y hope to cash in on the Islanders penalty killing woes.The Bruins have won

HONOLULU -- Arizona coach Sean Miller came up with perfect ending for his Wildcats.Kadeem Allen took the ball the length of the court and scored with 1.3 seconds left and the 10th-ranked Wildcats beat No. 12 Michigan State 65-63 on Friday night in the Armed Forces Classic.Putting the ball in (Allens) hands in that situation was I think the smart move, and he did a great job finishing, Miller said.The Wildcats fell behind by double figures early.We just got off to a terrible start, but a lot of times when youre not at home and you get off to a slow start, Miller said. You dont necessarily put it behind you, but we did and I credit our team for being able to do that.Kobi Simmons led the Wildcats in the season opener for both teams with 18 points while Lauri Markkanen scored 13 points and grabbed six rebounds. Allen finished with 10 points.Simmons stepped up big time, first half he really carried the team on his back. Allen said. We fed off his energy and just played basketball.I feel like you have to have confidence when you step on the floor, Simmons said. My teammates know what we need to do, and I came in and just sparked the movement.The Wildcats won despite playing without guard Allonzo Trier, who is out for unspecified reasons. Trier was Arizonas third-leading scorer last season at 14.8 points per game.Michigan State freshman Miles Bridges wowed the crowd with some impressive dunks and he finished with 21 points and seven rebounds.The turnovers were ridiculous, Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. We competed on the boards. We actually did a hell of a job on the boards considering we couldnt give anybody a rest because of the foul trouble we were in. That really hurt us in the first half when we were playing exceptionally well. I thought they turned up the heat, they did a pretty good job, but the mistakes we made were freshman errors and the layups we missed, you cant do that against good teams and win.Izzo took some of the blame for the opening loss.If I look at it big picture, I thought we outplayed them more than they outplayed us and I love their team. I think they have a good team, he said. To compete like we did, theres a positive in that but weve got a long way to go at executing down the stretch. And thats my fault. Just trouble adjusting to the lineups, I have to do a better job.The Wildcats are also missing redshirt freshman Ray Smith, who tore his right ACL for the second straight year during an exhibition game against College of Idaho. The torn ACL was Smiths third in three years, leading him to end his basketball career.Michigan State announced last month that forward Ben Carter, a graduate transfer from UNLV, needed knee surgery that will keep him out an extended period, after he was hurt while defending a shot.BIG PICTUREARIZONA: Michigan State was the Wildcats highest-ranked season-opening opponent since 2001-02 when they opened against No. 2 Maryland. Expect the Wildcats to compete for the Pac-12 title and a potential deep run in the NCAA Tournament. How long Trier is out will play a big role early in the season.MICHIGAN STATE: This was the first of several big tests in November. The Spartans will face second-ranked Kentucky, No. 1 Duke and potentially, No. 13 Louisville later this month. They have never faced three top 15 opponents in November and have never played four top 15 opponents in any month during the regular season.TURNAROUNDSimmons came into the game after the Spartans took the early lead.Kobi Simmons, for a freshman, showed a lot of confidence, a lot of ability. We went into halftime and I think he had 15 of our 34 points, and thats a big reason we got back in the game. Miller said. He has a lot of talent. We watch him every day and I think the best is yet to come for him, too.UP NEXTARIZONA: Arizona faces Cal State Bakersfield on Tuesday in Tucson.MICHIGAN STATE: The Spartans will play No. 2 Kentucky at the Champions Classic in New York on Tuesday.Dan Skipper Jersey . -- Ryan Getzlaf grabbed the three pucks wrapped in tape and held them up to his chest in the Anaheim Ducks dressing room for a celebration nine seasons in the making.

New York has lost five in a row and fallen into last place in the Eastern Conference.Theres a lot of fight in that room, Islanders coach Jack Capuano said after Sundays 6-2 home loss to the Ottawa Senators. When teams lose it, they start quitting, and they dont work, and theres no emotion. That hasnt happened with this group.The Isles, who have the third-worst points total in the league, are in the midst of their third losing streak of at least three games this season.Its still early, but they are a distant 13 points away from the last playoff spot. They have been losing close games as theyve been tied after two periods and led in one of the contests. But they have been outscored 11-0 in the five third periods.They are 1-for-12 on the power play and have yielded eight power-play goals in the 15 chances during the streak.Whats most puzzling about the slide is that the Islanders were 5-0-1 in the six games before the losing streak.The Bruins havent been great, winning two of their last seven. But they have points in four of those games.Facing a tired Los Angeles Kings team on Sunday, they played two days after Pastrnak underwent minor right elbow surgery and fashioned their best defensive effort of the season in a 1-0 win. Tuukka Rask recorded his fourth shutout of the season.Its one of those games that you only need one bad bouunce or one really good chance for them to tie it, and (Sunday) we didnt even give them that, Rask said after his 34th career shutout, this one tying Devan Dubnyk for most in the league this season.ddddddddddddThe Islanders have used three different goalies during their losing streak, J-F Berube playing both games over the weekend.Rask faced only 18 shots in blanking the Kings and figures to take his 10-3-0 career record against the Islanders into this game.We score a lot of goals but I think we have the depth we can provide more scoring from other guys too, Rask said. We seem to like to win these tight games, these low scoring games. Thats all right. But yeah, I think our team defense overall today was tremendous.They can score goals, but the stats say they have scored two goals or less in 22 of their 33 games. And without Pastrnak, who has more than twice as many goals as anyone else on the roster, defense has to be key.They hope to have added some offense Monday when Frank Vatrano was recalled from a conditioning assignment after recovering from foot surgery. He had eight goals in 39 games last season and scored in both rehab games in the American Hockey League.While the Islanders have been having trouble with their power play, the Bruins are experiencing the same, going 2-for-31 with the advantage over the last 10 games. Obviously, they hope to cash in on the Islanders penalty killing woes.The Bruins have won the last five games between the teams, sweeping three meetings last season.Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Cheap NBA Jerseys [url=http://www.jerseysns
