NCAAF News: Holton Ahlers guides ECU past Coastal Carolina in Birmingham Bowl


Holton Ahlers threw five touchdown passes and ran for a score as the East Carolina quarterback closed his college career in a 53-29 victory against Coastal Carolina in the Birmingham Bowl on Tuesday in Birmingham, Ala.

Isaiah Winstead caught two touchdown passes and C.J. Johnson racked up 83 receiving yards and a touchdown reception to help the Pirates (8-5) register their first bowl win in nine years. Keaton Mitchell rushed for 127 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries.

Quarterback Grayson McCall, who announced Monday that he is leaving the Chanticleers via the transfer portal, had a solid outing before an injury on a second-quarter touchdown run cut short his final outing in a Coastal Carolina uniform.

East Carolina was in its first bowl game since January 2015 after last year’s scheduled Military Bowl encounter with Boston College was nixed because of COVID-19 issues involving the Eagles.

Alhers, who also tossed a two-point conversion pass for the game’s final points, completed 26 of 38 throws for 300 yards.

Coastal Carolina played under interim coach Chad Staggs after coach Jamey Chadwell departed to take the coaching opening at Liberty. The Chanticleers (9-4) were denied a third consecutive season with double-digit wins.

McCall completed 10 of 12 passes for 67 yards before Jarrett Guest was summoned. Guest was 6-for-11 for 136 yards and a score.

East Carolina began to take control after going ahead in the second quarter. Following a Coastal Carolina fumble on the first snap of the second half, the Pirates drove 27 yards and Ahlers hooked up with Jaylen Johnson on a 2-yard touchdown play for a 31-14 lead.

The Chanticleers bounced back on Guest’s 47-yard TD pass to Tyler Roberts.

Another Coastal Carolina fumble came before Ahlers’ fourth-down 1-yard touchdown run that allowed the Pirates to stretch their lead to 38-21.

Gerard Stringer forced two of the three second-half fumbles by Coastal Carolina.

The Pirates went up 10-0 in the first quarter and held a 24-14 halftime lead.

East Carolina used more than four minutes to go 70 yards in 10 plays on the game’s opening possession, settling for Andrew Conrad’s 28-yard field goal.

Ahlers then threw 27 yards to Winstead for the game’s first touchdown, capping a five-play, 77-yard possession.

Coastal Carolina got on the board on the second play of the second quarter on Reese White’s 1-yard run. McCall’s 9-yard run on the Chanticleers’ next possession put Coastal Carolina on top.

An Ahlers-to-Winstead play of 11 yards allowed East Carolina to regain the lead at 17-14 in the second quarter.

On their next possession, the Pirates went 64 yards in seven plays with Keaton Mitchell scoring on a 1-yard run 1:44 before halftime.

NCAAF News: Ed Reed lands first head coaching job at Bethune-Cookman


Pro Football and College Football Hall of Fame safety Ed Reed has agreed to become the new head coach at Bethune-Cookman, the school announced Tuesday on its athletics department Twitter feed.

This will be the first head coaching position for Reed, 44, who served as the “chief of staff” and senior football advisor at his alma mater, the University of Miami, for the last three seasons.

Prior to that role with Miami, Reed’s only other coaching experience came with the Bills in 2016 as an assistant defensive backs coach.

Reed takes over a program that finished 2-9 in 2022 under Terry Sims, who was fired in November after seven seasons.

A dominant player at Miami, Reed was a consensus All-American in 2000 and 2001 and the Big East co-Defensive Player of the Year in 2001. His 21 interceptions over four seasons remains a program record. Reed also played a vital role for the Hurricanes en route to their 2001 BCS national championship.

Selected 24th overall by the Ravens in 2002, Reed was a five-time All-Pro in his 11 seasons with Baltimore, which included a Super Bowl XLVII victory.

Reed, who also played for the New York Jets and Houston Texans, was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2018 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame the following year.

Luka Doncic posts 60-point triple-double as Mavericks edge Knicks in OT


Dallas’ Luka Doncic posted career highs of 60 points and 21 rebounds, dished out 10 assists and converted a put-back with one second left to force overtime, and the Mavericks emerged with a 126-121 win over the visiting New York Knicks on Tuesday.

It marked the first 60/20/10 performance in NBA history.

Doncic led the Mavericks on a raucous, fourth-quarter comeback from down nine points with just 44.6 seconds remaining. He scored 12 points in the final 2:38 of regulation, including the last three in a wild sequence to force overtime.

New York sent Doncic to the free-throw line with a take foul, leading 115-112 with 4.2 seconds remaining. Doncic sunk the first shot, then — after intentionally missing the second — chased down the carom tipped backwards from a scrum and hoisted up a shot just before the buzzer to knot the score at 115.

In overtime, Dallas did not yield a field goal for more than four minutes, building a five-point lead in the process. Doncic and Spencer Dinwiddie put the game away with foul shooting down the stretch.

Doncic’s final two free throws bumped him to his final scoring total, giving him the first 50-point, 20-rebound triple-double since Wilt Chamberlain in 1968.

For Doncic, Tuesday marked his second game with at least 50 points in the last three outings — while the Knicks gave up at least 51 points to one player for the second time in four games. New York’s losing streak, which reached four games with Tuesday’s loss, began Dec. 21 when the Knicks gave up 52 points to Toronto’s Pascal Siakam.

The loss in Dallas also marked the Knicks’ second in the current skid where New York coughed up a lead in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter, giving up the winning basket to Chicago’s DeMar DeRozan on Friday.

Doncic’s historic performance overshadowed a career-best night from New York’s Quentin Grimes, who scored a personal-high 33 points and matched his career high with seven made 3-pointers.

Julius Randle added 29 points and grabbed 18 rebounds in the loss, and Mitchell Robinson added 20 points and 16 rebounds. Dinwiddie scored 25 points and Christian Wood chipped in 19 points for the Mavericks.

New York lost RJ Barrett less than two minutes into Tuesday’s contest due to a finger laceration.

Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown has entered NBA health and safety protocol and will miss the team’s game against the visiting Denver Nuggets on Tuesday.

Associate head coach Jordi Fernandez will fill in for Brown against the Nuggets.

During his time with Cleveland, Brown was named NBA Coach of the Year in 2009. He has also been on the coaching staff of four championship-caliber teams, winning one title with the San Antonio Spurs as an assistant and three with the Warriors.

The Kings entered Tuesday’s matchup with Denver in sixth place in the Western Conference at 17-14.

NCAAF News: Seth Henigan leads Memphis over Utah State in First Responder Bowl


Seth Henigan passed for 284 yards and three touchdowns to lead Memphis to a 38-10 win against Utah State at the First Responder Bowl on Tuesday in Dallas.

Henigan completed 10 straight passes during one stretch in the first half before finishing 20 of 29 with no interceptions.

Eddie Lewis caught five passes for 83 yards and two touchdowns for the Tigers (7-6), who qualified for their ninth straight bowl game, the longest active streak of any non-Power 5 team in the country.

Utah State quarterback Cooper Legas completed 7 of 12 passes for just 34 yards with an interception before he sustained a right leg injury on a sack by James Stewart with 10:47 left in the third quarter.

Bishop Davenport replaced Legas, and the freshman went 7-for-9 for 100 yards with one touchdown and an interception.

Calvin Tyler Jr., a 1,000-yard rusher this season, finished with 79 rushing yards on 16 carries for the Aggies (6-7).

Memphis built a 24-3 halftime lead as Henigan passed for 217 yards and three scores and the defense limited Utah State to 89 total yards.

The Tigers punted on their first two drives before taking a 3-0 lead on a 26-yard field goal by Chris Howard with 1:05 left in the first quarter.

Connor Coles kicked a 53-yard field goal to tie the score 3-3 with 12:13 left in the first half.

Henigan later found Lewis on a quick slant for a 15-yard touchdown pass and a 10-3 lead with 7:24 remaining.

After the Tigers forced a turnover on downs at the 50-yard line, Henigan connected with Lewis on a 22-yard touchdown pass, stretching the lead to 17-3 with 2:56 left.

Henigan tossed his third touchdown of the first half with 24 seconds left, finding tight end Caden Prieskorn for a 3-yard strike that made it 24-3.

After a scoreless third quarter, Davenport hooked up with Brian Cobbs on a 44-yard touchdown to cut the lead to 24-10 with 11:04 left.

The Tigers recovered an onside kick near midfield and Jevyon Ducker (13 carries, 83 yards) scored on a 1-yard run to make it 31-10 with 7:22 left.

Ducker added a 48-yard touchdown run with 3:16 remaining to make it 38-10.

Thunder wrap up record homestand with win over Spurs


Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 28 points and Mike Muscala added 19 off the bench as the Oklahoma City Thunder earned a 130-114 victory over the visiting San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday to complete the longest homestand in franchise history.

Jalen Williams added 15 points and nine rebounds for the Thunder, who have sparked a mini revival by going 4-3 during the run of home games with all three defeats coming by one possession. The bench scored 68 points, the second most during a game in Oklahoma City history.

Devin Vassell scored 20 points for the Spurs and Keldon Johnson added 19 as San Antonio lost for the fifth time in its past seven games. The Spurs were playing for the second time in two nights after earning a victory over the Utah Jazz at home Monday.

San Antonio played a majority of the game without head coach Gregg Popovich, who was ejected less than a minute into the second quarter when he was assessed two quick technical fouls after engaging with game officials.

The Thunder led by as many as 11 points in the first half before taking a 70-60 lead at the break after shooting 53.5 percent from the field in the opening two quarters. But the Spurs closed the gap and trailed 95-93 heading into the fourth quarter.

A 14-3 spurt less than 3 1/2 minutes into the final period gave the Thunder a 109-96 lead, their largest of the game to that point.

Gilgeous-Alexander had eight assists and four blocked shots while not taking a 3-point attempt for just the third game this season. Gilgeous-Alexander also made 10 of his 11 free-throw attempts.

Oklahoma City had three players score in double figures off the bench, including Tre Mann with 17 points and Aaron Wiggins with 12.

The Thunder’s Aleksej Pokusevski left less than two minutes into the game with a left leg injury and did not return.

Jeremy Sochan scored 16 points and Tre Jones added 14 for the Spurs.

Duane Washington Jr. helps Suns spoil Grizzlies’ home winning streak


Duane Washington Jr. scored a career-high 26 points as the visiting Phoenix Suns rolled to a 125-108 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night.

The victory snapped the Grizzlies’ seven-game home winning streak and exacted a little revenge from a 25-point blowout loss to Memphis on Friday.

Washington came off the bench and sunk 10 of 21 shots to go along with eight assists. Chris Paul, who was 4-for-5 from beyond the 3-point line, had 14 points and six assists and was one of eight Phoenix players to score in double figures.

Jock Landale (16 points), Deandre Ayton (15 points, 10 rebounds), Mikal Bridges (10 points) and Torrey Craig (10 points) joined Paul as the other starters to score in double digits. Reserves Josh Okogie and Damion Lee were also productive, scoring 12 points apiece.

Phoenix shot 50 percent (43 of 86), including 54.8 percent (17 of 31) from behind the arc. The Suns were 22-for-25 from the free-throw line.

Ja Morant led Memphis with 34 points and six assists. Desmond Bane added 14 points for the Grizzlies, who shot 39.6 percent (36 of 91).

Steven Adams added six points and 10 boards. Brandon Clark had eight points, eight rebounds and three assists off the bench.

Memphis pulled to within six points, 80-74, with 3:58 left in the third quarter, but Phoenix closed the quarter on a 17-6 run. The Grizzlies never seriously challenged the Suns in the final frame.

Phoenix jumped out to a 23-22 first-quarter lead behind seven points from Bridges and five from Landale.

Two free throws by Morant — due to a flagrant foul — and a floating Dillon Brooks jump shot trimmed Phoenix’s lead to 35-33 with 6:32 to go in the second quarter. But a 16-5 run put the Suns up 51-38 with less than four minutes to go in the half.

Landale’s two free throws closed the first-half scoring and put Phoenix up 65-49.
