PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas -- This time VCU built on its halftime lead.Justin Tillman scored a season-high 17 points to help VCU beat LSU 85-74 on Friday in the fifth-place game at the Battle 4 Atlantis, a win coming two days after the Rams blew a halftime lead in the opening-round loss to No. 20 Baylor.JeQuan Lewis scored 19 for the Rams (5-1), who shot 58 percent after halftime. VCU pushed a 40-33 halftime lead into a double-digit lead about 5 minutes into the second half and maintained a comfortable margin the rest of the way.I think we got off to a better start the second half, VCU coach Will Wade said. By the first media (timeout) wed expanded the lead by just a point but we hadnt given any ground like we had in the Baylor game.In that one, the Rams led 36-28 before losing 71-63.We reminded them of that at half, Wade said.Tillman, a 6-foot-7 junior, had missed two straight games due to a left foot injury before coming to the Bahamas. He saw limited work against Baylor, but had 13 rebounds in Thursdays win against St. Johns and followed that with a strong scoring day.He finished 8 of 9 from the floor while also pulling down eight rebounds.I had to get back into the game and just start picking it up, game by game, Tillman said.Antonio Blakeney and Skylar Mays each scored 14 for the Tigers (4-2), who shot 49 percent but couldnt keep the Rams within reach after halftime.I thought once we got in halfcourt sets, we did a decent job of defending, LSU coach Johnny Jones said. But when we were turning the ball over, it was very quick, easy scoring opportunities for them and they fed off that. We had entirely too many turnovers in the second half.BIG PICTURELSU: This was the second double-digit loss for LSU in three games in Atlantis, going back to a 35-point loss to Wichita State in Wednesdays opener. The Tigers trailed by as many as 19 in this one, while their lone win here came Thursday against Old Dominion.We know we can take valuable lessons from this that they can compete at a certain level, Jones said. Now weve got to put things together: taking care of the basketball, making sure were rebounding and doing the things we need to and being able to execute our offense at a high level.VCU: The Rams lost their Atlantis opener to Baylor -- the eventual champion -- but bounced back with two straight wins to take some positive momentum back to the state of Virginia.I thought we got better as we were here, Wade said.TIP-INSLSU: LSU committed 10 of its 18 turnovers after halftime. ... Duop Reath scored 13 points. ... LSU finished with a 36-33 rebounding advantage. ... Junior guard Jayln Patterson earned his second straight start and had seven assists.VCU: VCU had 14 of its 19 points off turnovers after halftime. ...

There is a distinct calm in Rajkot. The new stadium is a fair distance outside the city, on the highway to Jamnagar. A grand structure in the middle of nowhere; remote enough that as the players practise in the nets, over the wall behind them, a herd of buffaloes shuffle about, slowly, contentedly, peacefully. Virat Kohli punch off drives off throwdowns from Anil Kumble on one side. From the other, a big old moo sounds.There has been a smattering of people at the ground every day since the Indian team has been in town. Kids mostly, phones shooting out of pockets faster than guns did in the old westerns.Century lage, na? Arvind Pujara chuckles, and says, Why should he stop there? when asked how much hed like Cheteshwar to score a ton on his home ground in its first Test. It will be the first time the father will watch his son bat live.There is another player for whom this would be special. The portraits of him in the stadium make careful note of the twirl in his moustache. The Rajputana twirl. Ravindra Jadeja has already displayed the sword celebration at Lords, the home of cricket. Plenty will be wishing to see him do so again, at the home of his cricket.He learnt the game in Jamnagar, a few kilometres down the road, becoming a fine addition to the towns heritage of left-arm spin. One of their residents, Vinoo Mankad, helped India to their first Test win. Jadeja would be expected to follow suit and win Rajkots first Test too.Considering the citys history, its almost disarming to see how quiet things are. A few people were at the airport when India arrived. A few at the ground to catch a glimpse of the men theyve only seen on TV or on paper. Life simply goes on. Perhaps the people have already been spoilt. They have two entire tournaments named after men with roots in Saurashtra. The Ranji Trophy - for Raanjitsinhji who also gave cricket the leg glance.dddddddddddd And the Duleep Trophy - for his nephew Duleepsinhji. Their domestic team has been active since the 1950s and were the runners-up last season. This is just five little days of international cricket.There is nervous energy among the administrators though. The Saurashtra Cricket Association president Niranjan Shah has made a few trips out to the middle, to check on the pitch, and then other proceedings. On Wednesday, he would have completed the ultimate achievement. He has invited the states chief minister to watch the game. Arrangements have been made to felicitate Test players from the region - all the way back to Salim Durani, the great allrounder of the 60s and 70s - and also those like Sitanshu Kotak and Jaydev Shah, who have been part of over 100 domestic games.The Pujara family has been in Rajkot for 50 years. Cheteshwar grew up in the heart of the city. With his father having worked for the railways, living quarters came with the job and there was a ground close-by as well. Every morning he would wake up at six and get some training in until nine, when school started. He wouldnt even change out of his uniform before heading off to play some more, his father in tow. Both of them began thinking about cricket seriously when Cheteshwar was seven-eight years old.Jadejas path was harsh. He trained at Cricket Bungalow, an academy in Jamnagar, where making mistakes would earn a beating. He had to dive around on hard, abrasive surfaces. He was taught flight by avoiding the head of a boy who would stand on the middle of the pitch. Outrageous things happen here. That a Test match has finally come along is no real biggie.
