He scored 24 Premier League goals last season and was the second-highest scorer in the top flight, so it should be no surprise that Arsene Wenger is interested in Jamie Vardy. But would the Leicester forward suit Arsenals style of play, and is he what they need to challenge for the title? We look at the arguments for and against...YES - Arsenal lacked goals last season, Vardy would provide them We didnt have anybody with 20 goals in the league, so that is a handicap. Arsene Wenger didnt gloss over the facts when reflecting on Arsenals failed title challenge last season.Their top scorer in the league was Olivier Giroud with 16, three of which came on the final day against Aston Villa. Behind Giroud, Alexis Sanchez weighed in with 13, Mesut Ozil scored six and Aaron Ramsey and Theo Walcott got five goals apiece. Arsenal are interested in signing Jamie Vardy, according to Sky sources. But what has he said about a possible move from Leicester? The highest-scoring Arsenal striker behind Giroud was Danny Welbeck, with four.As much as there have been calls for the Gunners to strengthen the centre of defence and bolster their midfield - they have bolstered the latter with the signing of Granit Xhaka - goals were clearly a problem last season.They were the lowest scorers in the top four and their struggles were summed up by two games in the second half of the campaign - home draws with Southampton and Crystal Palace.Against Southampton in early February, the Gunners had 67% possession and 22 shots, but failed to score for the third game in a row as it finished goalless. Is Morata the answer? Arsenal have been linked with a move for Alvaro Morata, but is he the striker theyre looking for? Two months later, Sanchez gave the Gunners the lead against Palace but they failed to press home their advantage, despite 72% possession and 21 shots, and drew 1-1.So where would 29-year-old Vardy fit in at the Emirates?Presumably, if he joins, he will replace Giroud in the starting XI. Last season, Giroud had a conversion rate of 20%, while Vardys was 25.8%. Vardy had a better shooting accuracy and his minutes-per-goal record was 130.79, compared to 151.5 for Giroud.In December, Wenger called Vardy the best goal-scorer in the league, adding he thinks the striker is worth £30m. We need to stop the long balls and the defenders need to read his game and drop off when its needed. Wenger when asked how he will handle Vardys pace You have many players under him who have been paid much more, and who dont score that number of goals. Without a doubt, he is worth that money today.If there are question marks over his age, remember that Ian Wright did not join the Gunners until he was nearly 28, having also played non-league football a few years earlier.Wenger has called Vardy an explosive player, like Sanchez, and said this when reflecting on the season: Our movement has to be sharper and our efficiency in the final third has to be better.Vardy should help improve both of those facets.NO - Vardy would not suit Arsenals style of playThere are a couple of question marks over Vardys potential signing.Firstly, can he consistently deliver, season after season? So far in his career, he has not managed to do it.After scoring 31 goals for Fleetwood Town in 36 Conference Premier appearances (34 starts, two as substitute) in 2011/12, Vardy followed up with just four in 26 games in the Championship for Leicester the next season (17 starts, nine as sub). Vardys goalscoring record Season Club League starts Goals 2011/12 Fleetwood Town 34 31 2012/13 Leicester 17 4 2013/14 Leicester 36 14 2014/15 Leicester 26 5 2015/16 Leicester 36 24 In 2013/14, he netted 16 in 37 appearances (36 starts, one as sub) in the second tier, then five in 34 matches in the Premier League in 2014/15 (26 starts, eight as sub), before scoring 24 in 36 starts in 2015/16.Perhaps he has just taken a season to adjust to the new division each time; perhaps next season he will improve on his 24-goal haul.But does he suit Arsenals style?Leicester last season were at their best when they were counter-attacking at pace, winning the ball and then quickly moving it up the pitch. To witness Vardy at his most effective, just watch the two goals he scored against Sunderland in April.For the first, the Foxes won the ball in their own half, Danny Drinkwater played it over the top and Vardy ran clear to score. The second, late in the game, again came from a counter, with Vardy this time bursting past a defender and finishing. Both goals were direct. Teams would come to Anfield and sit back. Id sometimes only get space if I went wide. If Jamie Vardy did go to a top club, I feel hed get the same problems. Craig Bellamy How often do Arsenal get chances like that? Most of the time, especially at home, they face teams camped around their own box, with no space behind at all. When sides did this to Leicester towards the end of last season, Vardys goals largely dried up.Speaking to Sky Sports in December, Craig Bellamy recalled how he struggled for goals after moving to Liverpool.Teams would come to Anfield and sit back. Rafa Benitez always wanted me on the last man, trying to create space, always looking to go in behind but at different times, especially at home, there wasnt space. Id sometimes only get space if I went wide. If Jamie Vardy did go to a top club, I feel hed get the same problems.Would Arsenal change their style to accommodate Vardy? To get the best out of him, they may have to. Also See: Arsenal want to sign Vardy Arsenal finally spending big? Leicester season review Transfer Centre Nico Hoerner Cubs Jersey .

No, it was something more basic. "I think we were mad," Chambers said, emphasizing that his team had been thumped by Iowa and Nebraska in its previous two games. "It just happened to be Ohio State tonight. We came out and played desperate and with a sense of urgency. And we played angry." D.J. Newbill scored 23 points, Tim Frazier added 16 and Penn State held off a late rally by No. 22 Ohio State for a 65-63 victory Thursday. The Buckeyes (22-7, 9-7 Big Ten) had a chance to win at the end. Coming out of a timeout with 6.8 seconds left, Lenzelle Smith Jr.s 3-pointer rimmed out. The Nittany Lions (14-14, 5-10) grabbed the rebound and time expired. Ohio State was led by LaQuinton Ross, who scored 19 points. Aaron Craft, plagued by foul trouble most of the game, added 10. "It was one of those games where two guys pound the ball off the backboard and it bounces out and they make a 3 on us," Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. "Little things like that is kind of the way the game went." Penn State swept the season series. The Nittany Lions upset then-No. 23 Ohio State 71-70 in overtime on Jan. 29 in Columbus. Nittany Lions forward Donovan Jack made a turnaround jumper, was fouled and hit the free throw to give Penn State a 60-55 lead with 1:59 to go. Ross and Craft each made a pair of free throws, sandwiched around two by Frazier, to pull the Buckeyes to 62-59 with just more than a minute to go. Frazier pushed Penn States lead to five with 39.4 seconds left with a pair of free throws. After Ross made two more free throws, Shannon Scott stole the inbounds paass and passed to Trey McDonald for a layup that cut it to 64-63.dddddddddddd Penn State missed two free throws on the ensuing possession, but Smiths shot caromed off the rim and over the backboard, giving the Nittany Lions the ball back with under 10 seconds left. Frazier was fouled and made one of two at the line, setting up Smiths last-second attempt from 3-point range. "When we executed what we were supposed to do, it was amazing what happened. We didnt have the flow that we normally do," Matta said. "That was the difference. We talked about it and talked about it. We couldnt get it to where we needed it." Frazier, a senior point guard, was recognized before the game as part of Senior Night festivities. He is one of 10 finalists for the Senior CLASS Award, given annually to a student-athlete with notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition. Frazier will leave Penn State as the schools career leader in assists. Frazier acknowledged that his uneven play early was due to the emotions and nerves of the night. "It was very emotional. I was basically trying to hold back tears in the beginning. Obviously you tell at the beginning of the game I had so many emotions running through me. Turnovers left and right. Airballs," he said. Chambers was happy to see a player who has meant so much to the program get a win on such a special night. "Hes an amazing kid. A man now. Hes a man," Chambers said. "Its Senior Night. Youve got family there. Youve got one game left in this building. Youve been here five years. Youve invested time and energy. He puts so much into this program. You cant blame the guy for being jacked up. I was happy to see us get a win for him." ' ' '
