BERLIN -- Wolfsburg inflicted a 3-0 defeat on relegation-threatened Freiburg to go fifth in the Bundesliga on Sunday, while Hertha Berlin beat bottom side Eintracht Braunschweig 2-0 to consolidate seventh. Maximilian Arnold put Wolfsburg ahead in the eighth minute, when the stationary Fallou Diagne allowed him to guide Patrick Ochs cross beyond the helpless Freiburg goalkeeper, and Ivica Olic doubled the lead three minutes later after Luiz Gustavo did well to set him up. "When you start a game like that you have no chance against a team like Wolfsburg," Freiburg coach Christian Streich said. Olic should have scored again a minute later only to stumble with Freiburgs defence absent and the goal at his mercy, and the Croatian pulled another great chance narrowly wide in the 23rd. Gelson Fernandes had a goal ruled offside for Freiburg, but TV replays showed it was the wrong call. The ball came off a defender before Admir Mehmedi crossed for the Swiss midfielder. Freiburg improved after the break, though suffered a blow in the 49th when Francis Coquelin went off in considerable pain with a left ankle injury. Matthias Ginter came agonizingly close to pulling one back with over 20 minutes remaining when he could only deflect Sebastian Kerks cross over the unguarded net. "Its very annoying," Ginter said. "We had one or two chances in the second half. If we had made it 2-1 it would have been close. But the lapses in concentration cost us dearly." Marcel Schaefer scored in injury time on a counterattack to ensure an afternoon to forget for the home supporters. "The players were fully there from the first second. They saw the chance to climb to fifth place," Wolfsburg coach Dieter Hecking said. Freiburg remains in the relegation playoff place after 15 games played, three points ahead of Braunschweig, which failed to really trouble Hertha despite a spirited performance in the late game. "We dont have that luck in games," said Braunschweig coach Torsten Lieberknecht, whose side has the worst attack with just eight goals in 15 games. "Today the defeat is much more painful than the eight goals." Hertha striker Adrian Ramos scored with a diving header from Ronnys corner to open the scoring in the 20th. Braunschweig defender Deniz Dogan went close with a free kick in the 76th, before Sandro Wagner struck the crossbar with a header from another Ronny corner at the other end. Ronny set up Tolga Cigerci to seal the result from a narrow angle with 10 minutes remaining, with Braunschweig defender Timo Perthel sent off for his second yellow card after attempting to stop the counterattack with a foul on Per Ciljan Skjelbred. "Such players like Ronny and (Adrian) Ramos make the difference and you could see that today," Hertha goalkeeper Thomas Kraft said.

LOUIS -- The 35-0 record stands out in bold face. Putting the historic implications aside, Wichita States latest victims are believers they got schooled by a team most deserving of a top seed and capable of beating anybody, anytime. "Oh every bit of it, every bit of it," Cal Poly coach Joe Callero said after his team was never in contention in a 64-37 loss in the Midwest Region on Friday night. "The thing about Wichita State which we want to emulate most is they rarely, rarely take any plays off. They have very, very good players but they are dialed in, and I think thats what separates them." Cleananthony Early had 23 points for the Shockers (35-0), who dominated from the tip-off against a first-time NCAA entrant, and the only team with a sub-.500 record in the tournament. "We were very, very focused," coach Gregg Marshall said. "It had been a long time since wed played and this team had our attention." With the exception of Early, most of the glaring numbers were on defence. The losers managed 13 points in the first half and shot 21 per cent. Wichita State players were well aware that Mercer upset Duke earlier in the day. They were determined to take nothing for granted. "Seeing all these close games, its important for us to come out and show the world," forward Chadrack Lufile said. "Come out and play hard, and play angry." "I thought we were pretty crisp for the most part," point guard Fred VanVleet said. Malik Love had nine points for Cal Poly (14-20), which won the Big West tournament as the No. 7 seed and beat Texas Southern in First Four game before being held to a season low for points. Chris Eversley, the Big West tourney MVP and coming off a 19-point game, was held to six points on 2-for-14 shooting. "I think youve got to be a well-rested, well-prepared team to have a chance against them," Calero said, referring to the Mustangs playing on short rest. "But at the end of the day you can see why theyre undefeated. "So, hats off to them." As it turned out, the high point for the losers came before tip-off when Cardinals Hall of Fame shortstop Ozzie Smith, a Cal Poly graduate, paid a visit.dddddddddddd Guard Kyle Odister cherished an autograph and photograph. "Definitely it was great to meet a legend," guard Kyle Odister said. "He said wed already won before the game started. "It would have been nice to get a win, though." VanVleet had eight assists, Ron Baker had seven points and nine rebounds and Kadeem Coleby had four of the teams six blocks in the Shockers 10th consecutive double-digit victory and fourth straight in St. Louis where they won their first Missouri Valley Conference tournament title since 1987 by beating three opponents by an average of 20 points. There was no suspense as second-ranked Wichita State surpassed the previous best start in 1991 by UNLV. The Runnin Rebels went 34-0 before losing to Duke in the national semifinals. The Shockers made the Final Four as a No. 9 seed last year. Sterner tests loom for Wichita State, with either preseason No. 1 Kentucky or Kansas State the next opponent on Sunday. Thus, much like before in the Missouri Valley tournament when Marshall told the team they were back to 0-0, he said the Shockers were 1-0. "Its been a great season thus far, 35-0 is awesome," Marshall said. "Our goal is to get out of the weekend." Cal Poly was 4-for-28 in the first half got outscored by Early, who had 19 points to help Wichita State take a commanding 32-13 lead. Eversleys 3-pointer opened the scoring with 18:46 to go not long after Coleby just missed converting an alley-oop dunk on the other end. The Mustangs missed 14 straight shots under suffocating pressure, often settling for out-of-range 3s, and mustered just two free throws before Kyle Odisters 3-pointer ended a drought that lasted more than 11 minutes and made it 21-8. More on-target shooting and Wichita State could have really opened it up. As it was, the Shockers had a 15-0 run before Odisters 3, then ran off nine more in a row, before Cal Poly reached double figures with less than three minutes to go. ' ' '
