White later hit a layup and drained the free throw for a 63-43 game with 4:05 to play and the Demon Deacons had no answer from there.

 

FSU was up 29-23 at the break.

 

Stillwater, OK (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Le'Bryan Nash kept rising up and firing from beyond the arc, and as each shot went down, the anticipation of an upset grew larger at Gallagher-Iba Arena. Nash hit three treys and scored 14 points during a late, game-changing 17-4 run as Oklahoma State shocked No. 2 Missouri, 79-72.

 

The freshman swingman Nash finished with a career-high 27 points while Brian Williams added 22 points for the Cowboys (10-10, 3-4 Big 12), who had lost three in a row coming in.

 

Iasia Hemingway paced the Orange (13-8, 2-5) with 15 points to go with six rebounds and five assists, while Carmen Tyson-Thomas chipped in with 11 points and five rebounds. Syracuse has lost three of its last four games.

 

Tyson-Thomas drained a three-pointer to finally stop the run and make it 65-43, but the Huskies came back with another run, this one of the 10-2 variety to give UConn a 75-45 lead with 10 minutes to play.

 

Syracuse never threatened the rest of the way and the Huskies finished the second half outscoring the Orange 55-21 to roll to the easy victory.

 

UConn responded with a 9-0 run, capped by a Hayes layup, to take a 20-18 lead with under 12 minutes to play in the first half.

 

A layup by Hayes gave the Huskies their largest lead of the half at 40-28, and they led 40-33 at the break.

 

Rayvonte Rice led the Bulldogs (12-9, 5-5) with 23 points and 11 rebounds and Ben Simons contributed 18 points. Kurt Alexander donated 16 points for Drake, which has lost two consecutive games.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
