LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Andrew Harrisons three-point play broke a 57-all tie before twin brother Aaron followed with a 3-pointer with 1:20 remaining, helping No. 3 Kentucky escape stubborn Cleveland State 68-61 on Monday night. Trailing 54-44 with 7:41 remaining and needing a breakthrough against the Vikings, the brothers helped the Wildcats close with a 24-7 run including a pair of Aaron Harrison lobs inside to Willie Cauley-Stein for dunks along with a three-point play with 3:55 left to tie it at 54. After Bryn Forbes 3-pointer provided a 57-56 lead, Cauley-Stein made one of two free throws before Andrew Harrison followed with his drive and free throw. Aaron Harrison added a 3-point for a six-point lead. Andrew Harrison scored 12 as the brothers combined for 23. Julius Randle led Kentucky (5-1) with 15 points and 15 rebounds on a night the Wildcats shot just 36 per cent. Forbes 22 points led the Vikings (3-3). Cauley-Stein finished with 11 points for Kentucky, which shot just 19 of 53 from the field. Trey Lewis added 15 points and Sebastian Douglas 13 for Cleveland State, which started both halves shooting well but wilted down the stretch and was outrebounded 42-35. Kentuckys strong finish seemed unlikely late in the game as it struggled to make headway against a Vikings team that led by as many as 11 and seemed to answer every Wildcats charge with a basket that silenced the crowd. Then came the Wildcats final flourish that ended a tense game featuring five ties and six lead changes, prompting 21,067 to give the Vikings a standing ovation after the final buzzer. Kentucky was playing for the first time since last Tuesdays 29-point rout of UT Arlington, but there wasnt much down time as coach John Calipari used the break to teach his talented youngsters the finer points of defence. Besides teaching the zone, his main point was getting the Wildcats to play through the entire defensive possession instead of standing around. Whatever Kentucky learned during a weekend of instruction seemed to be initially forgotten as the Wildcats all-freshmen starting line was outhustled by the Vikings, who beat them for a couple of easy baskets inside. Cleveland State leading scorer Bryn Forbes them burned them for a wide-open 3-pointer from the top of the arc because of a failed switch. The Vikings had several of those moments in making five of their first six from the field and 6 of 10 en route to a 19-12 lead that created a nervous murmur in the Rupp Arena crowd. Kentucky battled back with a 15-5 run for a 27-24 lead but Cleveland State scored the final seven points of the half thanks to Forbes three free throws after being fouled by Dominique Hawkins. That gave him and Sebastian Douglas 10 points each at the break for the Vikings, who shot just 11 of 32 (34 per cent) but outscored Kentucky 12-8 on second-chance points and matched the Wildcats in the paint (14-14). Kentucky meanwhile missed all six attempts from long range and were 7 of 26 overall (27 per cent) in the first half, a struggled that continued with a 2-of-7 start to the second half. Cleveland State meanwhile began the half strongly like the first to build its biggest lead at 44-33 with 14:11 and forcing Calipari to call timeout. The Wildcats responded to get within 47-44 with 9:21 left on two Randle free throws but the Vikings kept going at Kentucky as Trey Lewis banked a shot over two defenders while Douglas sank a 3-pointer for an eight-point lead at 52-44. Kentucky played without reserve forward Jon Hood, who sustained a head injury in Saturdays practice and is being evaluated on a daily basis. cheap ray ban .

VANCOUVER -- Nigel Reo-Coker wanted to leave a lasting impression -- and he did. The former English Premier League star came off the bench to help the Vancouver Whitecaps post a 1-0 victory over Toronto FC on Saturday in the 2013 MLS season opener for both teams. Coker helped ignite a Vancouver offence that dominated the second half after an opening 45 minutes that featured few scoring chances. "I felt great," said Reo-Coker. "All I did was be myself, and thats why (coach Martin Rennie) brought me in." Gershon Koffies goal in the 59th minute enabled the Caps to win their season opener for their third year in a row. He scored following some beautiful passing shortly after Vancouver took control of the game. Reo-Coker, 28, joined the Whitecaps in February after Vancouver obtained his MLS rights in a trade from Portland. Most players tend to move to MLS from the EPL when they are older, but Reo-Coker has contradicted the norm. He said in his first conference call with reporters after joining the Whitecaps that he planned to make a lasting impression. But he had to wait 45 minutes as coach Martin Rennie elected start him on the bench. "(Rennie) told me he wasnt going to start me, and I should be ready to come on play a part in the game today," said Reo-Coker. "Today, I was mentally prepared already for that." The Whitecaps won their first-ever MLS game against Toronto in 2011 and beat Montreal in last years season opener en route to becoming the first Canadian team to qualify for the league playoffs. "Its very good to get our first win," said Whitecaps coach Martin Rennie. "First game of the season is always a little bit of a nervy affair." "In the second half, we changed the system, we changed the way that we played, and I thought we dominated the second half." The loss spoiled the debut of new TFC coach Ryan Nelsen, a recently retired English Premier League star and New Zealand international, who has undertaken several lineup changes in a bid to improve Torontos 10th place Eastern Conference finish in 2012. The rebuilding Reds, who had many new faces in their lineup, demonstrated they still have much cohesion to develop as they held the Whitecaps to few chances in the first half but surrendered numerous scoring chances in the second. "The second half, we probably just didnt withstand the 15 minutes that Vancouver had and they got their goal," said Nelsen. "It was really disappointing, because it was a routine long ball and we didnt pick up the second ball, and then it resulted in a goal. And after that, we were probably chasing the game." Despite the close score, Vancouver had little trouble keeping the ball in the Toronto half of the pitch for most of the final 45 minutes. Joe Cannon, 38, picked up the shutout as he started in goal for Vancouver after he was displaced as the clubs No. 1 during the 2012 stretch drive and playoffs. Many wondered whether Cannon would be welcomed back, but he hired a personal trainer in the off-season and earned the first start ahead of Brad Knighton, who had taken over his job late last season.dddddddddddd "I was just really grateful tonight for the opportunity to play," said Cannon. "I dont know how many times Ill have left in my career to play in such an incredible atmosphere. So this year, Im trying not to worry so much about the little things and just focus on enjoying the moment." Cannon said he did not have too much to do, and the Reds got tired toward the end of the game. "I thought we made it difficult for them, especially when (Reo-Coker) came in and kept our possession and really helped us out," said Cannon. "I thought the midfield was a lot more fluid." After starting their first two MLS seasons with considerable uncertainty, the Whitecaps hoped to take advantage of their stable lineup. But Vancouver lost captain Jay DeMerit to an injury early in the match. DeMerit landed awkwardly after making a header in the sixth minute and left the pitch on the shoulders of a couple of trainers as he was unable to put weight on his left leg. A Whitecaps spokesman said DeMerit suffered a left calf strain. The 33-year-old Green Bay Wis., native has been bothered by Achilles tendonitis in recent weeks, and his status for the game was uncertain until late in the week. DeMerit was replaced at centre back by newcomer Brad Rusin, who was acquired in January on a transfer from HB Koge of the Danish First Division. Rusin, a 26-year-old Crown Point, Ind., native, made his MLS debut after toiling a year and a half in Denmark. He previously played for Whitecaps coach Rennie with the second-tier Carolina RailHawks. Rusin was put to the test in the 40th minute as Robert Earnshaw, a former English Premier League star, who made his MLS debut, made a run down the right flank into the Vancouver box. The new Whitecaps defender slid to make a nice tackle, getting his leg on the ball and avoiding a foul that would have led to a Toronto penalty-kick. In the second half, Rusin just missed connecting on a rebound after Toronto goalkeeper Joe Bendik dove to get his hand on a curving Daigo Kobayashi free kick. From there, the Whitecaps had several chances but could not score. Koffie finally capitalized following some brilliant passing inside and outside the Toronto area. First Young-Pyo Lee and Kenny Miller worked a give-and-go. Then, after getting the ball back, Lee rolled the ball to Kobayashi. Standing just inside the top of the 18, Kobayashi quickly tapped the ball back to Koffie and he drilled it past diving TFC keeper Bendik.
