impressing coach Brad Brownell with a career-high 18 points versus A

Michael van Gerwen is the new leader of the Premier League and three players are facing a shoot-out for the last remaining play-off place. The world No 1 replaced Phil Taylor at the top of the table after an impressive 7-1 victory over James Wade on night 13 in Birmingham, which followed an opening defeat for The Power by Peter Wright.Van Gerwen assured his spot at the season-ending play-offs and Gary Anderson has virtually qualified in third place, but Adrian Lewis, James Wade and Wright are all scrapping for the final spot at The O2. MVG is MVP Michael van Gerwen only missed two darts at a double The Dutchman again underlined his status as the sports finest player after his ruthless win over Wade.He succeeded with seven out of nine darts at a double, while Wade was only afforded two darts at a finish, and wore a look of disbelief. MVG is back on top of the Premier League Speaking afterwards, Van Gerwen could not contain his delight about knocking Taylor off the summit, and the pair will renew their rivalry in Rotterdam on the closing night of the regular campaign.Nearly all Wright Peter Wright can still snatch fourth place in the table Snakebite admitted beforehand that he needed maximum points from his two matches to revive his play-off hopes and so nearly achieved this target.He only missed one double in a season-best 7-4 win over Taylor and then appeared to have Anderson on the rack when he had three darts at a double to move 6-5 up. Wright and Gary Anderson shared the points Wright would miss all three, allowing Anderson to pinch the leg, but the man with the multi-coloured mohican hit back to claim a 6-6 draw and could still squeeze into the last four. Play-off permutations James Wade can still qualify for the play-offs despite loss to Van Gerwen With just two matches remaining, Lewis, Wade and Wright will be keeping an eye on each others results as they try to snatch a place at The O2.Lewis needs only a point, but is facing daunting fixtures against his old mentor Taylor and defending champion Anderson. Remaining PL fixtures Adrian Lewis Night 14: Phil Taylor Night 15: Gary Anderson James Wade Night 14: Peter Wright Night 15 Robert Thornton Peter Wright Night 14: James Wade Night 15: R van Barneveld Wright and Wade meet next week and a win for either man could keep alive their play-off hopes ahead of the closing night of the regular campaign.Barney a beaten man Raymond van Barneveld was forced to give up on his bid to reach The O2 There will be no late charge from Raymond van Barneveld, who cannot qualify for the top four after a frustrating 7-5 defeat to Anderson. Barney fired in a superb 132 checkout while opening a 5-4 lead, but five missed darts at a double opened the door for Anderson. Van Barneveld hits a bullseye check out against Anderson Yet again, the Dutchman had allowed a result to slip away, and last years semi-finalist will look back on this campaign with regret. Ando on the up Anderson is hoping to collect back-to-back titles Andersons title defence is set to continue into the play-off night after three points from his two matches all but assured his attendance in London.The reigning world champion has not produced a consistent high standard during the season which started late due to his illness. Anderson took good for Van Barneveld But he also finished third last year and comes alive on the big stage, beating Van Gerwen in last years final to land the trophy.

PJ Dozier doesnt need to be briefed on the significance when South Carolina and Clemson square off on the basketball court.The Gamecocks sophomore grew up in Columbia and his father, Perry, and uncle, Terry, both played at South Carolina in the late 1980s.So Dozier is well-versed in what is at stake when the 22nd ranked Gamecocks (9-1) host Clemson on Wednesday.I definitely understand the importance of winning that game, Dozier said at a press conference. The next game is always the most important game we play.We know that it is a game that we have to win, not only for us for our record but for the fans as well.The Tigers (8-2) bring a six-game winning streak into the contest after notching a 67-54 win at Alabama on Saturday in their first true road contest of the season.Clemsons chances of defeating South Carolina may depend on well it defends the red-hot Dozier.The 6-foot-6 guard will be looking to reach 20 points for the fifth consecutive game. He scored a career-best 23 as the Gamecocks posted a 77-66 road win over South Florida on Saturday.PJ continues to develop into a real, real good basketball player, South Carolina coach Frank Martin said at a press conference.Doziers run has been timely as leading scorer Sindarius Thornwell (18.7 average) has missed the past three games due to a suspension for violating team rules. Thornwell will again sit out Wednesday and isnt expected to be reinstated until early January.Meanwhile, Dozier is averaging 21 points over the past four games while doing more than picking up the slack. The spurt has raised his season average to 14.5.Dozier also is making superb contributions on the defensive end while helping South Carolina limit opponents to 57.7 points and 34.6 percent shooting from the field. He leads the SEC with 24 steals and has recorded three or more on five occasions.Clemson features a solid player of its own in senior forward Jaron Blossomgame, who is averaging 17.6 points per game.Blossomgame ranks 18th in school history with 1,325 points, and needs 17 points to pass Larry Nance (1977-81), the school legend who went on to be a three-time NBA All-Star.Martiin has gotten a close look at Blossomgame during his tenure and said is it tough to deal with his tenacity.ddddddddddddWhat makes him a matchup problem is that he is a very aggressive player, Martin said. There are some guys who are multitalented who are unaggressive that are easy to deal with. Hes just very aggressive and goes after that ball. And when the ball is in his hands, he goes after the rim and those guys are hard to deal with.The Tigers arent a one-man gang as four other players are also scoring in double digits.Junior guard Gabe DeVoe and senior guard Avry Holmes are both averaging 11.2 points and share the team lead of 21 3-pointers. Junior forward Donte Grantham averages 10.8 points and sophomore point guard Shelton Mitchell is at 10.7 after impressing coach Brad Brownell with a career-high 18 points versus Alabama.He played with great poise, said Brownell, the mark of a good point guard.Senior center Sidy Djitte also is a solid contributor and is averaging 8.7 points and a team-best 10.0 rebounds.The Tigers are limiting opponents to 32.3 percent shooting from 3-point range and that could pose troubles for South Carolina guard Duane Notice.Notice, who averages 11.1 points, is a streaky shooter. The senior went 1 of 18 from the field in a three-half stretch against Seton Hall and South Florida -- including 1 of 11 from 3-point range -- before going 4-for-4 from 3-point range in the second half against South Florida to help the Gamecocks notch the comeback victory.I had the confidence and the green light to keep shooting because of the work that I put in, Notice said at a press conference. I always tell myself I just need one to go in. I feel like once one goes in, I will make every shot after that.South Carolina has won the past two meetings and four of the past six.Brownell is hoping the momentum of the Alabama win will carry over.It was big. Thats what you got to do in road games, Brownell said. Make big shots, you know the home teams going to make a run or two. ' ' '
