BATON ROUGE, La. Kris Dunn Jersey . -- Antonio Blakeney scored 26 points as LSU defeated Southern Mississippi 78-61 on Tuesday.Blakeney, who missed nine of his 11 field goal attempts in the Tigers season-opener against Wofford, made 9 of 14 from the field, including 3-of-3 3-pointers.LSU (2-0) took a 12-point lead into halftime. Southern Miss scored the first eight points of the second half to make it 37-33 but Blakeney scored five points during a 13-5 run that made it 50-38 with 13:14 left and the Golden Eagles trailed by double figures the rest of the way.I come out and be aggressive, whether it is taking a shot, passing the ball or getting a rebound, Blakeney said. Its key for my teammates to space the floor, believing in me to make shots. We have guys who can do things offensively and defensively. We have no one who cannot do a certain thing.Brandon Sampson scored 11 points while Wayde Sims and Duop Reath added 10 points apiece for LSU. The Tigers shot 54 percent from the field, including 9 of 16 from 3-point range.USM was excellent in terms of its speed and athleticism, LSU coach Johnny Jones said. They were able to drive the ball to the rim and they hit some early shots on the perimeter. We were glad to go in with the halftime lead. We did a good job holding them to under 40 percent shooting in the first half.Quinton Campbell led Southern Miss (1-1) with 14 points. Michael Ramey added 13 points and Tim Rowe scored 11. The Golden Eagles, who shot just 39 percent, were 4 of 24 (16.7 percent) from beyond the arc.I cant be disappointed in our effort, Southern Miss coach Doc Sadler said. We get it to five (40-35) and weve got a chance. Then, we give them two straight opportunities for easy baskets. We were going to have to make some 3-point shots. We missed an awful lot of 3-pointers, open shots. Thats where they beat us.BIG PICTURELSU: For the fourth time in Johnny Jones five seasons as coach, the Tigers have won their first two games of the season. LSUs best start under Jones came in his first year when it began 6-0.USM: The rebuilding job for Golden Eagles coach Doc Sadler is going to take some time. Southern Miss has won just 12 times in Sadlers first 54 games. The Golden Eagles one victory this season came against Tougaloo, a NAIA team.FILLING UP THE STAT SHEETOnly twice last season did Blakeney score more than 26 points in a game. He scored 32 points against Florida and 31 points against Mississippi State. Blakeney made more than nine field goals just once last season: 11 against Mississippi State. He had a career-best six assists and grabbed five rebounds Tuesday night.TOUGH NIGHTSouthern Mississippis Raheem Watts had 15 points and nine rebounds in the opener against Tougaloo. LSU kept Watts under control as he finished with only nine points and four rebounds. He was 4 of 16 from the field, including 0-for-7 on 3-pointers.HOT-SHOOTING STARTLSU has shot higher than 50 percent from the field in each of its first two games. The Tigers made 52 percent of their field goal attempts in the opener against Wofford and 54 percent Tuesday night. LSUs 3-point shooting was more accurate against the Golden Eagles as it made 56 percent. The Tigers connected on only 29 percent of their 3-points against Wofford. LSU had back-to-back games of 50 percent shooting on four occasions last season.UP NEXTLSU: The Tigers will go for a sweep of their season-opening home stand when they play host to North Florida on Friday.USM: The Golden Eagles will return home for a game against Division II Union (Tenn.) on Friday. Kris Dunn Womens Jersey . LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St. Kris Dunn Bulls Jersey . The veteran safety was a starter for the Bengals from 2008-2012. He totaled 41 tackles and three interceptions while starting all but four of the 13 games he played last season. http://www.nbachicagobullsonline.com/kris-dunn-bulls-jersey/. Nigeria beat surprise package Ethiopia 2-0 in the second leg of their playoff for a comfortable 4-1 aggregate victory. Victor Moses converted a 20th-minute penalty after an Ethiopian handball, and Victor Obinna made certain of Nigerias place in Brazil with his powerful free kick in the 82nd at UJ Esuene Stadium. CHICAGO -- The St. Louis Blues knocked the Chicago Blackhawks out of the playoffs last season with a one-goal victory in Game 7 of the Western Conference quarterfinals.Now, the Blues are back in Chicago to open the season against their division rivals.Starting off against St. Louis, its a good reminder for us to not forget what we went through and how we went down in Game 7, Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews said. Theyll be hungry, too. Obviously, both teams want to prove themselves again.Theres obviously a long way to go before we get back to playoff hockey again, but nonetheless, these games are always going to be important.And intense.In last years seven-game playoff series, six games were decided by a single goal. The same held true for three of the teams five meetings during the regular season. Both teams topped 100 points during the regular season, but neither achieved their ultimate goal as Chicago was bounced in the first round of the playoffs and the San Jose Sharks eliminated the Blues in the conference finals.This time around, some familiar faces will not be present for the rivalry. Former Blues captain David Backes signed a free-agent deal with the Boston Bruins, and St. Louis promoted defenseman Alex Pietrangelo to wear the C on his sweater.Meanwhile, Blues goaltender Jake Allen will assume a clear-cut No. 1 role in net after the team shipped goaltender Brian Elliott to the Calgary Flames.Allen went 26-15-3 with a 2.35 goals-against average and a .920 save percentage in 47 games during the 2015-16 campaign. He exited the Blues final preseason game because of an apparent injury but said he felt fine heading into the season opener.A couple days off was nice just to get back to 100 percent and ready to go, Allen told NHL.com. I knew in the back of my mind that I should be good to go on Wednesday. It was just doing the proper steps to be ready.Blues cooach Ken Hitchcock decided to return for a final season behind the bench. Lauri Markkanen White Jersey. His successor already has been named: former Minnesota Wild coach Mike Yeo, who will serve as Hitchcocks assistant this season before taking over next season.The Blackhawks said goodbye to several key contributors during the offseason, including feisty forward Andrew Shaw (traded to Montreal) and young playmaker Teuvo Teravainen (traded to Carolina). Top-six forward Andrew Ladd left as a free agent to sign with the New York Islanders.Veteran defenseman Brian Campbell, who won a Stanley Cup championship with the Blackhawks in 2010, is back with the Blackhawks on a one-year deal. He will provide depth and experience on the blue line, which also will feature newcomer Michael Kempny.Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville is notorious for changing his line combinations at a moments notice, but look for Toews to anchor the teams top line to start the season. He will be joined by Richard Panik on the left wing and Marian Hossa on the right wing.The second line contains even more firepower as left winger Artemi Panarin and right winger Patrick Kane will try to replicate last seasons dominance alongside center Artem Anisimov.Goaltender Corey Crawford is back in net for Chicago and is expected to start against the Blues.St. Louis likely will counter with left winger Robby Fabbri, center Paul Stastny and right winger Alexander Steen on its top scoring line. Next will be the combination of left winger David Perron, center Jori Lehtera and right winger Vladimir Tarasenko.Toews said he and his teammates embraced the challenge of facing St. Louis in the seasons first game.We might as well get right into it, Toews said.
