MELBOURNE, Australia - Hamza Aldaradrehs dominating four-goal performance against Palestine has given Jordan coach Ray Wilkins a selection dilemma ahead of his teams must-win final group match against Japan.Man of the match Hamza became just the fourth player to score four goals in an Asian Cup match to help Jordan keep its tournament hopes alive with a 5-1 win over Palestine on Friday.Wilkins said Hamza was just the third-choice striker when Jordan started its Asian Cup campaign, behind Odai Al Saify and Ahmad Hayel.Now Hamzas given me a horrible bloody headache that I have to try and sort out, the former England midfielder said. Nevertheless Im delighted for him and Im delighted for the lads as well.Jordan shares second place in Group D with Iraq on three points behind leader Japan on six. Palestine is now eliminated after two losses.We lost because we didnt score in the first half or 25 minutes, Palestine coach Ahmed Al Hassan said. Then (we conceded) two goals in two minutes.Palestine looked the more organized early in the match, but it was Jordan that made the breakthrough in the 33rd minute when midfielder Yousef Ahmad Mohammad gathered a Hamza pass in the area and sent a long, curving strike into the top corner of the net.Hamza scored another just over a minute later when he met an Abdallah Deeb cross in front of goal and slid it inside the far post.The striker scored his second goal in first-half stoppage time when he raced into the box and connected with a Saeed Murjan cross, volleying past Palestine goalkeeper Ramzi Saleh.Hamza completed his hat trick in the 75th minute when he burst onto a Deeb pass and sent a low shot into the net, then brought up his fourth five minutes later by beating Saleh with a low strike from just outside the box.I felt the score line was a little bit heavy in our favour if Im perfectly honest. They had a number of chances and Amer Shafi made some very good saves for us, Wilkins said. I think defensively, both sides would not have been as happy as they were offensively.Palestine scored its first-ever Asian Cup goal when midfielder Jaka Hbaisha converted a set piece in the 85th minute to the roars of almost 10,000 Palestine fans in Melbournes rectangular stadium. It plays its final match of the tournament against Iraq on Tuesday in Canberra.For Jordan, preparations will now start for its final group match against tournament favourite Japan in Melbourne.We play in four days time, so immediately we get back Ill take a look at the video and well see the end of the Japanese game and well see where we go from there, Wilkins said.But its back to the drawing board because the game we face now is critical for us. Weve done a good job tonight, but the next game is crucial.Wilkins said he hoped to have Hayel available to play against Japan after he missed Fridays match due to dehydration. Hayel experienced dizziness, nausea and vomited during a protracted attempt to submit a urine sample after Mondays 1-0 loss to Iraq in Brisbane.Hes improved very well indeed ... we got a lot of fluid into him and it looks as though hell be OK to train tomorrow, he said. If hes not good enough, then we wont play him.

Cleanthony Early scored 19 points, Ron Baker added 13 and the second-ranked Shockers rolled to a 68-45 victory over Missouri State on Saturday, easily putting away a team that had given them fits this season. Relying on the same stubborn defence that carried it on last years improbable March run, Wichita State (31-0, 18-0) became the first team since Saint Josephs in 2004 to enter its league tournament unbeaten. The Shockers will have a first-round bye in St. Louis next week. Missouri State (19-11, 9-9) had them in trouble when they met Jan. 11 in Springfield, Mo., but the Bears blew a 19-point second-half lead and ultimately lost 72-69 in overtime. They never came close to making it a game Saturday, trailing by double-digits in the opening minutes. The Shockers are off to the best start since UNLV began 34-0 and lost in the 1991 national title game. Theyre also off to the best start by a Missouri Valley team since Indiana State, led by Larry Bird, won its first 33 games and fell to Michigan State in the 1979 title game. The Shockers last loss came in the Final Four, too -- to eventual champ Louisville last year. Putting this one away early gave a sellout crowd that had braved the threat of freezing rain ample opportunity to celebrate. Waving signs that applauded their unblemished record, fans packed inside Koch Arena serenaded a senior class led by Early that managed tto elevate the program from a solid mid-major into a national power in the midst of a memorable season.dddddddddddd Along with fellow seniors Chadrack Lufile, Kadeem Coleby and Nick Wiggins, Early gave coach Gregg Marshall a bear hug when he checked out for the final time in the closing minutes. Jarmar Gulley scored 15 points to lead Missouri State, which was dominated on the boards, in transition and just about everywhere else in losing its 10th straight against ranked teams. Unlike the first meeting, when it was Wichita State that stumbled early, Missouri State missed 18 of its first 22 shots, suffocated under token pressure and never got into a rhythm. When the Bears werent blowing layups, they were turning the ball over, leading to some easy baskets at the other end. Wichita State shot 57 per cent from the field in the first half, a big reason why it had built a 20-point lead just before the break. The trio of Early, Baker and Fred VanVleet picked up where it left off out of the locker room, Early scoring quickly and Baker hitting a long 3-pointer to keep Missouri State at bay. In fact, the only interesting moment of the second half came when Lufile was fouled with about 10 minutes to go. After missing his first seven free throw attempts, the big senior forward -- with the crowd rising to its feet -- finally got one to rattle home. Of course, it hardly mattered that Lufiles foul shooting wasnt perfect. Everything else about Wichita State is these days. ' ' '
