Nike Shox Donna .Justin Gray added 17 points and six rebounds for Texas Tech. Aaron Ross finished with 16 points, including making all 10 of his free throws.As a competitor, of course I dont want to see us get out to that kind of a start, Beard said. But, I look forward to adversity.The Red Raiders have started 3-0 for the first time since 2012-13 and have won 22 consecutive home nonconference games.Asante Gist led Eastern Kentucky with 21 points and three assists. Jayle Babb-Harrison had 14 points and Nick Mayo and Zach Charles scored 13 points apiece.Early in the first half, the Colonels (1-3) maintained leads of 19-9 and 27-12 before being held scoreless for a 4:56 stretch.I was proud of the way we got out of the gates quickly, especially after a long day of travel, Eastern Kentucky coach Dan McHale said. We let (Texas Tech) start carving us up defensively. And they got easy looks. And then the floodgates opened a little bit. We were still in control for most of the first half.During that cold spell, Texas Tech (3-0) tied the game and finished the first half with a 46-41 lead.With the game tied 57-57 early in the second half, Texas Tech took a 10-point lead when Eastern Kentucky had a scoring drought that lasted roughly five minutes.Eastern Kentucky, which made 12 3-pointers, shot 36.8 percent from the floor.After 24 points off turnovers in its last game against North Texas, the Red Raiders scored 19 points off turnovers.Relentless pursuit, Gray said. Not quitting. Not giving up. And just playing extra hard on the defensive end. Trying to push as much as we can in transition once we get that stop. And just making smart choices on offense.BIG PICTUREEastern Kentucky: Two of Eastern Kentuckys standout underclassmen have continued to perform well. Gist, a freshman, started 4 for 5 from 3-point range. Mayo, the Ohio Valley Conference Freshman of the Year last season, had nine second-half points.I think (Mayo) is as good as advertised, Beard said. I know what a pro looks like when I see it. Hell be a guy that plays after college. To me, hes a guy that can start on most BCS teams.Texas Tech: The Red Raiders have been without standout forward Norense Odiase for the third straight game. In a press conference this week, Beard said the timetable for Odiases return is potentially four to five weeks. Graduate transfer Anthony Livingston (11 points, six rebounds) has started and provided quality frontcourt minutes.UP NEXTEastern Kentucky: Visits Idaho State Tuesday afternoon.

Thats all it took. Cueto responded to the pep talk by striking out six of his last seven batters, then Jay Bruce helped make him a winner by hitting a tiebreaking home run that carried the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-3 victory over the New York Mets on Monday night. "I asked myself, What was going on, what happened?" Cueto said through a translator. "I told myself I have to start pitching the way I am. Then after that, I said, That is me." Brandon Phillips had a two-run single for his first career hit off Shaun Marcum in 13 at-bats. Phillips also made two sparkling plays in the field to help the Reds bounce back from a stunning 3-2 loss to the Phillies in which closer Aroldis Chapman gave up two home runs. Chapman, the Reds fifth reliever, struck out two -- one on a 99 mph fastball -- in a perfect ninth for his ninth save. He had blown his two previous save chances. "Got to get back on the horse, right away," manager Dusty Baker said. "Otherwise it festers and grows." Cueto (2-0) started for the first time since leaving his outing April 13 in the fifth inning with a strained left upper-back muscle. Making his fourth start of the season, the Reds ace gave up three hits and three runs with eight strikeouts in five innings. But he walked four, including one in the third, when Marlon Byrd touched him for a three-run homer. "I knew you just couldnt keep getting in trouble like that, walking guys without centring one, but thats just what happened," Baker said. "But he came back and pitched well." After the homer, Cueto struck out four in a row with a fastball that reached the mid-90s. His counterpart, Marcum (0-5), rarely reached 86 mph in pitching at least six innings for the second straight start after failing to finish five in any of his first three starts with the Mets. Still, he remains winless in his first season in New York. Slumping Mets first baseman Ike Davis slid deeper into his monthlong funk, going 0 for 3 and being called for interference in the field when he was clipped at first by Joey Votto, who was making a turn toward second base in the Reds three-run first inning. Davis was lifted in a double switch after striking out in the sixth, his second strikeout of the night. He has two hits in his last 36 at-bats, and only one RBI in May. Marcum appeared headed for another early exit after a 20-minute top of the first. He walked Shin-Soo Choo leading off. After an out, Votto, the NL player of the week, hit a smash that ricocheted off first base and into right field. As he made his turn at first, Votto nudged Davis, who waas nonchalantly standing near the bag, watching the play. Nike Shox R4 Uomo. Votto was tagged out at second but Davis was charged with an error for interference and Votto was awarded second. "I was looking for the ball and I took a couple of steps," Davis said. "Thats why I was there longer than I shouldve been." Phillips followed with a two-run single and Bruce doubled in a run, extending his hitting streak to 11. Marcum struck out Todd Frazier and Xavier Paul, and walked off to mock cheers. "Weve been through this now for what, five starts? I get hit, its location. I made four or five mistakes today and they all got hit," Marcum said. "Got to limit the mistakes." The right-hander did not give up another hit until Paul singled with two outs in the fourth. Bruce broke the tie with a scorching line drive into the right-field seats leading off the sixth. "Woo, that was a missile," Baker said. Mets manager Terry Collins took a chance on putting strikeout-prone Rick Ankiel in the second spot in the order because he was 7 for 16 against Cueto, and Ankiel led off the third with a single. David Wright walked and, after Lucas Duda struck out, Byrd sent a drive to left field for his fourth homer this year. Byrd came in 6 for 11 against Cueto. The Mets loaded the bases in the first on two walks and a single by Duda, bringing up Davis. The scoreboard operator urged fans to cheer on Davis, and many of the 23,038 in attendance made some noise. Davis hit a sharp grounder toward second, but Phillips dived to his right to stop it and then threw out Davis. "I hit one ball hard -- at the wrong guy, a Gold Glover," Davis said. Phillips then showed why hes a three-time Gold Glove winner in the fifth, making a long run into centre field for a basket catch with his back to the plate. It was a very difficult play, but he made it look easy. "I practice that," Phillips said. Collins and reliever LaTroy Hawkins were ejected by plate umpire Tom Hallion after the top of the seventh for disputing a call that Phillips was hit by a pitch. Collins and Hawkins insisted the ball hit the knob of the bat and not Phillips hand. NOTES: The Mets signed RHP David Aardsma to a minor league contract.
