To his credit, hes gotten better and better and better.The 6-foot-10 junior was 5-for-7 from the field and had six offensive rebounds and one blocked shot for the Yellow Jackets, who won their second-straight game. Lammers played only 20 minutes and didnt return to the court for the final 6:39.He got after it, Alcorn coach Montez Robinson said.

I know its been a long layoff for us, 10 days, but we found a way to get a good win and kind of validated the Virginia Commonwealth win (on Dec. 7).Alcorn State (2-7) lost its fifth-straight game. The Braves were led by A.J. Mosby with 16 points, including four 3-pointers, and Reginal Johnson with 15 points and five reboundsGeorgia Tech came out and played well, Robinson said. They really got us out of what we wanted to run. They had a great plan for our guys. We tried to battle through it but just could never get over the hump.Alcorn State was able to hang around for the early part of the first half because of its 3-point success. The Braves were within 18-12 when Denzel Dulin made a 3-pointer with 11:28 left in the first half.But Georgia Tech responded with a 12-2 run that included back-to-back dunks from Jackson and Lammers, as well as a three-point play from Okogie. The run gave the Yellow Jackets a 30-14 lead with 6:00 left in the half.Georgia Tech led 39-22 at the half. Alcorn stayed close because of its 3-point success, hitting 6 of 7, and because it scored 11 points off seven Georgia Tech turnovers.Defensively they hit those 3s in the first half but we did force them into 21 turnovers, Pastner said.

JOLIET, Ill. -- ??? Jimmie Johnson had a strong car. He was in position for a fast start to the NASCAR Sprint Cup playoffs.Then he committed another costly mistake.Johnson led Sundays playoff opener four times for a race-high 118 laps and was running second before he was handed a pass-through penalty for speeding on his way off pit road. The infraction on Lap 234 of 270 sent Johnson tumbling down the leaderboard, leading to a 12th-place finish.Johnsons car also failed a post-race inspection, likely costing him some valuable points for the Chase standings.Johnson, who turned 41 on Saturday, is going for his seventh series title, which would tie the record for NASCARs top circuit held by Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt. He was encouraged by the speed of his Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet during the 400-mile race at Chicagoland Speedway, but the miscue on pit road left him shaking his head.This week we had it. This week we had it for sure, Johnson said. Just the mistake there at the end on that last segment on pit road.Johnson was coming off a rough night at Richmond, when he had a tire go down, hit the wall and finished 11th. He has just two wins this year for his smallest total since he also won twice during the 2011 season.But Johnson, who has never won at Chhicagoland and hasnt made it out of the second round in the two years of the Chases elimination format, had the fastest car in Fridays practice at the 1.dddddddddddd-mile asphalt oval. He started eighth after qualifying was rained out and passed Brad Keselowski to grab the lead for the first time on Lap 53.Johnson controlled most of the middle of the race before Chase Elliott took over the top spot. But Johnson appeared to be in good shape before the penalty on pit road, drawing a no way! from the driver on his radio when he was told of the punishment.I mean I was completely shocked that I was fast, because Im way under, just being cautious, he said after the race. Still got dinged leaving that last segment. I mean I couldnt believe it. Just mind-boggling.Johnson was eighth in the playoff standings after Chicagoland, pending NASCARs announcement of the exact penalty for failing the inspection. The field for the 10-race Chase is cut from 16 to 12 in two weeks.Its not as bad as I expected, Johnson said when asked about the Chase standings. But just got to stop screwing up.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap ' ' '
