TUSCALOOSA, Ala.
Paul George Team USA Jersey . -- Blake Sims passed for two touchdowns and rushed for a third in three quarters and might
have staked his claim as No. 3 Alabamas undisputed starting quarterback in a
52-12 victory over Southern Miss on Saturday night. Sims was 12-of-17 passing
for 168 yards for the Crimson Tide (3-0) ahead of the teams Southeastern
Conference opener against Florida. Jake Coker didnt come in until late in the
third quarter against the Golden Eagles (1-2), who have lost 25 of their last 27
games. Most of Sims completions went to the nations leading receiver, Amari
Cooper. Cooper had eight catches for 135 yards and a touchdown to tie DJ Halls
school record of five consecutive 100-yard games set in 2006. Kenyan Drake
scored three touchdowns and produced 59 yards on nine rushes. Sims also ran five
times for 46 yards, including a 4-yard touchdown. Coker did open by leading
Alabama on a 99-yard scoring drive. Nick Mullens completed 19 of 35 passes for
207 yards to lead Southern Miss. Corey Acosta had field goals of 33, 43, 37 and
30 yards to account for all the points by Southern Miss. Alabama outgained the
Golden Eagles 547-263 in total yards, allowing just 56 rushing yards. The Tide
ran for 333 yards, led by Derrick Henrys 11 carries for 73 yards. Cooper
accounted for 108 of Sims 123 passing yards in the first half. He moved past
Ozzie Newsome into the Tides No. 3 spot for career receiving yards. Coker got
into the game with 2:10 left in the third quarter with Alabama at the 1. He
completed all three of his attempts for 36 yards before Drake scampered 29 yards
for his third touchdown and a 42-9 lead. Coker finished 5-of-7 passing for 46
yards. His third-down sack forced Alabama to settle for a 30-yard Adam Griffith
field goal. The Florida State transfer and Sims had battled through preseason
camp and split time in a rout of Florida Atlantic. Sims played all but the final
minutes of the opening win against West Virginia and didnt leave this one until
it was well in hand either. Southern Miss scored field goals on its first and
last drive of the opening half, but managed just 4 yards in the second quarter.
Two of Acostas kicks were set up by Alabama mistakes. Tyler Sarrazins punt
bounced off Alabamas Tyren Jones, giving the Golden Eagles the ball at the 29.
They couldnt get anywhere but Acosta got them three points, and he added the
37-yarder in the third quarter on a drive kept alive by safety Nick Perrys
targeting flag on a third-down incompletion. Perry will miss the first half of
the Florida game. He posted an apology to Alabama fans on his Twitter page
before the quarter was done, saying that "My boys will take care of business."
Ramon Sessions Wizards Jersey . The world No. 1 had one of the most dominating performances in a final and was on his way to a
possible shutout on Sunday until the third-seeded Berdych broke the super Serbs
serve in the 12th game of the match.
C.J. Watson Magic Jersey . The incident occurred at 6:28 of the first period in Anaheims 6-3 home win over Dallas on
Sunday. Garbutt left the penalty box and skated at Penner before leaving his
skates to deliver a check.ST. LOUIS -- Julius Randle had 19 points and 15
rebounds, Aaron Harrison finished with 18 points and No. 8 seed Kentucky held on
to beat Kansas State 56-49 on Friday night to earn a date with top-seeded
Wichita State in the NCAA tournament. The preseason No. 1, Kentucky (25-10) is
finally starting to live up to the expectations that came with its heralded
recruiting class. John Caliparis bunch nearly knocked of Florida in the SEC
title game last week and seemed to carry that momentum right into the Scottrade
Center. Now, the question is whether it will continue on Sunday. The Shockers,
on the top line of the Midwest Region, rolled over Cal Poly to improve to 35-0.
Marcus Foster had 15 points, Shane Southwell scored 11 and Thomas Gipson
finished with 10 for Kansas State (20-13), which started in a 1-0 hole after a
technical for a dunk in pregame warm-ups. The No. 9 seed then struggled to hit
from the perimeter against Kentuckys tall lineup. Kansas State was just 5 of 21
from 3-point range. Foster was 1 of 7. The victory is the start of what Kentucky
hopes is an NCAA tournament of validation. The team stocked with highly
recruited freshmen has been criticized for failing to live up to lofty
expectations, losing several times to overmatched and undermanned opponents. Of
course, all of that becomes moot when the NCAA tournament begins. Kentucky has
won 21 of its last 22 games to open the dance, when the lights are brightest and
the games mean the most. Meanwhile, Kansas State was in troouble even before its
tournament began.
Kyle Lowry Raptors Jersey. . Sophomore walk-on Brian Rohleder, who played only 31 minutes all season, earned a
technical foul for that pre-game dunk. NCAA rules prohibit dunking with less
than 20 minutes until tip, and Rohleders dunk came with 19:58 showing on the
clock. Andrew Harrison made one of two free throws while fans from both schools
showered the officials with derision, and Kentucky led 1-0 when the game finally
started. The SEC tournament runner-up built on its advantage through the opening
minutes, the Harrison twins each knocking down a series of outside shots.
Kentucky pushed the lead to 29-17 with 2:23 to go on Randles basket, but Kansas
State answered with six straight points to end the half. Bruce Webers team
trimmed the lead to 35-33, only for Kentucky to regain control when Southwell
was hit with a technical for arguing a no-call on a drive to the basket.
Kentucky stretched its lead to 44-36 midway through the second half, and
whenever its rival Wildcats threatened to get closer, Randle was there to answer
the call. The bruising forward stuck back a miss to make it 46-38 with 8:02
remaining, converted a three-point play a few minutes later, and then scored
again at the rim for a 51-40 advantage. Kansas State closed to 55-49 on Fosters
off-balance 3-pointer with 24 seconds to go. But a team that replaced most of
its key players from a season ago and defied expectations all year eventually
ran out of time on its comeback bid.
