Butler coach Chris Holtmann insisted his team didnt linger on the upset victory over then-No. 9 Indiana University on Saturday.We pretty quickly turned the page and are moving on to a pretty good Vermont team, Holtmann said. This is one of the better teams well play in the non-conference and we need to be ready. This is a really solid group. Our focus has been on improving and getting ready for Vermont.The No. 13 Bulldogs (10-1) host Vermont (8-4) at 7 p.m. on Wednesday night at Hinkle Fieldhouse. The two teams have never met before.Holtmann said the Catamounts have a well-coached veteran crew.Theyre skilled, they spread you out, Holtmann said. They really make you work. Its going to be a challenge for us. I think our guys are aware of that.The Catamounts beat Eastern Michigan on Saturday without junior forward Payton Henson, who is sidelined with a lower-body injury. Henson, who averages a team-high 13 points per game, will miss the Butler game, too, Vermont coach John Becker said.Anthony Lamb, a 6-6 freshman forward, scored a career-high 25 points in Hensons absence. Lamb is second on the team with an 11.4 scoring average, followed by Ernie Duncan at 10.3 per game. Duncan is from Evansville, Indiana, and is one of four players from Indiana on the roster.So its a game their families can see, said Becker, whose team played at Purdue last season.Vermont returns the majority of its production from last seasons team.Were a more experienced team, Becker said. Here at Vermont, weve had eight consecutive 20-win seasons and eight consecutive postseason tournaments. Were picked to win the league again. We play a very, very competitive schedule. We lost at Providence. We lost to Houston by one point. We lost at (No. 22) South Carolina. We lost a heartbreaker to Northeastern, who beat Michigan State (Sunday). Were toughening up playing these good teams.The 8-4 start is the best in my six years. Were playing well and we hope we can hang around against a really good Butler team. Theyre very well coached and play the right way. Kelan Martin can score the ball. They shoot the ball well. They make the right play and are unselfish.Becker said he has been watching Butler top scorers Martin (18.6 points per game) and Andrew Chrabascz (11.3 points per game) for a long time.We recruited Chrabascz before he became a high major player because hes from New England, Becker said. I got to see Martin play (in AAU) a lot when we saw Ernie Duncan.Martin was named the Big East Player of the Week after scoring 28 points against Indiana.Kamar Baldwin, a 6-foot guard, was named Big East Freshman of the Week after scoring 14 points against the Hoosiers.Hes got a high basketball IQ and that helps him, Holtmann said of Baldwin. He wants to be good. Hes kind of a natural scorer. What weve seen is hes had some terrific moments and hes had some moments where he looks like a freshman. Ive had to say, He is a freshman. Hes not a junior. Hell continue to have those moments.Guard play has been solid for the Bulldogs in recent games.A lot of people have asked how we moved on after losing (departed seniors) Roosevelt Jones and Kellen Dunham, Holtmann said. Those guys have done a good job handling it by committee. Weve had different guys step up.

Air Max 270 React Pas Cher Femme OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta returned to practice Saturday after missing 32 days with a fractured finger on his right hand.Pittas return is even more significant considering the Ravens lost tight end?Benjamin Watson to a season-ending Achilles injury last week.In Saturdays practice, Pitta showed no problems catching passes from Joe Flacco. The reason Pitta remained out so long was the concern he could reinjure the finger.Pitta is looking to play his first regular-season game since 2014. He has only played seven games over the previous three seasons after fracturing his hip in 2013 annd 2014.ddddddddddddRavens coach John Harbaugh expects Pitta to play in the Sept. 11 opener against the Bills.Its a good sign, Harbaugh said after Saturdays practice. He looked fine today. Hes got to get his timing back and work the rust off. Hes back today and hell be back all next week and expect him to be ready to go.In addition to Pitta, the Ravens returned four other injured players: nose tackle Brandon Williams, guard John Urschel, tight end Maxx Williams and safety Kendrick Lewis.
