SHANGHAI -- Reid Travis was elated to be back on the court after missing most of last season with an injury. It didnt matter if it was at home in Stanford -- or on the other side of the world in China.Travis scored 24 points and grabbed 17 rebounds -- both career highs -- to lead Stanford (1-0) to an 80-70 win over Harvard on Saturday in just the second regular-season college basketball game to be played in China.Travis, the Cardinals top returning scorer and rebounder, was back in the lineup for the first time since missing the final 22 games of last season with a stress reaction in his left leg.I only played eight games last year so I spent a lot of time on the bench in a sweat suit cheering these guys on, he said. I could barely sleep last night. I slept like three hours just itching to put that jersey back on and get back on the court and compete with my teammates.Its been a long process, a long summer, a long preseason -- just staying healthy, getting healthy.Michael Humphrey added 15 points and Grant Verhoeven, Marcus Allen and Dorian Pickens each scored 10 to give Stanford its first win under new coach Jerod Haase, who coached at UAB the last four seasons.Haase said he was glad his team got a tough early-season test from a team like Harvard, which has captured five Ivy League championships in the last six years.Maybe the most important thing is Harvards really good, he said. Not only are they good now, theyre going to be much better as the year goes on. With all their youth and all their talent, theyre going to be a team to reckon with.Harvard (0-1) closed the gap to 67-61 with 4:00 remaining after Bryce Aiken hit a 3-pointer and Siyani Chambers followed with a layup, but Stanford made several stops down the stretch and hit key free throws to put the game away.Aiken, a freshman, led Harvard with 21 points and Chambers added 12, but the Crimson only connected on 37 percent of their shots and were just 4 of 17 from 3-point range.I think youve seen some of the potential of our younger guys, Harvard coach Tommy Amaker said. The seasons just starting and were very excited about what lies in front of us.The game was sponsored by the Pac-12 Conference and Chinese tech giant Alibaba, which brought Washington and Texas to Shanghai last year for the first regular-season NCAA mens basketball game to be played in China. Earlier Saturday, the Pac-12 announced UCLA and Georgia Tech would play next season in China.Chinese basketball star Yao Ming watched Saturdays game courtside, along with NBA Hall of Famer Bill Walton and former NBA player Jimmer Fredette, who scored 51 points for the Shanghai Sharks in a Chinese Basketball Association game against Guangdong on Friday night.BIG PICTURE:Stanford: The Cardinal showed its experience against Harvard, with senior Verhoeven providing a spark off the bench and Travis helping give Stanford a 42-36 advantage on the boards.Harvard: Following a disappointing 14-16 record last season, the Crimsons highly touted recruiting class is off to a promising start this year, with Aiken leading all Harvard scorers and fellow freshman Chris Lewis adding 10 points and two blocks in the first half.HE SAID:We went on a riverboat tour (in Shanghai) and outside of basketball, thats the biggest thing Ill remember is just cruising up and down the river, just looking at the buildings and taking in the beauty of the city at night, Travis said of his first trip to China. It was amazing to me because if you think New Yorks big ... you come to Shanghai, its just eye-opening.UP NEXT:Harvard has six days off before playing its home opener against crosstown NAIA team Fisher College on Thursday and Holy Cross on Nov. 22.Stanford has three home games coming up, starting with Cal State-Northridge on Tuesday, followed by Weber State two days later.

Worcestershire 475 for 7 dec (Clarke 194, Leach 107*, Mitchell 67) and 40 for 1 beat Derbyshire 248 (Hosein 108, Leach 5-60) and 266 (Madsen 100, Hosein 59) by nine wicketsScorecard For the first time in 92 years Derbyshire finished a County Championship season without a single victory after losing to Worcestershire by nine wickets in their final Specsavers Division Two fixture at New Road.Having started the last day at 15 for 1, still 212 behind, they held off the home side for five hours until they were dug out for 266. Worcestershire had to make 40 and lost Brett DOliveira before securing third place behind Essex and Kent.At least the divisions bottom county went down on a note of defiance thanks to Wayne Madsens sixth championship century of the season and Harvey Hoseins achievement in becoming only the fourth Derbyshire wicketkeeper to make a hundred and a fifty in a match.The last Derbyshire player to score six hundreds was Chris Rogers in 2009, and there was another milestone for Madsen in closing the campaign with a personal-best total of 1,292 runs, the fourth year in a row that he has topped 1,000.There was also a distinction on the bowling side as Joe Leach took 7 for 108 in the match and ended his summer with 65 wickets, the most in Division Two.Leach had given Worcestershire encouragement in his second over of the day. Alex Hughes went forward and drove hard but edged to Tom Kohler-Cadmore.More trouble for Derbyshire followed when Billy Godleman hoisted a ball from Miguel Cummins straight to Ed Barnarrd at fine leg, a shot that was perhaps not in keeping with a side battling to avoid defeat.ddddddddddddAt 29 for 3, Derbyshire were still 198 behind but Madsen gave them some hope with Tom Woods help until his younger partner was caught behind the wicket off Barnard after making 10 out of 45 in 10 overs.It was the appearance of Hosein that injected new conviction. In making his fifth consecutive score of 50 or more, the 20-year-old judged his role to perfection, allowing Madsen to take the main role but scoring consistently himself as they put on 124 in 26 overs.Another New Road pitch conformed to the pattern of the season in becoming flatter the longer the game went on. Even Madsens dismissal, leg-before to Charlie Morris for exactly 100 after hitting 15 fours and a six, did not immediately open the door to Worcestershire.Hosein maintained his unflappable tempo and Tom Milnes brought a bolder approach until Daryl Mitchell intervened with two wickets in eight ballsThe seventh bowler in the attack, the home captain bowled Milnes for 36 and Greg Cork for 4. Suddenly Worcestershires challenge was reignited and in the next over, DOliveira accounted for Hosein, caught at short leg for 59, and Will Davis, lbw without scoring, in successive deliveries.Cummins then took the new ball and when Tony Palladino was given out leg-before, the last five wickets had fallen for the addition of 11 runs.
