He really got out in transition and hit some 3s that were key for us.Matthew Fisher-Davis led Vanderbilt (2-1) with 18 points, including four 3-pointers, and LaChance added 12, highlighted by three 3-pointers.I was definitely in a good rhythm and my teammates did a good job of pumping me up, and we do a good job of pumping each other up, LaChance said.

We left Fisher-Davis three times on rotations and he had wide-open 3s, so a lot of it was us, not them really. The overall energy wasnt how we play for whatever reason.Jonathan Wade remained hot for the Spartans with 20 points and seven rebounds. Wade scored a career-high 34 points in Tuesdays 91-55 rout of Elizabeth City State.We kind of beat ourselves tonight, Wade said.

Hes played a complete game, Drew said.

The 27-year-old Rooney has been pushing for a move since expressing his frustration to the club about his lack of playing time towards the end of last season. But both Alex Ferguson and David Moyes, who succeeded his fellow Scot as manager in May, have insisted Rooney is not for sale since he has two years left on his contract. Despite those public statements, Chelsea has maintained its pursuit of the England striker, culminating in a formal bid submitted to its Premier League rival. The London club was moved to confirm the bid to deny reports that it had offered midfielder Juan Mata or defender David Luiz as part of a 10 million pound ($15 million) offer. "Chelsea Football Club can confirm that yesterday it made a written offer to Manchester United for the transfer of Wayne Rooney," Chelsea said in a statement. "Although the terms of the offer are confidential, for avoidance of doubt ... the proposed purchase price does not include the transfer or loan of any players from Chelsea to Manchester United." Rooney also sought to leave United in 2010 but backed down after negotiating a new and improved contract with the club.dddddddddddd Back then, despite underperforming at the 2010 World Cup, Rooney was widely considered among the worlds top strikers. Now, he is no longer the No. 1 choice at United, slipping behind striker Robin van Persie at Old Trafford last season and often playing in central midfield. "He is a little bit frustrated at being taken off," Ferguson said in May when revealing Rooneys transfer request before retiring. Neither Rooney nor his management team has disputed Fergusons version of events or said the player is committed to United. Moyes wants to keep Rooney. "If for any reason we had an injury to Robin van Persie we are going to need him, and I want as many options as possible," Moyes said at the weekend. Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has also lavished praise on Rooney and said Englands 2014 World Cup hopes could be jeopardized if first-team opportunities are limited at United. "If Wayne is a second choice for Man United, then the national team will be affected," Mourinho told the BBC on Tuesday. Adding to the intrigue about Rooneys future was news that United vice chairman Ed Woodward was flying back to England early from the Australia leg of the clubs pre-season tour to conduct undisclosed transfer business.
