SEATTLE -- For the second straight season, all the attention for Washington is on a freshman.Unlike last year when it was a group of freshmen Washington relied on, this season its a singular freshman that could end up being the reason the Huskies get back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2011.No pressure Markelle Fultz.In the country, I think hes one of the best (freshmen) coming in, Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said.How far Washington goes this season will largely depend on Fultz, regarded as the most talented freshman to ever walk onto the Washington campus. He comes with buzz and expectations that hell be a potential top five pick if he decides to pursue the NBA after his freshman season. Hes a 6-foot-4 guard with the handle and vision to be a point guard, but the scoring savvy to carry a team offensively.Fultz is entering a unique situation with the Huskies. They are five years removed from their last NCAA trip with increased heat on Romar for the lengthy absence despite a continued pipeline of talent that last season included Marquese Chriss and Dejounte Murray, who both left after their freshman seasons to become first-round NBA picks.Talent is not Washingtons problem. Molding that talent into a unit able to find enough success on the court has been.Thats what Fultz steps into. There are expectations for him to prove hes worthy of the hype. And there are expectations that he will help his team return to the NCAAs.I dont even think about the NBA, Fultz said. I think when people play like they already made it, they dont play as hard as they can possibly play. They just think everybody is supposed to respect them, they dont have to play defense, stuff like that. I play to win, each play, each possession. I hate losing.Surrounding Fultz will be a talented lineup but one devoid of true stars. The loss of Murray, Chriss and senior Andrew Andrews took away 50.7 points per game from last season. Fultz will fill some of that, but others like Matisse Thybulle, Dominic Green, Noah Dickerson and Malik Dime need to transition from being role players into legitimate scorers.Heres what else to watch with the Huskies, who open Nov. 11 versus Yale:DO IT ALL: Thybulle was an athlete as a freshman, asked to play defense, grab rebounds and occasionally contribute offensively. His defense will continue to be the priority because of his length and quickness that make him a challenging matchup for most guards. But the scoring will need to increase. Thybulle was Washingtons second-best 3-point shooter last season, hitting 36.6 percent.FRESHMAN WALL: Learning the college game was a struggle for Dickerson. At times he was an unorthodox force underneath, giving the Huskies a needed inside presence. At other times, he was lost and confused defensively, often finding himself on the bench in foul trouble.Dickerson has dropped between 15 and 20 pounds from last season and hopes to have improved quickness thatll help keep him out of foul trouble.GREEN MACHINE: No one received more offseason praise for improvement than Green. He showed scoring potential off the bench at times as a freshman, but also a penchant for poor shot selection and shaky defense. That must improve this season with Green being counted on as a likely starter on the wing.NEW TO TOWN: Among Washingtons newcomers, the most help should come on the front line. Junior transfer Matthew Atewe and freshman Sam Timmins are not new to the program. Atewe sat out last season after transferring from Auburn, while Timmons enrolled in school last winter but did not play. Both bring size and depth to the Huskies frontcourt.SCHEDULING: Washington does not face the most strenuous non-conference schedule, meaning the Huskies must make the most of their few marquee games. Most notable is a Dec. 7 showdown at Gonzaga, the resumption of a four-year series between the in-state foes. Yerry Mina Jersey . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance. Juan Guillermo Cuadrado Jersey . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over . http://www.nationalcolombiafootball.com/carlos-valderrama-colombia-jersey/ . Emery skated the length of the ice and fought an unwilling Holtby during the third period of the Flyers 7-0 loss Friday night in Philadelphia. He was given 29 penalty minutes, including a game misconduct. But Emery did not face even a disciplinary hearing with NHL senior vice president of player safety Brendan Shanahan because rules 46. Stefan Medina Colombia Jersey . The (11-11-4) Jets are seventh in the Central Division with 26 points. Fifth place Dallas and sixth-seeded Nashville also have 26 points, but the Stars have three games in hand on Winnipeg while Nashville has two. Roger Martinez Jersey . The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL. Ticket sales at International Speedway Corporation tracks dropped 8.3 percent from March through May, but company executives dont expect that trend to continue through the end of the year.The ISC 2016 second-quarter financial results include NASCAR weekends at six tracks -- Phoenix, Auto Club (California), Martinsville, Talladega, Richmond and Kansas -- as well as motorcycle events at Daytona and an IndyCar race at Phoenix. ISC reported that the IndyCar race at Phoenix -- a new event -- took in approximately $700,000 in ticket revenue. Without that race, ISC would have had a 10.4 percent drop in ticket sales from March through May. When including its January and February events at Daytona, ISCs ticket revenues are down 2.3 percent for the year.The financial results were somewhat expected, as ISC had warned in April of weakening ticket sales. ISC president John Saunders, speaking to financial analysts in a conference call, said the consistent strong racing, youth pricing initiatives and tracks creating themes for their weekends -- such as the Darlington throwback weekend that features paint schemes reminiscent of yesteryear -- should help with ticket sales.We feel pretty good where were at, Saunders said. Hopefully the racing will continue to be the high quality as it has been all year long with such close finishes.Saunders said the June event at Michigan also was down as far as ticket revenues. Daytonas race last weekend was up from 2015, as exxpected, considering only 50,000 seats of Daytonas new 101,500-seat grandstand were available.dddddddddddd ISC expects to at least match its admissions revenue for races next month at Watkins Glen and Michigan, while advance ticket sales are slightly down for its eight races from September through November, Saunders said.The average ticket price for a Sprint Cup ticket bought at its six races from March through May was $72.09, down 3 percent from a year ago, Saunders said. The average ticket bought in 2016, when including its Daytona events in February, was $101.64, up 7 percent.ISC recorded a $41.7 million profit for the first six months of its fiscal year, helped by an $8.3 million after-tax profit of sale of land it had purchased in hopes of putting a track on Staten Island. It says its profits from core operations are up 1.3 percent, thanks in part to an increase in NASCAR television rights fees.?ISC reported operating income of $108.2 million through May 2016 from the NASCAR television deal, up 4.5 percent from this time a year ago.The France family, which owns and operates NASCAR, owns 72 percent of the voting stock in ISC, which has 20 Sprint Cup events at its 12 tracks. The other major public track-operating company, Speedway Motorsports Inc., is expected to announce its midyear results in about four weeks. ' ' '
