East Lansing, MI (SportsNetwork. Stromile Swift Jersey .com) - The Tigers of Texas Southern continue their murderous start to the season, as they pay a visit to the 25th-ranked Michigan State Spartans on Saturday. Texas Southern has won only one of its first nine games, the lone triumph coming in a 71-59 decision against Lamar back on Nov. 26. Since then, the Tigers have dropped four straight, the most recent of which being a 94-54 shellacking at the hands of the Gonzaga Bulldogs on Monday. TSU is playing one of the toughest schedules in the nation, as it has already faced Indiana, Tennessee, SMU, Baylor, Florida and Gonzaga, with this bout and one against Kansas State still to come. At the start of the season, Michigan State was considered to be one of the elite teams not only in the Big Ten Conference, but the nation as well. While they have won eight games, they have faltered in their biggest tests -- losing to Duke (81-71), Kansas (61-56) and Notre Dame (79-78 OT). The teams only win of note came against Marquette in a 79-68 final on Nov. 28. Still, the Spartans bring a three-game win streak into this contest. This is the middle game of MSUs current seven-game homestand. The Spartans have won both previous meetings with the Tigers in the series, all of which have occurred in East Lansing. As has been a running theme for Texas Southern this season, the team simply didnt have the talent or depth needed to keep pace with Gonzaga earlier this week. The Tigers shot just 35.6 percent from the floor, which included only three makes on 17 3-point attempts, while the Bulldogs drained 10-of-19 long- range launches en route to a blistering 63.6 percent overall shooting effort. Deverell Biggs and Madarious Gibbs scored 12 points apiece for TSU, while David Blanks tallied 11 points in 27 minutes of action off the bench. Chris Thomas (15.0 ppg, 5.0 rpg) is Texas Southerns leading scorer and rebounder, and Biggs (11.4 ppg) is the only other double-digit performer this season for a team that generates just 59.2 ppg because of its poor .393 FG percentage, .260 3-point FG percentage and .615 free-throw percentage. The Tigers have been lax at the defensive end as well, yielding 76.7 ppg, as foes are knocking down 50.7 percent of their total shots, which includes a 45.3 percent showing from beyond the arc. Michigan State may have won its recent game against Eastern Michigan (66-46), but the team lost one of its top performers as Branden Dawson suffered a fractured wrist after taking a hard fall. Dawson, who averages 10.8 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, will miss this contest as well Mondays clash with The Citadel. He will be evaluated after the holiday and could return for the Spartans Big Ten opener against Maryland on Dec. 30. Back to the win over EMU, Bryn Forbes led the way for MSU with 14 points, Travis Trice had 13, Marvin Clark, Jr. 11 and Matt Costello 10. The Spartans shot just 37.7 percent from the floor, but held the Eagles to a paltry 22.6 percent, which included a woeful 4-of-22 performance from 3-point land. In addition to Dawson, Michigan State boasts three other double-digit scorers in Trice (14.2 ppg), Denzel Valentine (14.1 ppg) and Forbes (10.8 ppg). The team as a whole is netting 75.4 ppg while permitting only 59.6 ppg, and it also owns significant advantages in FG percentage (.494 to .364), 3-point FG percentage (.444 to .276) and rebounds (+8.4). The Spartans are -1.2 in turnover differential, but thats mainly because they goad the opposition into only 10.5 per tilt. Another area they need to show improvement is at the free- throw line, where they are converting only 62.8 percent of their tries at the moment. Vince Carter Jersey . -- Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday for the first time in his seven-year career because of a swollen muscle in his left upper back.

He then kicked nine goals in succession -- two conversions and seven penalties -- before being replaced in the 62nd minute, three points short of the Highlanders record for most points in a match.The Atlanta Hawks were able to keep winning despite resting some starters in their last two games against lesser competition. Matching their longest winning streak in the last 17 seasons figures to be much more difficult with Friday nights road meeting against a Toronto Raptors team that has one of its best players back in the mix. You can catch all the action live NOW on TSN2 and TSN Radio 1050 Toronto, beginning with the pregame show. Atlanta (31-8) tops the Eastern Conference with Atlantic Division-leading Toronto 4 1/2 games back in third place. The Hawks are 1 1/2 behind Golden State for the leagues best record and are an NBA-best 24-2 since Nov. 28 thanks to 10 straight victories, their most since winning their first 11 in 1997-98. The franchise record is a 14-game streak Nov. 16-Dec. 14, 1993, and theyve also won a franchise-record 10 straight on the road. Atlanta is 14-1 away from home after starting 1-4. Its just the start. Its a long season, so were not too excited, said Jeff Teague, who leads the team with 17.5 points and 7.2 assists per game. Teague has averaged 20.9 points on 51.7 percent shooting during the winning streak, scoring 22 in Wednesdays 105-91 victory at Boston. He ranks seventh among guards with 8.3 points in the paint per game. I know this: Nobody in the league can keep Teague in front of them. Nobody, Celtics coach Brad Steven told the teams official website. Al Horford and Kyle Korver didnt play after coach Mike Budenholzer gave fellow starters Paul Millsap and DeMarre Carroll the night off in Tuesdays 105-87 win at Philadelphia. I dont like it, but its coachs call and itt paid off for us, Millsap said. Marc Gasol Jersey. He might know what hes doing. The Raptors (26-12) have won twice in their last seven games but could put together a run with DeMar DeRozan back from a 21-game absence due to a torn tendon in his groin. DeRozan scored eight of his 20 points in the fourth quarter of Wednesdays 100-84 home win over the 76ers. He was 9 of 14 in 29 minutes as Toronto improved to 14-3 with him in the lineup. Its been tough sitting out this many games, just watching, DeRozan said. It felt good to get back out there. With DeRozan out, Toronto relied on Kyle Lowry, who scored 24-plus eight times in DeRozans absence compared to two such performances while playing alongside him. Lowry was 6 of 15 (40.0 percent) with 18 points Wednesday. The team went 3-7 when he shot 40.0 percent or worse with DeRozan out. The Raptors have won three straight in the series with DeRozan scoring 27 in a 126-115 road victory Nov. 26. DeRozan was 4 of 16 and had 15 points in Torontos 109-102 home win Oct. 29. He has averaged 24.2 points on 50.0 percent shooting in his last 11 meetings, going 14 of 27 from 3-point range. Lowry totaled 25 points on 6-of-23 shooting in the first two meetings. Atlanta is 74 of 158 (46.8) from beyond the arc over its last six games, while the Raptors have held their last four opponents to 27.0 percent 3-point shooting. The Hawks were 23 of 46 in the first two matchups. Toronto, which has committed 17-plus turnovers four times in its last six games, will have to take better care of the ball against the Hawks, who have forced 17-plus eight times in their last 10.
