LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. Cristian Roldan Seattle Sounders Jersey . -- Oklahoma State won for the second straight day after blowing a comfortable lead. Marcus Smart scored 17 points as the No. 5 Cowboys survived a major scare in a 69-67 win over Butler in an Old Spice Classic semifinal on Friday. "A great game," Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said. "It was very emotional and very high-level. It felt like an NCAA tournament-type game. Two teams that were wanting to win really badly." Oklahoma State (7-0) again came out flat to start the second half, one day after the Cowboys saw a 23-point halftime lead dwindle to four with 3 minutes to play before beating Purdue 97-87. "Were not paying attention to details as much as we are in the first half," Ford said. With the Cowboys holding a 68-67 lead in the final minute, Smart missed three free throws, including the front end of a 1-and-1. Butlers Khyle Marshall was fouled with 8.4 seconds remaining, but missed both free throws. "Its always tough to lose," Butler coach Brandon Miller said. "When you lose, and its a one-point game or a two-point game, sometimes you can beat yourself up over one mistake here, one mistake there, especially at the end of the game. I think mistakes, or a lack of execution, or a missed shot at the end of the game sometimes gets highlighted more than what it should. "Basketball is a 40-minute game. We didnt execute very well at the beginning of the game. The first half of the game got us." LeBryan Nash made it 69-67 by hitting 1 of 2 from the line before Butlers Elijah Brown had his last second 3-point shot blocked by Michael Cobbins. Nash added 15 points for the Cowboys, who will face No. 21 Memphis in Sunday nights championship game. "My first initial thought is Oklahoma State is a heck of a basketball team," Miller said. "Obviously, very talented. When you have one of the best players, if not the best player in the country in Marcus Smart and the way he fights and leads his team, he sets the standard for his team." Butler (5-1) got 15 points from Brown. Kellen Dunham, who set a tourney record with 32 points in Thursdays 76-69 victory over Washington State, finished with nine, while Marshall, coming off a 30-point performance Thursday, had eight. This was the first meeting between the teams since Butler beat Oklahoma State 49-26 on Feb. 12, 1934. Alex Barlow keyed Butlers initial surge by connecting on a pair of 3-pointers to get the Bulldogs within 48-41 five minutes into the second half. Phil Fotre made two long-range jumpers and Smart had a couple driving baskets as Oklahoma State responded and grabbed a 66-57 lead with 6 1/2 minutes to play. Dunham and the Bulldogs made a final run, pulling within 68-65 with three minutes remaining when the guard hit a 3 and then converted a three-point play. Smart had the ball stolen by Erik Fromm on Oklahoma States next possession and Marshall got a rebound basket at the other end to make it 68-67. "In the second half, we werent scoring quite as much. We were taking some questionable shots that led for easy points for them," Ford said. Nash had 10 points, helping Oklahoma take a 44-30 halftime advantage. Five different Cowboys had at least six points during the opening 20 minutes. Smart had a slam and Markel Brown made a jumper to give the Cowboys their biggest lead of the first half, at 44-28, 1:48 before the break. Smart had 30 points in Thursdays tournament opener.

Stefan Frei Jersey .com) - Cincinnati Reds pitcher Mat Latos had an arthroscopic procedure performed on his right elbow last week, the teams official site reported Wednesday.COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- The offence clicked on the ground and in the air, amassing 551 yards on 98 plays. The defence came up big during a pivotal stretch of the third quarter, and special teams contributed 16 points. It was a relentless performance by No. 9 Clemson, which returned to form in grand style Saturday in a 40-27 victory over injury-riddled Maryland. Tajh Boyd threw for a touchdown and ran for a score, Sammy Watkins had a school-record 14 catches for 163 yards and Roderick McDowell rushed for 161 yards and two touchdowns to help the Tigers (7-1, 5-1 ACC) rebound from last weeks 51-14 defeat against Florida State. "Its good to get the win, get back on track," coach Dabo Swinney said. "We had a great week, we really did. I thought our guys bounced back. If there was a hangover, if we werent focused, this team could have gone south in a hurry. But it didnt. It responded. Thats what great teams do. "Everybody was disappointed with a loss last week, but heck, theres a lot of teams out there that would like to be 7-1 right now. Were a good football team, and if we can finish this thing the right way, we have a chance to be a great football team." Against Florida State, Boyd threw for 156 yards and two interceptions. He rebounded to go 28 for 41 for 304 yards with one interception against the Terrapins (5-3, 1-3). "He didnt make many mistakes tonight," Swinney said. "He played a really, really good football game." Especially in the fourth quarter, when Clemson turned a 19-13 advantage into a 20-point cushion. "Thats what we pride ourselves on," Boyd said. "Were a physical team, a tough team. We come back and respond from adversity. Thats what we do." The Tigers needed four field goals from Chandler Catanzaro to take a slim lead into the fourth quarter. After that, however, Marylands defence finally caved. Boyd scored on a 5-yard run and McDowell ran it in from the 3 to make it 33-13 with 7:57 remaining, and a 45-yard touchdown run by McDowell gave Clemson a 40-20 lead with 5:03 to go. It was the seventh straight road win for the Tigers, their longest streak since a nine-game run in 1978-79. "If youre going to be a great program, youve got to win consistently on the road," Swinney said. "Im just really proud of our guys for coming up here and taking care of business." Maryland played without several key injured starters, including quarterback C.J. Brown, running back Brandon Ross, wide recceivers Stefon Diggs and Deon Long, and tight end Dave Stinebaugh. Blank Seattle Sounders Jersey. Caleb Rowe went 19 for 45 for yards and three touchdowns, and Levern Jacobs had eight catches for 158 yards. But the Terrapins went 48 minutes between their first and second touchdowns and committed four turnovers. "I feel like I did OK," Rowe said. "Of course, I left plays out on the field, everyone did. But it just wasnt good enough in the end." For three quarters, Maryland did a good job of stopping Clemson in the red zone. In the fourth quarter, the Tigers converted their scoring opportunities into touchdowns. "We gave up a couple plays there late," Terrapins coach Randy Edsall said. "What we were going to have to do is just try to hold on and not let them score the touchdown late and kick field goals, but we werent able to do that in the fourth quarter." Trailing 16-7 at halftime, Maryland converted fumbles by Watkins and McDowell into field goals to close to 16-13 with four minutes elapsed in the third quarter. Swinney said that might have been the turning point. "Hats off to our defence," he said. "When you put the ball down twice inside your own 20 and they only come away with six points, our defence responded." Boyd answered with a 68-yard drive before Catanzaro connected on a 24-yarder. Despite making only three first downs in the third quarter, Maryland remained within striking distance until running back Albert Reid lost a fumble at the Maryland 31 and Clemsons Spencer Shuey took it to the 22. Four plays later, Boyd scored to make 26-13 with 13:04 left. That gave Boyd 112 touchdowns via run or pass, tied with Phillip Rivers for most in ACC history. Watkins had 10 catches for 127 yards by halftime, and Clemson ran more than twice as many offensive plays as the Terrapins in building a nine-point cushion at intermission. Down 3-0, the Terrapins got a big play from Jacobs in his first start of the year. Jacobs grabbed a short pass over the middle and sprinted into the end zone for a 71-yard touchdown. Denied after getting a first down at the Maryland 2, the Tigers settled for a field goal to make it 7-6. Then, after Jayron Kearse picked off a Rowe pass in the end zone, Clemson put together a 13-play march that ended with another field goal. The Tigers finally got their first touchdown with nine seconds left in the half. After a 30-yard completion to Watkins, Boyd threw a 5-yard scoring pass to Jordan Leggett.
