NEW YORK -- Michael Young sounded like a grizzled veteran and he made sure his teammates listened.At halftime it was just a look yourself in the mirror type of moment, he said of Pittsburghs 11-point halftime deficit that would reach 15 points. We lost the first game due to (SMU) being tougher than us down the stretch. We came in the second half and it was now or never.Now won out.Young scored a career-high 30 points and grabbed eight rebounds to lead Pittsburgh to a 78-75 victory over Marquette on Friday in the third-place game of the 2K Classic Benefiting Wounded Warrior Project.Young, a senior forward whose previous career-high was 27 points as a sophomore against Chaminade, brought the Panthers (3-1) back from that 15-point deficit and he did it almost by himself.With Marquette (2-2) leading 59-49 with 13:51 to play, the 6-foot-9 Young scored the games next 10 points, almost all on inside baskets.Back up against the wall, you just got to fight, Young said. Me being a senior, Jamel being a senior, just going into the game I told him its now or never. After the second half we cant get this game back. We cant get no more games back. Every game our senior year matters. Just to give it my all and just really be aggressive and kind of lead my team.First-year Pitt coach Kevin Stallings said of Young: He can carry us and he does.From the 59-all tie with 10:36 to play there would be four lead changes and three ties. Pitt took the lead for good on a free throw by Jamel Artis with 1:03 left and he added two more free throws with 5.6 seconds left for the final margin.It was awesome, Artis said of Youngs run. Me and him, we got to be the load every night, bring the energy offensively and defensively. To watch him go out there make his 10-0 run was awesome for us because we needed it at the time.Andrew Rowseys 3-pointer at the buzzer bounced off the rim.Artis finished with 21 points and seven rebounds for the Panthers while Chris Jones added 13 points.Rowsey, who came into the game with a total of two points on the season, had 20 for the Golden Eagles, while Duane Wilson and Sam Hauser had 11 each.The Golden Eagles closed the first half on a 14-6 run to take a 44-33 lead and then scored the first four points of the second half for the games biggest lead.. .You cant have 50-point halves scored against you and win in college basketball, Marquette coach Steve Wojciechowski said. You never have been able to and you never will be able to. We had two halves of basketball, one in each game where we gave up essentially 50 points. Give credit to the team we played but our defense has to improve.BIG PICTUREPittsburgh: The Panthers bounced back from a 76-67 loss to SMU in the opening round. ...

He was 5 for 12 from the field Friday and e was 3 of 7 from behind the arc.Rowsey was kind of the guy who was creating a lot of offense so we wanted the ball in his hands at the end of the game, Wojciechowski said. We got the ball to the rim. We got a wide open shot. We just didnt make it.UP NEXT:Pittsburgh: The Panthers head home for games with Yale and Morehead State before facing Maryland in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge.Marquette: The Warriors are home for three games against IUPUI, Houston Baptist and Western Carolina.

Wholesale Flames Jerseys .B. -- The Baie-Comeau Drakkar took over sole possession of first place atop the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League on Thursday with their sixth straight win. LOS ANGELES -- Skip Schumakers first career home run at Dodger Stadium couldnt have come at a more opportune time, especially now that hes playing for the home team. Schumaker hit a tiebreaking two-run shot off longtime NL West rival Bronson Arroyo while filling in for the ailing Carl Crawford, Hyun-Jin Ryu gave up two hits over seven innings and retired his last 13 batters, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-1 Saturday night. "I grew up in L.A. going to Dodger games, so Ive always thought about hitting a home run in Dodger Stadium -- and actually doing it is pretty incredible," Schumaker said. "Its kind of a surreal feeling. I get lucky every now and then. Every 200 at-bats or so, I run into one." Ryu (9-3) had nine strikeouts, all in a span of 13 batters. The first came against Joey Votto, who took a called third strike after Chris Heisey hit his first triple of the season with two out in the third. Cincinnatis run came on a homer by Jay Bruce in the second. The Dodgers increased their NL West lead to 1 1/2 games over Arizona. Ryu faced South Korean countryman Shin-Soo Choo for the first time in the major leagues. The Reds centre fielder walked, grounded out to first base and struck out. "Im sure Choo was on his mind," catcher A.J. Ellis said. "I mean, its a big deal. Choo is one of his best friends and one of his baseball idols. So with him facing him in America in an atmosphere like this, and also playing in front of a huge TV audience back in Korea, its pretty neat to know youre a part of that. It was really cool to see those guys match up. You could hear the crowd on every pitch and every swing." Kenley Jansen got the last three outs for his 14th save. Crawford, who singled his first three times up in the Dodgers 2-1 victory Friday night and then made a brief visit to an emergency room on Saturday to get checked on for a high temperature and fever, was held out of the lineup. Manager Don Mattingly replaced him with Schumaker, who came in with more plate appearances (53) and hits (18) against Reds starter Bronson Arroyo than anyone else on Los Angeles roster. "Its a good feeling when you have a situation like today where Carl wasnt able to play and Skip can step in and be a more than capable guy," Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez said. "Hes a great veteran who battles every at-bat. Thats what this team is built upon -- experience on the bench, experience on the field. And hopefully well take that all the way through." Schumaker came through in the fifth, driving Arroyos 1-0 pitch to centre field for his second home run of the season and a 3-1 Dodgers lead after a leadoff single by Mark Ellis. "If you look at the numbers, it says I have some hits off him. But a lot of those were bloop hits, lucky hits, and not too many were squared up," said Schumaker, who also doubled in the seventh inning and scored the Dodgers fourth run on aa two-out single by Gonzalez.dddddddddddd It was the 300th home run given up Arroyo (9-8), including a career-high and major league-worst 46 in 2011. The 14-year veteran right-hander was charged with three runs and eight hits in 5 1-3 innings, after going 4-0 with a 2.30 ERA in his previous six starts against Los Angeles. He was coming off a complete-game 11-0 victory at San Francisco on Monday. The Dodgers got a run in the first on a two-out double by Hanley Ramirez after Yasiel Puig walked, advanced on a flyout and stole third without a throw. But the Reds tied it in the second when Bruce drove Ryus 2-0 pitch into the right field pavilion for his 22nd home run. Since the start of the 2010 season, Bruce leads all left-handed batters with 42 homer against lefty pitchers -- including eight this season. "I think its helped him being around Joey Votto, and seeing how Joey hits lefties," manager Dusty Baker said. "Most guys, I think, have trouble with lefties because they dont see them (enough). I mean, its hard enough to find a right-handed batting practice pitcher that can throw strikes -- and its almost impossible to find a lefty to do it. But weve got two of them -- Mark Berry and Ronnie Ortegon. And we always travel with one, so I think that helps a lot. "Thats something that Barry Bonds always did in San Francisco," added Baker, who watched Bonds homer 125 times against lefties during the 10 seasons he managed baseballs career home run leader. "We always had a left-hander throwing to Barry in batting practice. So I took a page out of Barrys book, and Id like to give Barry credit for that." Bruce, the Reds right fielder, also threw out Puig at first base in the fifth after the overaggressive rookie made a wide turn on his single toward the line. The play immediately followed Schumakers homer. It was the hustle by catcher Devin Mesoraco that made it possible, because he ran up the line and took the throw. In Thursday nights series opener, Puig made a similar wide turn around first on a single to centre and ended up at third base after Choo threw the ball past first baseman Votto and the ball ended up in the stands for a two-base error. NOTES: Ryu is 5-1 with a 1.83 ERA in 10 home starts. The Dodgers have won each of his last six outings, including three no-decisions. ... Arroyo has given up a franchise-record 238 home runs since joining the Reds in a March 2006 trade from Boston for Wily Mo Pena. ... Reds RHP Jonathan Broxton, on the disabled list since June 15 with an elbow strain, threw 20 pitches during early batting practice. Baker was noncommittal when asked about the best-case scenario for the former Dodger closers return. ... Los Angeles pitching coach Rick Honeycutt rejoined the club after missing four games because of the death of his mother-in-law. ... Vottos consecutive game on-base streak ended at 38 after he went 0 for 3. That left Ramirez with the longest active streak in the majors at 35. ' ' '
