I mean, hes all that and more than advertised.Terry Henderson scored 19 points for the Wolfpack, who missed the front end of two one-and-ones in the final 7 seconds.Markell Johnson stole the ball from Loyolas Milton Doyle after the first, and Cameron Satterwhites heave from just beyond halfcourt missed after the second.Aundre Jackson scored 20 points to lead Loyola (5-2), which led by as many as 11 points in the first half.Ben Richardson had 16 points for the Ramblers, who made 10 of 17 3-point attempts.Doyle had 12 points and Clayton Custer had 11 for Loyola.BIG PICTURELoyola: With their lack of size inside, the Ramblers are going to have trouble defending around the basket just as they did against the Wolfpack. But their spread offense is legit, and they gave N.C. State fits with it. Loyola had clear driving lanes to the basket and open 3-point attempts from all over the court throughout the game.N.C. State: The Wolfpack struggled defensively and got almost no production from their interior players against an undersized opponent. They continue to excel in the open court offensively, but they must improve defensively as conference play approaches. Weve got one guy wearing a blue sock and one guy wearing a green sock, N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried said. Two guys trying to guard are not on the same page. Weve got to get on the same page.HIGHLIGHT REELSmith showed his outstanding leaping ability early in the second half. Johnson missed a layup in transition, and Smith rebounded and dunked the ball in one motion to give the Wolfpack a 55-52 lead.HE SAID ITI love my team. The thing I can say most is that in that locker room, they were genuinely upset. They were hurting big-time. They came in here not to come close; they came in here to win. Thats a great sign when youre trying to develop culture in a program. -- MoserINJURIESN.C. State swingman Maverick Rowan missed his fifth consecutive game due to a concussion.

According to a report from the Winnipeg Free Press, the Bombers will name Acting GM Kyle Walters to the post full time.Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool are in a good moment after the 4-0 win over Everton, but admits it was dampened by Divock Origis injury. The in-form Belgian striker, who scored Liverpools opener in their Merseyside derby win on Wednesday night, was forced off in the second half after a challenge by Ramiro Funes Mori saw the Argentine defender shown a straight red card. Talking points Analysis of a one-sided Merseyside derby Mamadou Sakho had doubled Liverpools lead in first-half stoppage time, before substitute Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho added two more for the home side after Origi was taken off on a stretcher. We are in a good moment, Klopp told Sky Sports. Thats how it is. We played football, we created chances, we could have scored much more. The goalkeeper had a finger between us and another goal and that of course was good. Jamie Carragher says Everton fans wont fall for Ramiro Funes Moris badge kiss after he was sent off for a poor challenge on Divock Origi But to be honest, I could sit here and say it was really difficult but second half it wasnt, it is like it is. But, it was really difficult for Everton. Injuries, red card, good opponent. Its not too easy then.We have only really good players. There is no player in the squad where I think why is he here? This is a really, really good team but the problem is there are a few other teams in the Premier League that are not too bad too and so you can losee each game.dddddddddddd Daniel Sturridge (right) looks at Divock Origi as the Belgian striker is stretchered off We did well and usually after 4-0 I dont know how to keep my smile out of my face but today it is pretty easy. I would like to say yes but [the injury] to Divock Origi cost me a little bit of joy. Carra on Funes Mori Defenders actions embarrassing, says Carragher Of course, the first half was a derby. Our sides passing was okay but we could have played better. Then we scored the two goals, wonderful goals, and second half the game changed completely with the red card and the injury to Divock, and they had no chance anymore.We had a lot of opportunities to score goals, their goalkeeper did a good job and its 4-0. Usually its really great, Id like to say Im 100 per cent happy but I cannot ignore the situation [with Origi].Klopp confirmed after the game that Origi had twisted an ankle ligament in the challenge but said it was too soon to tell how long he would be out for.I cant say too much, I didnt see the pictures until now but everyone I met said Oh, it was disgusting or awful, or however you want to say it. But its not broken, its a twisted ankle ligament, we have to wait now. I saw him on crutches here walking around but he had a little smile on his face so we have to see. Origi heads Liverpool in front against Everton Such a superlative performance in his first Merseyside derby was still not enough for Klopp to completely revel in victory.Beating Everton is a special thing in our situation in the table where we want to take what we can get, said Klopp. 4-0 is good, clean sheet is good, we scored nice goals, created wonderful opportunities. Everything is good, but for me its too close after the game and Im not really happy. Sorry.
