Tucson, AZ (Sports Network) - Jon Leuer finished with 22 points and seven rebounds as the Wisconsin Badgers used a strong second half to top the Belmont Bruins, 72-58, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Jordan Taylor added 21 points, including five baskets from beyond the arc, and also dished out six assists for the fourth-seeded Badgers (24-8), who will face Kansas State in the third round. We were playing a tough, physical team that really made us battle for everything we had, and we stepped up to that challenge, Leuer said. The Badgers rebounded from a dreadful 36-33 loss to Penn State in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament and are making their 13th straight visit to the NCAAs. Any time you lose you want to play better, Taylor said. We were just excited to get back on the floor. As you can see, guys were ready to relish this challenge of knocking down shots and we had a number of guys do that today. Mick Hedgepeth paced the Bruins (30-5) with 17 points. Kerron Johnson added 13 points for the Atlantic Sun Champions, who returned to the tournament for the first time since 2008. The 13th-seeded Bruins came out cold to open the second half, not hitting a field goal until a Scott Saunders jumper with 15:50 remaining. Prior to that shot the Badgers used two jumpers from Leuer and a Taylor three to widen their lead to 41-31. Two three-pointers from Jordan Campbell a little later cut the Bruins deficit to 43-39, but the Badgers pulled away with a 13-1 run. Wisconsin made three from beyond the arc in the run, including two from Jared Berggren, whose second put the Badgers up 56-40 with 8:32 remaining. The Badgers held a double-digit margin down the stretch, widening their lead to a game-high 71-52 on a Taylor three with 1 1/2 remaining. The first half was back-and-forth, with neither team able to create distance until the final minutes. Leuer gave the Badgers a 26-25 advantage with 3:30 remaining on a three- pointer, and treys from Tim Jarmusz and Taylor widened Wisconsins lead to 32-25. Hedgepeth stopped the spurt with a short jumper and Taylor capped the first- half scoring with a pair from the line, giving Wisconsin a 34-27 lead at the break. Taylor led the Badgers with 14 points in the opening 20 minutes, and they shot a combined 7-of-14 from beyond the arc. Hedgepeth paced the Bruins with 11 points on 5-of-6 from the field. Im just so proud of our team, Belmont coach Rick Byrd said. I am so proud of how they have responded to our coaching staff and how they represented the university on the floor, off the floor. I just couldnt be more proud to coach a team and very, very lucky to get to do so.

The Eskimos bought add space on a billboard at a McMahon Stadium parking lot. The billboard depicts an Edmonton Eskimo fan riding astride a Calgary Stampeder fan like a horse. "EE-Hawwww! See you Monday Stamps fans," it says with the words "No Stampeder fans were (physically) harmed in the making of this billboard" in smaller type across the bottom. The billboard and its location on the Stampeders doorstep are an audacious salvo from the Eskimos (5-3), who are chasing the Stampeders (6-2) for the CFLs West Division lead. Edmonton has lost three games in a row, while the Stamps are winners of four straight. But the Eskimos vice-president of marketing says the billboard is about just that -- marketing -- and not a comment about on-field performance. "We just wanted to have a little bit of fun and thats what it was all intended to do," Duane Vienneau said from Edmonton. "We wanted to make sure that this wasnt a football thing. Our general manager and coaches didnt know about this. "We were very cautious to make sure this wasnt a picture of a player. It was all about the fans. It was about hey, were coming to the game." The Saskatchewan Roughriders have posted billboards with similar themes in opposing cities to attract the Saskatchewan fans to game in those markets. The Esks retaliated last year when Saskatchewan was in town with one that said They cant count to 13 at Grey Cups. We have 13 Grey Cups and counting." That was a comment at the too-many-men penalty that cost Saskatchewan the 2009 Grey Cup. While the billboard in Calgary faces south in a parking lot next to bbusy Crowchild Trail, it isnt easily visible to drivers heading northbound.dddddddddddd But planting it there indicates the Eskimos organization feels bold enough to ramp up the CFLs Battle of Alberta again. The Eskimos missed the playoffs last season with a 7-11 record while Calgary went 13-5. Each team has won in the others stadium in two meetings this season. Calgary hosts the Eskimos on Monday before heading to Edmonton four days later. The Stampeders marketing department countered Thursday with a newspaper ad featuring a variation on a popular credit card marketing campaign. It said "Billboard at McMahon, $5,000; Ticket to the Labour Day Classic, $39; Putting your foot in your mouth: Priceless." The Stampeders were mildly amused by the billboard and even if they were annoyed, they werent about to show the Eskimos were getting under their skin ahead of an important game. "You cant miss it. Its pretty entertaining," defensive lineman DeVone Claybrooks said. "Its probably reverse psychology. Theyre the ones who are in the slump and were the ones riding a wave right now. It probably adds motivation for them as well. If your dad says my sons going to kick your tail then the son has to back it up." Calgarys quarterback is more motivated by Edmontons 24-19 win over the Stamps at home July 23 than the billboard. "Its going to be a big-time fight out here," Henry Burris said. "Its about time the Battle of Alberta is back to this level where both teams are battling for first place now like it used to be in the 90s. "The trash talking has begun with the billboard, but I know for us in this locker room, it all started when we lost this game to them a number of weeks ago. Its still burning in our minds." cheap jerseys from china ' ' '
