EVANSTON, Ill. -- Bryant McIntoshs early season shooting slump finally ended.McIntosh scored 19 of his 23 points in the second half to lead Northwestern to a 65-58 victory over Wake Forest on Monday night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.McIntosh struggled in the first half on 2-of-8 shooting, but caught fire midway through the second, hitting 8-for-8 from the field for 19 points after the 12:02 mark. His 3 with 1:02 left gave the Wildcats (5-2) a 61-56 lead.McIntosh was shooting just 35 percent from the field coming into the game.I was going through a struggle where the ball just wasnt falling and it was nice to see it finally go in. Coach (Chris Collins) always was telling me this week that the law of averages will come out. Maybe there is a little jump in the averages, said McIntosh.John Collins had 12 points and 16 rebounds and Keyshawn Woods added 12 points for Wake Forest (5-2).Woods 3 cut the Northwestern lead to 61-58 with 30.3 seconds left, but Sanjay Lumpkin scored four straight points to finish the game off for the Wildcats.I thought with three minutes to go in the game, we were right there. Northwestern didnt let us make enough plays to win the game and they made the plays down the stretch, said Wake Forest coach Danny Manning.Scottie Lindsey added 12 points and Lumpkin finished with 10 points and seven rebounds for Northwestern.Lumpkins defense limited the 6-10 Collins in the second half.To see the plays Sanjay Lumpkin made by guarding John Collins the last 10 minutes of the game by giving up six inches, tons of weight, he wouldnt let him touch the ball. Sanjay Lumpkin was magnificent tonight in his own way, said Collins.McIntosh had to leave the game early in the second half after taking a shot to the face. After being tended to on the sideline he returned to ignite a 6-0 Northwestern run.Im really proud of my team tonight. That was kind of a good ole fashioned fist fight, in my opinion, said Collins.Trailing 42-38, McIntosh scored the games next six points to give the Wildcats a 44-42 lead with 11:01 in the second half.BIG PICTUREWake Forest: The Demon Deacons began a stretch on Monday where they play four of their five opponents on the opposing teams home court.Northwestern: After not being able to close out Notre Dame in the final seconds last week, the Wildcats bounced back with a win over another power five opponent. Last week, they defeated Texas, which was ranked No. 22 at the time.HOOSIERSAfter taking an elbow to his face McIntosh had a flashback to one of his favorite movies. I think my favorite part is when I came out. Im a big Hoosiers fan, obviously, because Im from Indiana. I heard coach, `patch him up, patch him up. And for whatever reason it took me back to the movie Hoosiers, said McIntosh.STAY IN THE GAMEManning wants to see his, big man, Collins stay out of foul trouble.He could break out a little bit more if he stayed out of foul trouble. But Johns an athletic kid. Last year, in the minutes that he played, his production was really high. He gets a lot of things down out there on the court. The thing were trying to stress to him is defensive position, said Manning.UP NEXTWake Forest travels to Richmond on Saturday.

Hazard cut in from the left and scored with a swerving right-footed shot for ninth goal of the season, which proved to be enough for the victory despite Chelseas forwards again lacking a cutting edge up front. Odell Beckham Jr Giants Jersey . I cant pinpoint a date, but I do remember a player from my youth. Brian Downing was with the Chicago White Sox at a time when I listened to every game I possibly could on the radio. That particular season the late great Harry Caray was calling the White Sox games. CHICAGO -- Nearly 4,000 fans gathered at the historic Chicago Theatre for the first League of Legends World Championship quarterfinal showdown. Before the matches started, the North American fans were chanting for Americas last hope, Cloud9, the remaining team from the United States. But the fan-favorite wasnt the actual favorite, as South Koreas Samsung Galaxy took to the stage.Led by Kang Ambition Chan-yong, Samsung Galaxy went on to crush Cloud9, despite the latters occasional early game advantages. At the focal point of the team was Lee Crown Min-ho and Park Ruler Jae-hyuk, who both had an impressive series through a number of champions.The victory left the crowd close to silent, with a small amount of cheers.Were happy that we won, obviously, Crown told ESPN. I feel that I need to keep practicing so we can perform even better in the semifinals. I really cant grasp the feeling of joy right now. I think, going forward, if we win the future matches, Ill feel that more. I just want to practice hard and try to perform even better in the future stages. Even if we lose, I want to show the fans that were a really worthy team.With the win, Samsung Galaxy will meet the winner of H2K Gaming and Albus Nox Luna. Albus Nox, who has had a storybook run at Worlds, wasnt favorited coming into their quarterfinal match.Its uncertain how the game is going to unfold, he explained. My wish is that H2K will win and meet us at the semifinals, because Im really looking forward to playing against Ryu. I cant really think about [playing against Ryu] right now, I cant imagine how its going to unfold, but I think itll be okay.But before making it this far, South Korean fans regarded Samsung Galaxy with ambivalence after they ended KT Rolsters journey to Worlds. I think it was pretty obvious we would [be] rated as thhe underdog amongst the Korean teams, because our performance wasnt as good as the other teams and our position wasnt really up there yet, Crown said.dddddddddddd I dont really care too much about what people think, Im just trying to do my best and really just keep going. I think thats what has kept us winning so far, so thats what well try to do for the future.Looking ahead, Crown says he wants to face a rival if his team makes it to the finals in Los Angeless Staples Center. Id like to meet SK Telecom T1 in the finals and the reason is [Lee Faker Sang-hyeok], whos the best player in the world, Crown explained. And if we are able to defeat them, Im able to beat the best and become the best. Even if I lose, I will identify room for improvement. I just want to face the best.He says Faker presents a new challenge if they meet in the mid lane in the finals.I think Ill be a little nervous [if I face Faker] and also, sort of lost in my confidence, Crown continued. Also, Faker in each of his movements, he does a lot of psychological pressure and stuff. Thats going to be really tough, but Im looking forward to having a lot of fun.If they make it that far, Samsung will have a chance to become the second franchise to win two World Championships, with Samsung White taking the title in 2014. That would allow them join the list of two-time winners alongside SK Telecom T1.Its definitely a low possibility [for us to win Worlds] for sure, Crown said. But its not zero. Its at least 0.1 percent, but Im willing to give it a shot. If we make it to the finals, we might lose, but we still have a shot and I just really want to practice hard, but there will have to be some luck as well. ' ' '
