Daniel Ricciardos popular victory in Malaysia meant the return of the shoey -- but it had a mixed reaction from the Australians victims on the podium.Earlier this season, Ricciardo celebrated a podium in Germany by drinking champagne from his race boot -- something done by Australian Moto GP race winner Jack Miller at Assen and copied by Valentino Rossi last month. Ricciardo had promised to reserve the celebration exclusively for victories, meaning it made a glorious comeback on the Sepang podium.After swigging champagne from his own boot, Ricciardo turned bartender, helping it down the throat of teammate Max Verstappen, Nico Rosberg and Red Bull boss Christian Horner. Rosberg, especially, looked very unimpressed with the taste, while fellow Australian Mark Webber was in no mood to join in the champagne chugging contest, throwing Ricciardos boot into the crowd before beginning the podium interviews.I havent made many friends from this, actually! Ricciardo joked in the press conference. I love the taste, personally! I thought today it was quite fruity.It was sort of like a dessert, rather than a main course! I dont know what these boys thought -- Nico told me he didnt like it very much!When Rosberg, sitting alongside Ricciardo in the press conference, was asked if he liked the taste, the championship leader grimaced.I hope he does not win any more races this year, Rosberg said, prompting a laugh from Ricciardo.Verstappen then added: It was alright, actually. It was good sweat.Horner joked that he was more concerned with the health of his driver than the taste of the champagne.I just hope he doesnt have any shoe ailments like athletes foot or verruca! Im not a big fan of champagne but drinking out of a sweaty boot....Horner laughed and then added: Though I was slightly more impressed than Nico Rosberg!

NEW YORK -- Northwestern came into the Legends Classic off a last-second loss to Butler.It didnt seem to bother the Wildcats as they beat No. 22 Texas 77-58 on Monday night.Im really proud of my guys tonight. We had a very tough loss Wednesday in Hinkle Fieldhouse at Butler, Northwestern coach Chris Collins said. Teams can go two separate ways after a loss like that. You can go on a little bit of a tailspin or you can rally together and come out fighting. There was never a doubt in my mind that our guys were going to keep fighting. We came in confident, yet very respectful of Texas. We knew it was going to take a great effort to beat a team like that. I thought a lot of guys played well.Bryant McIntosh had 20 points and five assists in the convincing win that propelled the Wildcats (3-1) into a championship showdown against Notre Dame, which beat Colorado 89-81, on Tuesday night at Barclays Center.McIntosh turned the ball over that led to Butlers buzzer-beater.I thought right after the Butler game, I knew we wouldnt go into a tailspin just because we didnt feel sorry for ourselves, McIntosh said. We were upset that we lost a game that we thought we could win. Thats a difference with this team than on the other teams Ive been on since being here. If we lost a close game, we felt sorry for ourselves where this team were hungry. We think were good and I thought tonight we played exceptionally well.Northwestern opened the game with an 11-0 run and closed the first half on a 9-0 spurt to take a 34-26 lead.The Wildcats opened the second half on a 10-1 run to go up by 17 points and the Longhorns (3-1) were never closer than 14 points the rest of the way.Scottie Lindsey had 16 points and Dererk Pardon had 10 points and 11 rebounds for Northwestern which took advantage of an out-of-synch Texas offense for the easy win.We came in to win, Collins said. We have the utmost respect for Texas, just like we did at Butler the other night. I just think theres a mindset with these guys. I think we believe were good. I believe we can play with these teams, not only play with them but beat them.Tavin Maack scored 18 points for the Longhorns, who finished with 14 turnovers and just seven assists.dddddddddddd Texas didnt help itself at the free throw line going 13 for 27.I thought Northwestern did a great job of starting the game with aggressiveness and got off to that big lead, Texas coach Shaka Smart said. Our guys responded really well and battled back and took the lead but obviously from there, Northwestern was just a much better team tonight.Northwestern, which shot 48.2 percent (27 for 56), led by as many as 20 points as nine of the 10 players who saw time scored.Texas, which came into the game averaging 82 points per game, shot 37.3 percent (19 for 51) and were outrebounded 40-31.I was a little bit concerned this morning because sometimes you can feel when guys get in the bright lights, you can tell theyre playing a little bit away from what really goes into it, Smart said. Its natural. I think we were a step off with a lot of things we know how to do.BIG PICTURE:Texas: The Longhorns allowed opponents to shoot 21.8 percent from 3-point range in their first three games.
