After a sloppy start, Indiana (7-1) settled down and handled Sa- vannah State’s (3-6) full-court pres- sure, consistently knocking down open looks in the half court when the Tigers’ fell back into a 2-3 zone. The Tigers got their fair share of looks against Indiana as well, but struggled to convert, shooting 32 percent from the field and 23 percent from behind the arc. Indiana was led by the back- court tandem of junior point guard Yogi Ferrell and freshman James Blackmon Jr., with each scoring 18 points. Along with Fer- rell and Blackmon Jr., the Hoo- siers had a balanced scoring at- tack, with 10 players getting in the scoring column, including four players in double figures. After leading by just three at the under 12-minute media time- out, Indiana closed the rest of the half on a 31-8 run to go into half- time up 43-17. Indiana freshman Emmitt Holt followed his 15-point performance in Indiana’s win over Pittsburgh Tuesday by scoring eight points on three shots and going 4-of-4 from the free throw line. Holt also added five rebounds, two blocks and a steal. North Florida 73, Purdue 70: Trail- ing Purdue by seven points with 3:11 remaining Saturday, North Florida appeared on the verge of falling to 0-12 all-time against the Big Ten Conference, including 0-2 against Purdue. Guard Dallas Moore and re- serve forward Demarcus Daniels, however, would have none of it, helping rally the Ospreys to a come-from-behind victory against the Boilermakers (6-2). Guard Jalen Nesbitt’s perfect pass to Daniels created a three- point play with 1:30 remaining, giving North Florida a 63-62 ad- vantage, and Moore’s pressure- packed 3-pointer from the right corner with 54 seconds to go gave the Ospreys a 66-62 lead. Moore led North Florida with 24 points, including 16 during the piv- otal second half, and Daniels added 17 points and eight rebounds. A.J. Hammons had 16 points and seven rebounds, and Isaac Haas added 14 points and six re- bounds for the Boilermakers, who outrebounded the Ospreys, 50-39. North Florida outscored Pur- due 18-8 during the final 2:53. “We just kept playing,” Moore said. “Coach told us to keep press- ing on, because they were going to make runs. The whole thing we wanted to do was sustain the effort. Notre Dame 75, Fairleigh Dickin- son 57: Prior to Saturday’s game against Fairleigh Dickinson, Notre Dame coach Mike Brey made sure his team was aware of other re- sults from around the country. Most notably, the four teams — No. 15 Miami, No. 17 Michigan, Georgia Tech, and Purdue — that last week were winners in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, but lost on Saturday. Just seeing those scores had Brey on high alert. “I get tight as a drum,” Brey said. “And the kicker, when I get in my car, I looked out and there’s a full moon, too. So, then I was re- ally wacky.” Thanks to Pat Connaughton’s 19 points, Jerian Grant’s 15 points, and a double-double of 11 points and 11 rebounds from Zach Au- guste, Notre Dame managed to turn back Fairleigh Dickinson. No. 1 Kentucky 82, Eastern Ken- tucky 49: Karl-Anthony Towns scored a career-high 19 points and Kentucky rolled on Sunday night. Two days after a hard-fought victory over No. 6 Texas, the Wild- cats (9-0) had it significantly easier against the neighboring Colonels, whose campus is located about 20 miles from Lexington. Despite making its first 3-pointer with 2:57 remaining, Kentucky still shot 33- of-58 from the field (57 percent). No. 2 Wisconsin 49, Marquette 38: Josh Gasser scored 12 points on four 3-pointers and 7-footer Frank Kaminsky added 15 points and 10 rebounds for Wisconsin. No. 3 Arizona 66, No. 9 Gonzaga 63, OT: T.J. McConnell scored six of his 12 points in overtime and Ari- zona held on after Byron Wesley air-balled the first of three missed free throws with 3.3 seconds left. NJIT 72, No. 17 Michigan 70: Da- mon Lynn made a critical 3-point- er and finished with 20 points to help New Jersey Institute of Tech- nology get the upset. No. 23 Butler 65, Northwestern 56: Kellen Dunham scored 19 points, and Butler held off a late charge by Northwestern. Ball State 70, Indiana State 63: Francis Kiapway hit back-to-back 3-pointers with less than two min- utes remaining to help Ball Sate pull away. Evansville 89, IUPUI 62: D.J.

Donovan, Keane and the Gal- axy have won three of the last four league championships, celebrat- ing all three on their home field. Donovan won the sixth trophy of his 14-year MLS career, adding his fourth title with the Galaxy to a pair from early in his career with San Jose. Coach Bruce Are- na won his record fifth MLS Cup, including the last three with the Galaxy, who haven’t lost at home since their season opener. SPORTS NOTEBOOK

S C O R E B O A R DIU coasts; Boilermakers tripped upBy The Associated Press

BLOOMINGTON — Indiana rout-ed an outmatched Savannah State team 95-49 Saturday night, follow-

ing the Hoo-siers’ win over Pittsburgh in

the Big Ten/ACC challenge.After a sloppy start, Indiana

(7-1) settled down and handled Sa-vannah State’s (3-6) full-court pres-sure, consistently knocking down open looks in the half court when the Tigers’ fell back into a 2-3 zone.

The Tigers got their fair share of looks against Indiana as well, but struggled to convert, shooting 32 percent from the field and 23 percent from behind the arc.

Indiana was led by the back-court tandem of junior point guard Yogi Ferrell and freshman James Blackmon Jr., with each scoring 18 points.

Referees’ fist bump prompts ire from BillsBy The Associated Press

DENVER — After C.J. Anderson bulled in for his second touch-down of the day, the Broncos

celebrated.So did the

refs.Moments after Anderson’s

1-yard touchdown in the second quarter of Denver’s 24-17 win over Buffalo on Sunday, line judge John Hussey and umpire Carl Pagan-elli fist bumped after making what turned out to be the correct call.

Bills safety Aaron Williams wasn’t amused. After the game, he linked the video of the officials’ reaction to a tweet that said: “No excuse for my performance, but can’t win playing 16 vs 11 thought I’d seen it all. ...”

(For the record, there are nine officials for NFL games, which would have made it 20 vs. 11.)

The NFL had no problem with the gesture.

‘I Can’t Breathe’ latest message LANDOVER, Md. — A week after their “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot!” show of solidarity, several St. Louis Rams players made another societal statement with the mes-sage: “I Can’t Breathe.”

The slogan refers to Eric Gar-ner, who died after a New York po-lice officer placed him in a choke-

hold during an arrest for selling loose cigarettes. A grand jury de-cided last week that it would not indict the officer. A video of the arrest showed Garner gasping, “I can’t breathe.”

Guard Davin Joseph wrote the words on the cleats he wore dur-ing pregame warmups before the Rams beat the Washington Red-skins 24-0. Tight end Jared Cook had it written on his wrist tape. Receiver Kenny Britt had sev-eral names — including Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin — written on his blue and gold cleats.

Players at other NFL games expressed similar sentiments. Detroit Lions running back Reg-gie Bush had “I Can’t Breathe” written in black across his blue warmup shirt. Browns cornerback Johnson Bademosi wrote the mes-sage on the back of the shirt he wore before a game in Cleveland.

Big Ten sends 10 to bowl gamesDES MOINES, Iowa — Every bowl-eligible team in the Big Ten will go to the postseason after all.

The league had 10 eligible teams, but was at risk of fill-ing just nine spots if Michigan State had been picked for the Or-ange Bowl. But Mississippi State earned the nod over the Spartans by finishing a spot ahead of them in the final playoff rankings.

That in turn opened up a spot for the Big Ten in the Citrus Bowl.

Michigan State will now face Baylor in the Cotton Bowl, while Minnesota will play Missouri in the Citrus.

The program that appeared to be in the most peril was Illinois, which finished just 6-6. But the Il-lini are in the Heart of Dallas bowl against Louisiana Tech.

Spieth sizzles with 66WINDERMERE, Fla. — Jordan Spieth won the Hero World Chal-lenge with a performance tour-nament host Tiger Woods could appreciate.

Staked to a seven-shot lead, Spieth blew away an elite field at Isleworth and set two tourna-ment records when he closed with a 6-under 66 for a 10-shot victory over Henrik Stenson of Sweden.

The 21-year-old from Texas won his second straight tourna-ment in dominant fashion. Spi-eth won the Australian Open last week by six, and even a trip half-way around the world didn’t slow his momentum.

He finished at 26-under 262, breaking the tournament record of 266 set by Woods in 2007 and Da-vis Love III in 2000, both of those scores at Sherwood Country Club in California. His 10-shot margin of victory broke Woods’ record.

Woods, in his first tournament in four months while recovering from back injuries, closed with a 72. He tied for last place in the 18-man field with Hunter Mahan, 26 shots out of the lead.

Donovan ends career with titleCARSON, Calif. — Landon Dono-van is retiring as a champion, thanks to one brilliant goal by Robbie Keane.

Keane scored on a breakaway in the 111th minute, and Donovan won his record sixth MLS title in the LA Galaxy’s 2-1 victory over the New England Revolution in the MLS Cup.

Gyasi Zardes scored in the 52nd minute as the Galaxy won their record fifth league title in the fi-nal game for Donovan, the MLS career scoring leader and most accomplished soccer player in U.S. history.

Donovan, Keane and the Gal-axy have won three of the last four league championships, celebrat-ing all three on their home field.

Donovan won the sixth trophy of his 14-year MLS career, adding his fourth title with the Galaxy to a pair from early in his career with San Jose. Coach Bruce Are-na won his record fifth MLS Cup, including the last three with the Galaxy, who haven’t lost at home since their season opener.
