NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Slow starts doomed Bucknell to two double-digit losses earlier in the season.The Bison started slow again Monday night against Vanderbilt, but this recovered for an upset win.Zach Thomas scored 17 points and Stephen Brown and Nana Foulland both added 15 to lead Bucknell in a 75-72 upset of Vanderbilt in the campus portion of the Las Vegas Invitational.Bucknells last win over a Southeastern Conference team was a 59-55 victory over Arkansas in the 2006 NCAA Tournament.We played at Wake Forest and we got blown out there, and then we played at Butler and we got blown out, Thomas said. We got off to a bad start here, but we battled back and showed our toughness tonight and that was a big win for us.Things looked bad for the Bison (3-2) when the Commodores (2-2) hit eight of their first nine shots from the floor, including their first five, to take an early nine-point lead.But a 16-4 run reversed the momentum and Bucknell led 40-38 at halftime.Vanderbilts Matthew Fisher-Davis scored 23 points, including a 3-pointer that tied the game at 65-all with 3:38 left.He had a chance to send the game into overtime, but made only 2 of 3 foul shots with 5.2 seconds left, narrowing Bucknells lead to 73-72.I was just praying hed miss one and he did, and that helped us out, Thomas said.Fisher-Davis finished 4 of 7 from 3-point range.Kimball Mackenzie added two foul shots for Bucknell with 4.1 seconds left. Foulland grabbed 12 rebounds.Hopefully, it will show our guys what theyre capable of, understanding that were not nearly where we need to be to get to where we want to go, but its all there in front of us, Bison coach Nathan Davis said.Luke Kornet scored 19 points and Riley LaChance had 10 points and six assists for Vanderbilt.The lead changed hands seven times early in the second half before an 8-0 spurt by Bucknell gave the Bison a 63-56 lead with 10:48 left and Vanderbilt coach Bryce Drew called a time out.Credit Bucknell, Drew said. They made shots tonight, they played with a lot of passion coming off a game they didnt play as well. They definitely showed a lot of urgency, a lot of energy tonight.With the win, the Bison improved to 4-9 against SEC teams.They had some spurts where we had a lot of trouble scoring the ball, Kornet said. They were disciplined offensively and defensively. They just did a good job of working to get good shots and then they hit them when they got them.BIG PICTUREBucknell: The Bison suffered two double-digit losses earlier in the season, but showed their resiliency against Vanderbilt.Vanderbilt: The Commodores almost sent the game into overtime, but Fisher-Davis couldnt get a crucial foul shot to drop late despite playing an impressive game overall.BENCH SUPPORTA lot of Bucknell bench players contributed to the win. Avi Toomer, the freshman, came in and gave us an edge when we werent getting stops and we needed it, Davis said. I thought Nate Sestina did the same thing. D.J. MacLeay and Mackenzie also played strong defensively.CONFIDENCE BUILDERGetting a win at Vanderbilt, where the Commodores play so well, will probably help Bucknell. Last year we played a lot of teams really close and didnt get over the hump, Davis said. Hopefully, today they got over the hump and they understand how hard it is and how much effort youve got to give.UP NEXTBucknell plays Norfolk State at the Las Vegas Invitational on Thursday before meeting Sacred Heart or Northern Colorado the next day.Vanderbilt faces Butler at the Las Vegas Invitational on Thursday before playing No. 8 Arizona or Santa Clara on Friday.Tom Brady Jersey New England Patriots .

(Of course, theyve also played a grand total of one playoff game since 2012, so this ranking could be even worse.) This offseason, New York finds itself in a transition period, with Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira joining the likes of Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera on the sideline and making way for the next generation of Yankees, led by catcher Gary Sanchez.Whats goodSure, the Yankees have just one playoff appearance since 2012, but they still have 52 in their history. It will take a lot more than four bad years to drop the Yankees too far in title track, in which they are currently tied for 19th. Postseason appearance No. 53 might come sooner than expected too. By trading veterans Andrew Miller, Aroldis Chapman, Carlos Beltran and Ivan Nova at the July deadline, GM Brian Cashman managed to transform his teams farm system into one of baseballs best. The newly loaded system, combined with the teams always loaded wallet, should allow the Yankees to be buyers with both trades and free agents. If all goes right, New Yorks Baby BBombers will combine with a few free-agent mercenaries to form another dynasty.ddddddddddddhats badThe Yankees arent winning championships anymore, but they are charging championship prices. The teams bang for its buck is 119th, which makes it harder for some fans to justify making the trek to the seven-year-old new Yankee Stadium ( take heart, Yanks fans: The Red Sox are 122nd in that category). At $51.55 per seat, Yanks tickets are the second-most expensive in baseball and $20 more than league average. That, plus another playoff-less season, helps explain why the Yanks 2016 attendance was their worst in 16 years.Whats newOver the past three seasons, the Yankees have lost established stars Jeter, A-Rod and Rivera to retirement. Although Sanchez, Aaron Judge and the Yanks other youngsters have plenty of promise, it will take time before they fill those very large shoes, and in the meantime, New York fell 16 spots in players. Joe Girardi is also perhaps wearing thin on fans patience, as he dropped 29 spots in coaching this year after missing out on the playoffs for a third time in four years. Just remember, New Yorkers: He has also gotten you a World Series, two ALCS appearances and another division series in his tenure. Most teams would manage to forgive a temporary lapse.Next: Atlanta Braves?| Full rankings ' ' '
