ELCHE, Spain -- Malaga edged 10-man Elche 1-0 on Friday for its first win in nine away games this season in the Spanish league, easing the pressure on coach Bernd Schuster.
John Brooks USA Jersey . Malaga bounced back from its elimination from the Copa del Rey earlier this week to Osasuna with a much-needed victory that provisionally lifted it to the middle of the standings. Midfielder Ignacio Camacho headed in Sergio "Duda" Barbosas free kick six minutes in to score what proved to be the winner. Elche kept most of the action to Malagas final third but failed to create clear chances. It was reduced to 10 men in the 60th when defender Damian Suarez earned his second booking for a studs-first tackle on Camacho. "Im happy for the goal but happier for the three points that we really needed away from home," Camacho said. "We have to see the positive side to what happened in the Copa (del Rey). Were out, but now we need to look to move up the league table." It was promoted Elches third straight loss. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid lead the league by three points ahead of Real Madrid. Atletico hosts Levante on Saturday before Barcelona visits Getafe on Sunday, when Madrid plays at Valencia. Also in round 17, its: Villarreal vs. Sevilla, Real Betis vs. Almeria, Granada vs. Real Sociedad, Espanyol vs. Valladolid, Athletic Bilbao vs. Rayo Vallecano, and Celta Vigo vs. Osasuna.

C.J. Fair put up some like he hadnt in a while, and the Orange finished with offensive statistics that Wisconsin just doesnt allow in a 64-63 victory in the East Regional semifinals Thursday night that wasnt secure until the final buzzer. "Offensively we played very, very well and we had to play very, very well," Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. Fair finished with 15 points -- five fewer than he had in the last six games combined -- on 7-of-9 shooting. The Orange scored 11 more than the Badgers allowed on average in leading Division I. Syracuse shot 55 per cent from the field, well above the 38.5 per cent Wisconsin gave up this season, and the Orange were 5 of 9 from three-point range, much better than the 28.8 per cent the Badgers allowed. All those numbers mean the Orange (34-2) will play second-seeded Ohio State (30-7) in the regional final Saturday with a trip to New Orleans at stake. "I cant tell you how good it feels to win a game like this," Boeheim said. "This was a great, great game." And it wasnt decided until Wisconsins Jordan Taylor missed a three-pointer with three seconds left. Josh Gasser corralled the rebound but his toss toward the basket was off at the buzzer. "It was on line, and I felt like I got my legs into it," Taylor said. "I knew it was a deep three, but it felt good, and then to see it kind of come up short was kind of heartbreaking." Montreals Kris Joseph, a 75 per cent free throw shooter, had missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with 18 seconds to go with Syracuse up by a point, giving the Badgers (26-10) a chance at the victory. Joseph finished with seven points and two rebounds. Passing the ball around the perimeter of the zone but not creating much space, Wisconsin had to settle for Taylors shot. "We were just trying to get an open shot and try and make them rotate in the zone," Taylor said. "We did a little bit, but they did a good job of recovering to open guys there. They used the length that they have and kind of forced us into a tough shot, and it obviously didnt go down. So it was tough. Hats off to them." The Badgers finished 14 of 27 from three-point range but couldnt make one over the final 6 minutes after a stretch in the second half when they made six straight in as many possessions. "I think we naturally tried to move out," Boeheim said, referrring to Syracuses famed 2-3 zone.
Fabian Johnson Jersey. "But youve got to get them off their spots. We didnt do that for a stretch out there. But they have terrific ball movement, and they have five guys that can shoot. There arent that many teams like that." Scoop Jardine had 14 points for Syracuse, while Dion Waiters had 13 and Brandon Triche 11. But it was Fair who made the difference after not being a factor late in the season. The 6-foot-8 sophomore forward, the Oranges fifth-leading scorer at 8.3 points per game, was 7 for 27 from the field over a six-game stretch. The Orange had been struggling offensively as well, failing to reach 60 points three times in their last seven games. "Sometimes you just need to see the ball go in the rim," Fair said. Jared Berggren and Taylor both had 17 points for Wisconsin, which came in allowing 52.9 points per game. Syracuse reached that many points with 9 minutes to play, but there were two lead changes and two ties still to come. "It was a nailbiter, but we made some plays down the stretch and got a couple of stops," Fair said. Wisconsin, which averaged 7.7 three-pointers per game and has a season high of 15, hit its last three with 7:03 to play when Taylor gave the Badgers their final lead of the game, 59-56. Syracuse went ahead for good on a spin move by Waiters with 6:03 to play, but the lead was never more than three points. Gasser made two free throws with 31 seconds left to bring Wisconsin within 64-63. "I think that was the best game anybody has ever played against us and didnt beat us," Boeheim said. The win was No. 890 overall for Boeheim, third on the all-time list, and it was his 48th in the NCAA tournament, breaking a tie for fifth place with John Wooden. "Syracuse just has too many athletes that can do so many things, and its hard to prepare for that on the defensive end. You think youre getting things done, but youre a step behind," Badgers coach Bo Ryan said. "So we did the best we could, and I thought we played great defence. Not everybody on the court agreed with that, but I thought we played unbelievable defence for the most part. " Syracuse won again without starting centre Fab Melo, who was declared ineligible for the tournament by the school just days before the Orange opened with a shaky win over 16th-seeded North Carolina-Asheville. The Badgers were trying to reach the regional final for the first time since 2005.
