PARIS - Despite their poor results at the Paris Masters, France captain Arnaud Clement is sticking with his regular players for the Davis Cup final against Switzerland.Clement has picked four players — Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Richard Gasquet, Gael Monfils and Gilles Simon — for a training camp in Bordeaux ahead of the final from Nov. 21-23 in the northern city of Lille.He can still make changes to the team ahead of the final although Clement said its unlikely he will call up new players at the last minute.I think about other players too, but in my mind today, those who have a chance of going on court in Lille are the four players I mentioned, and I want to focus the preparation on them, Clement said at a news conference on Saturday.No French player advanced past the third round in Paris but the French captain is adamant he is not worried before hosting a formidable Swiss team led by the in-form Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka.The players who had to stop because of injuries were able to play, Clement said. They played good matches, and that was a good thing. I believe this is positive. Now that they are reassured about their condition, they can focus on the Davis Cup. It is their main goal.Gasquet, who played a decisive part in Frances win over defending champion Czech Republic in the semifinals, lost in the second round in Paris and has won just three matches in his past four tournaments. Simons campaign was stopped immediately by Fernando Verdasco while Tsonga and Monfils bowed out in the third round, against Kei Nishikori and Novak Djokovic, respectively.Monfils, who thought about pulling out from the event because of a knee injury, showed signs of improvement during a tight second set with Djokovic.Richard is extremely motivated by this Davis Cup. He has his mind set on it, Clement said. And I was very pleased with the level of Gael and Jo, also against players who are playing very well. They lost in the end, but I believe those matches were very interesting.France picked indoor clay to host Switzerland in a bid to thwart Federers quest for a first win in the team competition. With the best-of-five series scheduled five days after the ATP finals, the French team is betting that Wawrinka and Federer — who qualified for the year-end event — will struggle to adapt to clay, a surface on which both Tsonga and Gasquet have beaten the 17-time Grand Slam champion.Clement added that Julien Benneteau, who will also be playing at the O2 in London in the doubles tournament, could join his teammates in Bordeaux for the final days of the training camp from No. 10-16.The Davis Cup final will be held at the 27,000-capacity Pierre Mauroy Stadium, under a retractable roof. France is third on the list of all-time winners and bidding for a 10th title. Switzerland is looking for its first.Switzerland reached the final only once before, losing in 1992 against a United States team of Andre Agassi, Jim Courier, John McEnroe and Pete Sampras.

Cuonzo Martins Golden Bears have won 10 of their first 11 games on the season. Californias lone loss came against top-10 foe Texas (71-55) back on Nov. 21. The team has reeled off seven straight wins since, including a 78-67 victory over Eastern Washington on Friday. Bo Ryans Badgers have certainly looked the part of a top-five team, save for a tough loss to Duke (78-70) as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge back on Dec. 3. Wisconsin has been idle for nine days, but has righted the ship since the Duke loss with three consecutive victories, including an 86-43 rout of Nicholls back on Dec. 13. California holds a 5-3 edge in the all-time series with Wisconsin, although it was UW with the win in the last meeting, an 81-56 lopsided affair in Madison back in 2012. After scoring a season-high 93 points in the game prior, Wisconsin maintained its offensive edge, netting 86 in the 43-point romp over Nicholls last time out. The Badgers shot an eye-popping 70-4 percent from the floor in the first half and effectively won the game in that stanza, taking a 47-15 lead into intermission, before cruising to victory. Five Badgers managed double figures in the onslaught, led by Sam Dekkers 17 points. Joshh Gasser added 14 points, followed by Nigel Hayes (12 pts), Frank Kaminsky (10 pts) and Vitto Brown (10 pts).dddddddddddd Despite showcasing some serious scoring punch of late, Wisconsin is still a team that is fueled by stingy defense. The Badgers are among the nations best in terms of scoring defense (51.7 ppg), while holding foes to just .383 shooting. In addition, the team lives comfortable in terms of rebounding (+8.3) and turnover (+4.5) margins. The 7-foot Kaminsky is one of the top big men in the country, averaging 16.0 points and 7.6 rebounds per game, while showing surprising range (second on the team with 14 3-pointers). Dekker and Hayes are also sporting double-digit scoring averages with 11.8 and 11.7 ppg, respectively. The Golden Bears have also adopted a defensive mindset this season. California is limiting foes to just 59.4 ppg and holding them well under 40 percent shooting (.374), including a meager .291 from behind the arc. Tyrone Wallace is the teams anchor at the point, with the ability to do it all. He is averaging a near double-double with 19.5 points and 8.9 rebounds per game, and also leads the team with 4.4 assists per outing. Jordan Mathews (13.0 ppg), and David Kravish (10.5 ppg) provide scoring depth and have been vital of late with a foot injury suffered by Jabari Bird (11.7 ppg) that has kept the guard sidelined.
