ONE bantamweight MMA contender Carlo Bumina-ang of the Philippines said Marcos Aurelio should keep his head up high in the aftermath of their ONE Fight Night 39 showdown.
‘The Bull’ pushed Aurelio from the ranks of the unbeaten on Jan. 23, handing the Brazilian his first career defeat with a crushing TKO finish inside Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium.
The 31-year-old bucked a slow first round and found his opening in the ensuing frame, dropping Aurelio multiple times with ferocious punches to get back in the winning column.

The Team Lakay standout said Aurelio has a bright future and will bounce back from this loss.
“He’s still young and he can do more in this sport. And I know he will come back, like I said, I know he will come back stronger, and he will keep on pursuing his dream.”
“I’m just so happy that I was the first to stop him, but that’s what we always do, you know? We stop our opponents.”
Carlo Bumina-ang says Marcos Aurelio showed a lot of heart
Carlo Bumina-ang hit Marcos Aurelio with everything he’s got. Somehow, the 21-year-old survived the first wave of punishment and tried to regain his bearings.
‘The Bull’ shared with Nick Atkin of The Bangkok Post:
“Yeah, he was already stumbling. The referee gave him a few seconds to give him a chance, but he didn’t recover, so it needs to be stopped, or he would get more damage.”

A new Olympic sport is debuting this month at the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics.
Ski mountaineering combines uphill sprinting (on boots and on skis) and downhill skiing. Although the sport on the global stage is relatively new, it has roots dating to the late 19th century.
Something to know about Olympic skimo: it’s fast, with sprint races lasting about 3 minutes.
How it works
Ski mountaineering will have men’s and women’s sprint events along with a mixed relay.

The race works like this: The racers sprint uphill with skins on the bottom of their skis. A skin is a strip of material that allows for traction going uphill. They then run a section in boots before putting their skis back on to traverse another uphill section.
Once at the top, they take the skins off and race downhill. In the men’s and women’s sprint-event format, there will be a qualifying round where 18 racers qualify over three heats. The top three athletes in each heat advance to the semifinals along with three others based on time.

In the semifinal rounds, two advance along with two more “lucky losers,” which sets up the race for medals.

The mixed relay consists of one female and one male racer from each country. Each will complete two ascents and descents. The female athlete begins, then tags her male teammate for the switch. The team that completes all four laps first wins gold.
Who to watch
The current ski mountaineering sprint champions are Swiss racer Marianne Fatton and Spain’s Oriol Cardona Coll. Another favorite is France’s Emily Harrop, who won the test event at the venue last winter ahead of Fatton.
Venues and dates

The races will be staged in Bormio at the Stelvio Ski Center, with the men’s and women’s sprint events taking place on 19 February.
The mixed relay competition takes place two days later.
Memorable moments
The medal winners will be the first in their sport at the Olympics.

Fun facts
There are penalties in the race for things such as disrespectful behavior, unsportsmanlike conduct, technical errors and equipment that’s missing. The penalties range from a disqualification to adding time.
The first ski mountaineering world championships were held in France in 2002. The sport is presided over by the International Ski Mountaineering Federation (ISMF), representing roughly 55 national federations across five continents.
Ski mountaineering was part of the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics in Lausanne. The sport is proposed for the 2030 Winter Games in the French Alps.
Former Premier League manager Tim Sherwood believes Liverpool and Manchester United could still target Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven
Manchester United have been told why they could have a chance of signing Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven this summer. United had a quiet January transfer window with no new signings arriving at Old Trafford, but it could be a different story in the summer.
Ruben Amorim left the club at the start of January and was subsequently replaced by Michael Carrick, who was named as United’s interim head coach until the end of the season.

It remains to be seen what plans United will have for the summer transfer window, and the Reds have already been linked with a host of potential targets, particularly in midfield.
However, former Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood has argued why Van de Ven, a centre-back, could be a player of interest to United in the summer, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Speaking to CasinoStugan, Tim Sherwood suggested Van de Ven’s Spurss future hinges on his fitness record, while also explaining why United may not be alone in showing an interest in the defender.
“If he proves his fitness, I think there will be a queue around the block for him,” Sherwood said. “Hopefully Tottenham can keep hold of him but you know what it’s like when a player decides he wants to leave. Unfortunately, if you don’t let him go, you’re left without the money and the player in the end.
“People may be shocked by that but it all depends on who they have as manager in the summer because they’ve got it wrong so many times before and it looks like they have got it right at the moment.
“United are a club that can go from where they have been to the top quicker than most because they’ve got the brand power, the money to do it. They can pay the big wages for the big players.

“They missed the boat before. They could have signed Declan Rice and Harry Kane. Instead, they ended up with seven or eight signings who were alright but mostly very poor.
“They won’t want to miss the boat this time on Van de Ven. He will certainly be at the top of a lot of lists at any number of clubs and Tottenham will have to fight tooth and nail to keep hold of him.
“I think the only real way they keep hold of him is if Micky [Van de Ven] decides that there might be a bright future ahead at Tottenham, and right now they’re down in 14th in the Premier League and out of the running for the two domestic cups. They’re flying high in the Champions League but there are stiffer tests to come in that competition.”
Sherwood went on to explain why United’s bitter rivals, Liverpool, could be another club who have an interest in signing Van de Ven. This is despite the Anfield club agreeing a £60million deal with Rennes for centre-back Jeremy Jacquet on deadline day.

“Is Micky van de Ven to Liverpool off? All Micky has got to do is to prove his fitness between now and the end of the season but that will make it very difficult for Tottenham,” Sherwood said.
“Van de Ven is what I call a hierarchy player, players who when they are fit, they will play. They are the players that fans crave, and Tottenham fans want those top players like Harry Kane.
“When he was fit, you knew he was playing, and they’ve only got one of those players at the moment and that’s Micky van de Ven. If he’s fit, he plays. Other than him, Tottenham’s players are all a much of a muchness.
“I think Tottenham have got more chance of keeping Micky van de Ven than they have of bringing in another one of these players. That is the issue.”

Following their win over Indiana on Tuesday night, USC has won consecutive games and three of their last four, with the lone loss during that stretch a tough one-point game at Iowa.
Holding serve at home against an Indiana team ranked 30th in the NET was huge for the Trojans, a team sitting firmly on the NCAA Tournament bubble as February gets rolling.
And the importance of the win over another bubble team was not lost on Eric Musselman, who pointed out in the postgame that given the NCAA Tournament implications and Big Ten Standings, “This game is not worth one game.”
Perhaps the biggest takeaway from the victory was the play of Alijah Arenas. The five-star recruit with an NBA pedigree had his best game to date in the win over the Hoosiers. Arenas established new career highs with 29 points and six rebounds.
Advertisement
It was the first time in his five games played that he had cracked double figures in scoring. Perhaps more importantly, he played 37 minutes on Tuesday night.
Arenas made his Trojan debut on January 21 following a tumultuous 11 months in which he nearly died in a horrendous car accident, then had to rehab from a torn meniscus.
In his first four games with the Trojans, he averaged just 23.3 minutes per game. Getting a full run is a promising sign.
And for a USC team on the bubble, getting production from the talented guard as he finds his stride is huge.
Advertisement
Arenas is a bona fide scorer and playmaker who can create his own shot. Moving forward, opponents will have to pay even more attention to Arenas’s offensive prowess—and that should open things even more on the offensive end for the likes of Chad Baker-Mazara and Ezra Ausar.

Baker-Mazara is another guy who can create space for himself on offense. Ausar is athletic in the front court and has reached double figures in 20 of 23 games, including 12 in a row. Adding another scorer also allows Kam Woods to be a true point guard and really play to his strengths.
With Arenas hitting his stride, the Trojans have a chance to make a lot of noise down the stretch.
The lone East Coast trip remaining is the Penn State/Ohio State combo.
The Nittany Lions have been a disaster this season with just one Big Ten win and nine of their 10 wins on the season being Quad 4 wins. The Buckeyes offer SC a chance to steal a road game against another bubble team, albeit in a tough place to pick up a road win.
Advertisement
The rest of the slate sees just one road game, a trip to a sneaky good Washington team and the cross-town trip to UCLA.
USC could certainly solidify themselves as tournament locks before the calendar turns to March with visits from a pair of top 10 opponents in Illinois and Nebraska later this month. Even getting one of those would certainly erase doubt as long as the Trojans take care of their business.
With the firepower USC possesses, especially with a healthy and productive Alijah Arenas, this is a squad that could put together a run in March.
Simply making the big dance may not seem very ambitious once we reach mid-March.

SAN FRANCISCO – Ever since their Super Bowl victories in the 1990s, the Dallas Cowboys have been the practical definition of mediocre.
The team has yet to make it to an NFC championship game since it won the 1996 Super Bowl three decades ago, but the top receiver from that team, Michael Irvin, sees the vision.
Irvin told Fox News Digital on radio row in San Francisco he recently had dinner with soon-to-be second-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer, and he “love[s] the direction Coach is going in.”

“I love what he’s done with the offense, ’cause we found the offense. Now, we just got to solidify and make sure it gets more consistent. And being able to put up 30, 35 points a game,” Irvin said of the star-studded group that includes Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and Javonte Williams.
“Now, with Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark up the middle, dude, we got a force coming up the middle of the field. We gotta solidify that defense,” Irvin said.

Then came a bold prediction.

“The Cowboys can be in this game next year. We could be sitting here talking about the Cowboys in this game next year, and I want you to find me and make sure you say to me, ‘You said this. You said, Michael, you said, they could be here.’
“They will be here. I want you to find me.”
Cowboys fans daring enough to ride along with Irvin can do it on Hard Rock Bet, which has had a long-standing relationship with the Hall of Famer.

”It’s home, it’s Florida. I’m from Florida. You look back. I’ve had such a great friendship and alignment with them for so long. I did my Hall of Fame party at the Hard Rock, and, of course, Miami plays at the Hard Rock, so I’m always there with them. There’s a natural partnership,” Irvin said.

Catch and Tame is a tycoon simulator on Roblox in which you throw a lasso to catch animals from different areas of the map. These animals can then be placed at your pen to start generating some income over time. By collecting and using this money, you can purchase better lassos, EXP-gaining food items, and several buildings that’ll help you progress faster.
In this guide, we’ll discuss everything that you must know about this animal-catching game.
Everything that you must know about Catch and Tame
A pet pen (Image via Roblox)
Developed by Manta Games, Catch and Tame allows you to explore a map, throw the Lasso to catch wild animals, Tame them by completing a minigame, and place them on your base to generate income. Here’s everything that’s important to know before you obtain your first animal:
Advertisement
Pen
As you spawn into the game for the first time, you’ll be allotted a pet pen where you can place all your tamed animals. Upon placing, each animal will start generating money with time that you can collect to access several other features.
At the start, you’ll be able to place only eight animals at your base, while this capacity can be increased by upgrading your fence (using the in-game currency) and expanding the base.
Catching and Taming
To catch your first pet, you have to explore the map and search for an animal that falls within your Lasso’s catching power. Next, you have to tap on the Lasso icon, available at the bottom of your screen, and throw it towards the creature to catch it. Once caught, a taming minigame will start in which you have to tap until the meter at the bottom fills up.
Once you’ve tamed the pet, you can move ahead to place it on your pen and start earning money.

Lassos
Near the gate of your base, you’ll find a shop that allows you to purchase Lassos of different strengths. Here’s a list of all the Lasso that you can purchase:
Basic Lasso
Rancher’s Rope
Metal Lasso
Steelcoil Lasso
Stormwrangler
Sunforged Lasso
Nightveil Lasso
Voidweave Lasso
Celestial Tether
Nebula Lasso
Fragmented Lasso
Blackhole Lasso
Buildings
From the shop, you can also purchase some buildings that’ll help you grow faster in this game. Here’s a list of them all:
Farm House: A farmhouse to store your pets.
Animal Post: Attach your animals to the post to keep them in place.
Nursery: Eggs in the nursery hatch 20% faster.
Trait Machine: Roll for different traits with your pets.
Legendary Nursery: Eggs in the nursery hatch 50% faster with 10% more luck.
Cosmic Nursery: Eggs in the nursery hatch 100% faster with 20% more luck and 10% mutation luck.
Food
Feedind food to your animals will help them grow faster by gaining instant EXP. It is another item that you can purchase by accessing the shop near your base. Here’s a list of all the food items that you can purchase:
Farmers Feed
Enriched Food
Hay
Bone
Prime Feed
Steak
Breeding
By tapping on the heart-shaped icon at the bottom of your screen, you can breed two of your pets to obtain an egg. These eggs can then be placed at your base or Nursery to hatch them into rarer animals. You can also tap on the Recipes icon, placed at the left side of your screen, to discover better breeding pairs.
Catch and Tame is a Roblox tycoon simulator where players use lassos to catch wild animals, tame them through a minigame, and place them in their pen to generate passive income.

How do you catch animals in Catch and Tame?
You need to explore the map, throw your Lasso at an animal within your lasso’s power range, and complete the taming minigame to successfully capture it.
Why can’t I catch certain animals in Catch and Tame?
Some animals require stronger Lassos. If your Lasso isn’t powerful enough, you won’t be able to catch higher-tier creatures.
Jonny Clayton’s record in the Premier League is a formidable one.
The Welshman won the title on debut in 2021 and has reached finals night in each of this three full appearances in the showpiece event.
Advertisement
But having been overlooked for the past two editions, the Welshman feels he has a point to prove as he returns in 2026.
Advertisement
“I’ve moaned enough about not being in it, so I’m back with a smile on my face and I’ve got some proving to do that I should be in it,” he said.
“If you talk the talk, you’ve got to walk the walk. I’ve said that I should have been in it, now I need to prove why I should be in it.
“I’m looking forward to this. I’m really ready for this.”
Few will feel they are being written off more than Clayton, and as early as the eve of night one in Newcastle, the 2022 and 2023 semi-finalist got the impression that no one fancies his chances.
Advertisement

Clayton – the eighth and final player to address reporters at the Premier League’s media day – jokingly quipped that tournament organisers did not expect him to taste further success since the trophy was not present on the table for his interview, as was the case for the other seven participants.
The 51-year-old is also the huge outsider with bookmakers to win the event this year, although that is only adding fuel to the fire as far as ‘The Ferret’ is concerned.
“It motivates me alright because people don’t rate me, obviously they rate the others more. Let’s see on finals night,” he said.
Josh Rock, his opponent on night one, jokingly called Clayton the “old boy” and said he hoped the Pontyberem product would be “rusty”.

But Clayton is hoping his experience will prove beneficial against debutant Rock.
“To be fair, he’s a good lad, he’s full of fun, he’s confident and he’s a great player,” added Clayton.
“He’s bouncing, he’s ready to go. But I’ve had the experience so hopefully a little bit of experience will help me through.”

Clayton’s ‘hurt’ in 2025
Danny Noppert, James Wade and Nathan Aspinall are among those who were left downhearted to be omitted from this year’s event – the type of crushing disappointment Clayton himself felt in 2024 and 2025.
It perhaps goes some way to explaining why the former Grand Prix, Masters, World Series and two-time World Cup of Darts champion is intent on grabbing his chance to impress on the grandest stages again with both hands.
Advertisement
“I’m not going to lie, I thought I had a good chance of being in it last year. I’m obviously disappointed that I wasn’t,” Clayton said.
“The year before, I’ve got no complaints at all, but last year hurt a bit and I wanted to be back in it.
Advertisement
“I love this tournament. This is my favourite tournament of all and I wanted to be back in it. I’m back, and now I’ve got a point to prove.”
And on his plans to make a mockery of the odds, Clayton concluded: “I’m going [to finals night]. I’m going there to play, I’m not going to have to watch.”
Kun Khalifat FC’s withdrawal from the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) is not justified. It is unprofessional and damaging to the image of Nigerian football.
Before judging the situation, it is important to understand the background of the dispute.
Background to the Dispute
In an official statement dated February 3, 2026, the owner of Kun Khalifat FC announced the club’s immediate withdrawal from the NPFL. He said the decision was taken with “great disappointment and frustration” after the league punished the club for failing to honour their Matchday 24 fixture against El Kanemi Warriors.
Advertisement
According to the NPFL, Kun Khalifat FC breached the league’s Framework and Rules by not showing up for the match, which was scheduled for Monday, February 2, 2026. As punishment, the league awarded El Kanemi Warriors three points and three goals. Kun Khalifat were also fined ₦10 million, although the fine was suspended for the rest of the season on the condition that no similar offence occurs. The club was given 48 hours to appeal the decision.
Reacting to the sanctions, the club owner described them as “outrageous and disproportionate”. He claimed the club had valid reasons for missing the match and insisted these reasons were ignored by the league.
In the statement, Kun Khalifat accused the NPFL of bias, lack of transparency and putting revenue above the welfare of clubs. The club said it could no longer continue in a system that, in its view, focuses on punishment rather than fairness. The statement also called on other clubs to demand reforms within the league, while thanking fans, players and stakeholders for their support.
Advertisement
Why Kun Khalifat’s Action Is Wrong
Despite these claims, Kun Khalifat FC’s withdrawal from the NPFL cannot be defended.
A football club does not have the right to ask a league body to change fixtures because of financial problems. Kun Khalifat requesting match postponements and even suggesting new dates because they claimed they lacked funds is not professional. That is not how organised football works.
In Europe, the rules are clear and strict. When a club is found to be struggling financially, punishment follows. There is no pity and no special treatment.
Rangers were demoted to the fourth division in Scotland in 2012 after serious financial problems. Parma were declared bankrupt in 2015 and dropped to Serie D in Italy. Malaga were banned from European competition because they could not meet financial requirements. These clubs were not begged to stay. They faced the consequences of financial failure.
Advertisement
That is how serious leagues protect their standards.
Nigerian leagues must also be firm. Clubs must meet all licensing and financial requirements or be removed. If this is not enforced, we will continue to embarrass ourselves with crises like the Kun Khalifat situation.
Kun Khalifat FC is wrong to demand sympathy. Football is a business before it is passion. If a club does not have money, the result is demotion, not emotional appeals. A club that cannot fund travel cannot be trusted to consistently pay players, officials and staff.
Clubs must operate only at levels their finances can sustain. Anything else is irresponsible.
Advertisement
Failure to honour a fixture always has consequences. In this case, the NPFL applied its rules by awarding three points, three goals and issuing a fine.
Instead of accepting responsibility and using the appeal process, Kun Khalifat chose to walk away and say “ha gbachala”.
This is not injustice. This is regulation.
If Nigerian football wants respect, rules must be applied without emotion. Clubs must be ready before entering the league. If not, they should remain where their finances can carry them.

So the real question remains simple.
Are we ready to run Nigerian football professionally, or will we continue to manage it with pity?
With Top Reward, trainer Clayton Douglas nurtures Group 1 dreams for the 2026 autumn series, starting the colt’s campaign in a Stakes race at Caulfield.
The son of Shamus Award resumes in Saturday’s Group 2 Autumn Stakes (1400m), having had two spring appearances before a rest period.
Top Reward claimed his maiden win at 1500m on debut at Mornington in October, then tackled Stakes company, running third—six lengths off the winner Sheza Alibi—in November’s Group 2 Sandown Guineas (1600m) at Caulfield.
Tuesday saw Douglas join Top Reward and stablemate Mr Waterville for a gallop at Caulfield to gear up for the colt’s return this Saturday.
Advertisement
Douglas envisions the Group 1 Australian Derby (2400m) in Randwick during April for Top Reward, via the 1800m Group 2 Autumn Classic at Caulfield on February 21 after his opening run.
“He’s a lovely colt. He’s got a lovely brain about him and he’s got nice ability,” Douglas said.
“It was good to get those couple of runs into him in the spring and he’s come back a more furnished colt now.
“We’ll probably look to step him up to 1800 metres second-up, which may be better for him, but he’s a lovely, clean-winded horse and I’m looking forward to seeing how he goes first-up.
Advertisement
“He could be a Derby colt, but we’ll take each run as it comes, but over the next eight to 12 weeks, there are plenty of options for him, but so long as he keeps stepping up to the mark, well keep putting it to him.”
Two jump-outs have preceded Top Reward’s return, with Douglas noting the 1400m on Saturday might suit less ideally.
“He’s got good gate speed, so I wouldn’t think he would be too far away,” Douglas said.
“But there might be something that’s a bit sharper than him on Saturday but going forward he might be a horse to look out for.”
Advertisement
Mr Waterville from the same stable is in contention for the 1600m benchmark 84 on Saturday, Friday’s Colac Cup (2000m), and the Listed Premier’s Plate (2006m) at Morphettville Saturday.
Yet to race for Douglas, the Irish-bred Mr Waterville was initially handled by Chris Waller in Australia.
“He trialled well here last week and to me he’s a horse that would prefer to kick off over 10 furlongs, that’s probably more suitable for him,” Douglas said.
As the hurdles season nears, Douglas pointed to potential over jumps for Mr Waterville.

Lindsey Vonn’s coach and New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs are confident that the American skiing great can compete at the Milano Cortina Olympics with a ruptured ACL in her left knee.
Vonn, 41, is set to try her luck in the women’s downhill race on Sunday
“I’m pretty confident that she can still pull off this dream,” Vonn’s head coach Chris Knight told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “I’ve got no doubts in my mind that this is going to be OK.”
Knight’s comments came one day after Vonn said that she’s not interested in discussing surgery at the moment.
“It’s not really on my radar screen right now. The Olympics are the only thing that I’m thinking about,” she said. “Every day my knee’s gotten better. And every day we’re discussing with a full medical team, doctors, physios, everyone, to make sure we’re doing everything to make sure I am making smart and safe decisions.”

Diggs knows a thing or two about a torn ACL. His lone season with the Houston Texans in 2024 was cut short by the same injury.
“Prayers to her. I hope the surgery does go well when she does have it,” Diggs said Wednesday of Vonn. “Anybody who has torn an ACL, it’s kind of a weird injury. You can run after about two weeks when the swelling goes down. … As long as she doesn’t have to (decelerate), she should be fine.”
Like Vonn, Diggs has a big day ahead on Sunday. Diggs and the Patriots will face the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, Calif.

As for Vonn, she must complete at least one official training run to take part in the Sunday downhill. Vonn is no stranger to the mountain. She collected 12 of her 84 World Cup victories there, the most of any skier.
Vonn earned gold (downhill) and bronze (Super-G) medals at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and a bronze medal in the downhill at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games.
Vonn retired after the 2019 world championships due to injuries. She subsequently received a partial replacement of her right knee and launched a comeback late in 2024 with the Olympics in her sights.
She has won the downhill twice this winter and leads the World Cup standings in the discipline and was considered a favorite to win the gold medal in the event in Italy.
Opener Abhishek Sharma jockingly mocked Team India star Arshdeep Singh’s funny poetry in the dressing room after India’s T20 World Cup 2026 warm-up match against South Africa. The contest took place in Navi Mumbai on February 4, with India winning by 30 runs.
After the game, the players were having a light moment in the dressing room. Arshdeep Singh, in his usual element, came up with a hilarious poetry.
“Humne usse itna dekha, jitna dekha jaa sakta tha. Aur bhala in do ankhon se kitna dekha ja sakta tha (We saw him/her as much as could be seen. And really, how much more could be seen with these two eyes?),” he said.

Abhishek Sharma showed Arshdeep his hand and jokingly asked him to leave right away. The pacer also got all-rounder Axar Patel into the conversation, who burst into laughter upon hearing his poetry.
Watch the video of the moment below –
Abhishek, Axar, and Arshdeep did well in the warm-up fixture against South Africa. India batted first and posted 240/6. Abhishek scored 24 off 18 balls, including three boundaries and a six, before being retired out. Axar scored an unbeaten 35 off 23 balls, including two boundaries and as many sixes.
With the ball, India restricted South Africa to 210/7. Arshdeep returned figures of 1/29 from four overs.

Abhishek Sharma will be key to India’s T20 World Cup 2026 campaign
Abhishek Sharma will have a massive role to play in India’s T20 World Cup 2026 campaign. The opener has been in sensational form. He had a magnificent 2025, scoring 859 runs from 21 T20Is at an average of 42.95 and a strike rate of 193.46 with a century and five half-centuries.
In the five-match T20I series against New Zealand this year as well, he made 182 runs at an average of 45.50 at a strike rate of 249.31 with two half-centuries.
The left-hander has been consistent at the top, while maintaining an attacking approach. He has been instrumental in providing India with blazing starts more often than not. The Men in Blue will expect him to continue his fireworks at the T20 World Cup as well.
Holding serve at home against an Indiana team ranked 30th in the NET was huge for the Trojans, a team sitting firmly on the NCAA Tournament bubble as February gets rolling.
