EVANSTON, Ill. -- Vic Law scored a career-high 26 points -- his second straight game establishing a new mark -- to lead Northwestern to an 86-72 victory over Eastern Washington Monday night in a Legends Classic opening-round game.Law, who had 19 points in the season opener, was 7-for-13 from the field. Bryant McIntosh had 18 points and Scottie Lindsey and Dererk Pardon each added 12 as Northwestern improved to 2-0.Bogdan Bliznyuk led Eastern Washington (1-1) with 25 points on 10-for-18 shooting. He had 20 points on 8-for-13 shooting in the first half.Jacob Wiley added 19 points on 8-for-11 shooting for the Eagles.Bliznyuk had four points and took only three shots in the season-opening win over Division III Linfield.Northwestern quickly jumped out to a 15-point lead (24-9) less than nine minutes into the game and it appeared a second straight blow out was in order following the 94-63 opening win over Mississippi Valley State.But Eastern fought back and pulled within 42-36 in the final minute of the first half. The Eagles were within six points (53-47) early in the second half, but that was as close as they would get -- although Northwestern never was able to open a comfortable margin.BIG PICTUREEWU: The Eagles were picked to finish fifth in the Big Sky in a preseason poll of media covering the conference following last season 18-16 finish. If nothing else, this is a scrappy bunch that played physical on both ends and refused to quit after falling behind early on the road against a Power 5 conference team.Northwestern: Although the season is only two games old, Law cleared as emerged as the Wildcats best player. The redshirt sophomore, who missed all of last season following shoulder surgery, has the versatile game and athleticism to be a threat every night.UP NEXTEastern Washington plays at Texas on Thursday in a game thats also a part of the Legends Classic.Following a pair of home wins, Northwestern plays its first road game Thursday at Butler.

If an uncertain Jordan Spieth or any other golfers are looking at tennis before deciding whether to compete at the Olympics, they may well give Rio de Janeiro a miss.Jason Day and Rory McIlroy are among the golfers to have already withdrawn from the Olympic tournament, citing the fear of contracting the Zika virus.Many tennis players enthusiasm for the Olympics appears to have softened, too, although in most cases, that has little or nothing to do with health risks.The changing mood in a more established, albeit relatively-recently-added, Games discipline could be another negative influence on the thinking of golfers who are deliberating whether to travel or not.It has often been said that golf, which is new to the Games this year, should be guided by tennis on how a sport can prosper inside the Olympic movement.After all, there are great similarities between tennis and golf -- both are individual sports, with global tours, and four traditional peaks each season in the majors.The parallels between the sports have been acknowledged by key figures within the Olympic movement; Antony Scanlon, the International Golf Federations Olympics head, even told ESPN last February that for our athletes it will be less of a journey than it has been for tennis.But, if you look beyond some of the leading tennis players, there doesnt appear to be the same commitment to the Olympics that there was four years ago in London, when Andy Murray won the mens singles gold medal.Its true that Murray will be motivated to defend his title, while Roger Federer will want the only big singles prize missing from his collection of titles.Novak Djokovic, meanwhile, has the opportunity this season of becoming the first man to accomplish the golden slam -- winning the four Grand Slams and the Olympic in the same year.He is understandably keen to play in Rio, and hasnt been shy about saying so. Hes officially on the Serbia team, too, but the world No.1 told a media conference at Wimbledon this week that even he is concerned about Zika.Ive been getting more and more information about it, he said. Last few days Ive been trying to reach out to as many Brazilian friends and acquainntances that I have, [to] get as much information [as possible].ddddddddddddWhen I get more information, Ill be able to make my final decision. But for now, Im planning to go.For some of the other players, even for those who would have had an outside chance of winning a medal, the Olympics simply arent a priority.One of the most engaging storylines this tennis season has been the emergence of Dominic Thiem, who is the newest member of the top 10, and yet the 22-year-old Austrian wont be in Rio as he doesnt consider tennis to be a true Olympic sport.Ernests Gulbis, a former French Open semifinalist, seems to be thinking along similar lines, with the Latvian saying recently that the Olympics looked like tennis tourism.He is ineligible after playing insufficient Davis Cup matches, but was unhappy anyway that ranking points wouldnt be on offer in Rio, as they were in London.John Isner, of the United States, also wont play in Rio and has expressed a similar grievance. The fact that they have no points, to be honest, was a pretty big factor, he said. Obviously the Olympics is not about the money, but no points I think hindered me a bit.The lure of a medal just isnt enough to get some to Brazil and while no-one is stressing the lack of a financial incentive, that could be a factor.Australian Bernard Tomic will be playing at an ATP event in Mexico rather than the Games. In a statement, he cited his extremely busy playing schedule, and now my personal circumstances for his absence.Another young Australian, Nick Kyrgios, will be missing from Rio after falling out with the Australian Olympic Committee. While Kyrgios said that playing at the Olympics had been a dream since I was a kid, he wasnt making himself available after the committee chose to publicly and privately disparage him.South Africas Kevin Anderson and Spains Feliciano Lopez also wont be there. The tennis tournament in Rio has been described in some quarters as the fifth Grand Slam, but for a number of tennis players, that appears to be anything but the case. ' ' '
