Brooklyn, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Malcolm Brogdon registered 20 points to help No. 8 Virginia to a 64-56 win over La Salle in the Barclays Center Classic. Anthony Gill scored 16 points with 10 rebounds for the Cavaliers (6-0), who will face Rutgers in the final on Saturday. Jordan Price went for 20 points for the Explorers (4-1). La Salle will play Vanderbilt in the consolation game. Virginia used its patented defense to methodically take an 18-point lead at halftime, but the Explorers locked down in the second half and worked their way back. Price made it a game in the latter stages of the second when he scored 10 straight points to cut the deficit to 49-41. However, Brogdon and Darion Atkins each converted a basket over Virginias next two possessions, pushing the lead back to double digits. Cleon Roberts split a pair of free throws with over two minutes remaining to trim the deficit to seven, then La Salle elected to foul early. It seemed to work because Gill and Brogdon each split a pair at the line and Jerrell Wright answered with a layup and two free throws, respectively, to make it a 58-53 game. Price forced a turnover at the other end, was fouled, but made just 1-of-2 at the line. The Cavs then scored six straight points from there to put the game away. If the first half was any indication, it looked as if Virginia was going to have no problem. Wright, La Salles leading rebounder and second-leading scorer entering the game, recorded two quick fouls just over three minutes into the game and had to take a seat. The Cavs forced four turnovers on La Salles first five possessions and slowly built an 8-0 advantage before Khalid Lewis layup got the Explorers on the board with 13:24 left in the opening half. Lewis missed the ensuing free throw after Marial Shayoks foul on the drive, then London Perrantes answered at the other end with a 3-pointer. Virginia led 25-10 with over six minutes to play following Justin Andersons steal and dunk. Wrights half was ended when he picked up a third foul moments later and the Cavs closed the half on an 8-2 run for a 37-19 lead. Game Notes Wright finished with six points and two rebounds ... Virginia shot 22-for-46 (47.8 percent) from the floor, while La Salle went 18-for-45 (40 percent) ... The Cavs had a 35-23 edge on the glass.

Hes aiming for a third consecutive win at the Yeongam circuit and, most importantly, a fourth consecutive F1 championship.TORONTO - There isnt much - in fact there may not be anything - that hasnt already been written or said about Mariano Rivera. About the man: a person of faith, humble, charitable and always willing to help others. About the pitch: the cut fastball which has baffled hitters, even though they know its coming, and broken more bats than anyone cares to count. About the player: Major League Baseballs all-time saves leader with 652, whos accomplished the feat with one team in an era of rampant player movement. The legendary Yankees closer is into the final weeks of his Hall of Fame career. Hes making his last stop in Toronto as a professional baseball player and, like anything else Rivera says, you believe him when he expresses his appreciation of visiting the city so many times over the years. “Its a great city to play in,” said Rivera. “We have had here tremendous games, tough games, big games but at the same time theyve all been wonderful. Its great to play here and play against the Toronto Blue Jays for all these years.” Rivera and his wife, Clara, have run The Mariano Rivera Foundation since its founding in July, 1998. The charity provides scholarships to further the educational needs of underprivileged students and sponsors churches and youth centres. It reaches across the United States and as far south as Riveras native Panama. “I always try to do it,” said Rivera. “Not only Panama but wherever we need to help and that is something that Im proud of. Not that I want to be recognized for that, but I do it because I was helped once and I always wanted to help others. That makes me feel good - knowing that I can touch one life and we can make that life better.” During his season-long farewell tour, Rivera has met with employees from each opposing ballclub. Twenty long-time Blue Jays employees had an opportunity to spend an hour with Rivera during New Yorks previous visit in late August. Rivera shook hands, answered questions and posed for photos. It was Riveras chance to thank the people who work hard behind the scenes. “I like how people appreciate the game and those are the ones you dont even see,” he said. “Theyre the ones you dont even know about, but at the same time they do something for the game, appreciate the game and appreciate what you do.” Rivera is also known to be giving of his time to his fellow ballplayers. Earlier this season, at Yankee Stadium, he held court with the Blue Jays large contingent of Spanish-speaking players. At the All-Star Game, in New York City, but hosted by the Mets, Jays relievers Steve Delabar and Brett Cecil approached him for baseball-related conversation. Sergio Santos did the same thing, two years ago, when Santos was with the White Sox. “I had a 30-minute conversation with him out in the outfield and he was so awesome and open to letting me ask him any question I had,” said Santoss.dddddddddddd “I had just become a closer so I had a bunch of questions and he sat there and spoke with me and answered every question I had. Hes just an amazing person and an amazing player.” Santos picked Riveras brain on thought process - How should he approach hitters on days he knows he doesnt have his best stuff? What about when hes feeling too good? If a runner gets aboard, a noted base stealer, how best do you divide your attention? “Just how adamant he was about going from pitch to pitch, not letting your mind wander to the next hitter or to what the situation is or letting any of that happen,” said Santos. “Just going, really simplifying it to the max, where its pitch by pitch. You get your pitch and then you try as best as you can to execute that pitch and once that pitch is over, whether it was executed or not, you forget it, its done with and you try to go on to the next pitch.” The cut fastball, Riveras go-to pitch, remains a mystery even to the pitcher himself. In the absence of a human to credit or, more likely because Rivera truly believes it, he looks skyward when asked to explain the success hes had against hitters who dont have to consider pitch selection. “Thats the Lord. Thats God, because no one taught it to me,” said Rivera. “I cant say to you that my pitching coach taught me that. I cannot say that. It happened for a reason and thats what I attribute it to, to the Lord.” “You know, still to this day, no hitters figured it out,” said Blue Jays shortstop Jose Reyes. “You know its only one pitch. Hes going to go with the hard cutter. Youre looking for the cutter and still youre not able to put a good swing on that baseball. Its unbelievable what hes been able to do.” “I mean, hes a little bit different now,” added Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. “Hes working both sides of the plate now. You know, really, in his prime it would be in to lefties and away to right-handers. It was that overpowering cutter. You knew it was coming, you could see it. You just cant do anything with it. As far as a left-hander, it starts in the middle of the plate and it keeps chasing you. You think you can get out in front of it and maybe catch it out front. You cant. With the right-handers, you see it there, it disappears and basically youre lucky if you get it off the end of the bat and it usually leads to a broken bat.” Rivera has thrived in New York. Like Derek Jeter, his long time teammate and fellow Yankees legend, his behaviour has been above reproach. He has created a Yankee Stadium tradition in which Metallicas metal anthem “Enter Sandman” is followed, three outs later, by Frank Sinatras classic “New York, New York.” Trusting Sinatras words, Riveras made it in New York, which means he could make it anywhere. With 652 saves, and likely more to come, hes backed up a legends words with his own legendary actions.
