Another freshman Jenna Staiti scored all 10 of her points in the second half and had 14 rebounds.We spend a lot of time talking about when youre number is called be ready to play, Frese said.

Brionna Jones had 17 points and grabbed eight rebounds, two shy of 34th career double-double.The Terrapins beat Maryland-Eastern Shore 106-30 last year and were never threatened in this one.

LAS VEGAS -- The NBAs first Chinese owner said Wednesday that he hopes to use his ties in China to help the Minnesota Timberwolves become a global brand along the lines of the Los Angeles Lakers and?New York Knicks.Since Ive been a fan of the NBA for so long, I wondered if I could be part of the sport so that I can establish connections between the NBA and the Chinese market, to do my contribution for the development of both, Lizhang Jiang said through an interpreter. I not only know the Chinese market, but also know very well about the international sports market.I am confident I can transfer my experience and resources in those aspects into the basketball business to help the Timberwolves grow both in the Chinese market and global market.Jiang, who attended Minnesotas summer league playoff game on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs, bought a 5 percent stake in the Timberwolves and is also part owner of the WNBAs Minnesota Lynx, whose star Maya Moore plays for the Shanxi Flame in China during the winter.Timberwolves majority owner Glen Taylor also sold 9.5 percent of his team to Manhattan real estate mogul Meyer Orbach, chairman of the Orbach Group in New York City.Orbach said his immediate involvement will be with the renovation of Target Center. Given his background in construction and real estate, he said he will consult during the two-year process, giving input on the construction while assisting with design and layout.Im just going to learn from Glen and everyone over at the organization and see where I can add value and jump in, Orbach said.Taylor said he is excited about Orbachs enthusiasm and is confident Jiangs influence will enhance the teams image in China, broaden scouting opportunities for Chinese players and expand the teams fan base. He believes that could translate into sponsorship and advertising dollars for an organization that now has several of the most talented and recognizable young players in tthe league.ddddddddddddWith?Karl-Anthony Towns, Andrew Wiggins, Zach LaVine and Kris Dunn as the faces of the organization, and Tom Thibodeau in place as head coach, Taylor said the possibility of a title is becoming more of a reality.Taylor also said he wouldnt be surprised if other teams find partnerships from China.I think it will encourage them. I think theres more and more business being done between the United States and Chinese companies, so theres always the possibility of sponsors who want to sell here in the United States, Taylor said. I think weve got to open a bunch of doors. And I think maybe by my bringing in a partner, this will open a number of other doors.Jiang, who said he became a fan of the NBA during Michael Jordans glory years, also recently purchased 98 percent of Granada CF, a Spanish soccer team.Jiang said he hasnt thought about becoming a majority owner of an NBA team. He is focused on helping build the Timberwolves.My job is to transfer my expertise and experience in sports business into helping the team gain greater development, Jiang said. That is the only important thing for me. You can only talk about more when youve done a great job on what youre focusing on now. The rest will come along naturally.Jiang sat courtside on Wednesday with Taylor, LaVine and fellow Wolves?Gorgui Dieng and Nemanja Bjelica. Jiang said hell make plenty of time to visit Minnesota so he can watch his newest investment in person during the regular season.NBA commissioner Adam Silver said the league was thrilled to get a Chinese owner aboard.Mr. Jiangs business acumen, knowledge of the global sports landscape and strong personal relationships will be tremendous assets to the Timberwolves and Lynx, and he will be an important part of our ongoing efforts to grow the game in China, Silver said.
