Police say attack on homeless man not part of the knockout game

ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) A man is attacked in downtown St. Louis and some think it might be a new wave of the knockout game.

According to St. Louis City police a 49-year-old white male was walking with a friend west on Cole. As they crossed Tucker the suspect and another man approached them. That`s when the suspect punched the victim in the face and knocked him to the ground. The two men then ran east on Cole. The homeless victim was found unconscious and taken to a local hospital. Early reports suggest it was a knockout game attack but investigators disagree.

We should clear it up. Some believed it could be knockout game. Except for the fact that its not consistent with incidents of knockout game. Number one, we have not had any incidents of it in the downtown area. Number two, this one there is some indication that there was some dialogue between the suspect and victim.. This is uncommon with the knockout game , they take their victim totally by surprise. said District 4 Commander Capt. Dan Howard.

The suspect is a black male 20 to 25 years old weighing between 140 and 160lbs. He was also wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt. The suspect can face third degree assault charges if caught.

NU routs FEU to win first UAAP title in 60 years

By Camille B. Naredo, ABS-CBNnews.com

MANILA, Philippines -- (UPDATE 3) The National University (NU) Bulldogs imposed their will on the Far Eastern University (FEU) Tamaraws to register a dominant 75-59 victory in the winners-take-all Game 3 of the UAAP Season 77 Finals, ending a 60-year championship drought in the process.

Cameroonian big man Alfred Aroga was simply unstoppable on both ends of the court, scoring 24 points while grabbing 18 rebounds and shutting down the paint to power the Bulldogs to an emotional victory Wednesday in front of a jubilant crowd at the Araneta Coliseum.

Three other players scored in double-digits for the Bulldogs, who had an impressive offensive outing, but again leaned on their stingy defense to shut down the Tamaraws in the second half of the contest.

"It's always hard, in a knockout game, and the one week (break) was the longest one week for me and for the team," NU head coach Eric Altamirano said after the game.

"We knew, coming into this season, that we will not have our key players. Except for (point guard) Gelo (Alolino), we lost our starters. We were trying to figure out what's gonna happen to this team," he said.

"We couldn't imagine that we would be champions this year."

It was NU's first UAAP championship since 1954.

The win completed a truly remarkable campaign for the Bulldogs, who played five do-or-die games in the Season 77 playoffs, and became only the first No. 4 seed in the Final Four era to go on to win the crown.

"It was really a long journey for us," Altamirano said. "But I think those playoff games helped us become stronger. The adversity that we went through, nagpalakas sa amin. Lalo kaming nagka-kumpyansa sa bawat isa. It really prepared us for Game 3."

John Barnes says Liverpool FC will receive the biggest possible test against Real Madrid

John Barnes believes Real Madrid will provide the truest test of Liverpool FCs credentials when they visit Anfield this week.

The Reds welcome the reigning European champions following a disjointed, indifferent start to their own campaign, and knowing a defeat would put them in a difficult position in terms of qualifying for the Champions League knockout stages.

Barnes, though, says the game is one that should be savoured, by both supporters and players.

He said: Its great that Liverpool are back in the Champions League. Thats where we belong, and these are the games you want. Id rather it be the final, or a knockout game, but its still a big one.

It will be a measure of how good Liverpool actually are. Although this season has not gone particularly well, we still have the quality to give them a few problems. Im really looking forward to it.

Barnes was speaking at the unveiling of an interactive 3D street art installation in Liverpools Williamson Square, organised by online bookmaker Titanbet.

The tribute featured members of the Liverpool team that beat Real Madrid to win the 1981 European Cup, and Barnes is anticipating another momentous occasion at Anfield on Wednesday evening.

It will be sensational, he said.
