Ronnie OSullivan has called for a snooker tournament revamp and believes competitions would be better wrapped up in just four days.OSullivan, who beat both Mark Allen and Jimmy White on Thursday to book his place in the Scottish Open quarter-finals, said he is not fazed by having to play two tournament matches in one day.Its easier, OSullivan told Eurosport. I think these tournaments, it should be done in maybe four days. We [could] all play two matches in one day, best of sevens.It gives you a bit of time to get a bit of rhythm and you feel like you can get some snooker under your belt and maybe play the final on the fourth day, or something like that. I like it. Its pure snooker.The world number 12 looked in control as he beat close friend White 4-2 in the third round, securing a fourth round tie against Allen. OSullivan then bagged two century breaks on his way to beating Allen by the same score.Breaks of 104 and 103 ensured OSullivan raced into a superb start, while Allen pulled a frame back with a run of 74. Five-time world champion OSullivan moved into a 3-1 lead with an 85 break, before Allen cut the deficit with a run of 80.OSullivan sealed victory with breaks of 55 and 34 to set up a quarter-final showdown against John Higgins.

Nike Air Max Outlet . 10 VCU 85-67 on Thursday night at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. The Seminoles (4-0) have scored at least 80 points in each of their games. A year ago, Oklahoma went into its Big 12 Conference game with Kansas State smarting following a 24-17 upset loss to Texas in the Red River Rivalry. The Sooners took their frustrations out by handing the Wildcats their first home shutout loss since 1991, 55-0.This year, the 19th-ranked Sooners (3-2, 2-0) come into the contest after a 45-40 victory over the Longhorns. Needless to say, Bill Snyders Wildcats (3-2, 1-1), who scored a wild 44-38 victory over Texas Tech last week, are looking forward to Saturday afternoons rematch at Memorial Stadium in Norman, Okla.We cant wait to go into OU and give them a little payback for last year, said Wildcats offensive tackle Dalton Risner.Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, an assistant on Snyders first seven Kansas State teams from 1989 to 1995, says last years convincing blowout win doesnt carry much weight this time around.Last year has nothing to do with this year, Stoops said during the Big 12 coaches teleconference. Were both two completely different teams. Weve got to continue to get better as a team. We havent played close to what we think we can play.Thats especially true on defense. The Sooners who rank 109th in points allowed at 36.2 points per game yielding 40 or more points in three consecutive games. A big reason for that has been due to a rash of injuries.Going into last weeks game against Texas, the Sooners were missing five players who had started on defense at some point this season. During the game, four more were forced out, leading to an influx of young -- or at least inexperienced -- players into Oklahomas defense.I dont recall that we had that many injuries at once and so many young guys going in there and playing, Stoops said before praising their performance.They figure to need another strong one Saturday when Oklahoma hosts Kansas State.The Wildcats have won their last two trips to Norman -- the only road team to win back-to-back road games against the Sooners since Stoops took over in 1999.The good news for the Soooners is that some of the injured players are expected back soon.dddddddddddd. Defensive back Ahmad Thomas is likely to be back after taking a knee to the head last week. Outside linebacker Will Johnson should be able to play against the Wildcats as well after missing the last two weeks.But there are still plenty of holes to fill.Itd be easier to say whos set to go, Stoops said when ticking off his injured players, mostly on the defensive side. Youve just got to keep (going). The guys had a good attitude about it and those young guys, credit to them -- they had their head in the game plan in practice and they were ready to play and for the most part played well.Safety Steven Parker, a junior, was affected as well. Not only did he have to shift from free safety to strong safety to nickel back during the course of the game but its his job to make sure everyone else in the secondary is aligned correctly.Its tough, trying to get yourself lined up and on top of that, making sure that theyre doing their responsibilities, doing everything theyre supposed to be doing, Parker said. Youre calling out the defense. Its a lot just on one play, especially covering those young guys. The majority of them know what theyre doing. Its really more communication and making sure everybody is all in one and all intact.Fortunately for the Sooners they have plenty of offensive weapons to cover up for their defensive woes. Oklahoma rolled up a season-high 672 yards in the Texas win. The contest marked the just the fifth time in FBS history that a team produced a 300-yard passer (Baker Mayfield, 390), a 200-yard rusher (Samaje Perine, 214) and a 200-yard receivers (Dede Westbrook, school-record 232 yards).Oklahoma is 15-2 under Stoops in Big 12 home openers and is 16-1 in the game after playing Texas. That lone loss was to Kansas State, 31-30, two years ago in Norman. ' ' '
