The coaching change already has relaxed the Commodores who could have a chance to reach the NCAA Tournament again if they take advantage of their nonconference schedule.---Online:AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.orgChad Thomas Browns Jersey . Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. Charlie Adam scored both of Stokes goals at Britannia Stadium either side of Robin van Persies equalizer, with a miserable day for seventh-place United capped by first-half injuries to centre halves Jonny Evans and Phil Jones that forced them off.

The No. 1-ranked Nadal tweaked his back warming up for the Australian Open final, which he lost almost four weeks ago in a major upset against Stanislas Wawrinka.

"I dont know that were close," said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. "I just think, right now, the acquisition cost just doesnt work for us right now. I dont know if I can quantify how far off or things like that that they might be but I would say we continue to have dialogue.Melbourne forward Todd Blanchfield drained eight three-pointers as United claimed a 95-83 NBL win over the Illawarra Hawks in Melbourne on Sunday.Blanchfield made all but one of his shots from beyond the arc, finishing with 27 points and six rebounds, as United overcame a slow start to take their record to 2-2.Illawarras defensive pressure stood out in the early going, big men Andrew Ogilvy and Michael Holyfield dominating the glass and providing the Hawks shooters with open shots.Import guard Marvelle Harris showed the Hawks defensive intent with a game-high five steals to go along with 20 points, while Ogilvy was impressive at both ends of the floor.But once Melbournes offence began to gel, led by Boomers shooting guard Chris Goulding (19 points, seven assists), there was little the Hawks could do to stop them.United led by a solitary point at halftime but piled on 29 points in a dominant third term.Much of that was down to Blanchfield, who worked hard to find space and seemingly couldnt miss from deep.Melbournes defensive efforts were much improved in the second half too, personified by Cedric Jackson sprinting the floor to block a Harris layup in one of the plays of the game halfway througgh the final term.ddddddddddddTai Wesley chipped in 10 points off the bench, while 206cm power forward Majok Majok (nine points, 11 rebounds) impressed with his work on the low post.Melbourne host the Brisbane Bullets on Thursday, while the 1-2 Hawks will travel to Perth to face the reigning champion Wildcats on Friday.Hawks coach Rob Beveridge said his side shot poorly from beyond the arc and gave up too many open looks to Melbourne, who did a far better job of capitalising.Its pretty disappointing that they were able to do that, he said.That was the difference, purely. They shoot 70 per cent, we shoot 24 - theres the game right there. We lose by 12 and it could have been a lot worse.Melbourne coach Dean Demopoulos said it was a much-improved performance from the highly-fancied United but cautioned that the team remained a work in progress.We werent quite as bad as people thought the first couple of games and were not quite as good as some people might think now, he said.Were not drowning anymore, were sea level - for now, anyway - and we just want to build on it.
