The 33rd Maui Invitational tips off Monday and will feature another field loaded with basketball powerhouses. The eight-team tournament will consist of schools that have a combined 14 NCAA championships, 40 Final Four appearances and 192 NCAA tournament appearances.This years field includes Oregon, Tennessee, Georgetown, Wisconsin, Oklahoma State, UConn, North Carolina and host Chaminade.The winner at Maui has gone on to become national champs four times, with UConn in 2010-11 being the most recent. North Carolina has won the tournament three times.Tennessee and Wisconsin open play at 2:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2 and WatchESPN.?The Badgers will be making their third Maui Invitational appearance, coming in third place in 2009 and finishing seventh in 1995. Wisconsin has a plus-19 margin on the boards through three games, and they enter the tournament tied as the fifth-best rebounding team in the country.But the Badgers have averaged just 24.7 points per game in the paint, which is more than only Vanderbilt among major conference teams. One reason for that is the subpar play by preseason Big Ten Player of the Year Nigel Hayes, who is averaging just 11 points per game thus far.Senior guard Bronson Koenig is off to a solid start, averaging a career-best 15.7 points per game despite shooting just 27.6 percent from beyond the arc. However, he needs just 16 points to become the 43rd player in Wisconsin history to score 1,000 points in a career.Wisconsin began the season at No. 9 in the AP top-25 poll, which was tied for the second-highest preseason ranking in school history. But after suffering an early-season loss to the now-12th-ranked Creighton Blue Jays, the Badgers have slipped to No. 16 in this weeks poll.-- Josiah TurnerMarco Scandella Jersey . Siddikur, whose previous win on the circuit came in Brunei three years ago, finished his bogey-free round with a birdie on the 18th for a total of 17-under 199. Indias Shiv Chowrasia, who has finished runner-up in this tournament twice, was in second place after a 66. Sam Reinhart Jersey . The defence is doing its part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. http://www.officialsabresfanstore.com/authentic-linus-ullmark-sabres-jersey/ . They were putting most of their energy into a record-setting offensive display. Derek Roy Jersey . John Lucas, signed as a mentor for rookie Trey Burke, showed he can score if required, scoring 12 points of his 16 points in the second quarter as Utah built an 18-point lead. Evan Rodrigues Jersey . The Dane followed up his first European Tour title last weekend with eight birdies and just a single dropped shot on Thursday for a one-stroke advantage over South Africas Allan Versfeld and Portugals Ricardo Santos.RIO DE JANEIRO -- The problems are stacking up for Kenya at the Olympics: A new doping scandal, ineligible athletes, missing plane tickets, and now bad blood between the track and field federation and the national Olympic committee.And their top athletes havent even set foot on the track in Rio de Janeiro.Athletics Kenya on Monday blamed the Kenyan Olympic committee for the travel problems that left javelin world champion Julius Yego without a plane ticket to Rio and caused other frustrated athletes, including 1,500-meter world champion Asbel Kiprop, to book their own flights and travel separately.Any confusion ... with athletes travel is solely a mistake of NOCK, AK said in a statement.The problems between the two bodies followed news on Sunday that Kenya was sending track and field team manager Michael Rotich home to face a police investigation after allegations he told undercover reporters that he could give athletes advance warning about doping tests in exchange for money.Also, Kenya was forced to withdraw its mens 4x400-meter relay team, high jumper Mathew Sawe, and 200-meter runner Carvin Nkanata from the Olympics because they werent eligible. It was discovered that the relay team and Sawe hadnt met qualifying standards, while Nkanata wasnt properly registered as Kenyan with the IOC. Nkanata travels on a U.S. passport but holds Kenyann nationality.ddddddddddddNOCK has had his papers since March, reconfirmed his travel and received his accreditation or lack of it, AK said, again blaming Olympic committee officials. Why did they not cross-check his accreditation?Yego, Kenyas first world champion in a field event, initially complained about the Olympic travel schedule given to his coach, who was only booked to be in Rio de Janeiro for four days and was due to leave before the javelin final. When Yego arrived at the airport in Kenya to depart for the Olympics this weekend, he didnt have a plane ticket. He was eventually given a temporary ticket and was allowed to travel.Kenyan track and field has also been hit hard by problems in the buildup to the Rio Games, mostly related to doping. On Sunday, there was another scandal, this time involving the manager of the track team.Rotich was ordered to return home after he was trapped in a sting by reporters from Britains The Sunday Times newspaper. The paper said Rotich offered to provide the reporters, who were posing as coaches, advance warning of doping tests in return for a 10,000 pound ($13,000) bribe.---This story has been updated to correct the first name of the runner to Carvin Nkanata not Calvin.
