BARCELONA, Spain - Lionel Messi will chase the Spanish league scoring record on Saturday amid a state of near panic at Camp Nou caused by his comments that his future at Barcelona may not be secure. Lorenzo Doss Jersey .Barcelona hosts a strong Sevilla side on Saturday while trailing leader Real Madrid by two points. Madrid visits promoted club Eibar on the same day.Messi has been stuck on 250 league goals for the past three games, leaving him one shy of matching Telmo Zarras all-time record.But many will surely be wondering about Messis future after he hinted that he may be rethinking his once steadfast commitment to the club he has played for since he was 13.While I always said that I would like to stay there (Barcelona) forever, sometimes not everything happens the way you want, Messi said.Messis father and agent downplayed the stir by saying that people exaggerated his sons comment, insisting that the four-time player of the year was happy at Barcelona.Here are some other things to know about this weekends games:___MOYES DEBUTSDavid Moyes said he had come to Spain to test his coaching talents against the best teams in the world, no doubt referring to European champion Real Madrid, league champion Atletico Madrid and, of course, Barcelona.Moyes will get an easier first taste of the Spanish league, however, with a trip to Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday.The former Manchester United and Everton manager takes over a Sociedad side that has underperformed and finds itself level on points with Deportivo in a pack of five teams only three points out of last place.Sociedad forward Chory Castro said Moyes is looking to gradually mould the team to his liking.What he has most emphasized is that we pressure every time we lose the ball, Castro said. He doesnt want to change everything at once. He has told us that he will introduce new concepts little by little.___MADRIDS A MACHINEMadrid has erased its bumpy start to the season and coach Carlo Ancelotti has his players scoring more consistently than at any time in the last 15 years.Madrid is the only team to score in all 11 matches, the first time it has done so since the start of the 1999-2000 campaign.Cristiano Ronaldo has powered Madrids scoring burst with a league-leading 18 goals and has scored in all 10 league matches he has played.Madrid will miss Luka Modric, out with a leg injury. Either Francisco Isco Alarcon or Sami Khedira will likely take his place in the starting lineup.___EXPORTING EIBAREibar will welcome Madrid to its Ipurua Stadium, which has a capacity of only 6,000 spectators, for the first time.And Eibar is not letting the international exposure go to waste. The small Basque club has sold advertising to a Chinese car parts manufacturer that will appear on the back of its players shorts just for the Madrid game.Through 10 matches, Eibar had established the best start to a season by a debutante in the league. It arrives from a 2-1 loss at Malaga last match.___KEEPING PACEValencia, Atletico and Sevilla all need to bounce back after dropping points last time out.Valencia is in third place, three points behind Madrid, before its city derby at Levante on Sunday. Atletico and Sevilla are another point back in fourth and fifth place.Atletico hosts a surging Malaga side on a five-game winning streak on Sunday.Sevilla will head to Barcelona led by two of Barcelonas promising talents in Gerard Deulofeu and Denis Suarez, who are playing on loan this season. Graham Gano Jersey . 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.

Tennessee denied Mercer a second straight upset in decidedly one-sided fashion, routing the Bears 83-63 in the third round of the NCAA tournament on Sunday night behind 17 points and a career-high-tying 18 rebounds for Jarnell Stokes. Josh Richardson had a career-high 26 points and Antonio Barton had 18 for the 11th-seeded Vols (24-12), who are making the most of their first tournament appearance since 2011. "NIT two straight years, I guess thats what youd call starting from the bottom," Stokes said. "A lot of people doubted us, and that just makes the ride much better." The Tennessee band had plenty of chances to blare their beloved "Rocky Top" during this rout, which followed the same script as their 19-point thumping of Massachusetts two days earlier: The Voles outrebounded Mercer 41-19 to keep the Southeastern Conference perfect in the tournament. They joined Florida and Kentucky in the regional semifinals -- the first time three SEC teams made it that far since 2007. "Ive been hearing that the SEC has been a football conference for a long time but I dont know how you can still say that when youve got three SEC schools in the Sweet 16," Tennessee guard Jordan McRae said. Tennessee will face second-seeded Michigan (27-8) in a Midwest Regional semifinal Friday night in Indianapolis. Stokes broke his 2-day-old school tournament record for rebounds. Langston Hall had 15 points to lead the 14th-seeded Bears (27-9). They knocked off Duke in the signature upset of the tournament but couldnt answer Tennessees size. "I think hopefully by the time (reality) sets in, well all be able to put a smile on and realize that what weve been able to do at our school, and for the city, has been phenomenal," forward Jakob Gollon said. "Its kind of hard to see right now." Mercer trailed by double figures for the entire second half before the Bears threatened another fantastic finish. They had the ball down 12 with about 2 1/2 minutes left when Gollon -- one of the heroes of the Duke upset two days earlier -- threw the ball away in the lane, then fouled out a few seconds later. McRae hit two free throws, and Richardson added a ffast-break layup to push the Tennessee lead to 77-61 with 1 1/2 minutes left. Rashaan Gaulden Jersey. McRae finished with 13 points for the Volunteers, who have won eight of nine with the only loss coming to the top-ranked Gators in the SEC tournament. They are in the round of 16 for the fourth time in eight years, and the third team to go from the First Four to the Sweet 16 since the introduction of the extra round in 2011. They also got a bit of payback: Mercer ended Tennessees season last year with a 75-67 win in the first round of the NIT. Ike Nwamu scored 12 points, Anthony White Jr. had 11 and big man Daniel Coursey added 10 for Mercer, the plucky Atlantic Sun Conference school trying to match Florida Gulf Coasts run last year to the regional semifinals. The Bears drew a perfect matchup for their first game -- and couldnt have had a worse one for their second. "Any time we have Jeronne (Maymon) and Jarnell wearing Tennessee orange," McRae said, "we always feel like we have the advantage." They were bigger, more experienced and more precise than a Duke team loaded with high school All-Americans and a leaky defence, carving them up down the stretch in a 78-71 victory that ranks among the top upsets in the history of the tournament. Mercer starts five seniors and has seven on the roster -- but the Bears were down one with 6-foot-11 Monty Brown out with a possible concussion. Even with him, a Tennessee team with Stokes -- who set the schools short-lived tournament record with 14 rebounds in that 86-67 rout of UMass -- was going to be a challenge. Without him, it was nearly impossible. "Its hard to match up with them, but at the end of the day, mainly it was probably my fault towards the end," Coursey said. "They had a lot of rebounds, and I should have boxed them out." Tennessee never trailed and held a 24-4 rebounding advantage in the first half. Richardson scored 10 straight points midway for the Volunteers to turn a tight game into a double-figure lead. His 3 from the right wing made it 29-18 with 6 1/2 minutes left. Meanwhile, Stokes and Maymon effectively turned Mercer into a jump-shooting team: The Bears managed just one offensive rebound in the first half and didnt attempt their first free throw until there was just 8:40 left.
