  导出博客文章WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Cheap Rockets Jerseys Authentic . -- During Matt Painters 12 seasons coaching Purdue, the Boilermakers have suffered shocking home losses to Wofford, Bucknell and Gardner-Webb.With 7:08 remaining in Friday nights game against Georgia State, Purdue trailed 56-44 and was in danger of falling to 1-2 after making only two of its first 18 attempts from 3-point range.But with Caleb Swanigan finishing with 19 points and 11 rebounds, the Boilermakers (2-1) closed the game with a 20-0 run to salvage a 64-56 victory in an on-campus Cancun Challenge game.Dakota Mathias hit two 3-pointers and P.J. Thompson one during the game-closing run.I think the 3-pointers sealed the game, but our defense during the final 10 minutes of each of our past two games has been very good, Painter said. You obviously are not impressed by the position we put ourselves in, but I dont think our guys respected them as much as our coaching staff did.Center Isaas Haas added 11 points for Purdue, and Jeremy Hollowell had 15 to lead Georgia State (1-2), which also got 13 points from DMarcus Simonds.Give (Georgia State) a lot of credit, Mathias said. They are a good team. Something weve got to learn is to not take anyone lightly.Georgia State led 56-44 on a Malik Benlevi basket with 7:08 remaining, but Purdue pulled even at 56 on two Haas free throws with 3:57 remaining.Coming off an emotional 79-76 loss to national champion and No. 3 Villanova on Monday night, the Boilermakers were flat throughout most of the games first 33 minutes before salvaging a victory with tenacious defense during the final seven minutes.Georgia States active zone limited Purdue to 37.8 percent field goal shooting (17 of 45), including 5 of 22 from 3-point range and outrebounded the Boilermakers, 35-26. But Purdue outscored Georgia State 25-7 at the free throw line.When you are playing a really good team, youve got to take something away, Georgia State coach Ron Hunter said. You look at the numbers with their inside guys, and you want to take something away from that. I thought we did a really good job to corrall Swanigan to 19 and Haaas to 11.Hollowell had 13 points and three assists in the first half to help Georgia State to a 30-27 advantage.Swanigan had 12 points and five rebounds at halftime, but no other Boilermakers scored more than four during the opening 20 minutes when taller Purdue was outrebounded, 18-15.The Boilermakers stayed close by outscoring Georgia State 10-4 from the free throw line.BIG PICTURE:Georgia State: Coach Ron Hunters team has averaged 20 victories during his five seasons at the school, and the Panthers proved again Friday night why they will be a strong candidate for an NCAA tournament berth.Purdue: While the Boilermakers finally wore Georgia State down, Purdues backcourt weaknesses were revealed, making only two of their first 18 attempts from 3-point range and failing to pound the ball inside effectively against the smaller Panthers.FOUL PLAYIn trying to contain Swanigan and Haas, Georgia States Willie Clayton, Isaiah Dennis and Malik Benlevi all fouled out before the second halfs 9:30 mark. Georgia State was called for 31 fouls while Purdue was called for 16.POLL IMPLICATIONSWhat will voters do with No. 15 Purdue after the Boilermakers played so well in Mondays loss to Villanova and then played poorly for the first 33 minutes against Georgia State before closing the game with a 20-0 run.UP NEXT:Georgia State: The Panthers will play the NJIT on Tuesday in the Cancun Challenge.Purdue: The Boilermakers head to Cancun, Mexico to play against Utah State.

On Tuesday, Ottawa placed forward Cory Conacher and defenceman Joe Corvo on waivers as trade rumours swirl around the Senators. TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints are rare division rivals to have still not played each other this season.As they face off twice in three weeks, theres much on the line, especially for the streaking Buccaneers, who have won four straight to move into playoff contention.This is a big game for both teams because of the way the scheduling falls, where New Orleans plays us twice and Atlanta once in the last three weeks, Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter said Wednesday. We have three division games in the last four weeks, so that makes this game -- the way our division is so tight right now, these division games are huge.Us and Atlanta sitting there at 7-5, New Orleans at 5-7, just do the math for New Orleans and were not too far ahead. So its going to be huge.The Saints (5-7) lost 28-13 at home to Detroit on Sunday, which put them two games behind the Buccaneers, who are tied with Atlanta for the NFC South lead.Not only does New Orleans play Tampa Bay twice, but it also plays at Atlanta, so theres a sense of controlling its fate, even if the odds are unlikely at this point.Weve just got to play this one, Saints coach Sean Payton said Wednesday. But I think were going to play Tampa twice here in three weeks, were going to play Atlanta and were going to play at Arizona. We are going to have to play well on the road because three of the four are on the road.I think when the schedule comes out, sometimes you get, its unique to be playing a team in your division or not have played them when you hit December and thats the case with our two teams.The Buccaneers have turned their season around since falling to 3-5 with lopsided home losses to the Oakland Raiders and Falcons. In four straight wins since, theyve held opponents to 13 points per game and have led the league in takeaways. On Sunday in a win over San Diego, linebacker Lavonte David returned one interception for a touchdown and safety Keith Tandy picked off another in the end zone to seal a 28-21 road win.The Saints are another challenge entirely, leading the NFL in total offense and passing offeense, ranking second in scoring offense and first in third-down conversions.

Quarterback Drew Brees leads the league in yards and touchdown passes (30) and is on course for his fifth career 5,000-yard season, incredible considering that every other quarterback in NFL history has combined for four.Tampa Bay is building confidence around second-year quarterback Jameis Winston, who has been able to limit his turnovers and still make plays, like a go-ahead touchdown pass to tight end Cameron Brate in the fourth quarter Sunday in San Diego.The Buccaners are dangerously thin at receiver -- Mike Evans is among the leagues best, second in the NFL with 10 touchdown catches, but veterans Vincent Jackson, Louis Murphy and Cecil Shorts are all out for the remainder of the season.Even second-year receiver Adam Humphries might miss Sundays game with a concussion suffered in Sundays win, leaving younger, less proven players to step up.On Sunday, that will include former Eagles receiver Josh Huff, promoted from the practice squad to replace Shorts, four weeks after the Buccaneers added him to their practice squad following an arrest in New Jersey on gun and marijuana charges and subsequent release by Philadelphia.Huff will add speed to the Buccaneers downfield passing game and could also upgrade their kickoff returns. Tampa Bay ranks last in the league, with a long of 24 yards all season. Running back Charles Sims, a pass-catching threat out of the backfield who has been sidelined since Week 4, was activated off injured reserve Saturday.Many of the Buccaneers biggest wins have come on the road, but theyve won two straight at home, and Koetter recognized a surge in the attendance to match the one in the standings.Its been fantastic, thats what its been, he said. Thats how it should be and thats how we should keep it. Weve got to do our part and the fans are definitely doing theirs. Appreciate it, appreciate it very much. Lets do it this week, too. ' ' '
