doing is trying to reduce the risk,'' Conrad said. ''You're not going to entirely eliminate the risk. But if a breakdown occurs, there's got to be some sanctions. People may think about it the next time.''The NCAA had no comment on the latest incident,Nike Air Max 2014 Mens Dark Blue Pink, calling it a conference matter.That won't do any longer.Everyone needs to sit down after the season - assuming we make it through without anything else happening - and come up with some additional measures to deal with unruly fans. It might be setting up more family sections closer to the court, and pushing students farther away from the action. It might be coming up with some sort of financial tool to supplement the security budgets at smaller schools.Again, it's time step up before something really bad happens.That goes, too, for those folks in the seats.''Maybe it's time,'' Fried suggested, ''for a coalition of fans to take the game back.''---Paul Newberry is a national writer for The Associated Press.

The Minnesota Wild traded a fourth-round draft pick to the Edmonton Oilers for goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov on Tuesday, one day before the NHL deadline for dealing.Advertisement The 33-year-old Russian has a 5-8-5 record in 20 games for the Oilers this season with an ugly 3.01 goals-against average and he's on a one-year contract, allowing the Wild to acquire him at relatively low cost.The pick sent to Edmonton was originally acquired last year from Buffalo in the trade that brought first line right wing Jason Pominville to Minnesota.Rookie Darcy Kuemper has started 15 straight games in goal for the Wild,Air Max 2014 Women Light Pink, so Bryzgalov is more for insurance with Niklas Backstrom and Josh Harding not at full strength. Backstrom has been bothered by injuries all season, and the 36-year-old has a career-worst 3.02 goals-against average over 21 games.Harding was superb early in the season, but the 2013 Masterton Trophy winner -- for sportsmanship, dedication and perseverance -- has not played at all in 2014 due to illness related to medication for multiple sclerosis.Kuemper has tied a Wild rookie record with 11 wins and since Jan. 7 has a 1.70 GAA with two shutouts and a .939 save percentage.''Obviously the confidence he has now, you can see that,'' captain Mikko Koivu said on Monday after the Wild beat Calgary for their fifth straight win to improve to 9-2-2 in their last 13 games. ''The edge he's playing with, it is good to see. He's playing winning hockey right now, so obviously that's a huge part of the team.''Bryzgalov has 38 games of playoff experience over five postseasons with Anaheim, Phoenix and Philadelphia, including three stellar starts against the Wild in the Western Conference quarterfinals in 2007. He stopped 73 of 77 shots in the first three games of that series, all Ducks victories. Bryzgalov struggled in defeat in the next game, Jean-Sebastien Giguere replaced him thereafter and the Ducks went on to win the Stanley Cup.Bryzgalov's career record is 213-157-50,Air Max 2013 Jade Green Black, including a 42-20-6 mark for the Coyotes during the 2009-10 season, his best in the NHL. He had a 2.29 goals-against average and a .920 save percentage.Then came his ill-fated time in Philadelphia, though. The Flyers signed him to a $51 million, nine-year contract in 2011 and used a salary cap compliance buyout to release him last June, just two seasons into the megadeal. General manager Paul Holmgren said then the contract was ''a costly mistake.'' Bryzgalov didn't sign with the Oilers until last November.After signing goalie Ben Scrivens to a two-year contract extension last week, the Oilers took their first step away from Bryzgalov. Then they acquired goalie Viktor Fasth, also on Tuesday, from Anaheim for a fifth-round draft pick this summer and a third-round selection in 2015.
