Willett will snatch the overall title with a win, while a top-four finish for Willett would also be good enough if Stenson is outside the top 30 and Alex Noren does not win.Its been a very turbulent

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/noahtrister http://www.saintsrookiestore.com/Saints-Andrus-Peat-Jersey/ .com) - Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Roger Federer were easy first-round winners Tuesday at the Australian Open. http://www.saintsrookiestore.com/Saints-Larry-Warford-Jersey/ . -- Claudio Bieler hadnt scored since early September, and not from the run of play since mid-July. http://www.saintsrookiestore.com/Saints-Ryan-Ramczyk-Jersey/ . 1 position.

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.Danny Willett described his 2016 as both amazing and turbulent as he bids to return to winning ways at the DP World Tour Championship. Willett has endured a poor run of form since his disappointing Ryder Cup debut at Hazeltine, although he can take confidence from a positive weekend performance at last weeks Nedbank Golf Challenge. Danny Willett has had a poor run since the Ryder Cup The Masters champion shot 67 and 69 over the final two days in South Africa to remain within striking distance of Race to Dubai leader Henrik Stenson heading into the season-ending event at the Jumeirah Golf Estates. The Swede has a commanding lead of almost 300,000 points over Willett, although the Sheffield star can be crowned European No 1 for the first time with a top-four finish in Dubai. The Race is on ... All the permutations ahead of the Race to Dubai finale Willett will snatch the overall title with a win, while a top-four finish for Willett would also be good enough if Stenson is outside the top 30 and Alex Noren does not win.Its been a very turbulent year and weve had the ultimate of highs and a few real lows the last few months, said Willett, who was denied the Race to Dubai title last year when Rory McIlroy won the season finale. Weve got four rounds of golf left in whats been a pretty long season. Henrik Stenson leads Willett by close to 300,000 points in the Race to Dubai Its a slightly different situation to last year, but we still need to win the golf tournament to win The Race to Dubai. Im 300,000 points behind Henrik, but if we can control this week and win, then nobody can take it way from us. Its a nice situation to be in, hoping for other people to finish outside of the top five, top 10. It could be an exciting week.Ive got a little bit more confidence after the last couple of rounds last week. It was nice to get a few nice rounds under par and get some good feelings back there, but this is a golf course that doesnt necessarily suit me as much as it does the other guys. Willett enjoyed an improved final two rounds in Sun City But if we can get it in play off the tee then it definitely suits good mid-iron play which is one of our strengths, and good putting. Im looking forward to what could be a very nice end to whats been a very up year I guess.If we can somehow topple Henrik, that would be fantastic. If we dont, so be it. I think potentially at the end of the season it may be easier to be sat here chasing someone down this week than potentially trying to hold onto a lead.

Willett failed to win a point during his torrid Ryder Cup debut Willett lost all three of his matches at Hazeltine before missing the cut at the following weeks Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, and he finished 75th and 68th respectively in China and Turkey as he was replaced at the top of the Race to Dubai by Stenson. Danny Willett explains why he decided to withdraw from the World Cup of Golf, a decision which impacted on his partner Lee Westwood. Weve had an amazing year, if you look at it as a whole, but I dont think you can expect to ever go through a full year and not have any downs in there, he added. Its just been a shame that the lows in the year I guess have come when they have.But I guess if were sat here Sunday night and youve had a great week and things have gone your way; not that Ill not be able to reflect on it as a fantastic year anyway, but youll be able to reflect on it as a slightly better year I guess. Rory McIlroy pipped Willett to the Race to Dubai crown last year At the end of the day, Id love to finish first on the Race to Dubai at least once in my life. If I were to finish second for the rest of my life, its not that youre playing bad golf, youve had a massively consistent year. To be able to finish No 1 from how good the fields are these days, I think its a very difficult task.Im fortunate to be in a position where Ive actually got the chance to do that.
