TCU ruinsBaylor’shopes forplayoff spotASSOCIATED PRESS

LINCOLN, Neb. — Iowa cer-tainly didn’t change the minds ofcritics who claim the Hawkeyesdon’t look the part of a nationalchampionship contender.

They didn’t do a whole lot onoffense against Nebraska, theirdefense gave up a lot of yardsagain, and they muffed a punt.

But when the clock struck 0:00on Friday, the Hawkeyes werecelebrating a 28-20 victory thatfinished their first perfect regu-lar season in 93 years.

“We’re not trying to be pretty,we’re trying to be productive,”coach Kirk Ferentz said. “Foot-ball is not gymnastics. There arestyle points in gymnastics. Here,it’s having one point more thanyour opponent.

“We’re 12-0. You can’t do bet-ter than that.”

The Hawkeyes (8-0 in the BigTen) locked arms and ran to thesouth end zone to pick up theHeroes Trophy that goes to thewinner of this game. Then it wasoff to the corner to salute theirfans before heading to the lockerroom.

There’s still work to be done tomake this season even better.Next stop: the Big Ten cham-pionship game in Indianapolis,where they will play for theirfirst conference title since 2004.Win there, and a spot in theCollege Football Playoff is a

possibility. Maybe even a cer-tainty.

Jordan Canzeri ran for 140yards on 17 carries and brokelong touchdown runs on back-to-back series in the third quar-ter on a raw afternoon when agusty north wind made for a12-degree wind chill.

The Hawkeyes generated only250 total yards and were limitedto 44 plays from scrimmage

because they went 0 for 9 onthird downs. But Nebraska’sTommy Armstrong Jr. threw fourinterceptions, with Parker Hessereturning one 4 yards for atouchdown, and the Cornhusk-ers (5-7, 3-5) committed eightpenalties, including four per-sonal fouls.

The Huskers, who started 3-6under first-year coach MikeRiley, had their third losing

season since 2004 and lost fourtimes at home for the first timesince 1961.

The Hawkeyes, who clinchedthe Big Ten West Division titlelast week, went undefeated inthe regular season for the fifthtime in program history and firstsince going 7-0 in 1922. With atleast one more game to play,Iowa has made a five-victoryimprovement over 2014.

TheHuskies finished in a four-waytie for the West Division titlewith Western Michigan, Toledoand Central Michigan, butadvanced by way of conferencetiebreakers.

Northern Illinois, whichseemed to have blown itschance by losing at home onTuesday to Ohio, will faceBowling Green on Friday atFord Field in Detroit.

The Rockets (9-2, 6-2) wouldhave earned the West Division’s

bid to the league title gamewith a victory. Instead, theBroncos (7-5, 6-2) finally de-feated a top-25 opponent.

“I’m so proud of them,”third-year coach P.J. Fleck said.“Words can’t describe it. A year

and 10 weeks ago, we were theworst team in college football.Now, we’re MAC West champs.”

The Rockets, hoping to winthe division title outright, wereundone by crucial penaltiesand one big turnover.

The game turned when Tole-do’s Alonzo Russell fumbled apunt to set up Davis’ secondtouchdown, a 30-yard catchfrom Zach Terrell with 1:07 leftin the first half that gave theBroncos a 25-21 lead.

The Broncos would not relin-quish the advantage, pushingtheir lead to two scores on afourth-and-goal run from the 1yard by Jamauri Bogan on thefirst drive of the second half.

Rhodes Jump, a senior, saideverything starts with Peters,a 6-foot-7 hulk with a vise-like grip for a handshake anda booming voice.

“Coach is amazing, espe-cially during the games,”Jump said. “He’s defending uswhen things go bad. He looksout for us. Coach will get usprepared mentally and phys-ically to play every singleweek. Half of what we’ve doneis because of him.”

Peters, who grew up inHilliard and played offensivetackle for Bowling Green, hasturned what had been a so-soprogram into a budding pow-er in eight seasons, with threeplayoff appearances since2011.

Grandview won one playoffgame, in 2005, and had oneother playoff appearancebefore Peters’ arrival.

No question, Peters said,he’ll fight for his kids.

“Because those guys arelike my kids,” he said. “I won’tlet someone smack one of mykids. I will protect them. AndI know they have my back,too. It’s a mutual trust thatwe’ve developed here. When Igo for a fourth down and wedon’t get it, our defense willsave my butt.”

The Bobcats have beenkicking rear ends. Theyearned the program’s secondplayoff victory last season.This season, they haveknocked out Hannibal River,Lucasville Valley and Freder-icktown.

Kirtland had a similar his-tory until coach Tiger LaVerdewas hired. As recently as 2005,the Hornets were 4-6 and hadmade the playoffs just twice,in 1990 and ’99.

Under LaVerde, Kirtlandwon championships in 2011and ’13 and was runner-up in’12 and ’14. There have beenonly three losses in the pastfive seasons.

“Kirtland is going to roll inwith their 80 players,” Peterssaid. “We’ll have our 33. Butour middle-school programhas had a lot of success thelast three or four years. Win-ning is a habit. You makeyourself win games.”

Quarterback Andre Readey,a senior, said Grandview be-came seasoned out of neces-sity.

“A lot of the present seniorsstarted when they were soph-omores, and on both sides ofthe ball,” he said. “We were4-6 as sophomores and gotbeat up. But that made usbetter.”

The community has re-sponded to the point wherethe players feel special.

“This is crazy how our com-munity has come together forus,” Readey said. “Last yearfor the Bexley game, the fansformed a tunnel for us towalk out on to the field.”

This is a homegrown teamin that players don’t transfersfrom other schools to play.

Many of them played in theGrandview Youth FootballAssociation from thirdthrough fifth grades. Theyhave brought back one oftheir old sayings.

“Bring the HEAT,” seniorlinebacker, receiver andplace-kicker Benton Bair said.“The letters stand for heart,effort, attitude and tough-ness.”

Bair said the playoff win in2014 over Woodsfield MonroeCentral was important goinginto this season.

“That was our first homeplayoff win ever, and thatbrought a lot confidence,” hesaid. “That was a good feel-ing.”

This season, the Bobcatsdefeated rival Bexley 21-10 inthe regular-season finale. In2014, they lost to the Lions42-16.

The momentum continuedin the playoffs with the victo-ry over Valley. Last season,Grandview lost to Valley 27-21in the second round.

ORRVILLE, Ohio — Danvillebeat its opponents so convinc-ingly this season, it never hadto play from behind.

Stuck playing catch-up formost of the game on Fridaynight, the Blue Devils couldn’tget enough chances against theultimate ball-hogging team andlost to Mogadore 35-21 in aDivision VII state semifinal atRed Riders Stadium.

Mogadore spread the ballamong four backs, dominatedthe line of scrimmage afterhalftime and teed off frequentlyon Danville all-Ohio quarter-back Ridge Durbin.

“We didn’t have too manyplays because they chewed upa lot of the clock,” Danvillecoach Ed Honabarger said.“They just pounded the balland kept pounding it once theygot the lead, and there wasn’t awhole lot we could do about it.There’s a reason they’ve been tothe final four so many times.”

Mogadore (13-1), which fin-ished No. 2 in the AssociatedPress poll just behind Danville(13-1), will face Fort Recovery(12-2) in the state final nextweek at Ohio Stadium. The dayand time are to be determined.

The Wildcats, 17-time region-al champions, overcame turn-overs on their first series whenthey fell behind 14-7.

“Ultimately, their mistakesdidn’t hurt them and our mis-takes did hurt us,” Honabargersaid. It was the third time Dan-ville had reached a state semi-final, only to lose.

Mogadore opened the doorfor Danville’s first score withsuccessive turnovers. ZeddiePollock was intercepted bySkyler Durbin on the secondplay of the game. On the Wild-cats’ second series, Luke Cram-er fumbled at the Mogadore29-yard line, and the Blue Dev-ils recovered.

Danville took advantage ofthe second opportunity.Sparked by a 20-yard pass fromRidge Durbin to Kenton Mick-ley, the two hooked up again ona 5-yard touchdown play.

Mogadore responded with an11-play, 72-yard scoring drive.Pollock hit Andrew Barker on a12-yard touchdown pass. On itsnext possession, Mogadoremounted another time-con-suming drive, going 66 yards in11 plays, with Austin Williamsplowing in from 1 yard to makeit 14-7.

Trailing for the first time allseason, Danville responded

with a 74-yard scoring drive,and Durbin hit Brandon Holton a 16-yard pass to tie thescore. Just before halftime,Mogadore — now controllingthe line of scrimmage — drovethe field impressively again.Pollock scrambled out of thepocket untouched to the endzone from 35 yards to give theWildcats a 21-14 halftime lead.

Mogadore opened the sec-ond half with a 12-play, 65-yarddrive, all on runs, for a 28-14lead. Josh Tompkins scoredfrom 4 yards. Later, Durbin wasintercepted by Tompkins. Thatled to the Wildcats’ final score,a 1-yard plunge by Williams.The Blue Devils got anotherscore, a 6-yard touchdown runby Durbin with 1:49 left. Moga-dore recovered the onside kickand ran out the clock.

DIVISION IVMiddletown Fenwick (13-0) vs. Hartley (10-3), at Wilmington

Hartley coach Brad Burchfield hasan image of how this matchup willdevelop.

“It’s one of those GCL-CCL battles,”he said, referring to the Greater Cathol-ic and Central Catholic leagues. “Wecall them double chinstrap games. Theteam that picks up the tough 1- and2-yard gains for first downs probablywill wind up on top. Ultimately, it’sgoing to be their strength going toe totoe against our strength to see whogoes to the state championship game.It doesn’t get much better than that.”

Top-ranked Fenwick leans on a stoutdefense allowing just 6.8 points pergame. In a 10-3 overtime win overClarksville Clinton-Massie in a regionalfinal, the Falcons stymied an opponentaveraging 48.6 points per game. Fen-wick handed Kettering Alter its only twolosses, allowing the Knights a total ofnine points. Only one opponent, rivalHamilton Badin, has topped doublefigures against the Falcons.

Hartley’s offense comes in scoring

35.1 points against top-notch competi-tion. The Hawks have rushed for 4,639yards (7.6 yards-per-carry average),with 220-pound back Quri Hickman(1,963 yards, 28 touchdowns) leadingthe way behind a stellar line. Fenwick isallowing 69.3 yards rushing per game.

“Nobody has penetrated that de-fense all year,” Burchfield said. “They’rebig, strong, fast and physical. Iwouldn’t say that one player stands out.They’ve just got a whole bunch of kidswho get after you.”

Linebacker Ben Hinton was South-west District defensive player of theyear, and linebacker Sammy DeBiasialso made first team.

Like Hartley, Fenwick is run-oriented.The Falcons have rushed for more than3,500 yards, with fullback MichaelSheridan and quarterback NathanJeffers each topping 1,000. Sheridan,however, was tested for a possibleconcussion last week, and his availabil-ity is unknown.

This will mark Hartley’s fifth statesemifinal appearance in six years.Fenwick, although boasting a longtradition, has qualified for the playoffsjust twice since 2005. It last made thefinal four in 1987.

“It’s a dream season type of thing forthem,” Burchfield said. “They play witha lot of confidence and have thatswagger about them. They’re the realdeal. Let’s face it: Going into the play-

offs, anyone would have forecastedthem to be in the final four and a lot offolks would have had us here. It shouldbe a great game.”

DIVISION VIKirtland (12-1) vs. Grandview (12-1),at Mansfield Madison

Of all the teams in the state semi-finals this weekend, Grandview isamong the least familiar. The Bobcatshad never won more than one postsea-son game until this year, and despitetheir banner season, they nevercracked the top 10 in the AssociatedPress poll.

Meanwhile, Kirkland and its coachare household names to high-schoolfootball fans around Ohio. The Hornets,led by 10th-year coach Tiger LaVerde(117-14), are making their fifth straightfinal-four appearance, and this willmark their 24th playoff game in thatstretch. Kirtland is 25-8 in the playoffs.

“We just tell the kids, yeah, they’vebeen here, but our job is just to go outand play football like we do every weekand go 1 and 0,” Grandview coachJason Peters said. “It may sound corny,but we’ve been a one-play-at-a-time,one-game-at-a-time team all year.That’s just the way we are.

“The parents wanted to do a bunchof stuff for us this week, but we toldthem: Thanks, but we’re just not intothat kind of thing. We just want to go

about business as usual. Plus, wehaven’t got anything to celebrate yet.”

Grandview and Kirtland have a fewthings in common. Both like to run theball and have a presence on defense.

The Bobcats have 4,423 yardsrushing with a hefty 7.2-yard average.Fullback Rhodes Jump (1,421 yards, 19TDs), quarterback Andre Readey(1,328 yards, 15 TDs) and HudsonJump (632 yards, nine TDs) are themain ball-handlers.

Kirtland’s running game is led bybacks Joey Bates (1,627 yards, 25TDs) and David Allchin (1,000 yards).The defense, which is allowing just 9.5points per game, is anchored by line-backer Evan Madden (135 tackles), theNortheast Lakes District player of theyear.

“They have a very sound, stingydefense,” Peters said. “On offense,they ground and pound even more thanwe do. They’re going to try to hold on tothe ball for long periods of time, andwe’ve been doing that as well. A big keyis going to be which defense is moreopportunistic.

“We’ve really come around defen-sively the past five or six weeks. We hadsome young kids over there and someinjuries as well, but we’ve formed anidentity.”

High-school basketball

New Albanyrallies to winin two OTs

It was strange to seeBryan Patton take a seatnear the end of the Dub-lin Coffman bench beforetip-off against UpperArlington and act like aspectator.

About 12 feet to his left,father Randy Patton wasshouting instructions tothe players and workingthe officials.

“It definitely was weirdat first not hearing (Bryan)coaching us,” senior for-ward Christine Szabo said.“He did give us littlepointers, but RP is thecoach.”

Freshman guard JacySheldon scored 20 points,Lilly Edwards added 12and Coffman made 14 of15 free throws in thefourth quarter in a 60-48victory over Upper Arling-ton on Friday night on theGolden Bears’ Jim Hamil-ton Court.

It was the Shamrocks’first victory after an open-ing loss to Newark, but itwas not Randy Patton’sfirst win as a head coach.

Randy is running theteam because his son tooka one-year leave of ab-sence to help his wife,Erin, care for daughterClaire, who was born onOct. 29. The couple alsohas 6-year-old Madelynand 2-year-old Charlotteat home.

Dad was Bryan’s topassistant the previous sixseasons. They made it tothe Division I state tour-nament in 2014.

“I have been with Bryanevery day talking aboutthe team,” Randy Pattonsaid. “This is my 30thseason as a high-schoolcoach. I looked at Bryanand said, ‘Son, I’m OK.This is not my first rodeo.’

“I’m excited about this.I just tell the kids that I’mlike their grandfather. I’vecoached these girls allsummer and all fall.”

There are 20 gamesremaining, but RandyPatton was ecstatic abouta victory over a Bearsteam that is expected tocontend for the OhioCapital Conference Cen-tral Division title, alongwith Coffman and Ole-ntangy Liberty.

Kortney Eisenman, a6-foot-3 center who hassigned with Georgia, ledUA with 17 points,10 rebounds and twoblocked shots. Freshmanguard Macy Spielmanscored 17 points.

“We were ready,” RandyPatton said. “Our plan wasto attack the rim andmove side to side with thebasketball. I knew we hadmore depth and that ourpressure would wear themdown. This is a real goodwin — top of the line.”

Sheldon moved in fromthe Cleveland area afterher father, Duane, washired as Coffman’s athlet-ic director. He was a long-

time men’s basketballcoach at Baldwin-Wallace.

What did she thinkabout the coachingswitch?

“The (Pattons) havebeen awesome — amaz-ing — and I felt so wel-come by everyone on theteam,” Sheldon said.“This was a big win. Wehad a great week of prac-tice. And, oh yes, we suredid say this was a big

game.”Bryan Patton scouts,

breaks down video andhelps with the game plan,but he misses the dailyhands-on interaction.

“This has been an ad-justment, and gamenights are tough,” he said.“This was not an easydecision. I love basketball.I’ve been in it since I wasin fifth grade. But we wereso blessed with our thirdchild. We want to wel-come her to our family theright way.”

Patton’s wife works fulltime in commercial real-estate sales. Bryan teachesadvanced-placementgovernment and politicsat Coffman.

“What’s great is seeingthe team in great handswith my dad, my bestfriend (Matt Mitchell) andmy cousin (Eric Hooge-veen),” Bryan said. “Icouldn’t fully commit tobasketball, and I certainlywanted to commit fully tobeing the father I want tobe and should be.”

! THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH SPORTS DISPATCH.COM D7

There are no secrets,not anymore.

Only the 90 minutes-plus of the second leg ofan Eastern Conferencefinals separates Crew SCand the New York RedBulls from playing for thegreatest grail in Americanpro soccer, the MLS Cup.

Come first kick on Sun-day, everyone will knowwhat is coming. The RedBulls, trailing 2-0 in theaggregate-score series,need at least three goalsto advance outright. Be-cause of the away-goalstiebreaker, they will needfour goals if the Crewscores.

It is the second of thosescenarios that Crew coachGregg Berhalter said hewould like to see. Berhal-ter usually keeps his plansclose to the vest. Not thisweek.

“I think our objective issimple, and I don’t thinkit’s a difficult objective,”he said after a practicethis week. “It’s a proactiveobjective: We want toscore a goal. It’s as simpleas that. And if you say you

want to score a goal, youcan’t sit back. It’s counter-intuitive.

“We want to score agoal, and we want to put

ourselves in position toadvance. I don’t believewe can do it by beingpassive.”

Bunker? Not this game,

nor any game. There issecurity in attacking,danger in defending.

“We think that if we canget that goal, we’ll begood,” Crew captain anddefender Michael Park-hurst said. “So we’re notgoing to come defensive.That’s not our style, todefend for 90 minutes. It’snot what we’re good at. …

“We’re going to keeppassing the ball and pos-sess where we can, butwe’d like to do it on theirhalf of the field. The long-er the game goes wherethey’re losing, things willopen up — and hopefullywe can catch them on acounter and get a goal.”

It is part of a cat-and-mouse game between the

two highest-scoringteams in Major LeagueSoccer playing for the fifthtime in eight months.

“There are a lot of mindgames,” said Crew for-ward and MLS MVP final-ist Kei Kamara, who hasscored three times in thepast two games. “Theyknow us well, we knowthem well. It’s a reallygood chess match.”

New York scored fourgoals in two of their 34regular-season games,though it won each leg ofa conference semifinalagainst D.C. United 1-0.

Its three regular-seasongames against the Crewwere decided by 2-1 finals,with the Red Bulls win-ning twice.

Despite shutting outNew York last Sunday inthe first leg at MapfreStadium, the Crew playedboth hunter and hunted,weathering multiple andsometimes continuousnervy moments aroundits goal in both halves.

The Red Bulls had morepossession time in thefirst game — a rarity for aCrew opponent, especial-ly at home.

“I wouldn’t say we were

extremely happy with theback and forth of thegame,” midfielder WilTrapp said. “But at thesame time, we took whatthey were giving us. Wereally pounced upon whatis their strength and usedit against them. I think wedid a good job of breakingtheir (high) pressure andcreating counterattacks.

“That’s not typical of us,but what they give, youtake. That’s just smartsoccer.”

Smart, too, would beabandoning “the sim-plest, most beautifulgame in America,” asKamara called Berhalter’sstyle, if circumstanceswarrant. Berhalter doesn’tbelieve in winning ugly, amessage he has tried tohammer home to hisplayers. But a miffedcoach, coupled with ad-vancement, is a compro-mise Kamara is willing tomake.

“I’ve actually battledagainst him a few timessaying that,” Kamara said.“Sometimes you’ve justgot to find the dirtiest wayto win games.”smitchell@dispatch.com

NBA UPDATE

Cavaliers 95, Hornets 90:LeBron James can’t ex-plain why he plays so wellagainst Charlotte, but hesure has a knack for pick-ing up his game.

James had 25 pointsand 13 rebounds, extend-ing his personal run ofdominance versus hostCharlotte by leadingCleveland to victory onFriday night.

James’ teams have won23 straight games againstfranchises based in Char-lotte — both the Hornetsand Bobcats. He played inall but two of those.

The four-time MVP saidhe was just happy theCavs could get back to.500 on the road, improv-ing to 4-4 this season.

James spoke to histeammates after Cleve-land’s loss in Toronto onWednesday, though herefused to call it a teammeeting.

“I said what I had tosay, the guys respondedand we got a win,” Jamessaid.

Charlotte’s KembaWalker, who has beenaround for most of thelosses to James, called itfrustrating not to be ableto beat him. The last timeJames lost to a Charlotteteam was Feb. 19, 2010,during his first stint withthe Cavaliers.

“Down the stretch hemakes the plays to winbasketball games. That’swhat makes him a greatplayer,” Walker said.

Kevin Love had a dou-ble-double at halftime forthe Cavs and finishedwith 18 points and 16rebounds despite sittingout the fourth quarter.

Cleveland coach DavidBlatt went with a smallerlineup that includedMatthew Dellavedova,Tristan Thompson, Ri-chard Jefferson, J.R. Smithand James.

“We felt we had a cer-tain lineup that wasworking,” Blatt said. “Itwasn’t a plan going intothe fourth quarter, hon-estly. It was just workingwell for us.”

Walker had 18 pointsand Nicolas Batum added17 points and eight re-bounds to lead Charlotte.

The Hornets led mostof the way and took a76-72 advantage into thefourth quarter.

But the Cavaliers ralliedto take an 87-86 lead witha little more than sixminutes left behind athree-pointer and a driv-

ing layup by Dellavedova.Smith extended the leadto four on a three-pointerfrom the right wing.

The Hornets cut thelead to two on JeremyLamb’s jumper and had achance to take the leadwith 20 seconds left, butBatum missed a contest-ed three-pointer from thetop of the key.

Smith was fouled in-tentionally and addedtwo free throws with 12.9seconds remaining tomake it a two-possessiongame. Batum missedanother three-pointerwith 9.2 seconds left, andthe Cavs put the gameaway.

FRIDAY’S HIGHLIGHTSWarriors 135, Suns 116:Stephen Curry scored 41points in three quarters,Draymond Green had atriple-double and GoldenState beat host Phoenix toextend its NBA-recordstart to 18-0.

The Warriors set a fran-chise mark for three-pointers with 22, one shyof the league record.

Curry made a season-high 9 of his 16 three-pointers in his 14th career40-point game, five ofthem this season. Greenhad 14 points, 10 re-bounds and 10 assists.

The Warriors, in theirhighest-scoring game of

the season, set anotherNBA mark by making 15three-pointers (on 20attempts) in the first half.

Rockets 116, 76ers 114:James Harden had 50points, nine reboundsand eight assists, andhost Houston beat win-less Philadelphia.

Harden was 14 of 28from the field and 16 of 20at the line in his thirdcareer game with 50 ormore points. He is averag-ing 36.2 points in his pastfive games.

Philadelphia is one lossfrom matching the NewJersey Nets’ NBA-worstmark of 18 losses to opena season. The Sixers havedropped 27 in a row dat-ing to last season for thelongest losing streak inmajor U.S. professionalsports history, passing theNFL’s Tampa Bay Bucca-neers from 1976 to ‘77.

Penguins center Sidney Crosby had his first two-goal game of theseason and tied a career high with nine shots on Wednesday ina 4-3 overtime victory at St. Louis. Crosby had never scoredagainst the Blues and has now scored against every NHL team.

BIG NIGHT FOR SID

GAME DAY SCORECARD

If it wasn’t clear thatcoach John Tortorella hadseen enough of his teamtaking questionable penal-ties on Wednesday, itcertainly was on Fridaynight.

Tortorella made ahealthy scratch of defense-man Dalton Prout againstthe Pittsburgh Penguins atNationwide Arena, choos-ing to give Justin Falk hisfirst NHL minutes of theseason. Falk, recalled onTuesday from the minor-league Lake Erie Monsters,played on the third pairwith fellow recent call-upAndrew Bodnarchuk.

“We need to have somediscipline,” Tortorella said,citing the Jackets’ standingas the NHL team with themost games (eight) inwhich they have beenshort-handed five or moretimes, a statistic noted byFox Sports Ohio announ-

cer Jeff Rimer during theteam’s 2-1 victory onWednesday at the NewJersey Devils.

Tortorella called it an“inconceivable” statistic.

Prout committed twohigh-sticking infractionsagainst the Devils, in-cluding a double-minor.He was benched by Torto-rella during the secondperiod and was scratchedfor the fifth time in sevengames on Friday.

Falk was acquired fromMinnesota in a trade lastseason that sent veteranJordan Leopold to theWild. He had two goals, 17assists and 134 penaltyminutes in 147 NHL gamesbefore Friday. He has twogoals, two assists and 24penalty minutes in 17games for Lake Erie thisseason.

“It’s a fresh start with anew head coach,” Falksaid of being recalled.“Fortunately for me, I’vegot (assistant Craig Harts-

burg) on the back end whohas seen me a little bit andknows what I bring. I’mjust going to bring what Ibring and be excited to beback in the NHL again.”

Prout had taken sevenminor penalties, the mostamong Blue Jackets defen-semen, entering Friday’sgame. His 1:18 penaltyminutes per game averagetrailed only enforcer JaredBoll (1:30) and fourth-lineforward Gregory Campbell(1:23), though both hadtaken fewer minors thanProut.

Hello, HannikainenThe Blue Jackets re-

called left wing MarkusHannikainen from LakeErie, giving the Jackets anextra forward in advanceof back-to-back gamesagainst the Penguins andat the St. Louis Blues to-night.

Hannikainen, a 22-year-old Finn, signed as a freeagent in April, had a strong

training camp and astrong start to his firstseason in North America.He has five goals and sixassists in 17 games for theMonsters and is tied forthe team lead in pointsand tied for second ingoals.

The highlight of the day?“Everybody was in a

food coma by 7, so every-one was gone by then,”Foligno joked. smitchell@dispatch.com

Blue Jackets notebook

Penalty-prone Prout getsscratched against PenguinsBy Shawn MitchellTHE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

pucks hitting the refereesin the helmet — threetimes — by accident. Ithad Brandon Dubinskycross-checking SidneyCrosby in the neck, maybenot by accident.

It had Evgeni Malkinthrowing haymakers atJack Johnson — whileJohnson’s arms were heldby a linesman. So, it haddancing bears.

It also had overtime, afirst for the Blue Jacketsthis season. It had a come-back victory for the hometeam, a rarity for the Jack-ets this season. It had apacked house at Nation-wide Arena, another rarity.In fact, it was the firstsellout since the opener.

The Jackets beat thePittsburgh Penguins 2-1before an announcedcrowd of 18,205 on Fridaynight. Cam Atkinsonscored the winning goal at2:42 of overtime. Dubinskyassisted to put an end to aDuby kind of game.

“That’s the way it alwaysis against these guys,”Dubinsky said. “They’rehard-fought games. Bothteams create scoring

chances, power plays,blocked shots, fights,scrums — it was a little bitof everything. We wouldn’texpect anything lessagainst the Pens. That’s theway it always is when weplays those guys.”

Dubinsky, during anet-front battle, laid hisstick on Crosby’s neck andput him down late in thesecond period. Dubinskyand Crosby have a history— Dubinsky loves playingagainst Crosby, a takeawayfrom when Dubinsky waswith the New York Rang-ers. The love has moved onto Columbus; Dubinskyshut down Crosby whenthe Jackets and Penguinsmet in the playoffs in 2014.

Crosby was not happywith Dubinsky. Penguinsgeneral manager JimRutherford and coachMike Johnston profferedthat Dubinsky should havegotten more than a two-minute minor. Thus, moretexture has been added tothe personal, and theteams’, rivalry.

“I could tell duringwarm-ups that we had adifferent atmospherehere,” Jackets center RyanJohansen said. “You couldjust feel it. These are thegames you want to be a

part of, and you look for-ward to them on the cal-endar.”

Johansen, by the way,was a battering force allnight.

In terms of skating,winning battles, playingsound team defense andgenerating offense — havewe forgotten anything? —this might have been thebest performance to datefor the Jackets.

The packed house wasintermittently titillatedand frustrated, as theJackets were, by Pittsburghgoaltender Marc-AndreFleury. He stopped allmanner of chances, in-cluding some hot deflec-tions. When Malkin finallybeat Sergei Bobrovsky witha power-play goal at 9:15of the third period, therewas a feeling that 1-0might win it.

The Jackets didn’t feelthat way. They came rightback with a goal — Johan-sen, from a wicked angle— less than three minuteslater. The goal was re-viewed, of course, but itstood.

“I know it was a differ-ent building,” Jacketscoach John Tortorella said.“I guess this is what hap-pens when the Penguins

come in here. It was agood game. I thought bothteams played well, but Ithought we deserved towin.”

The game had 68 shots,19 blocked shots, 55 hits,75 faceoffs and 34 penaltyminutes. It had moreface-washing than theMacy’s makeup counter. Ithad more yapping than aroomful of Chihuahuas.

Atkinson’s goal blew theroof off the joint. It led to acongratulatory, collapsingscrum along a sidewall.I’m not sure if the NickFoligno-Bobrovsky hugwas made, but no matter.Bob skated across the iceand threw himself on topof the pile. It sufficed.

“Big rivalry,” Bobrovskysaid. “Our team playedunbelievable. I was hap-py.”

Perhaps this was a semi-nal game for the Jackets.They are still digging outof a deep, dark hole, butthey are beginning tostring victories together,and they are losing theirfragility. This victory, inparticular, had hair on it.

liant piece of puck pos-session by Brandon Du-binsky, brought the sold-out crowd out of theirseats, although they hadbeen up all game. TheBlue Jacket and Penguinsplayed a game that wasevery bit as intense — ifless meaningful — thantheir six-game, first-round series in the Stan-ley Cup playoffs in 2014.

“It’s always a bloodbathout there with thoseguys,” said Blue Jacketscenter Ryan Johansen,who had the tying goal at11:57 of the third. “I loveit. It’s old-school hockey.”

Old-school hockey isone way to put it. Lum-berjack hockey might beanother.

At 18:40 of the secondperiod, Dubinsky andPittsburgh center SidneyCrosby went at it in frontof Sergei Bobrovsky, andit ended with Dubinskycross-checking Crosby inthe back of the head.

Dubinsky might havebroken his stick on im-pact. Or did he break itseconds later when hetwo-handed it into Cros-by’s crumbled torso be-neath him, before castingit away and heading tothe penalty box?

“There’s no secret,”Dubinsky said. “I try toplay (Crosby) as hard as Ican. That being said, Idon’t try and do anythingdirty. I felt like my stick(rode) up his back a littlebit. He’s kind of bent overthere in front. But again,that’s not the type ofplayer I am. I’m going toplay hard, but try and

play fair and play in be-tween the whistle.”

The play was beingreviewed by the NHL todetermine if supple-mental discipline was inorder.

“It wasn’t malicious orvicious or too hard in myopinion,” Dubinsky said.

The Penguins dis-agreed.

Crosby, who countsDubinsky as one of hisnemeses across the NHL,said: “I’m not surprised (itcame from Dubinsky), ifthat’s what you’re asking.I’m probably not sur-prised that if I was goingto get one of those, itwould be from (Dubin-sky).”

After missing the rest of

the second period — oneshift, likely — Crosbyreturned for the thirdperiod.

The team played to ascoreless tie after twoperiods, yet it was a thrill-ing game. Blue Jacketsforwards Boone Jennerand Matt Calvert wereparticularly combative, aswere Penguins forwardsChris Kunitz, Evgeni Mal-kin and Patric Hornqvist.

The Penguins took a 1-0lead on the power play at9:15 of the third on Mal-kin’s ninth goal of theseason. The Blue Jacketsresponded at 11:57 whenJohansen scored off anodd-angle shot that wentinto the net off Penguinsgoaltender Marc-AndreFleury.

This was the first timethe Blue Jackets havetested the NHL’s 3-on-3overtime system in theregular season. But that’snot what anyone willremember.

“Standing up for oneanother is a big part ofwinning,” Tortorella said.“It’s trying to create anidentity and a camarade-rie. We’re still taking toomany penalties, but thereare certain penalties thatare good penalties, and acouple of those happenedtonight.”aportzline@dispatch.com

Ohio State coach Ke-vin McGuff refused tocall it a turkey hangover,but he knew that theBuckeyes didn’t play wellwhile outlasting Liberty75-65 on Friday in LasVegas during the open-ing round of the SouthPoint ThanksgivingShootout.

The 11th-ranked Buck-eyes (3-2) shot 40.3 per-cent from the field andmade only 18 of 32 freethrows to give the de-fending Big South cham-pion Flames (2-3) achance to pull off anupset.

“Our focus todaywasn’t very good,”McGuff said. “We had a

chance to blow it openearly in the second half.We turned them overand missed a wide-openlayup. We missed a lot ofshots, and we weren’tvery good from the free-throw line. (Liberty is)good, and they keptplaying.”

The Buckeyes lookedto have found theirgame in the secondquarter when theyturned a three-pointdeficit into a 44-33 leadfollowing two freethrows by Ameryst Al-ston with 1:01 left in thehalf.

Brooke Alexander,however, beat the buzzerwith a three-pointer forthe Flames, and theblowout never material-ized. Liberty tied the

score with an 8-0 run tostart the third quarter.

OSU re-established aneight-point lead, but sixmisses from the free-throw line kept the ad-vantage from growing todouble digits. OSU lead-ing scorer Kelsey Mitch-ell, who finished with 20points, had two of herfour misfires from thestripe in that quarter.

“That’s an anomaly forKelsey,” McGuff said.

“I’m not worried abouther.”

Liberty began thefourth quarter with a 9-0run to take a 61-60 leadwith 7:29 left. ShaylaCooper returned theadvantage to the Buck-eyes with a 15-footjumper, and OSU heldon for dear life fromthere.

Alexa Hart came upbig in the final two min-utes for the Buckeyes.She passed to Lisa Blairfor a basket, scoredinside, blocked a shotand hit two free throwson her way to a season-high 18 points.

Liberty committed 29turnovers that led to 37points for OSU.

“We turned themover,” McGuff said. “We

didn’t get the benefitfrom them that weshould have.”

Cait Craft returned tothe starting lineup aftermissing Sunday’s gamebecause of a lower-leginjury. She scored sevenpoints. Freshman KaylanPugh had a career-highfive steals.

Ashley Rininger ledLiberty with 18 points.The Flames outrebound-ed the Buckeyes 42-31.

Ohio State will face10th-ranked Texas A&M(5-0) today. The Aggiesbeat No. 16 California75-58. Courtney Williamsscored 32 for TexasA&M, which gave coachGary Blair his 700thcareer victory.

Buckeyes not great, but good enoughBy Jim MassieTHE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

“We missed a lotof shots, and weweren’t very goodfrom the free-throw line.” — Ke-vin McGuff, OSUcoach

Arena. Tarrant enteredthe game having scoredmore than half his sea-son points from the free-throw line, making 23 of24.

When he made bothfree throws, it pushed theTigers’ lead to four with30 seconds left andhelped Memphis finallyfend off the Buckeyes81-76 in the HoopHallMiami Invitational.

“It’s kind of how ourluck is going,” Mattasaid. “Keeping (Tarrant)off the line was some-thing we were really,really trying to do.”

The Buckeyes (2-3)have lost three straightgames for the first time

since a four-game streakfrom Jan. 7 to 20, 2014.They hadn’t lost threestraight nonconferencegames since Dec. 28-30,1997, when they tookpart in the Rainbow Clas-sic in Honolulu.

Tarrant finished with 16points while going 14 of16 from the line as Mem-phis (3-2) turned a foul-ridden game into a con-

siderable edge. The Ti-gers were 28 of 36 fromthe line compared with11 of 19 for the Buckeyesin a game that featured50 fouls — 28 on OhioState — and saw OhioState’s top two centersfoul out with more thantwo minutes remainingin regulation.

Memphis forwardShaq Goodwin led allscorers with 23 points. A63.6-percent free-throwshooter entering thegame, he made 9 of 9against the Buckeyes.

“A couple things hap-pened to us tonight, Ican’t even describethem,” Matta said. “It’slike, ‘How does thathappen?’ ”

Still, the Buckeyes hadchances. They led 48-39with 17:33 remaining

after an 11-2 run, but theTigers regrouped, puttogether a 16-5 spurt totake a two-point leadwith 12:47 remainingand turned the gameinto a nip-and-tuckaffair for the remainder.

Tied at 57, the Buck-eyes called a timeoutwith 29.5 seconds and22 remaining on theshot clock, but couldonly get a Lyle airballfrom the left baseline asthe shot clock buzzed.Goodwin grabbed therebound and threw itthe length of the court,but the officials initiallywhistled traveling with6.5 seconds left beforevideo replay gave Mem-phis the ball with 7.3seconds left. DedricLawson lost control ofthe ball, and MarkelCrawford’s heave as timeexpired was well short toforce overtime.

The Buckeyes missedall six of their shotsfrom the field in over-time. Lyle led the Buck-eyes with a career-high18 points but was limit-ed to five after halftime.

“We didn’t even makea field goal (in over-time),” Lyle said. “That’son me being a pointguard. I take full respon-sibility for that.”

Ohio State shot 60percent (15 of 25) in thesecond half but commit-ted 13 turnovers thatMemphis turned into 13points.

“Both our seasonswere on the line for thatgame,” Ohio State juniorMarc Loving said. “Forus, just mental lapses atthe end. Me personally,too many turnovers, butthere’s things that candefinitely be corrected.”
