EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Miles Bridges provided a glimpse on Friday of what he can do when he gets rolling offensively. Michigan State coach Tom Izzo would like to see his team feed the ball to his freshman phenom more often.Bridges converted all but one of his 11 shots in the first half of a 100-53 victory over Mississippi Valley State. He scored only three points after halftime but finished the game with 24 points, 11 rebounds and six assists.Izzo wants to see the Spartans rely consistently on the talents of the 6-foot-7 Bridges, rather than take 28 3-point shots, as it did on Friday.They will get another chance on Sunday when the No. 13 Spartans host Florida Gulf Coast.I am not looking for that at all, Izzo said of the 3-point shots. Im really looking to get the ball to Miles inside a little more.Bridges bounced back from a six-point, nine-turnover performance against No. 2 Kentucky earlier in the week.He became more of a normal human being at the start of the second half, Izzo said. I like him abnormal, personally. And thats what I told him at the end. We just gotta keep that fire.But he was never lazy, maybe the competitiveness, the want to win games, is there. But the competitiveness, the want to score or rebound, make assists, be aggressive, I thought dropped off a little bit in the second half.Although Izzo wants to pound the ball inside, the Spartans top perimeter threats regained their strokes. Senior Eron Harris and sophomore Matt McQuaid drained five 3-pointers apiece against the Delta Devils.The Spartans (1-2) need to get in a groove with three upcoming games from Wednesday through Friday at the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in the Bahamas.Were ready to go into the next game, Harris said. Were feeling good right now. We need to get back-to-back wins so we can go into the Bahamas feeling good.Everything happened for us (Friday), but we still can improve. We still need to play better defense, we need to rebound the ball, and we need to take care of the ball a little better, too.The Eagles (1-2) figure to offer more resistance to the Spartans than winless Mississippi Valley. They gave Baylor a tough battle on Friday, losing on the road 81-72.Florida Gulf Coast trailed by 10 at the half but was down only one with less than three minutes remaining.Baylor did a good job in the first half of throwing the ball inside and putting us on our heels, Eagles coach Joe Dooley said. A lot of those buckets that they got -- and the reason they shot such a high percentage -- was because we turned over too many live-ball situations.Guard Brandon Goodwin, who leads the club with a 20.0 average, had a team-high 22 points against the Bears and guard Zach Johnson (15.7 average per game) added 17.The Eagles have been playing without their top returning scorer and rebounder, Marc-Eddy Norelia, who is recovering from a broken left hand.Baylor still needed a late 9-0 run to put them away, which should put the Spartans on notice.We regrouped in the second half and had our defense a little bit more situated, Dooley said. We got into a better offensive flow. At the end, they made some plays and picked up a couple loose balls under the basket. Lanny McDonald Jersey .In my heart and mind Im competing for India, luge competitor Shiva Keshavan told The Associated Press in an email interview. Every day Im flooded with messages from Indians all over the world telling me they are supporting me. Chris Bigras Jersey .J. -- Marshawn Lynch said Thursday it will be good to get back to football after the Seattle quiet talking running back wrapped up his final mandatory media session of Super Bowl week. http://www.avalancheauthority.com/ . Argentina winger Ezequiel Lavezzi and France midfielder Blaise Matuidi scored, with star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic setting up both despite having a poor game by his high standards. Forward Eduardo gave Ajaccio the lead in the sixth minute after being set up by right winger Benjamin Andre, and the Corsican side looked comfortable in the first half, with the lively Johan Cavalli causing problems with his probing runs from midfield. Joe Colborne Jersey . -- Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring four goals in his first four games. Nikita Zadorov Jersey . LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string. Let me say this about Tim Tebow: I hope all his dreams come true. I hope he hits more home runs in his showcase than Giancarlo Stanton whomped in the Home Run Derby. I hope theres a big league contract awaiting him as well as a major motion picture he can star in himself.But now that Ive got that out of the way, its time to break it to him: That aint happening.That isnt how his beautiful baseball comeback tale is going to end. I bet he gets signed. I bet he gets an invitation to somebodys spring training camp. I even bet Ill be waiting for him when he pulls in, happily awaiting the chance to tell you all about it.But the truth is, what Tim Tebow is attempting to do cant be done. Hasnt been done. Wont ever be done.Hes missed 11 years in the batters box, one longtime scouting director said Tuesday. Nobody overcomes that. I know Josh Hamilton missed four years and he came back. But he was the No. 1 pick in the draft. Youd have to be a guy like that and just have stupid ability. And nobody ever thought of Tim Tebow like that.Not to say Tebow wouldnt have had a future if hed wanted to grow up and be the next Mike Trout instead of the next John Elway. He did hit almost .500 in his junior year in high school, against great competition in Florida. But even then, he was viewed as a guy with raw strength and athletic aptitude but lacking exactly the same quality that kept him from succeeding on Sunday afternoons -- fluidity.So who knows what he might have been if hed spent the last 11 years accumulating at-bats and reps and knowledge? But when he chose to spend those 11 years running bootlegs, learning to read zone defenses and pumping weights to build football strength, he was leading himself down a path that does not normally lead -- andd has never led -- to the top story on Baseball Tonight.ddddddddddddYes, Deion Sanders made it from the Falcons defensive backfield to the World Series. Yes, Brian Jordan played both these sports professionally. Yes, D.J. Dozier spent five years in the NFL, then played left field for the Mets. But you know what those guys never did? They never stopped playing baseball for a whole decade. Thats what. They all played in the minor leagues while they were dabbling in football. Thats what.Unfortunately, Tim Tebow did stop piling up those invaluable at-bats. From age 18 until age 29, he has had zero competitive plate appearances. So if youre ready, were about to reveal the complete list of players who missed 11 years of baseball, then made it to the big leagues as a position player. Here it comes in 3 ... 2 ... 1.INSERT BLANK WHITE CANVAS HEREIts never been done, said another exec Tuesday. Not that I know of.You know, said the scouting director quoted earlier, you always hear these stories about some kid who was out of baseball, then shows up in an independent league and surfaces as a big leaguer. But its as a pitcher. This guy is trying to do it as a position player. And ... he didnt even play his senior year of high school.So teams will go to his showcase later this month. In fact, I couldnt find a single team that said it wouldnt. And one of those teams will no doubt sign him. Why the heck not, right?But the dream hes chasing is one that has never come true. On the big screen down at the Cineplex, maybe. Just not in the world of professional sports that Tim Tebow is having such a hard time letting go of.
