Austin Price had 14 points, Tim Kempton scored 13 and Matt Holba and Pat Andree each had 11 points for the Mountain Hawks.I was worried about thus game because these guys are really good, said Mississippi State head coach Ben Howland. They picked us apart with their shooting and execution. We worked all week on doubling the post, which is something we have to do.They hurt us in transition and they did about what theyve been doing from the field. They really cut us to shreds and we attacked their zone poorly.I.J. Ready scored 19 of his 20 points in the second half for Mississippi State. Tyson Carter had 16 points for the Bulldogs (3-2) while Mario Kegler scored 12 with nine rebounds. Lamar Peters and Aric Holman added 11 and 10 points, respectively.Lehigh (2-2) used a 13-1 run midway through the first half to break it open. Mississippi State went 8:53 without a field goal during that stretch and trailed 31-20 with 2:28 left before Lehigh took a 38-29 lead at halftime.Normally we would like to establish ourselves in man-to-man defense, said Lehigh head coach Brett Reed. But Mississippi State forced us to go zone and we also had Tim Kempton in foul trouble. Fortunately, we were able to hold them to one shot we were active enough to get them out of a rhythm, offensively.Mississippi State shot 41.3 percent for the game and made 7 of 22 from beyond the arc.The Mountain Hawks led by as many as 21 in the second half.Lehigh won the battle of the boards 39-32 with Holba grabbing eight boards.Lehigh outscored Mississippi State 38-28 in the paint and held a 13-4 advantage in bench scoring.BIG PICTUREMississippi State: Friday marked Mississippi States first game without leading-scorer Quinndary Weatherspoon.

Luke Brattan and Tommy Oar are among seven new faces in an extended 30-man squad named by Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou for next months World Cup qualifier against Thailand.All 23 players who were part of the squad that drew with Saudi Arabia and Japan have been recalled, along with Brattan, Oar, Josh Risdon, Jason Geria and overseas-based trio Nathan Burns, Milos Degenek and Aziz Behich.Postecoglou will trim the squad back to 23 after watching this weekends matches, effectively challenging the seven new faces to show why they deserve to survive the cut.We have players who are in the squad or on the fringe, including those playing in the A-League, that are just starting their seasons and with the tight turnaround from Japan to Thailand I wanted to have another look at them after they have showed good signs in the opening rounds, Postecoglou said.It is yet another good sign of the depth we are creating and when we announce the team after this weekend there will be players who miss out that are playing well enough to be part of the squad.Brattan, who was part of a Socceroos camp last year but failed to win a cap, has made a strong start to the A-League season with new club Melbourne City while Brisbane Roar winger Oar has not made a national team appearance for nearly 12 months.The duo are among five A-League players in the squad, along with Perth Glorys Josh Risdon, Melbourne Victorys Jason Geria and Citys marquee star Tim Cahill.Risdon, Geria and Degenek all play at right-back, whichh has recently emerged as a problem position for Australia.ddddddddddddThe inclusion of Burns, who was left out of the last Socceroos squad, comes as no surprise after Postecoglou name checked him earlier this month as one of few players capable of challenging Mathew Leckie and Robbie Kruse for a wing spot.Left-sided defender Behich, meanwhile, is in line for his first Socceroos involvement since last years 2-1 win in Kyrgystan.The Socceroos are second in Group B and cannot afford to slip up against a winless Thailand, whose chances of World Cup qualification for Russia 2018 appear shot.The clash in Bangkok will proceed as planned despite the recent death of Thailands king, although supporters have been asked to treat the match as a solemn occasion.We will be in Bangkok for a longer than usual period as we only have one match in this window so we will have a good lead in to ensure we are well prepared, Postecoglou said.Australia: Aziz Behich, Luke Brattan, Nathan Burns, Tim Cahill, Milos Degenek, Adam Federici, Jason Geria, Alex Gersbach, Apostolos Giannou, Craig Goodwin, Chris Ikonomidis, Jackson Irvine, Mile Jedinak, James Jeggo, Tomi Juric, Robbie Kruse, Mitchell Langerak, Mathew Leckie, Massimo Luongo, Ryan McGowan, Mark Milligan, Aaron Mooy, Tommy Oar, Josh Risdon, Tommy Rogic, Mathew Ryan, Trent Sainsbury, Brad Smith, Matthew Spiranovic, Bailey Wright.
