Vlade Divac Jersey .And now, after winning three in a row to take a series at Miller Park for the first time since 2013, HurdleI said before we left that we were due, Hurdle said. We havent played well here. You have to go out and play. Its very refreshing to come here and do it the way that we did it tonight on top of the other games; 3-2, 5-3 last night. Both of them were push and shove back and forth and this one was another one where we battled and came back. We have a tough team. We have a gritty team.Pittsburgh will go for the sweep Sunday when right-hander Ivan Nova takes the mound looking to build off his best start of the season.Making his fourth start for Pittsburgh since being acquired from the Yankees, Nova went the distance his last time out, allowing just a run on six hits and a walk while striking out six in a 7-1 victory over the Astros.We couldnt really get the ball on the barrel and mount any sort of rally against him, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. When he needed a ground-ball, he got it.Nova was 7-6 with a 4.90 ERA in 21 appearances (15 starts) with the Yankees this season but since joining the Pirates, hes 3-0 with a 3.20.He credits a lighter atmosphere as a big reason for his turnaround.All you do is stop and laugh sometimes, Nova said. That was something you usually didnt do in New York.Milwaukee hands the ball to right-hander Chase Anderson, whose first season with the Brewers has been a rocky one.Acquired last winter from Arizona, Anderson has gone 7-10 with a 4.99 ERA in 25 appearances (24 starts). He hasnt allowed more than three earned runs in any of his last 10 starts, but hasnt gotten past the fifth inning in all but one of those outings.He took no decision in his last start, going five innings against the Rockies while allowing three runs on six hits and a pair of walks while striking out seven.He got through it, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. (Nolan) Arenado is such a dangerous hitter. Hes pretty locked in right now. He got a first-pitch changeup on him and hit it well (for a home run). The fifth was a big inning for him to get through. He made some big pitches in the fifth to get through it.The Pirates are going for their first sweep of the Brewers since taking a three-game series last April at PNC Park. It would be their first sweep in Milwaukee since April 30-May 2, 2004. Anthony Davis Lakers Jersey .

NEW YORK -- Connecticut and Syracuse supplied plenty of great moments over the years at Madison Square Garden as members of the Big East. They had one more Monday night in a nonconference matchup.Christian Vital made two free throws with 2.2 seconds to play to give Connecticut of the American Athletic Conference a 52-50 victory over Syracuse of the Atlantic Coast Conference in the Tire Pro Classic.Andrew White III hit a 3-pointer with 9.1 seconds left to bring Syracuse into a 50-50 tie. Rodney Purvis missed a 3-point attempt for the Huskies but Vital was fouled on the rebound. Syracuses final chance was a long inbounds pass that was stolen by Connecticut.Vital, a 6-foot-2 freshman guard, said he knew Purvis was going to shoot so he just went to get position among bigger players underneath.I definitely had a lot of nerves going to the line but the timeout they called helped me out a lot, Vital said. A lot of our veteran guys talked to me during the timeout and they said `Listen, were in your city. Take us home. And I was able to do that.Purvis had 21 points and seven rebounds for the Huskies (4-4) while Jalen Adams had 16 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. Kentan Facey, who coach Kevin Ollie said has been battling a stomach virus, had a career-high 13 rebounds.This is definitely a huge win for us, Purvis said.

It was huge for us to come out with the win.White finished with 14 points for the Orange (5-3), who have lost three of four. Dajuan Coleman had 10 points and a career-high 16 rebounds for Syracuse.I think the three games that we just played, two and a half of them the offense just wasnt good enough to win, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. Defense was pretty good tonight. We did a good job on the boards. We just could not score any points.Neither team shot well and that made a lot of rebounds available as both teams finished with 42.Connecticut finished 16 of 51 from the field (31.4 percent) while the Orange shot 25.9 percent (14 for 54). Syracuse was 6 of 26 from 3-point range and the Huskies were 7 of 25.Once again it wasnt the most beautiful basketball game from an offennsive standpoint but I thought the defense was great, Ollie said. Robert Horry Jersey. Some new growth was made today.Syracuse led 23-21 at halftime. The Orange used an 11-2 run to go up 37-26 with 13:11 to play. The Huskies finally started hitting some shots and they used a 19-7 run to take a 45-44 lead with 6:19 to play. Connecticut led the rest of the way except for the 50-50 tie.What we need to think about is our offense, Boeheim said, We have to get better there.These teams had met at Madison Square Garden many times when they both were in the Big East. The greatest of all their matchups was the 2009 Big East Tournament quarterfinal that Syracuse won 127-117 in six overtimes. Syracuse leads the all-time series 55-38.We were thirsty for this opportunity and we were hungry to hit and the guys really hit and fought tonight and I was very proud of them, Ollie said.BIG PICTURESyracuse: The Orange are out of the Top 25 this week for the first time this season.
