GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Eric Eaves scored 17 points, Tashombe Riley had his second-career double-double and Greg Riley hit the winner with four seconds left as South Carolina State beat Furman 69-67 on Friday night to snap a three-game skid.Riley, a junior, had 14 points and a season-high 11 rebounds, James Richardson scored 10 points and Mortimer added nine with four assists.South Carolina State (3-7) matched its biggest lead when Mortimers jumper with 12:23 to play made it 55-44. Daniel Fowler scored nine-straight points to give the Paladins their first lead, 62-60, of the second half with 4:07 remaining. Moments later, SCSUs Ed Stephens and Fowler traded 3s and Furman led by two, but Rileys offensive rebound of his own blocked layup attempt made it 67-all with 33 seconds left. After Fowler was called for an offensive foul, Mortimers floater won it.Fowler, who scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half, missed a potential winning 3 for the Paladins (6-5). Andre Holmes Jersey . - Goaltender Philippe Desrosiers of the Rimouski Oceanic has broken a shutout record that was only three months old in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Kyle Williams Jersey . The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season. Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings "maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch" and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad. http://www.cheapbillsjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=authentic-jerry-hughes-jersey . Collaros, 25, was solid last season, posting a 5-2 record as the starter while incumbent Ricky Ray was injured. Collaros also started Torontos 23-20 regular-season finale loss to Montreal — Ray didnt dress because the Argos had already clinched first in the East Division — but was one of three quarterbacks to play that day. Jim Kelly Jersey . The nimble-footed quarterback got his wish, dashing through the snow and a weary defence all the way into the NCAA record book. Cordy Glenn Jersey . Jeff Green scored 13 points and Kris Humphries 12 for the Celtics, who nearly blew an 18-point, second-half lead. Sullingers 20-20 was the first by a Celtics player since Kevin Garnetts first game in Boston in 2007. Garnett was dealt -- along with Paul Pierce -- to Brooklyn during the off-season. Its the opposite day script nobody expected.The much anticipated battle between Serena Williams and Angelique Kerber for the prestigious year-end No. 1 ranking in the WTA isnt going to happen now that Williams has withdrawn from the WTA Finals.Instead, fans and pundits who assumed No. 1 Novak Djokovic had shut down competition for the ATPs top ranking are now relishing a potential November shootout for all the marbles between Djokovic and No. 2 Andy Murray, something that nobody could have predicted.After all, Djokovic had a nearly 9,000-point rankings lead over Murray (thats nine Masters 1000 titles worth of points) as recently as April. In fact, just weeks ago Murray still trailed Djokovic by some 4,500 points. The gap is now down to 2,145, and Djokovic is maxed out for the season -- and can potentially lose points -- because of how the rankings are calculated.Now Murray, whos been on fire while Djokovic has been smoldering, has a realistic shot at dragging Djokovic off his perch. The 29-year old Scot is, by his own admission, playing the best tennis of his life. Hes reunited with the coach who helped transform him from major also-ran into Grand Slam champion. After a fallow period (11 majors without a title), Murray has re-established himself as a champion with wins this year at Wimbledon and the Olympics.As?Roberto Bautista Agut, who upset Djokovic in the Shanghai semifinals and then lost the title match to Murray on Sunday, said: Andy is doing everything to get Novak. I can see it in his eyes. Hes really focused on getting No. 1.As determined and confident as he is, Murray has tried to tamp down expectations as the tour heads indoors, hurtling toward the grand finale, the ATP World Tour Championships in London next month. Murray said about Djokovic in Shanghai, He is the best player in the world. I dont think he has lost an indoor [match] in a long time.Thats quite an endorsement of Djokovic. But it may refer to a different man than the one who hasnt won a title since the Montreal Masters 1000 in July.The last three months were up and down a little bit with oscillations, but generally I didnt find that kind of satisfaction on the court, Djokovic told the media before the start of Shanghai. I do really feel like Im already getting better because I changed my mindset. ... I think Im a different person than I was maybe three months ago, maybe six months ago.Different, but maybe not in a good way when it comes to winning tennis matches and titles.Its understandable that some air went out of Djokovics balloon after he completed his career Grand Slam with a French Open title iin June.dddddddddddd At that point, people were seriously talking about the first male pros calendar-year Grand Slam since Rod Laver accomplished that in 1968. Now theyre wondering if this new, more philosophically prone Djokovic isnt ready to shave his head, don robes and run off to some commune.The worm turned at the conspicuous point of Wimbledon, just weeks after Djokovic won in Paris. He was distracted and ultimately upset in his third-round match with Sam Querrey. When Djokovic returned to defend his US Open title, he explained: We all have private issues and things that are more challenges than issues, more things that we have to encounter and overcome in order to evolve as a human being.Unfortunately for Djokovic, he just might be evolving himself out of the No. 1 ranking.The owner of 12 Grand Slam titles, Djokovic is talking like a man who may have had his fill. After sending off Fabio Fognini in the first round at Shanghai, he told the media: When I get on the court, of course I want to give my best and eventually try to win the match. But not as a priority of must-win type of mindset, because that is not working for me anymore.Must-win may not be working for Djokovic at some ethereal level. But the tantrums Djokovic threw in Shanghai during his loss to Agut demonstrated that some aspect of his character isnt fully reconciled with this new sensibility hes been touting. Could that aspect be the one thats been his meal ticket all along, his nature as a competitor, a warrior?Theres no doubt that Murray and his gimlet-eyed coach Ivan Lendl have been watching Djokovics evolution almost as closely as Djokovic himself. They surely sense opportunity. Murray, a plodding rationalist who eschews New Age-y rhetoric, has been beaten by Djokovic in the Australian Open final four times (including three of the last four years). Could Murray have a more satisfying and validating win at this point in his career than a triumph over Djokovic for the title in Melbourne next January?Murray might have been fantasizing about the near future as much as soberly evaluating his progress and goals when he declared in Shanghai, My goal wasnt to finish No. 1 at the end of this year, but in the early parts of next year there is an opportunity.Djokovic may have to be yet a different person to handle that challenge, because while Murray is the same-old person weve known, he certainly seems like a different player. And that may be more relevant to the enterprise at hand. Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
