Tennessee had made 16 3-pointers in a game five times previously, most recently against UNC Asheville on Nov. 17, 2009.They kind of packed the defense in a little bit, Turner said. We had a size advantage, so they were trying to keep us out of the lane, and shots were just falling tonight.Tennessee (4-3) won its third straight to go over .500 for the first time all season heading into Sundays game at No. 7 North Carolina.Turner, a redshirt freshman, scored 24 points and went 7 of 11 on 3-pointers.

Robert Hubbs III capped the flurry by sinking two free throws with 6:56 remaining.They just answered the call, Presbyterian coach Gregg Nibert said. We had a couple of bad turnovers, they got back-to-back 3s. The momentum was just too much for us. I have got to hand it to them. Their 3-point shooting was tremendous.THE TAKEAWAYPresbyterian: An inability to take care of the ball prevented the Blue Hose from having any shot at pulling off the upset. Presbyterian committed 22 turnovers, including 13 in the second half. JoVontae Millner, who entered the night averaging a team-high 13.4 points per game, had just four points Tuesday.They did a good job of guarding us and kind of taking us out of our offense, Nibert said. We had a tough time getting it inside, and guys were trying to go a little bit too much one-on-one. Were really not a one-on-one team.Tennessee: Turner and Shembari Phillips are helping Tennessee withstand the absence of Jordan Bone, who has missed four straight games with a stress fracture in his left foot after opening the season as the Vols starting point guard.Phillips had 14 points, seven assists and only one turnover Saturday in an 81-58 blowout of Georgia Tech.

SAN DIEGO -- The Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres meet in a four-game series at Petco Park this weekend, and the Thursday night opener features two pitchers at the opposite ends of their career.Veteran Clayton Richard, who turns 33 next Monday, will be making his sixth start in his second tour with the Padres. It will be the 202nd appearance of his major league career.Rockies rookie Jeff Hoffman, 23, will be making his fourth-ever major league start.The pitchers have one thing in common other than their identical6-foot-5 heights.Both are pitching with an eye for a job in 2017.The Padres and the Rockies are looking to the future, using the final month of the season as an audition.The San Diego rotation needs a major overhaul going into the 2017 season. Right now, only right-hander Luis Perdomo seems to have a lock on a starting spot going into spring training. Right-hander Tyson Ross would have a spot locked ... if his most recent appearance werent the season opener.Were looking at everyone on this roster with an eye on 2017, said manager Andy Green, who committed the Padres to a six-man rotation for the final month of the season until right-hander Jarred Cosart sustained both a right groin strain and a right hamstring strain on the same play while covering first base Wednesday night.Will San Diego stick with a six-man rotation? Not if Cosart is out.To have a six-man rotation, you need six starting pitchers, Green said Wednesday night while saying the severity of Cosarts injury wont be known until later in the week. Hint: Cosart will miss at least one start.Which could be good news for Richard, who is the Padres hottest starter at the moment. Since signing with San Diego on Aug. 1 as a free agent, Richard is 1-2 with a 1.48 ERA in six apppearances (four starts).dddddddddddd Adding in 25 relief outings for the Chicago Cubs earlier this year, he is 1/3 with a 3.29 ERA overall.Over his past three starts, Richard has allowed one earned run on 19 hits and five walks with 12 strikeouts in 18 innings. That is a 0.50 ERA.Im really happy to be back in San Diego, Richard said. Id love to stay and help their vision for the future.Actually, Richard might be perfect for the role. Green has said that part of his development plan for the young Padres is to have a select corps of veterans to provide guidance. A former University of Michigan quarterback who was with the Padres from 2009 to 2013, Richard is seen as a strong leader.Its been great having him around, said Christian Friedrich, another left-handed member of the current San Diego rotation.As for Hoffman, he is 0-2 with a 6.60 ERA in his first three starts for the Rockies. Thursday night could be different, though. The Padres will be the first major league team that Hoffman faces that is not in first place.Hes faced a tough schedule while getting his feet on the ground,Rockies manager Walt Weiss said of Hoffman.Before being promoted to the Rockies, Hoffman was 6-9 with a 4.02 ERA in 22 starts for Triple-A Albuquerque. Hoffman, who is two years removed from Tommy John surgery, was ranked among the top 50 prospects in the minor leagues this season.The right-hander was part of the package the Rockies received last year in the trade that sent reliever LaTroy Hawkins and shortstop Troy Tulowitzki to the Toronto Blue Jays.The Padres are 7-5 against the Rockies thus far this season with a4-2 edge at Petco Park.
