Prispevek Can McIlroy claim another Dubai victory? 
ATLANTA -- Coach Mark Fox is counting on a win that looked ugly on the court to eventually sparkle on Georgias resume.Yante Maten overcame a slow start to score 16 points and Georgia rolled to a 60-43 win over Georgia Tech on Tuesday night.Georgia Tech is rebuilding under first-year coach Josh Pastner and is expected to finish close to the bottom of the Atlantic Coast Conference standings. Even so, Fox insisted it was an important game for his Bulldogs, and not just because of the state rivalry.For us, an ACC game on the road will look good on our resume, Fox said. It was a big game for us.It was the Bulldogs first win at Georgia Tech since 2010 and their second straight win in the rivalry following four straight for Georgia Tech.J.J. Frazier scored 11 of his 15 points in the second half of what he said was a great team win for the Bulldogs.For me, its just a special moment, Frazier said. To get our first road win at Tech sure feels good.Georgia (8-3) kept its lead in double figures most of the second half. With less than 3 minutes remaining, Georgia fans in the sellout crowd began barking and chanting UGA!Maten had 11 second-half points, giving him 26 consecutive games in double figures.Georgia Tech (6-4) took its only lead at 8-7.Fraziers floater started a 9-0 Georgia run and he sank a 3-pointer to open the second half.Pastner said the Yellow Jackets couldnt overcome the cold shooting of Quinton Stephens, who was scoreless while missing each of his nine shots from the field, and Tadric Jackson, who was held to five points, about seven below his average.Its hard for us when Tadric and Quentin are a combined 2 for 14, Pastner said.Ben Lammers led the Yellow Jackets with 10 points, well below his average of 15.3. Josh Okogie had eight points and eight rebounds.BIG PICTUREGeorgia: The Bulldogs led 27-18 at halftime despite having only a combined nine points from Maten and Frazier. The first-half struggles revealed the need for the Bulldogs to develop complementary scoring. Derek Ogbeide had 11 points, including 10 in the first half, but he had little scoring help in the opening 20 minutes.Georgia Tech: The Yellow Jackets made only 1 of 10 3-pointers and shot only 34.6 percent (18 of 52) overall. It was Georgia Techs second loss to a Southeastern Conference team, following an 81-58 loss at Tennessee on Dec. 3.SECOND-CHANCE POINTS ARE KEYGeorgia outscored Georgia Tech 19-2 on second-chance points while holding a 13-5 advantage on offensive rebounds.They kicked our butt on the offensive glass, no question about that, Pastner said.FOOTBALL REWINDOne of the biggest cheers from the home fans came during a second-half break when highlights of Georgia Techs 28-27 football win on Nov. 26 were shown on the video board.SELLOUTThe attendance was 8,600 for Georgia Techs first home sellout of the season -- possibly contributing to the Yellow Jackets poor start.I think anytime theres a sellout crowd for a game like this, youre going to have a little bit of jitters, Lammers said. We just need to settle down quicker.Pastner said the atmosphere is what he hopes will become more common for home games -- minus the Georgia fans.UP NEXTAfter making a 90-minute drive to Atlanta, Georgia will make an unusual trip to southeast Michigan to play Oakland University on Friday.Georgia Tech will play its third straight home game when it plays Wofford on Thursday night.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Womens Nuggets Jerseys .

The world No 3 has previously referred to the city as like being a second home, with McIlroy having won more of his 19 professional titles in Dubai than any other worldwide.McIlroy opened his campaign with a tied-third finish at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship, but heads to Dubai hoping to follow on from two wins in the city during 2015. How has McIlroy become the king of Dubai? We look back at his four victories…2009 Dubai Desert ClassicAfter almost letting a considerable lead slip during the final day, McIlroy held on to take a wire-to-wire victory and win his first professional title. McIlroys first professional title came in Dubai in 2009 The-then 19-year-old set the early pace with an opening-round 64, before a four-under 68 maintained the Northern Irishmans one shot cushion.That slender advantage over Louis Oosthuizen doubled on Saturday to move McIlroy two clear, before an impressive run of birdies around the turn on Sunday opened up a six-stroke cushion with six holes to play.McIlroy then stuttered over the closing stretch, with three dropped shots in as many holes leaving the teenager just one clear of Justin Rose heading to the last, where a close-range par proved just about enough. 2012 DP World Tour ChampionshipWith a maiden Race to Dubai title already safely secured, McIlroy broke the European Tours season-earnings record by ending his year with another victory. Four wins in nine starts late on in 2012 A week on from missing the cut in Hong Kong, McIlroy started strongly by adding a 67 to an opening-round 66 to share the 36-hole lead with Luke Donald and Marc Warren.The world No 1 recovered from a first hole bogey on Saturday to card a back nine 31 and go in to Sunday alongside Donald, where McIlroy bounced back from a frustrating front nine in some style.  Justin Roses birdie-filled 62 had bolstered his chances of spoiling McIlroys party, but the Northern Irishman finished with five straight gains to claim a two-shot triumph and a fifth worldwide title of 2012. 2015 Dubai Desert ClassicHaving finished runnner-up in Abu Dhabi a fortnight earlier, McIlroy barely needed to get out of second gear during the final day to claim his first victory of the season.dddddddddddd McIlroys three shot win in Dubai last year was his first of four victories during 2015 The then world No 1 followed an opening round 66 with a birdie-filled 64 to take a one-shot advantage in to the weekend, but stormed clear of the rest of the field with a flying start to Moving Saturday.Five birdies from his opening eight holes moved McIlroy six clear, before he survived a back-nine stutter to stay bogey-free and take a four-stroke lead in to the final round.McIlroy admitted to being in cruise control during Sunday where he played far less aggressively than he had during the previous three rounds, completing a three-shot win with a final round 70. 2015 DP World Tour ChampionshipAn injury-plagued season didnt prevent McIlroy continuing his fine Dubai record and ending 2015 as European No 1 for the third time in four years. McIlroy ended the year as European No 1 for a third time in four seasons The world No 3 went in to the final event of the season just 1,618 points ahead of nearest challenger Danny Willett, but ensured he would retain his Race to Dubai crown with a narrow victory in a season-finale.McIlroy found himself four adrift of midway pacesetter Andy Sullivan after successive 68s, but seven birdies in an 11-hole stretch around the turn booked the Northern Irishman a place in the final group to tee off on Sunday.A topsy-turvy final day saw Sullivan briefly go three clear, before McIlroy responded with a string of birdies to move two shots clear of the Englishman. The bogey of his career at the 17th saw McIlroy recover from finding the water to drain a 30-foot putt and head to the last with a one-shot lead, where a par was enough to take the title.  [list=]Can McIlroy claim another Dubai victory?[/list] Watch the Dubai Desert Classic throughout the week live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf Also See: Best of McIlroy in 2015 McIlroys Race to Dubai victory Rory relishes Spieth rivalry Golf live on Sky Sports 4 Wholesale Jerseys 2020 Cheap NFL Jerseys Throwback Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Hoodies Wholesale Black NFL Jerseys Discount Jerseys ' ' '
