ST. LOUIS — Durrell Summers scored 19 points and Korie Lucious hit a whirling turnaround jumper with 95 seconds left, helping fifth-seeded Michigan State survive a mid-major scare with a 59-52 win over pesky Northern Iowa in the Midwest Regional semifinals Friday night. Michigan State (27-8) needed a half to get used to Northern Iowa's grinding style and held the Panthers to 10 free throws over the final 10:22 to send the heroes of the Heartland home empty-handed. Northern Iowa (30-5) knocked off one March monster but couldn't make it two straight, unable to contain the athletic Spartans for an entire game after stunning top-seeded Kansas in the second round. Lucious hit his acrobatic shot, then Michigan State held and Chris Allen scored on a putback with 31 seconds left to put the Spartans up 57-51 and into Sunday's regional final against Tennessee.

Rockies are playing with fire with high walk rate
Denver Post, Tuesday - 05/14/2024 - 10:02 PM
SAN DIEGO — Walks haunt, and late-game walks haunt absolutely. Usually. The Rockies’ 5-4 win over the Padres on Monday night at Petco Park was the exception. They pulled off the victory despite issuing 11 walks, only the third win in franchise history when they walked 11 or more. It also happened on May 12, 1995, at Florida and on June 5, 1999, vs.

Keeler: Can Avalanche trust Valeri Nichushkin again? “Only he can answer that”
Denver Post, Tuesday - 05/14/2024 - 09:56 PM
How do you forgive a brother who won’t stop breaking your heart? “Can they trust him?” ESPN analyst and former NHL goalie Kevin Weekes replied when I asked about Valeri Nichushkin, the Avalanche’s prodigal son. “Only he can answer that. Hopefully, they can.” Hopefully. The Avs are in trouble deep without him, limping into Game 5 of their best-of-seven playoff series with the Dallas Stars on Wednesday on a three-game losing skid while staring at a 3-1 hole. Nichushkin, Colorado’s mercurial winger, was suspended by the NHL for six months for violating Stage 2 of the Player Assistance Program before Game 4 at Ball Arena.

Nuggets playoff rotation: Why Justin Holiday is playing more, and Peyton Watson is playing less in Timberwolves series
Denver Post, Tuesday - 05/14/2024 - 02:52 PM
It’s the Holiday season in Denver. The Nuggets’ second-round playoff series has been characterized by a wrinkle in Michael Malone’s rotation: increased bench minutes for 35-year-old Justin Holiday, who was in and out of the lineup throughout the season. Holiday, who signed a one-year deal with Denver at the veteran minimum last July, was a DNPCD (did not play; coach’s decision) 24 times during the regular season.
