EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Alex Murphy made a 3-pointer from the corner, and a handful of fans behind the Northeastern bench could sense an upset was near.Lets go Huskies! they began chanting, while the rest of the Breslin Center stayed mostly quiet.I think it was the hockey team, Murphy said.Murphy scored 18 points, and the Huskies capped a big day for Northeastern athletics with an 81-73 upset at Michigan State on Sunday night. The game was part of a tripleheader in East Lansing between the schools. Michigan State won the womens basketball game 78-44, and Northeastern beat the Spartans 6-2 in mens hockey.It was the second head-turning upset of the season for the Huskies in mens basketball. They won at Connecticut last month. In between that game and this one, Northeastern (6-5) lost to the likes of LIU Brooklyn, Cornell and Stony Brook.I tell my guys each and every year that we want to compete against the very best that the country has to offer, to make sure that we can measure ourselves and get better, Northeastern coach Bill Coen said. We want to compete against national championship-caliber programs, and thats what Michigan State is and always has been.Cassius Winston had 21 points and 10 assists for the Spartans (7-5), who trailed 36-32 at halftime and could never take control.Michigan State went on a 17-4 run in the second half and led 51-45 before T.J. Williams made a 3-pointer, snapping a string of nine straight missed field goals by Northeastern. The Huskies took the lead back before too long, and with the score 64-61, the 6-foot-8 Murphy made a layup followed by his big 3-pointer from in front of the Northeastern bench, making it an eight-point game with 2:47 remaining.That was when the Northeastern fans started chanting.BIG PICTURENortheastern: The Huskies are certainly a hard team to figure out. Theyve now beaten a couple big-name programs -- although UConn and Michigan State arent exactly at their best right now. Northeastern showed impressive resolve, recovering nicely from a rough stretch in the second half and eventually closing the game out comfortably.Michigan State: The Spartans were without freshman standout Miles Bridges, who missed his fourth straight game with a left ankle injury. Michigan State let this game get away from the 3-point line, where Northeastern went 11 of 23 and the Spartans were only 5 of 16. Michigan State was held to single-digit margins in home wins this month against Oral Roberts and Tennessee Tech, and this time the Spartans were victimized by an upset.PLAYING TIMEMichigan States Eron Harris played only 23 minutes. Coach Tom Izzo was blunt when asked repeatedly about Harris playing time in the postgame news conference.Why are you concerned about Harris? (He was) sitting next to me because he didnt play very good -- period. So I dont know what the deal is, Izzo said. I dont mean to jump you about it, but you want to know why he didnt? He didnt guard, he didnt play very hard, he didnt play very smart, he took a couple bad shots, and he wasnt playing the way he has to play.CLEAVES ON HANDFormer Michigan State star Mateen Cleaves was at the game, less than two weeks after a judge dismissed sex charges against him. Cleaves was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in 2015, but charges were dismissed Dec. 5.In the Michigan State locker room after the game, Cleaves would not comment on the case.UP NEXTNortheastern: The Huskies have another game in Michigan coming up Tuesday night when they play at Oakland.Michigan State: The Spartans next game is also against Oakland, on Wednesday night in East Lansing. Thats Michigan States last game before starting Big Ten play.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtristerYeezy 350 V2 Zebra Pas Cher .

Fausse Yeezy Pas Cher .Y. -- Injured Buffalo Sabres forward Marcus Foligno did not practice with the team Monday and head coach Ron Rolston said its unlikely hell play in Wednesdays season opener in Detroit.The Hurricanes are confident they can cover the loss of two first-choice tight forwards for the remainder of the Super Rugby season.Lock Blade Thomson faces shoulder reconstruction surgery this week while prop Jeff Toomaga-Allen is out for three months after breaking his forearm during the 37-27 win over the Blues.One-Test forward Toomaga-Allen will be hard to replace, beginning with Saturdays crucial match against the Waratahs in Sydney.The tighthead prop has started all 13 games this year and his absence will probably force regular substitute Chris Eves to hold up the scrum over the remaining two rounds and, if they make it, into the play-offs.Victory over the Waratahs will be enough to confirm the Hurricanes involvement post-season.Halfback TJ Perenara believes his team can cope with their biggest medical setback of a relatively smooth season since losing the services of All Blacks winger Nehe Milner-Skudder (shoulder).Injuries come to every team and its how you deal with it, he saiid.dddddddddddd.Im confident in the boys that get brought in and the job that they can do for us.New Zealand under-20 lock Isaia Walker-Leawere joins the squad while a replacement for Toomaga-Allen is yet to be confirmed.Dynamic lock Vaea Fifita made a fine fist of replacing Thomson against the Blues, scoring two second-half tries to ensure the home side remain third in the tightly-fought New Zealand conference.Boyd believes the 24-year-old is a force for the future if he irons out some kinks.He didnt have the greatest defensive game but Vaeas a spooky athlete, Boyd said.You could probably play him on the wing. Theres a lot more upside to see from him.Boyd says his team were beaten up after being forced to attempt 176 tackles against the physical Blues.He was disappointed 36 of them were missed but says their defensive quality improved as the match wore on.
