University of Cincinnati basketball coach Mick Cronin is a big admirer of the way Butler conducts its program.Theyre really good every year because they play the game the right way, Cronin said. They run their program the right way. They have great continuity the way they do things. They understand why theyre successful, and they stick with it from their administration on down.The No. 22 Bearcats (7-1) will face the No. 16 Bulldogs (8-1) at Hinkle Fieldhouse on Saturday at 4:30 p.m.Butler nipped host Cincinnati 78-76 last season.The approach is especially important on the court.On the floor, all the things that are hard for young kids to do that go into winning, theyre willing to do them, Cronin said. Theyre not gonna win every game, but theyre really hard to beat. Obviously, theyre gonna be a tough out at home especially.Cronin said the Bulldogs have good talent.(Andrew) Chrabascz is a great college basketball player because he does every well, not just score, Cronin said. Hes a tough matchup. They have eight guys who I think are really good players and they dont do dumb things. The guys that dribble, dribble. The guys that pass, pass and the guys that should shoot, shoot.They give themselves every chance to win by playing really smart. Im sure their coach will tell you they have to get better just like us, but they try never to make a play thats not a smart play. They play hard and physical but in a clean way.The Bulldogs are coming off a 72-71 loss at Indiana State Wednesday night. It was a loss that didnt surprise Bulldogs coach Chris Holtmann despite the 8-0 start.Weve got a long ways to go as far as playing together offensively, Holtmann said. The freshmen played like freshmen (against Indiana State). I dont care what anybody says or what the rankings are. This team is a real work in progress. There are a lot of real lessons we can take from (the Indiana State loss).Holtmann isnt sure if playing again against a tough team will be good thing or bad thing.(The Bearcats) are a very good team, Holtmann said. Well see. The schedule was made for a reason. If were going to tuck our tails and not get better after a tough game, thats on us. We have to be more tough-minded to know what is ahead of us. We have to get better in practice. That will be our challenge.Butler holds a slim 1.4 rebounding advantage over its opponents after Indiana State outrebounded Butler by eight.They just out-toughed us, said Chrabascz, who leads the team with a 5.8 rebounding average.The Bearcats are outrebounding opponents by six per game.Chrabascz, a 6-foot-7 senior forward, is averaging 10.9 points, second on the Bulldogs to junior forward Kelan Martins 17.4 scoring average.Junior forward Kyle Washington leads the Bearcats with a 17.3 scoring average, followed by sophomore swingman Jacob Evans with 15.6 points per game.

Wholesale Custom Football Jerseys If you want to be as decorated an athlete as soccer star Christen Press, you are going to have to work very hard. But she does get her dose of fun during workouts.We did this thing called Animal Flow. And its sort of like a stability dance routine where youre on all fours, and you go from one animal position to the next. So youll do like a spider, and then go into a cobra. Its similar to yoga, says Press, who was a part of the 2015 U.S champion FIFA Womens World Cup team.She took a break from training for the Rio Olympics and spoke in-depth with ESPN The Magazine for its 2016 Body Issue?about some of her non-animal related workouts that she credits with sculpting her body.Shots, shots, shotsPress mom never played soccer, but she did everything she could to help her daughter train. When she was younger, her mom got a Pelé instructional video. In the video, Pelé lined balls up and practiced shooting on-goal. Press mimicked the video and took hundreds of shots every day. To this day, shooting is one of her favorite exercises.For the love of yogaOutside of soccer, Press favorite exercise is yoga. She self-practices yoga every day and takes a class once or twice a week.Extra trainingNo matter where she is, Press has always found the opportunity to practice her skills.For me it was showing up an hour early to practice, even at 8 years old, just to play with the older teaam, or to just dribble around or juggle.dddddddddddd It was sitting on the sidelines while my sister was playing with the ball at my feet trying to do what they were doing.Press has always known the benefit of going the extra mile in her training thanks to her parents.Avoiding injuryPress has been fortunate enough to avoid injuries during her career and she says that is because of her workouts.I havent had many injuries and I know thats because I take care of my body and I do the things that I need to do to keep it strong. And Im very grateful for the way that I feel when I play. I feel very powerful. I feel fast. I feel unstoppable and thats because of my body.Focus on the gameShe says she filters negative thoughts out of her mind during games and focuses on each play at a time.I find the ball and I think, Wheres the ball going, and where do I need to go? It just puts me back in the game, and its the simplest thing, but its become sort of like my soccer mantra. I simply use the ball as my focus point and move back into position and the distracting thoughts disappear, and Im right back in the game.This summer, espnW is running stories, essays and letters on body image as part of a series called Love, My Body.
