Purdue's Braden Smith is questionable to play in his team's Big Ten semifinal game against Wisconsin on Saturday in Minneapolis, per the conference injury report. CBS Sports, however, reported that coach Matt Painter said while Smith isn't at 100 percent, he will start. Smith, an All-Big Ten first-team point guard, sustained a calf strain with 12:26 remaining in the top-seeded Boilermakers' 67-62 win over eighth-seeded Michigan State on Friday. Smith initially was holding his right knee before being taken to the locker room. He returned to the game with 8:32 remaining but played tentatively down the stretch, finishing with five points and eight assists. Purdue coach Matt Painter said Friday that Smith would be re-examined. "He pulled a calf muscle or got hit in the calf or something like that," Painter said after the game. "I thought he wasn't the same. He wasn't as aggressive. … Sometimes those things the next day you're perfectly fine, and sometimes they get progressively worse. So we'll just kind of see what's going on and see how he's feeling." Smith averaged 12.7 points, a team-leading 7.2 assists and 5.8 rebounds in 32 games (all starts) this season. —Field Level Media

Massimiliano Allegri has urged Juventus to use anger at their Champions League failure as motivation to succeed in the Europa League.
A 2-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in Turin saw Juve become only the second Italian side to lose five of six group stage matches in the competition, after Roma in 2004-05 – though their elimination had already been confirmed.
Juve required a victory to cement their spot in the knockout stages of the Europa League but ultimately must be thankful to Benfica for firing five second-half goals against Maccabi Haifa to prevent the Allegri s side from exiting continental football entirely.
In the Europa League, Juve will be considered to be among the favourites to go all the way and Allegri has urged his side to use their anger to prop…
In the Premier League, only Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and Antonio Conte could reasonably claim not to be envious of Unai Emery s CV.
Emery has coached in three of Europe s top five leagues and won one domestic league title and four of five major European finals.
As recently as May, Emery s Villarreal were going toe-to-toe with Klopp s Liverpool in the Champions League semi-finals.
Yet Emery is returning to England with a side battling against relegation – as he might have done 12 months ago when he was Newcastle United s top target.
Although the Spaniard s two most recent Europa League successes came in finals against Liverpool and Manchester United, he is best recognised in the Premier League as an ultimately underwhelming Arsenal manager, far since …
Bayer Leverkusen have signed defender Kyriakos Papadopoulos on a season-long loan deal from Bundesliga rivals Schalke.
The Greece international has been plagued by injuries and made only five appearances for Schalke last season due to a knee problem and then a dislocated shoulder, which ruled him out of the World Cup.
Papadopoulos was linked with a move to Liverpool, but the 22-year-old has now sealed a move to the BayArena for the upcoming campaign.
He told Leverkusen s official website: I am very happy that it worked out with the change. Bayer 04 is a club just like Schalke with major international ambitions.
Unfortunately I was injured more often in the past season. But now I m back fit and highly motivated to achieve with Leverkusen both my personal …
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning hopes lightning can strike twice when his side meet the New England Patriots in Sunday s Super Bowl.
Manning led the Giants to a famous Super Bowl victory over the Patriots in 2008 with a last minute drive, while New York has the recent form over New England clinching a 24-20 win when the sides met in November.
I think it feels like we ve played them a decent amount in the last couple of years, Manning said.
We ve played them in the Super Bowl, we ve played them in the regular season, we have played them close in all of those games so I think you understand that they are very talented.
They have the ability to score a lot of points, their defence has the ability to keep you to a minimum of points so it s going …
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is lining up a £25m move for Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic, .
The Reds’ boss flew to Italy after his sides 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday to work on a deal for the Bosnia and Herzegovina international, who could be seen as an ideal replacement for outgoing club captain Steven Gerrard.

Pjanic moved to Roma from Lyon in the summer of 2011 and has so far racked up one hundred and twenty appearances in all competitions for the Serie A side, scoring sixteen goals.
Internationally, the 24 year old has been capped fifty-nine times and was part of his nation’s squad for la…
Hull City and Steve Bruce have come to an agreement to extend his deal as manager and the 54-year-old will sign on the dotted line within 24 hours.
Bruce s deal was set to expire at the end of the current campaign and, with Hull battling against relegation, serves as a vote of confidence.
I m delighted to have committed my future to the club – we have achieved a lot in the few years we have been here but this is just the beginning of the journey, Bruce said.
