They picked us apart with their shooting and execution. We worked all week on doubling the post, which is something we have to do.They hurt us in transition and they did about what theyve been doing from the field. They really cut us to shreds and we attacked their zone poorly.I.J. Ready scored 19 of his 20 points in the second half for Mississippi State.

Fortunately, we were able to hold them to one shot we were active enough to get them out of a rhythm, offensively.Mississippi State shot 41.3 percent for the game and made 7 of 22 from beyond the arc.The Mountain Hawks led by as many as 21 in the second half.Lehigh won the battle of the boards 39-32 with Holba grabbing eight boards.Lehigh outscored Mississippi State 38-28 in the paint and held a 13-4 advantage in bench scoring.BIG PICTUREMississippi State: Friday marked Mississippi States first game without leading-scorer Quinndary Weatherspoon.

It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days.

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.WASHINGTON -- The Dustin Byfuglien at forward experiment might be a short-lived one for the United States.Byfuglien played on the wing during the Americans 3-2 victory over Finland in their final exhibition game Tuesday night and had the lowest ice time of any player. Coach John Tortorella explained the move earlier in the day as a way to see the six other defensemen on the roster.Were still trying to make some decisions on where people fit and in our mind we always felt Buff was kind of a wild card moving into a couple of different positions, so well see, Tortorella said.Byfuglien had a big hit on Finlands Olli Maatta, but skated just 10:32 in a fourth-line role. After splitting his NHL career between forward and defense, the 31-year-old Byfuglien became an All-Star defenseman the past couple of seasons with the Winnipeg Jets and didnt seem too comfortable going back up front Tuesday.Its definitely not my favorite spot, Byfuglien said afterward. Its just something they wanted to try and that was it.Asked about his hit and some other impacts he made, Byfuglien said: Its my ice time. Ive got to do what I got to do, what Im told to do.Byfuuglien should be back on the blue line when the U.ddddddddddddS. opens the tournament Saturday against Team Europe. Tortorella loves what the 6-foot-5, 265-pound Byfuglien brings with his shot on the power play.Were not putting him in front of the net, Tortorella said. Were going to have him shoot the puck because he can shoot it pretty hard. I hope hes a weapon.Byfuglien is a unique player because of his skating ability for his size, physicality and his shot. U.S. winger Patrick Kane, who won the 2010 Stanley Cup with Byfuglien as a forward on the Chicago Blackhawks, appreciates the Minneapolis natives versatility.He kind of plays that rover style of game, anyway, where hes all over the ice and in front of the net hes a big body, Kane said.Hes a special player. Hes one of those guys thats kind of a rare breed of skill and power and hes fast for his size. Hes pretty much got everything. Hes very physical, as well. He can do anything out there.---Follow Stephen Whyno on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/SWhyno .[url=http://www.authentice and in front of the net hes a big bodasketball Jerseys[/url] Wholesale Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
