EAST LANSING, Mich. -- The horn went off too soon, and Michigan State hung on.Eron Harris had a season-high 31 points and the 13th-ranked Spartans held off Florida Gulf Coast 78-77 on Sunday night when a timekeeping error led to a disputed finish.With 1.6 seconds remaining, Florida Gulf Coasts Christian Terrell threw a long inbounds pass from underneath his own basket. But the clock incorrectly started when the pass was thrown, rather than when Antravious Simmons caught the ball by the foul line at the other end of the court.So as Simmons turned to try a game-winning shot, the buzzer sounded -- much too early. Simmons missed his attempt, but FGCU players looked confused and coach Joe Dooley sought an explanation.Officials went to a video review as players and fans waited to find out if the game was indeed over.Since a timing error occurred, we are able to utilize the replay monitor, referee Bo Boroski told a pool reporter. Using a stopwatch, it was determined the ball was caught and released in 1.3 seconds, meaning if the shot would have gone in, it would have counted. After the miss there was no time remaining in the game, therefore ending the game. By rule the possession cannot be replayed.And that was that.After the game, Dooley said he understood the ruling.Harris made all six of his 3-pointers and Miles Bridges added 13 points for the Spartans (2-2), who shot a season-best 51 percent from the floor. They hit 52.9 percent of their attempts from beyond the 3-point line, but struggled at the free throw line (57.6 percent).Its hard to be honest and mad and happy at the same time, Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. We got to the free throw line 33 times. Twenty-one assists on 25 baskets was very, very good. We improved in some areas, but I thought we got outplayed. The biggest thing this program has stood for has been toughness, but I told our players they were the tougher team.Florida Gulf Coast (1-3) got 18 points apiece from Brandon Goodwin and Simmons, who added 12 rebounds. RaySean Scott Jr. added 14 off the bench.I thought it was a great college game. Great atmosphere. Im proud of the way our guys competed, Dooley said. Obviously disappointed with the ending, but we put ourselves in some spots that we shouldnt have. But thats what happens when you play a really good team, and Michigan States a really good team.The Eagles shot 46 percent overall and 47.1 percent from the foul line. They outrebounded Michigan State 41-29.They were tougher than I thought they were going to be, Harris said of Florida Gulf Coast. They werent trash-talkers or anything. They got out there and played hard.It was the second meeting between the schools. Michigan State won 97-58 in East Lansing on Nov. 13, 2009.BIG PICTUREFlorida Gulf Coast: The Eagles dropped to 1-8 against ranked opponents. The schools only win came during its improbable run in the 2013 NCAA tournament, when it beat No. 8 Georgetown in the second round.Michigan State: The Spartans kept their November home winning streak alive, but barely. They havent lost at home since David Robinson led Navy past Michigan State 91-90 in overtime on Nov. 29, 1986.POLL IMPLICATIONSIf it were up to Izzo, there wouldnt be any for his team. This will be one of the four or five best teams we play in the preseason, Izzo said. That team will play in the NCAA (Tournament). No question about it.BY THE NUMBERSGoodwin has been Florida Gulf Coasts leading scorer in all four games this season, while Simmons recorded his first double-double of the season. The Eagles outscored Michigan State in the paint (40-22) and on second-chance points (24-9).UP NEXTFlorida Gulf Coast is home Wednesday against Binghamton, the start of a seven-game stretch that includes six at home.Michigan State, which has played in Hawaii and New York this month, travels to the Bahamas for the final three games of the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament beginning Wednesday, when the Spartans take on St. Johns. They finish the month with a Nov. 29 game at Duke. Hydro Flask 16 Oz Coffee .

LOS ANGELES -- Two Pacific Division teams struggling to find consistency will meet at Staples Center on Saturday when the Calgary Flames visit the Los Angeles Kings. Both posted similar wins on Thursday -- a 3-2 victory over a Stanley Cup finalist that snapped a losing streak.The Flames road win over the San Jose Sharks is a hopeful sign that their poor defensive play is beginning to turn a corner. Through 12 games, Calgary (5-6-1) has surrendered 42 goals, ranking next-to-last in the league in goals against.The defensive play was the primary reason the Flames missed the 2016 post season and, with the acquisition of goaltenders Brian Elliott and Chad Johnson, it was thought that the tandem would provide stability in net to anchor the defense. That hope has yet to become a reality, though Johnsons 26 save performance against San Jose broke a two-game losing streak and improved the teams road record to 3-2-1.The defensive effort against the Sharks marked a vast improvement over what has been the norm on most nights.From my standpoint, Im not saying it was an easy game but we limited their Grade A scoring chances and took away the middle of the ice, said Johnson.Coach Glen Gulutzan preached patience for his new system and as the season lengthens, he feels the performance at the defensive end of the ice will continue to improve.Were starting to put ourselves in our position to get two points every night, said Gulutzan. Weve changed a lot of things in our style of play but our players are starting to believe.Los Angeles (5-6-0) has been a tough opponent for the Flames, sweeping last seasons four game season series, and Calgarys last victory at Staples Center came on January 19, 2015.The Kings slow start is primarily due to issues at the opposite end of the ice. Their 3-2 overtime victoory over the Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins snapped a three-game losing streak in which they failed to score a goal.ddddddddddddTrevor Lewis second-period goal broke a goalless stretch of 205:25 in losses to St. Louis, Chicago and Anaheim.Los Angeles scored 23 goals in 11 games, placing them 11th in offense in the Western Conference. The Kings have not won a game in regulation time and have not scored more than three goals through regulation in any contest. Only left winger Tanner Pearson scored more than two goals, and its surprising to see defenseman Alec Martinez as its leading scorer (two goals, seven assists, nine points) with a lineup that includes Anze Kopitar, Tyler Toffoli and Drew Doughty.Thought of as a Stanley Cup contender, overall team health raises questions about the quality of depth needed to qualify for the post-season in the highly competitive Western Conference. Kings coach Darryl Sutter must continue to manage around significant injuries for the next few weeks after stating that wingers Marian Gaborik, Andy Andreoff and defenseman Brayden McNabb are at least a month away from returning to action while Jonathan Quick is month-to-month with a groin injury.The victory over the Penguins could re-instill confidence throughout the experienced Los Angeles roster after the goalless streak reached a level not seen since the 1968-69 season.We needed to end that skid. I thought that was a good game for us against a really good team coming here, said defenseman Matt Greene. We needed the points to keep pace in this division. Its a big win. Obviously, you want to get this in regulation, but we will take the points however we get them.
