South Bend, IN (SportsNetwork. http://www.nfltexansteamstore.com/authentic-ryan-g...ns-jers ey/ .com) - Jerian Grant totaled 24 points and six assists as No. 14 Notre Dame outlasted Georgia Tech, 83-76, in double overtime on Saturday. Steve Vasturia had 17 points and six rebounds for the Fighting Irish (14-1, 2-0 ACC), while Zach Auguste added 13, Demetrius Jackson picked up 11 and Pat Connaughton poured in 10 points and eight boards. Marcus Georges-Hunt led the way with 20 points and eight rebounds for the Yellow Jackets (9-4, 0-1). Charles Mitchell posted 14 points and 12 boards in defeat. Grants free throw with 25 seconds left in regulation forged a 59-59 deadlock, but Georges-Hunt had his last-second layup try blocked by Auguste. In the first extra session, a Vasturia triple gave the hosts a 67-61 edge, but the visitors fought back for another tie on a Demarco Cox tip-in with 10 seconds left. Grant and Auguste both missed relatively easy chances to send the contest into its fourth period. Augustes bucket early in the second OT provided a 78-71 margin for Notre Dame, but this time the Irish clamped down, aided by poor Yellow Jacket shooting. Between Grant splitting a pair at the line with 1:18 left and Vasturias two free throws with 42 seconds remaining, Georges-Hunt missed two shots and a three along with a Robert Sampson miss. Georgia Tech dominated early, scoring 13 of the games first 15 points, and it led by 27-17 until a late Notre Dame surge pulled the hosts within 31-27 at halftime. Georges-Hunt sank two free throws and the Yellow Jackets led 43-35, then the Irish began to slowly chip away. They led for the first time in the game at 47-46 with 9:12 left on a Connaughton dunk, and were up 56-52 with 4:25 showing once Grant completed a three-point play. Game Notes Notre Dame shot 8-of-14 from the field in the two overtimes, while Georgia Tech made only 7-of-19 field goals ... Chris Bolden also totaled 14 points for the Yellow Jackets ... The Irish, who have won 10 in a row since their lone loss to Providence, heads to Chapel Hill on Monday night ... Georgia Tech hosts Syracuse on Wednesday. http://www.nfltexansteamstore.com/authentic-ben-jo...ns-jers ey/ . With long-term injuries to Braydon Coburn and Andrew MacDonald, and call-ups from Lehigh Valley a stop-gap measure, team general manager Ron Hextall sprang for some experience on the blue line. http://www.nfltexansteamstore.com/authentic-chris-...ns-jers ey/ . 1. HUGE GAME: Im here in NYC for the Raptors at Nets game Monday night. Some games are just bigger than others and this is one of them. Four games separate them for first place in the Atlantic. Tie-breaker at stake, as well. A win by the Raps would be a major step with only 20 games to play beyond this one.CINCINNATI - The AFC North race, just like so many Bengals games, is far from finished. Cincinnati has lost back-to-back games in overtime, wasting a chance to take a commanding lead in their division. Now the Bengals (6-4) are only one game ahead of the Ravens (4-5) and the Browns (4-5) in the loss column. Stirring comebacks have led to hollow endings in each of the past two games. And now, first place is no longer such a secure place. The Browns come to town on Sunday with a chance to sweep their season series and elbow their way into the front of the pack. "We pushed things forward very positively, now weve dug a little bit of a hole and weve got to climb out and play better this week against the Browns," coach Marvin Lewis said on Monday. Theyve become good at digging themselves out of holes, only to fall back in during overtime. They overcame a 17-3 deficit in the second half at Miami before losing 22-20 in overtime when Andy Dalton was sacked in the end zone for a safety. They overcame a 17-0 halftime deficit on Sunday at Baltimore, tying the game on A.J. Greens tipped catch with no time left in regulation. It wasnt enough as the Ravens won 20-17. Two strange endings. Rare ones, too. The Bengals are only the 16th team in NFL history to lose back-to-back games in overtime, according to STATS LLC. Miami was the last team to do it, dropping two in a row in OT last season. Cincinnati has played three overtime games this season, all on the road. The Bengals won in Buffalo 27-24, leaving them 1-2 in OT games. The NFL record for overtime games in a season is five by the 1983 Packers. Most overtime losses in a season? Three, by six different teams: 1983 Packers (2-3), 1983 Buccaneers (0-3), 1983 Oilers (0-3), 1997 Cardinals (1-3), 2010 Bills (0-3) and 2012 Jaguars (0-3). Theyre getting a lot of practice at it. "You cant simulate overtime," safety George Iloka said on Monday. "Weve had three overtime games this year, so that will come in handy later in the year with the P word, if were in that." He meant the playoffs. And Cincinnati is still in good position to get there. The Bengals have four of their llast six games at home, where theyre 4-0. http://www.nfltexansteamstore.com/authentic-johnat...ns-jers ey/. They also have a bye week coming. Only one of the last six teams they play has a winning record — Indianapolis, which has to play at Paul Brown Stadium. "We know what we have in front of us," cornerback Terence Newman said. "We just have to win some football games." One of the common themes in the two has been the offences horrible start. The Bengals managed only three points total in the first half against Miami and Baltimore. Dalton has followed the best three-game stretch of his career with two subpar games. Dalton has completed only 54 per cent of his passes in the past two games with two touchdowns, four interceptions and 10 sacks. His combined passer rating for the two games is 64.9, well below average. He repeatedly sailed passes on Sunday and took a sack in the closing seconds, forcing the Bengals to make a desperation throw. The pass was swatted around before it deflected directly to Green, who was to the side of the scrum for a 51-yard touchdown catch that sent it to overtime. Dalton was 24 of 51 for 274 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions on Sunday. Lewis defended his quarterback, saying he made a "brilliant" play to spike the ball with 2 seconds left after taking a sack with no timeouts left. Lewis said his receivers dropped five passes that made things much tougher. He noted that rookie tight end Tyler Eifert couldnt make a diving catch in the end zone while getting hit, forcing the Bengals to settle for a field goal on the opening drive of the second half. "But the great location of the ball by Andy, just where it needs to be against a defence he saw — again, another great play by Andy," Lewis said. "Weve got to help him out and finish the deal." Notes: The Bengals signed DE Aston Whiteside, a first-year player from Abilene Christian who spent most of last season on Chicagos practice squad and was released by the Bears on Oct. 8. The Bengals released DE DeQuin Evans, who has spent part of the past three seasons on their practice squad. ___ AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org Cheap China Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China China NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China ' ' ' nba jerseys shop
