MINNEAPOLIS -- Akeem Springs came off the bench to score 19 points and Nate Mason added 18 for Minnesota, which came from behind in the second half and escaped with a 74-68 victory against NJIT on Tuesday night. http:///...te-canadiens-jersey/ .Springs and Mason each hit four 3-pointers as Minnesota was 9 of 21 from beyond the arc. Freshman Amir Coffey added 13 points and eight rebounds for the Gophers (8-1), who have equaled their win total from last season.A back-and-forth affair saw 13 lead changes, but NJIT never led by more than three points before Minnesota used a 7-0 run to take a 65-61 lead.This is a scary time of year in the sense of, you know, you get a lot of home games, obviously the names are not as big as some of the other big ones, so youve got to get your guys to understand you can lose to anybody, Gophers coach Richard Pitino said. You see it every single night, and you try to tell your guys over and over again, and sometimes just feeling it is a nice wake up call.Rob Ukawuba led the Highlanders (5-5) with 18 points. NJIT committed just seven turnovers but shot 34.2 percent from the field and was 8 of 32 from 3.Were a program thats on the rise and were past moral victories, to be honest with you, Highlanders coach Brian Kennedy said. This is a game that hurts a lot to lose because we felt if we played the way we know were capable of playing, it was going to be a good game.BIG PICTURENJIT: The Highlanders continued to show they can hang with the Big Ten. Two years ago on the same day, NJIT went on the road and beat No. 17 Michigan. Earlier this season, the Highlanders went to Purdue and had the game within single digits in the final minutes before losing 79-68. NJIT averaged 61.1 per game and forced 16.44 turnovers per game heading into Tuesday. Against Minnesota, the Highlanders shot 73 times and forced 14 turnovers.Minnesota: Pitino tried to beef up the nonconference portion of the schedule. After posting wins against St. Johns, Arkansas and on the road at Vanderbilt, the Gophers stumbled against the Highlanders, who entered the game 267th in the nation in the Ratings Percentage Index.KEY MATCHUPNJIT guard Damon Lynn entered the game as the active scoring leader in Division with 1,927 points. He had scored at least 20 in six of the teams first nine games.Mason took the brunt of the defensive responsibility and helped hold Lynn to 12 points on 5-of-24 shooting.Never really let him get an open look the whole night, Kennedy said of Mason. Damons had a great, great career for us. I wouldnt trade that kid for anybody in the country. He just had an off night shooting tonight.HE SAID ITI think tomorrows really going to help the team; seeing how we respond, seeing if were hungry, Springs said. We got hit in the mouth and its good for us. I think tomorrow is whats really going to see if we respond the way we should respond. If we come in hungry, and like coach says, if we work.UP NEXTNJIT: A road-heavy month continues for the Highlanders, who play at Kent State on Dec. 10. NJIT has just one home game in the month of December.Minnesota: Tuesdays game was the start of five straight nonconference games at home before the Gophers open the Big Ten at home against Michigan State. Minnesota hosts Georgia Southern on Dec. 9. http:///...ya-canadiens-jersey/ . Booth picked up 65 caps after making her national team debut in 2002 at the age of 17.

Hart, who was on probation for a burglary conviction at the time of the shooting, was charged with murder in the mans death. He has said he fired in self-defense.Hart isnt entitled to immunity because as a convicted felon he was prohibited from carrying weapons, and it doesnt appear that he acted in self-defense, Hughes said in the order.Prosecutors say evidence shows Hart of Camp Hill and his cousin Tyrone Rowe were at a party in Auburn when they saw Mitchell. Rowe testified earlier this month that Mitchell was angry Rowe liked a photo of Mitchells girlfriend on Instagram.Hart said Rowe and Mitchell argued and that Mitchell opened fire.http:///...er-canadiens-jersey/. Hart said he returned fire using a handgun that another partygoer handed to him as he left the party. Hart has said Mitchell fired first, but the slain mans girlfriend, Ayanna Hughley, said that Hart fired the first shot.Judge Hughes wrote in the order that even if Hart was carrying the weapon legally and wasnt required to back away from the situation, he hasnt met the burden of proof to establish immunity based on a review of the evidence.Were disappointed with the ruling, Harts attorney Jerry Blevins said Tuesday. Blevins said he expects to decide by Thursday whether to ask a higher court to review the decision.The shooting happened at the same apartment complex where former football players Ed Christian and Ladarious Phillips and a third man, DeMario Pitts, were shot to death during an argument at a late-night gathering in June 2012.
