| SAN DIEGO -- San Diego State coach Steve Fisher thought about giving Winston Shepard a breather just past the midway mark of the second half in a close game against Air Force. Noah Syndergaard Jersey . It turns out the last thing the sophomore forward needed was a spot on the bench. Shepard scored 14 of his 16 points in the final 7 minutes, 14 seconds and the No. 5 Aztecs bounced back from their first loss since mid-November to beat Air Force 64-56 on Saturday night. Shepard started his hot streak by keying a 9-0 run with a 3-pointer, a slam dunk following a steal by Xavier Thames and two free throws. After the Falcons closed to 54-50 with 2:28 to go, Shepard converted a three-point play and hit two more free throws to give SDSU some breathing room. "I was having a tough night up to that point," Shepard said. "Honestly, I have to thank my teammates, X Thames, coach Fish; they stuck with me and had encouraging words for me. I just wanted to go out there and continue to help my team." Shepard made seven of nine free throws. "With the style of basketball I play, being able to handle the ball, I find myself in the paint a lot," he said. "I was taught a rule when I was young, when you get to the paint, at worst, you have to get to the free throw line. Not only that, a lot of the time tonight I wasnt handling the ball. My teammates were finding me under the basket. I have to credit my teammates with that and once again Id like to thank them for sticking with me and finding me in spots." Said Fisher: "I thought it was time for him to get a break and he made a 3 and then made a rebound or steal and we rode with him for a while and he performed. He did a nice job. "Winston is a very, very smart basketball player," Fisher added, noting that hes getting better at passing and shooting free throws. "He knows how to and has the ability to get to the rim. Hes a good player. Hes a hard guard. He played the next play. Sometimes all of us, Winston in particular, if youre not careful you worry about what just happened and all of sudden something negative happens on the next trip. Hes much, much better on that front, and thats allowed him to grow." Thames and Dwayne Polee II each scored 13 points for SDSU (22-2, 11-1 Mountain West), which had its 20-game winning streak snapped Tuesday night at Wyoming. It was SDSUs first loss since a 69-60 home defeat to Arizona on Nov. 14. Josh Davis had 10 rebounds. Max Yon scored 20 and Kamryn Williams 12 for Air Force (10-14, 4-9). The Falcons leading scorer, Tre Coggins, was held to nine points, nearly seven below his average. "They were really on him," coach Dave Pilipovich said of the Aztecs play on Coggins. "They were there on the catch and they are so long with their extra length and size that he couldnt create a little space to create an advantage there." Coggins had 29 points in a 79-72 home loss to the Aztecs on Jan. 13. "Trey had an off night, so somebody had to step up," Yon said. "So Kam Williams and I took over the scoring a little bit, but it just wasnt our night. "I think we handled their pressure better this time around, but they are long. We did a good job rebounding. But being in this environment, with them at home, is an advantage for them. But we are right there and can play with anybody with the way we battled." With the game tied at 28 four minutes into the second half, Thames made consecutive 3-pointers and Polee had a tip-in and then a slam dunk on an alley-oop pass from Shepard to give the Aztecs a 38-28 lead. Air Force closed to 44-40 on Yons three-point play and a reverse layup by DeLovell Earls sandwiched around a 3-pointer by SDSUs Aqeel Quinn. Shepard then came on strong for SDSU during a 9-0 run that gave the Aztecs a 53-40 lead with 5:20 left. Shepard had a 3-pointer, a slam dunk after a steal and pass by Thames and two free throws. JJ OBrien had a bank shot. San Diego State led 24-23 at halftime after scoring 12 of the final 18 points. David Wright Jersey . As each game passes (each has played close with the exception of last night) it becomes clearer just how evenly matched these two teams are and how one mistake, or one bad inning, is likely to sway the result. Mike Piazza Jersey .J. -- The NHL reduced its penalty against the New Jersey Devils on Thursday for signing Ilya Kovalchuk in 2010. http://www.metsbaseballauthentic.com/tug-mcgraw-mets-jersey/ .ca. Kerry, In Mondays Habs/Bruins game, there were three questionable/brutal calls against the Habs late in the game - Tomas Plekanec, then Douglas Murray, then Brendan Gallagher.Regina, SK - Being the new kid on the block is never easy, but when it comes to being the latest addition to the CFL, the Ottawa RedBlacks appear to be reaching new lows. Ottawa, which returned to the CFL this season, has won a grand total of one game in 10 opportunities, and that was by a mere point against Toronto, 18-17, during Week 4 action. Since then, the RedBlacks have dropped seven in a row, a streak that the squad hopes to bring to an end this weekend as it visits the Saskatchewan Roughriders at Mosaic Stadium. You can catch all the action starting at 4pm et/1pm pt on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4 and TSN5. Very little has gone right for the RedBlacks to this point, obviously, and there is little reason to think there will be a change in the trend in the immediate future. The last time Ottawa took the field, back on Sept. 5, it hosted British Columbia and managed to keep the scoring low, but even then the team could not muster even a single major, leaving the RedBlacks on the short end of a 7-5 decision. It marked the third time in four games that Ottawa was limited to single digits in the scoring column and in all but two outings the club has been held to 18 points or less, which explains why they are dead last in the CFL in scoring heading into play this week with a paltry 14.1 ppg. To say that the Ottawa offense struggled versus BC would be an understatement, as the hosts logged only 11 first downs and 220 yards in total. Perhaps the poor effort would be better explained if Ottawa hurt itself with constant penalties, but the team was flagged just six times for a loss of 30 yards. Quarterback Henry Burris, who was third on the team in rushing in the meeting with four yards on two carries, converted 21-of-32 passes for 188 yards and an interception, all while being sacked three times. The so-called rushing attack put up a pitiful 16 yards on 12 carries. In addition to being next-to-last in the league in yards per game (284.9), ahead of only Montreal by less than 17 ypg, the RedBlacks have displayed the weakest defense (outside of the BC meeting) by permitting a massive 393.8 ypg. As bad as the season has been for the RedBlacks, they might be in store for a bit of positive news, given that Saskatchewan is having to go with backup quarterback Tino Sunseri after Darian Durant went down with an injury a couple weeks back. Durant, who has thrown for more than 24,000 yards and 133 touchdowns in his nine seasons with the Riders, suffered a significant arm injury during a 30-24 win against Winnipeg earlier thiss month and has subsequently been placed on the six-game injury list, leaving open the possibility that he might be available for the postseason, but thats wishful thinking right now. Tom Seaver Jersey. . With Durant out of uniform, the Riders turned to Sunseri versus Hamilton last week and were exposed in a miserable 28-3 loss on the road. Sunseri converted only nine of his 21 pass attempts for 88 yards and an interception, while suffering five sacks. Reserve signal caller Seth Doege completed both of his pass attempts for 12 yards, but still the team was kept far from the end zone. With a scoring average of 23.7 ppg this season, the Riders have shown that they can produce on offense, but last week there were also signs of how they could easily be managed by an aggressive defense. Clearly, the change in quarterback had a lot to do with Saskatchewans poor performance, but there have to be other players who can step up for the Riders and make the transition a bit smoother moving forward. As if it were any surprise, the Riders won the first meeting of the season during Week 6 action with a 38-14 blowout on the road in Ottawa. Saskatchewan not only led 24-0 after the first 15 minutes of action, the visitors were also ahead 32-0 in the second quarter before the RedBlacks finally put points on the board, courtesy of a fumble recovery in the end zone by Dobson Collins. Saskatchewan managed just a pair of field goals in the second half, but by then the damage had already been done. Running back Will Ford reached the end zone twice as he produced a game-high 74 yards on 20 rushing attempts, while Rob Bagg helped to move the chains with his six catches for 123 yards for the visitors. Durant missed on only six of his 25 passes, leading to 294 yards and a score. Burris and Thomas DeMarco handled the passing responsibilities for the RedBlacks the first time around, combining to hit on 22-of-39 passes for 301 yards, but the pair was sacked three times and the former picked off twice. The RedBlacks certainly didnt do themselves any favors while being hit with a staggering 19 penalties for a loss of 168 yards. Because of all those miscues the team was often taken out of scoring range and the result there had kicker Brett Maher missing all four of his field goal tries in front of the hometown crowd. While the RedBlacks may be new to the league this season, there have been CFL teams based in Ottawa previously, which explains how Saskatchewan could have a 39-23 advantage in the all-time series between the two.
