First-half blunders don't ruin chances for Louisville
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Becky Burke scored 16 points and No. 23 Louisville overcame a sloppy first half to beat Tennessee Tech 84-54 on Sunday.
Chauntie Wright added 15 points and Deseree Byrd had 12 points, eight rebounds and three assists for the Cardinals (2-1), who bounced back from a 62-50 loss at Hartford on Tuesday.
Tacarra Hayes led Tennessee Tech (1-3) with 20 points and six rebounds but the Golden Eagles shot just 28 percent from the floor and turned it over 20 times.
Louisville led 28-24 at the half before pouring it on over the final 20 minutes. Wright, coming off knee surgery that forced her to sit out last year, keyed a second-half surge as the Cardinals wore down the Golden Eagles.

A young Baylor team
defeats californie 69-40
deerets california, 09-49 BERKELEY, Calif. — Brittney Griner had her chance to dunk in the waning minutes and missed again. It didn't matter much.
Baylor's 6-foot-8 freshman sensation did enough work to alter shots on the defensive end in the eighth-ranked Lady Bears' 69-49 rout of No.17 California on Sunday, a highly anticipated matchup pitting two of the country's top young teams.
Griner had 15 points, seven rebounds and five blocked shots.

FIFA refusing replay on bad call
Thierry Henry, one of the best soccer players in France's history became the most hated man in the Republic of Ireland last week. Most of the sports world isn't too happy with him, either.
After two playoff matches to decide who would earn a spot in the 2010 World Cup, France and Ireland had to go to overtime to settle a 1-1 deadlock. In that overtime, Henry blatantly played the ball with his left hand to set up a goal that sent France to the biggest sporting event in the world and gave the entire nation of Ireland a kick in the collective gut.
In Henry's defense, it was an intense situation and he made a split-second instinctive reaction to a ball bouncing in front of him. Probably 95 percent of athletes in his situation would have done the same thing. But handing the ball is a pretty big no-no in soccer, and this one was obvious. It seemed like everyone besides the four referees could see it.
Henry openly admitted his offense after the game. He knew it
was unfair. Ireland certainly knew it was unfair. I knew it was unfair. My French friend, Jean, told me in broken English that it was unfair. However, despite Ireland's appeals to FIFA for a replay of the match (which Henry himself supported), the result stood.
BY JOEL PETTERSON ipetterson@kansap.com
Sports is one part of our lives where we demand fairness. It's the one arena where we can control fairness, at least on the field. It's why we have referees, rulebooks and video replay — to make sure every touchdown, goal, threepointer or fumble is earned.
That's the most frustrating thing about Henry's play. It was caught on at least half a dozen camera angles and replayed over and over. But FIFA refuses to use instant replay to help officiate soccer games. It has said that
replay would disrupt the flow of the game and even ruin the "tradition" of controversial calls in soccer, according to a 2002 Associated Press story.
I can almost agree. Like most sports fans, I've been on either side of botched officiating jobs. During the 2008 NFL season, my favorite team (I won't mention its name for fear of extreme prejudice, but it rhymes with Glenver Shmoncos) was on the fortunate end of referee Ed Hochuli's most famous screw-up. His premature whistle on an obvious fumble by the Shmoncos gave them an undeserved victory over the San Diego Chargers. I knew it wasn't fair, but it still felt good.
But I also know what it feels like to be on the Irish side. During the 2002 World Cup, I remember staying up all night to watch the United States fight for what would have been one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history against Germany in South Korea. In the second half, Torsten Frings of Germany stopped a shot on the goal line with his left hand, and Germany
went on to win 1-0.
That game felt wrong, like someone had stolen all our Christmas presents and given them to a little German boy who already had three Christmas trees overflowing with presents. There was no vindication in the "tradition" of experiencing a horrible call.
Henry may have committed the handball in the first place, but FIFA is responsible for robbing Ireland of a chance at the world's biggest tournament. Hopefully an entire island full of Irish rage will inspire FIFA to actually back up its slogan: "My Game is Fair Play."

Chiefs pull off upset against Steelers
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Ryan Succop (6) celebrates with tight end Sean Ryan (89) after kicking a 22-yard field goal to win an NFL football game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in overtime Sunday. The Chiefs won the game 27-24 in overtime.
BY DOUG TUCKER Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When the last player drafted in 2009 trotted onto the field, the best team of 2008 was doomed.
A few minutes after Ben Roethlisberger wobbled off the field Sunday with a possible concussion, Ryan Succop kicked a 22-yard field goal with 8.28 left in overtime and the Kansas City Chiefs snapped a team-record 10-game home losing streak with a 27-24 victory over the stunned Pittsburgh Steelers.
Chris Chambers' 61-yard catch-and-run set up Succop, and "Mr. Irrelevant" booted through the game-winner for the Chiefs (3-7).
whose stadium was crammed with tens of thousands of towel-waving fans of the Steelers (6-4).
Roethlisberger had thrown for 398 yards and three touchdowns when he apparently took a knee to the bel-
is or his level of availability. We will have more information as we proceed."
Just before Chambers' big play, Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor dropped a possible interception.
"This job is not for the faint of heart," said a beaming Todd Haley, the Chiefs' rookie coach.
Matt Cassel had a horrendous first half, passing for only 35 yards on four completions. But he came through in the final two quarters and overtime, finishing with 248 yards and two touchdowns.
"It's nice to get a little reward against a team like that. I thought the guys really showed heart..."
"I've got to hand it to (Cassel), the kid's a fighter," said Haley, who grew up accompanying his father to Steelers training camp, where the elder Haley worked as a personnel executive. Haley

met while being sacked by Derrick Johnson and gave way to Charlie Batch. Coach Mike Tomlin said he was not certain how severe the injury might be.
"He took a blow, needless to say, it was a concussion-oriented thing so I doubt he was going to come back into the football game," Tonlin said. "I don't have a lot of information in terms of where he
lost to Pittsburgh in last year's Super Bowl when he was Arizona's offensive coordinator.
"It's nice to get a little reward against a team like that. I thought the guys really showed heart and guts," he said.
The Chiefs faced
third down when Cassel connected with Chambers, who was signed three weeks ago off waivers from San Diego. He went 61 yards before he was pushed out of bounds at the 4.
Succop, the final player drafted in April, came in and clinched the Chiefs' first home victory in more than a year. Succop also had a 27-yarder that tied it 17-all in the final seconds of the third quarter.
It was the second loss in a row for the Steelers, who have fallen twice to division rival Cincinnati and were without injured Pro Bowl safety Troy Polamalu. Defensive end Chris Kemoeatu also went out with a knee injury.
In regulation, the Steelers (6-4) had the ball for almost 19 minutes longer than the Chiefs (3-7) and outgained them 463-206. The Chiefs stayed in it with
"I think we lost the momentum in the third quarter with all the turnovers and stuff like that," said Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward, who had 10 catches for 128 yards, including an 8-yard touchdown. "When you let a team hang around like that, you give them a chance. When you give them hope, they thrive off the crowd noise. They took it into overtime and did what they had to do"
Jamaal Charles' 97-yard return of the opening kickoff and Andy Studebaker's 94-yard return of an interception.
But Cassel was sacked twice in the next three plays, and the Chiefs had to settle for Succop's 27-yard.
Studebaker, making his first NFL start, picked off Roethlisberger's pass 2 yards deep in the end zone in the third quarter and motored to the Steelers 8 before running back Rashard Mendenhall dragged him down.
Roethlisberger's 8-yard touchdown pass to Mendenhall gave the Steelers a 24-17 lead a few minutes later after the Steelers recovered Cassel's turnover at the 27.
"Once I picked it off, 100 yards looked like a long way," he said. "It was a fun play."
But back came KC, playing without suspended wide receiver Dwayne Bowe. Cassel hit Lance Long for 30 yards and Chambers for 47 to set up a 2-yard TD pass to Charles that tied it 24-all with a little under 5 minutes left.
Cassel also had a 21-yard TD pass to Leonard Pope early in the third quarter.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Missouri player Kim English takes career high in victory
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri coach Mike Anderson thought struggling guard Kim English needed to take the pressure off of himself. So he made English a reserve Sunday, hoping to kick-start English's game.
It worked. English scored a career-high 25 points off the bench on 9 of 12 shooting, including 5 of 6 from 3-point range, as Missouri rolled to a 100-44 victory.
