiana agreed to play at IPFW only if it could sell the bulk of the tickets to its own fans, creating a sort of home-court environment almost 200 miles from campus on a holiday week.Coffman was thrilled that Crean just gave his team the chance.We had a win even before the game started, Coffman said. I have to give Coach Crean credit because he did something that a lot of big schools wont do any more -- play a mid-major team on the road. Those sort of moves are what make college basketball great because they make it possible that on any given night miracles can happen.Of course, no Power Five coach ever anticiipates being on the wrong end of those miracles -- even when the move is designed to help a young team find its footing in a rare non-conference road game.dddddddddddd.But with starting forward OG Anunoby under the weather, James Blackmon Jr. having an off-shooting night and an IPFW team determined to come up with the biggest win in school history, the Mastodons (3-2) wouldnt be denied.Thomas Bryant had 18 points and 12 rebounds for Indiana. Robert Johnson scored 16, but the Hoosiers were off just enough that it wound up costing them.Afterward, Crean took the blame for most of the errors and promised to get those mistakes cleaned up -- little solace on a night like this.We were trying to take what the game was giving us, Crean said. There were times we had it in the post and we just missed. The ball didnt move from side to side as fast as we needed it to.And now, instead of heading home trying to produce their first 5-0 start since 2013-14, Crean and his players will have to rebound from one of the most stunning losses in school history by figuring out what went wrong and how to make sure it doesnt happen again.We have nobody on this team thats ever been responsible for anyone else, who can take the bull by the horns and lead guys through the thick and thin of it, Crean said.We were not as locked into the personnel and the block outs as we needed to be, and if we make our free throws, its a different result. But we didnt and they earned it.IPFW trailed for just 90 seconds and won despite making only two baskets over the final 14 1/2 minutes.Bryson Scott scored 18 points and John Konchar made the go-ahead free throw with 1:19 left in overtime for IPFW. DeAngelo Stewart hit two free throws with 2.9 seconds left to make it a three-point lead, and Konchar picked off the ensuing inbounds pass to seal the upset.Konchar finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds.---More AP college basketball at http://collegebasketball.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-Top25 Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
