Ricciardo and when he does stuff like this is not hard to see why. I

NEW YORK -- Top-ranked Notre Dame cruised to an easy win in its opener. The rest of the Top 25 didnt face much of a challenge either.That will change Monday night as eight of the top 12 teams in The Associated Press womens college basketball poll will square off against each other in four tasty early season matchups.The Irish won their first game by 60 points to remain the top choice in the poll released Monday, the first of the regular season. They received 14 first-place votes from a 33-member national media panel, holding on to their slim four-point lead over Baylor. Notre Dame hosts Fordham in the second round of the Preseason WNIT on Monday night.The Lady Bears, who garnered 12 first-place ballots, have a much tougher game as they host No. 9 UCLA. Third-ranked UConn visits No. 12 Florida State.In other games between top teams Monday, No. 4 South Carolina plays seventh-ranked Ohio State and eight-ranked Texas heads to 11th-ranked Stanford.There certainly are a lot of great games early on, UCLA coach Cori Close said in early November at a national media day held at ESPN. Teams are challenging themselves.The Huskies, who have won four straight national championships and 75 consecutive games, host Baylor on Thursday. Geno Auriemmas team will play six of the other top eight teams in the country over the course of the regular season.Somebody said, what are you thinking making that kind of schedule in November? Auriemma said last month. Well, Ive always been one that (doesnt) want any surprises come March. I want to go into March feeling like we put ourselves through a lot of tests. Were going to pass some and were going to fail some. How do you get tough? Sometimes you have to fail.Not many ranked teams failed in opening weekend as they went 28-1, with the loss coming when No. 19 Kentucky beat 14th-ranked Miami. The Wildcats moved up to 15 while the Hurricanes fell to 22.Throw that game out, and Top 25 teams won by an average of nearly 37 points.---The poll and the voters selections can be found online at: http://collegebasketball.ap.org/womens-ap-top-25-week-2 Ryan Tannehill Titans Jersey .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker. Marcus Mariota Jersey . -- Stanfords Kevin Danser knelt on one knee and hardly moved on the sideline as Michigan State celebrated its Rose Bowl victory and his Cardinal teammates made their way to the locker room. http://www.titansstoreonline.com/Black-Marcus-Mariota-Titans-Jersey/ . 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.J. Brown Jersey . He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later. Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular season. Marcus Mariota Titans Jersey . The Olympic champion curler and TSN curling analyst immediately went online to look at the Halls long list of honoured members. Thats when the enormity of the honour sunk in. F1 photographer Mark Sutton talks ESPN through the best shots from the Malaysian Grand Prix, including Kevin Magnussens scary pit-lane fire and Lewis Hamiltons potentially title-deciding engine failure.Magnussens pit-lane fireCamera model: NIKON D5 | Exposure time: 1/800 s | Aperture: F14 | ISO speed : 1000This was a quick moment and one of our photographers, Jose Rubio, was right there to capture it as Kevin Magnussens car caught fire. He did a great job of capturing how quickly Magnussen had to get out the car. When this is happening in front of you, you just snap away at the moment, you dont really have time to think too much about it.When this happened, I ran down to the pit-lane and saw Jose. He said he had caught the fire and so he went back to the media centre to upload them -- when you have images like that, speed is key. It meant I was there to take pictures of the aftermath as they put the car out. It was spectacular, a bit like a warzone, there was dust everywhere... some people werent keen to get that close to it. We managed to get both the fire and the aftermath, giving us a nice sequence of shots that did really well on our social media channels and went quite viral. It also reginited the debate about Halo and whether he would have been hampered in getting out of the car with it on his car -- an important debate if Halo is to come in for 2018 as planned.?Hamiltons heartbreakThis was another one caught by Jose, who was on the inside of the corner and snapped it as Hamilton came through the corner, head in hands. It could be an iconic shot from the season -- a bit like Michael Schumachers engine going in China in 2006. Like the Magnussen shot, when you get this kind of moment happening in front of you thats all you can do. WWe had some trouble uploading the shot afterwards, which meant it wasnt immediately available to us.ddddddddddddI was stood on the exit of the corner and was able to get Hamilton climbing out of the car and kneeling down in a prayer position. The last one is a significant picture for us: Lewis shared it on his Instagram feed with an explanation of his feelings and a defence of Mercedes after the race. Hes the most followed driver there by a long way, and it was his most liked shot ever -- meaning it must be the most successful social F1 image ever. It tells an amazing story about that moment, his feelings.?The shoeyCamera model : Nikon D5 | Exposure time: 1/1640 s | Aperture: F5.6 | ISO speed: 400 | Lens: 70-200mm zoom with 1.4 converterEveryone loves Daniel Ricciardo and when he does stuff like this is not hard to see why. I think everyone wanted to see him win a race after what happened in Spain and especially Monaco. Hes got this infectious personality and its so nice to see his excitement on the podium. Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg have looked slightly reserved and unemotional on the podium in recent times but Ricciardo looks completely different -- like every win is his first.The shoey is becoming super popular and it suits his personality perfectly. There were lots of Australian fans there and as soon as he arrived they were chanting Shoey! Shoey! Shoey! When he won, I knew hed said he would only do it if he won again so I was prepared for the shoey -- I didnt expect him to make all three of them to do it as well! It was a great sight, especially when Mark Webber then threw the shoe off the podium! ' ' '
