NICEVILLE, Fla. - The Alabama womens basketball team earned an 84-63 win over McNeese State in its first game in the Patrick Harrington Classic, which is being played at Northwest Florida States Raider Arena. The victory moved the Crimson Tide to 10-1, its best start over the first 11 games since 2000.We are honored to be here. This is a great cause for a great coach and a great man, Alabama head coach Kristy Curry said of Harrington, who was the head coach at Northwest Florida State before passing away in a car accident two years ago. McNeese was very motivated and played near-perfect at times, but our kids really pulled through.Junior Meoshonti Knight led five in double figures with a season-high 20 points, while freshman Ashley Knight had a double-double of 16 points and 12 rebounds in addition to six blocks. Her six blocks ties for the third most in a single game in program history. Also in double figures was freshman Jordan Lewis with 11 and juniors Quanetria Bolton and Hannah Cook with 10 apiece. Junior Mercedes Rogers led the Cowgirls with 12 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two steals.Alabama held McNeese State scoreless over the first four minutes of the game, allowing the Tide to build a nine-point lead. Cook knocked down a long three just before the buzzer to give Alabama a 20-12 lead after one.The two teams traded baskets for the majority of the second quarter, but the Tide was able to push its lead out to double digits at the end of the frame, outscoring the Cowgirls, 6-2 over the final 1:39 to give Alabama a 39-29 edge at the break.McNeese State responded with a 6-2 run of its own to begin the third and eventually cut its deficit to four at the 5:25 mark. That was as close as the Cowgirls would get as the Tide took over down the stretch, pushing its lead back out to double digits and taking a 58-46 advantage into the final period.In the fourth, it was all Alabama as the Tide scored 26 points and led by as many as 22.Alabama shot 38.5 percent (15-39) in the first half before turning it around in the second, where the Tide hit 57.1 percent (16-28) of its attempts to finish at 46.3 percent (31-67) for the game. McNeese State finished at 36.5 percent (23-63) overall. The Tide won the battle of the boards, 48-32, and outscored the Cowgirls, 48-22, in the paint.At one point in the third quarter we just put it together and willed ourselves, added Curry. NeNe really gave us a boost off the bench. And AK (Ashley Knight). I mean what can you say? To finish with 16 points, 12 rebounds and six blocks in 23 minutes was just phenomenal. Our bench, from NeNe, to AK, to Coco (Knight), was big, big, big for us tonight. Meo was unstoppable. It was just a good all-around team effort.Alabama closes out the Patrick Harrington Classic on Tuesday when it takes on UTEP at 7 p.m. CT. Cheap Arizona Diamondbacks Jerseys .

ANDERSON, Ind. -- Andrew Luck arrived at training camp Tuesday with a healthy body, a new contract and a different perspective.The Indianapolis Colts are betting it will make him a better quarterback.Less than a month after signing their best player to a six-year, $140 million contract, Luck and his teammates showed up at Anderson University on a mission to prove last seasons 8-8 finish was an aberration.Maybe theres a little more motivation, not just because Im coming off the injury but because of not really playing as well as youd like, Luck said.For Luck, things couldnt have gone much worse last season. One of the leagues bright, young stars missed nine games with an assortment of injuries including a lacerated kidney that forced him to watch the final seven games from the sideline as Indys fading playoff hopes vanished.When Luck did play, he wasnt himself. While the backups were a solid 6-3, Luck went a dismal 2-5 as a starter and finished with the lowest completion percentage since his rookie season. His 12 interceptions had him on pace to shatter his previous career high (18) from 2012. After the season, everyone had a suggestion -- throw shorter passes, throw it away, embrace using the sideline or a baseball slide to protect himself.But part of what makes Luck good is his ability to turn nothing into something, a trait the Colts dont want to reel in. So theyve worked with Luck on making better decisions.Luck, meanwhile, spent the offseason getting healthy, re-evaluating his game and his offseason routine, and figuring out how to correct the flaws opponents exposed last season.Ive never seen him more motivated to have a great season in terms of taking care of himself and just working out, team owner Jim Irsay said last month, after announcing Lucks new deal. If you can talk about redoubling your efforts, that fire is in his eye in a special way.Others see the evolution, too.During a June mini-camp practice at Lucas Oil Stadium, fans roared when Luck slid to a stop during a non-contact drill.Coach Chuck Pagano believes Luck has regained the confidence in his right arm, which also was hurt last season, and in the new offense installed by coordinator Rob Chudzinski. Luck is playing in his third offensive system in five yyears.ddddddddddddOn Tuesday, Luck proclaimed himself 100 percent healthy -- a change from April when he said he was still working toward that goal.Teammates sense Luck is becoming a louder voice in the meeting room and the huddle.He has been more vocal, left tackle Anthony Castonzo said. In the past, hes always kind of been `OK, heres what we need you to do. Now, its more like, `This is where you need to be.Fans will get a glimpse into the new-look Luck when the Colts open practice Wednesday.Plenty has changed since Indy last took the field at Anderson University, a Division III school located about 30 miles northeast of the team complex.Offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton was fired and replaced by Chudzinski. Backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck retired. Two of Lucks college teammates, Coby Fleener and Griff Whalen, both left the Colts in free agency. Starting center Khaled Holmes was released in May and quarterbacks coach Clyde Christensen left town for a new job, too.And Luck enters this season as the highest-paid player in league history.To protect that investment, general manager Ryan Grigson used his first-round draft pick on center Ryan Kelly added spent three of his next seven selections on offensive linemen, too.He really didnt have a choice. Luck has taken more hits (375) than any other quarterback since entering the league in 2012.Grigson is hoping Kelly will stabilize the middle of the line as Luck and his new center develop the kind of bond Jeff Saturday and Peyton Manning had previously.But for Luck, this season is about a lot more than putting up better numbers. Luck wants to demonstrate how much hes grown since his last game, a 27-24 victory over eventual Super Bowl champion Denver on Nov 8.His first chance comes in the preseason on Aug. 7 against Green Bay in the annual Hall of Fame game.Ive always had high expectations and probably higher than others, Luck said. Im the first to say that I do not pay attention to outsiders as far as expectations. Internally, the expectations have been the same since Ive been here.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
