Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy is warning his players they will be in enemy territory as they finalise preparations for Sundays NRL grand final against Cronulla.Following an open training session in front of Melbourne fans the Storm flew to Sydney where Bellamy is expecting the attention, and hostility, to ramp right up.Overseeing his sixth grand final in his 14 Storm seasons, Bellamy described criticism this week of his captain Cameron Smith for alleged dirty play during their preliminary final win over Canberra as predictable and expected more to come.It doesnt matter who you play up there, if its a Sydney team youre going to cop it, Bellamy said on Wednesday.The veteran coach was unhappy about the promotional demands on his team leading up to the title decider, including an appearance at the Sydney Opera House, and said hed prefer if they could just concentrate on the game.But Bellamy said he had spoken to his young players following their win over the Raiders and told them to embrace the week, which would be the biggest of their careers, and also try to keep to their regular routines.He hoped they would listen to their leaders, skipper Cameron Smith, who has played in five grand finals and Test halfback Cooper Cronk, who will run out for his sixth.Weve got two of the most experienced guys in the competition at big games, and another three or four who have played in grand finals as well and hopefully it will rub off on them, Bellamy said.The Storm beat the Sharks 26-6 in the final round battle to claim the NRL minor premiership but Bellamy believed the scoreline flattered his team and says the ANZ Stadium decider would be much tighter.I said after the game that the Sharks had won 15 in a row during the season and youre a real quality team to do that in this competition, Bellamy said.We also had a bit of an advantage playing at home.I think the score flattered us a little bit and it was a lot closer than that.He did however rate that performance, and their qualifying win over North Queensland, as two of their best games of the year and felt they were heading into the grand final with momentum.With his team able to hold their season together despite being decimated by injury early on, Bellamy said they deserved to be playing in the grand final.I cant remember a year when weve had as many injuries and the guys have been tremendous and have really risen to the occasion.Im really proud and happy for them because I genuinely believe they deserve the opportunity theyve given themselves on Sunday night.

FULLERTON, Calif. -- There were no nerves for Nebraska guard Glynn Watson Jr. after Dayton took its first lead of the game with 16 seconds remaining, threatening to waste a strong performance in which the Cornhuskers led by as much as 14.Instead, Watson put his head down, drew a foul and hit two free throws with 8.8 seconds remaining as Nebraska beat the Flyers 80-78 in the first round of the Wooden Legacy on Thursday night.Thats his job, to win games at the right time, and thats one, Glynn, Nebraska head coach Tim Miles said while giving Watson a pat on the back.Watson finished with 20 points, and Ed Morrow Jr. added 19 points and 10 rebounds, as Nebraska improved to 4-0 for the second time in five seasons under Miles.Dayton (2-2) took its only lead on Scoochie Smiths layup to cap a 13-4 Dayton run, but they could not claim a second and final lead when a desperation pass the length of the court was batted away to end it.Nebraska celebrated a win over a team that has made the NCAA Tournament in each of the last three seasons after what seemed at times like a Dayton home game, with the Flyers bringing their pep band and mascot to Orange County.After a 16-5 run by Dayton tied it at 26, Anton Gill and Tai Webster combined to score 11 points to put Nebraska back in front by eight. Nebraska took a 40-31 lead into the locker room, and was able to maintain a comfortable lead for most of the second half.However, Charles Cooke and Xeryrius Williams combined for 23 second-half points as Dayton nearly escaped.You just knew they were going to end up in runs, and when those role guys, quite frankly, started making a whole bunch of shots, thats when you knew you had a problem on your hands, Miles said.Cooke finished with 17 points and Williams had 15 points and nine rebounds for Dayton, which shot worse from the field (38.1 percent) than it did from the 3-point line (41.7).Were a team right now that is trying to find an identity, Dayton coach Archie Miller said.dddddddddddd Right now there are certain things out there that just dont look right to me, and its not one guy. Its every guy.TURNING POINTMiller did not put the blame for the defeat on Daytons late-game play and instead pointed to the lackadaisical defense at the start, spotting Nebraska a 17-5 lead. It was the third straight game Dayton was poor from the opening tip and Miller understands that has to change to contend for the Atlantic 10 title and make a postseason run.We cant give a team 7-for-7 to start the game, Miller said. We cant give a team like St. Marys at home a 15-4 lead. We cant get down at Alabama 20-2. At the end of the day, its being ready to go from the start and ready to go on the defensive side of the ball.STAT OF THE NIGHTNebraska shot 56.9 percent from the field, becoming the first opponent to make more than 39.3 percent of their shots against Dayton this season.The fact we got the lead was amazing, Miller said.HE SAID ITWere just not rock-solid enough in any area right now to hang our hat on and say this is how we win, Miller said.BIG PICTURENebraska: The Huskers could be dancing in March. Nebraska has made the NCAA Tournament just one under Miles, but that could change if they can maintain the level of play they showed for most of the game against Big Ten opposition. Road trips to Kansas, Indiana and Maryland through Jan. 1 offer chances for signature wins.Dayton: The Flyers wont play this poorly very often. Cooke came into the game averaging 23 points per game and would not have come close to that figure if not for the late comeback attempt. Dayton rarely capitalized on 16 offensive rebounds and the defense was spotty for long stretches.UP NEXTBoth teams play a second-round game Friday night. ' ' '
