game on Dec. 2 1967, it had happened only one other time before

Mark Warburton is absolutely bemused by reports linking him with the managerial vacancy at Wigan.The Rangers boss is reportedly on a Wigan shortlist along with former MK Dons boss Karl Robinson and Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs to replace Gary Caldwell.However, Warburton, whose side are currently fifth in the Scottish Premiership, nine points adrift of leaders Celtic, is mystified to be linked with the Latics. I am absolutely bemused where these reports come from, said Warburton I am amazed they even make the papers. Half price Sky Sports Upgrade now at half price for 6 months Former captain Caldwell led the Latics to the League One title last season but was sacked earlier this week following a dismal start to the season which has left the club 23rd in the Championship table.Warburton, who signed James Tavernier, Martyn Waghorn and Rob Kiernan from Wigan last season, was said to be highly-rated by the clubs chairman David Sharpe. Alan McInally and Stuart Pearce talk Rangers, Celtic and the future of Moussa Dembele. However, Warburton denies having a relationship with Sharpe and insists he is committed to Rangers.I didnt actually deal with David. I have no relationship there at all, Warburton added. With all respect to Wigan I have no idea where the rumour has come from.I am the manager of Rangers, I would never talk about another club or another job. I am just amazed that it even makes the tabloids. Warburton won the Scottish Championship title last season but has come under pressure this campaign I hope very much it is long term [project at Rangers. We spoke about building foundations.We look at where the club has been the last four or five years, rightly or wrongly, and the club needs to move forward on strong foundations.That is our task and our aim, and working closely with the chairman and the board and everyone involved with the club and if we can do that and put the club on sound footings then we will be in a good place.I just dont think we can afford to move too recklessly and try to move too quickly without those strong foundations.You can watch Premier League and EFL Cup football, plus Englands tour of Bangladesh and the Mexican Grand Prix on Sky Sports.

Thats the real strength of this team -- the leadership. I think thats what you saw the start of the second half.Villanova (2-0) has won eight straight games, including the six NCAA Tournament wins that led to last seasons national championship. And as far as early-season victories go, this was about as big as they come.Purdue had won nine straight on its home court and had only lost one previous November game since Matt Painter took over as coach in 2006-07.The difference was Villanova had Hart, who finished three points short of his career high, and the Boilermakers didnt have an answer.We had to do a better job on Josh Hart, Painter said. Their overall toughness is among the best in the country.Purdue sure didnt make it easy on the Wildcats, who made their first seven shots of the second half and charged to a 56-45 lead.The Boilermakers rallied behind Isaac Haas and Caleb Swanigan, who combined for five straight baskets during a flurry that pulled Purdue to 61-60. Haas scored 18 of his 22 points in the second half, and Swanigan had 20 points, eight rebounds and four assists.But with Harts shooting and the Wildcats stout defense, the Boilermakers never took the lead, never tied the score and couldnt make either 3-pointer that could have forced overtime in the waning seconds.This game was huge for us, playing a great team, a very disciplined team in that crazy environment, Hart said.Darryl Reynolds had 12 points and eeight rebounds for Villanova.dddddddddddd.BIG PICTUREVillanova: The Wildcats passed their biggest test of November -- barely. Now theyve got five games over the next 15 days, three more by Sunday, to get everything in sync.Purdue: This early test showed the Boilermakers can play with the big boys. Beating them might still be a challenge if they dont find more perimeter shooting.COUNT ITThe Boilermakers erased a 39-34 deficit in the final 40 seconds of the first half with a layup from Swanigan and after Vince Edwards scooped up a loose ball and got it to guard P.J. Thompson, who banked in a buzzer-beating 3 from midcourt to tie it. The crowd went wild long before a replay review confirmed the original call that it counted.RARE AIRPurdue is 12-14 when facing a defending national champ. But having one from outside the Big Ten visit West Lafayette is a rarity. Since hosting UCLA for the opening game on Dec. 2 1967, it had happened only one other time before Monday: Against Louisville on Jan. 18, 1987. UCLA won the first game 73-71, but the Boilermakers beat Louisville 88-73.POLL IMPLCATIONSVillanova: The Wildcats proved theyre worthy of a high ranking with a quality road victory but will be hard-pressed to move up unless No. 1 Duke or No. 2 Kentucky lose.Purdue: The Boilermakers arent likely to slide much, if at all, after coming within a basket or two of upsetting a top-5 team.UP NEXTVillanova: On Thursday, the Wildcats face Western Michigan in Charleston, South Carolina, as they begin chasing a fourth straight in-season tourney title.Purdue: Hosts Georgia State on Friday, marking the return of former IUPUI coach Ron Hunter.
