CARDIFF, Wales -- Wales and its star forward Gareth Bale hit a first major bump on the road to the 2018 World Cup on Sunday. Cheap Adidas Blackhawks Jerseys .Perhaps unsurprisingly for the Welsh, it was Georgia dealing the blow.The Georgians havent lost to Wales in four meetings now after they recovered from conceding a 10th-minute goal to Bale to draw 1-1 against the European Championship semifinalists. The first three matches between the countries all ended as wins for Georgia.This should have been a home banker at Cardiff City Stadium, with Wales -- powered by Real Madrids Bale -- ranked 10th in the world after its memorable run at Euro 2016 last summer and Georgia languishing at No. 137.Yet by the end of the Group D qualifier, there only looked like being one winner with Georgia attacking in waves and Valeri Kazaishvili shooting against the crossbar from outside the area. Ultimately, the visitors left with a point thanks to Tornike Okriashvilis header in the 57th.People will look at it as two points dropped, but it might be a point gained at the end of the day, said Wales manager Chris Coleman. We got too comfortable. The whole atmosphere was too comfortable.Bale, who scored seven goals in Euro 2016 qualifying, is now up to three in this qualifying campaign after rising unchallenged to meet Joe Ledleys corner and head home. It was Bales 25th international goal -- three behind Wales national record held by Ian Rush.Wales lost its way in the second half and the draw halts the teams upward trajectory under Coleman. It also means two points from a possible six in this international period, having drawn 2-2 at Austria on Thursday.Georgia picked up its first point in three matches.Wales lost its lead in the group after wins for Serbia and Ireland on Sunday:---SERBIA 3, AUSTRIA 2Serbia is top on goal difference after Dusan Tadics 74th-minute winner in Belgrade.Aleksandar Mitrovic twice gave Serbia the lead only for Marcel Sabitzer and Marc Janko to score equalizers for Austria, which had started the round on four points like Serbia.---MOLDOVA 1, IRELAND 3James McClean scored two goals in the final 21 minutes to help unbeaten Ireland earn its second win and keep pace with Serbia.Shane Longs second-minute goal for Ireland was canceled out by Igor Bugaev in first-half injury time. McClean scored in the 69th and 76th minutes.Moldova has lost all three of its games. Erik Gustafsson Jersey . Ibaka equaled a career high with 20 rebounds, adding four blocked shots and 15 points as the Thunder smothered the Milwaukee Bucks offence in a 92-79 victory Saturday night. Martin Havlat Jersey . Hazard cut in from the left and scored with a swerving right-footed shot for ninth goal of the season, which proved to be enough for the victory despite Chelseas forwards again lacking a cutting edge up front. www.cheapblackhawksjerseys.com/?tag=adidas-duncan-keith-jersey . Defenceman Yannick Weber scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period and the Canucks breathed a sigh of relief with a 2-1 win on Saturday night. KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee turned up its defensive intensity to produce a surprisingly lopsided victory over Georgia Tech.Shembari Phillips and Grant Williams each scored 14 points as Tennessee cruised to an 81-58 triumph over the Yellow Jackets, who hadnt trailed an opponent by more than eight points all season before Saturday.Overall, thats something we can continue to build on, Tennessee coach Rick Barnes said of his teams defensive effort. Thats got to really be the staple of who we are.Tennessee (3-3) was returning from a nine-day layoff after going 1-2 in the Maui Invitational last week, but it was Georgia Tech that looked like it hadnt played in over a week. Tennessee stayed in control virtually the entire way and led by as many as 28 points.Georgia Tech (4-3) played without usual starting guard Justin Moore, who stayed in Atlanta because of a stomach virus. Josh Heath, who made 15 starts in 2015-16, started in Moores place and scored just two points while shooting 0 for 7.Our mentality has been attack, attack, attack, Georgia Tech coach Josh Pastner said. We played `un-attack today. We played real passive. I was disappointed in our energy level. That falls on my shoulders. Hopefully I can analyze and examine some things and decide what we can do to get better.Tennessee was playing its third straight game without Jordan Bone, who has a stress fracture in his left foot. Bone had been Tennessees starting point guard before his injury. The Vols also played a third straight game without forward Admiral Schofield due to a violation of team rules.The Vols overcame the absence of those two guys by getting big contributions from just about everyone who did play.Williams 14 points represented a career high for the freshman forward. Phillips, a natural shooting guard playing point guard for now, had five rebounds and a career-high seven assists with only one turnover.I feel liike I can play off the ball and I can play on the ball, Phillips said. Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys. Whatever the team needs at the time... if somebody steps up and (Barnes) feels like theyre doing a better job than me, Ill move back to the wing. But personally I do enjoy playing the point. Im going to continue to get better at it every day.John Fulkerson scored 12 points and Robert Hubbs III added 10 points for Tennessee.Quinton Stephens scored 15, Christian Matthews had 14 and Josh Okogie added 11 for Georgia Tech. Ben Lammers had 10 points and 14 rebounds.THE TAKEAWAYGeorgia Tech: The Yellow Jackets offense didnt look quite the same without Moore, who averages a team-high 4.8 assists per game. Georgia Tech shot a season-low 32.7 percent from the floor and committed a season-high 19 turnovers.I thought their athleticism bothered us in some areas, Pastner said. We would get to the paint, but we would just throw up a `hope shot. Hopes a bad strategy.Tennessee: The Vols didnt look intimidated at all against a Georgia Tech team that entered the day with nine blocks per game to lead all Division I teams. Tennessee shot 52.8 percent from the floor and had only two of its shots blocked.OVERDUE OFFENSETennessee forward Lew Evans, a Utah State graduate transfer, had seven points, six rebounds and three assists Saturday after failing to score in his first five games with his new team. Evans had averaged 8.4 points per game at Utah State last season.KEY STATGeorgia Tech shot 46.2 percent (6 of 13) from 3-point range but just 28.6 percent (12 of 42) from inside the arc. The Yellow Jackets missed 16 of their first 17 two-point attempts.NEXT UPGeorgia Tech: At VCU on Wednesday.Tennessee: Hosts Presbyterian on Tuesday.---More AP College Basketball: collegebasketball.ap.org Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
