We used the mentality of `nothing free tonight. I knew they were going to try to double-team me, but I was ready for it. I knew they werent going to be able to stop me.Shavar Newkirk scored 21 points, Charlie Brown had 13 and Lamarr Kimble 10 for the Hawks (3-1), who led twice in the first half, the last at 28-24 on Chris Clovers 3-pointer with 8:56 left.But Mississippi responded with a 15-5 run over the next five minutes, with Browns 3-pointer with 3:54 remaining giving the Rebels a 39-33 lead, their biggest of the half.Mississippis biggest lead came in the final six minutes, with Justa Furmanavicius tipping in a missed Burnett layup for a 73-57 margin with 5:26 left.We had too many missed plays, said Saint Josephs coach Phil Martelli, whose team was 10 of 22 from the free throw line Sunday. We had to keep them off the glass, and didnt do that. But it was our foul shooting -- we started off 0-for-6 to start the half, and we cant be in those situations.BIG PICTURESaint Josephs: Even with the loss, the Hawks are off to their best start since the 2005-2006 season, when they also opened 3-1.

ATHENS, Ga. -- There has been good reason to question Georgias worthiness as a Top 25 team for three straight weeks.The No. 12 Bulldogs have had 10-point deficits in each of their two games against FBS teams, and they struggled to beat FBS Nicholls by only two points.Even so, Georgia players say their confidence is soaring as they prepare to play No. 23 Mississippi on Saturday. Thats because Georgia (3-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) keeps finding ways to win.The most dramatic example of the Bulldogs determination came in last weeks 28-27 win over Missouri when it took the lead on Jacob Easons 20-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah McKenzie with 1:31 remaining.Eason, a freshman, threw the go-ahead scoring pass on a fourth-and-10 play. That was just the pickup in morale the Bulldogs needed following the shaky 26-24 win over Nicholls.It says a lot about who we are, Georgia linebacker Reggie Carter said Monday. Were starting to create an identity as a team who always fights and plays hard. ... I love my team, I just really love this team.The Bulldogs have staged successful comebacks after trailing North Carolina 24-14 in the third quarter and Missouri 10-0 in the first half.I think it has shown a resiliency in our team, being able to have those kinds of wins, said fullback Christian Payne. It shows were not going to stop, were not going to give up or anything like that. Were going to keep fighting, keep chopping, until we get the victory.McKenzie has emerged as a go-to playmaker on a team which began the season leaning heavily on tailback Nick Chubb. Georgia won its SEC opener against Missouri even as Chubb was held to 63 yards rushing without a touchdown.McKenzie, best known as a return specialist in his first two seasons, leads the SEC with five touchdowns and is second with 101.7 yards receiving per gaame.dddddddddddd He set career highs with 10 catches for 122 yards and two touchdowns against Missouri.Eason passed for 308 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in his second start. Eason played every snap, and his game-winning drive affirmed he has a solid hold on the starting job.Coach Kirby Smart said last week he wasnt ready to declare a firm winning in the long competition between Eason and senior Greyson Lambert. Smart said Monday Eason will start against Ole Miss.Jacobs going to be able to start our game, assuming he has a good week of practice, Smart said. Thats the plan going forward, that if he continues to practice well and do the right things then hell be the starter.Smart said he wont allow Eason -- or any freshman -- to be interviewed this season. Weve got a policy here, and Jacob Eason adheres to that policy, too, Smart said.Eason has not been available for interviews since signing day in February. Even though Georgia has not approved any media requests to interview freshmen this season, Monday was the first time the policy was clarified to be in place throughout the season.Game notes Smart was testy in answering questions about his offensive line, which has allowed nine sacks and has struggled at times in run-blocking, including against Nicholls. He asked What went on last year? He noted most of the players on the line are the same as in 2015 and his staff is working to make the players stronger. He also said coaches already have tried every combination on the line. The new starters on the line are Rhode Island transfer Tyler Catalina at left tackle and Lamont Gaillard at right guard.---AP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jersyes Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
