HONOLULU -- This time last year Charlie Moore was in the midst of his senior season of high school. Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys .What a difference a year makes.Moore, a freshman point guard, scored 15 points to lead four players in double figures to help California pull away from Princeton 62-51 in the Pearl Harbor Invitational Tuesday.Charlie stepped up. He stepped up and played well, California coach Cuonzo Martin said. He made plays, he made shots, he got to the rim.Moore shot 6 of 9 from the field and scored 10 points after halftime to help the Golden Bears (7-1) recover from a lackluster first half in which they shot 25 percent (8 of 32) from the field.Coach told me to assert myself a little bit more on the offensive end in the second half and make sure we execute the offense. Thats what we were struggling with in the first half, Moore said.California made up for it by shooting 66.7 percent after halftime.We got off to a slow start to the game, but I thought our guys did a great job making adjustments, Martin said.Jabari Bird scored 11 of his 13 points after halftime and Sam Singer and Grant Mullins added 11 points apiece for the Golden Bears.Princeton took a 46-44 lead following Henry Carusos 3-pointer from the left corner with 7:45 left to play, but California answered with an 11-1 run that was capped by a backdoor reverse layup by Bird off an assist from Moore.I thought they made some really big plays down the stretch -- about three or four big plays and we really struggled in that little window there and that was the difference in the game, Princeton coach Mitch Henderson said.Devin Cannady scored 16 points and Spencer Weisz added 10 for the Tigers (2-4).Princeton closed out the first half on a 4-0 run to take a 20-18 lead into halftime.There were 12 ties and 15 lead changes in the game.California dominated Princeton in both points in the paint (34-12) and bench scoring (24-7).BIG PICTURECalifornia: The Golden Bears were a woeful 10 of 23 from the free-throw line. They made just 1 of 3 from the charity stripe in the first half and only 9 of 20 in the second. They entered the game averaging 67.5 percent for the season.Princeton: The Tigers came into the contest averaging 9.6 3-pointers made per game, but made just 1 of 11 attempts from behind the arc in the first half and finished 6 of 26 for the game.STAR WATCHCalifornia super sophomore Ivan Rabb missed his first five shots from the field and didnt score his first points until the 18:57 mark of the second half. Rabb, a 6-foot-11, 220-pound forward, was averaging 19.8 points per game. He finished with a season-low six points, but had a game-high 11 rebounds.SALUTE THE TROOPSThis is second consecutive year the Pearl Harbor Invitational is being held at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam and at historic Bloch Arena, which withstood the attacks of Dec. 7, 1941. Wednesday marks the 75th anniversary of that day.Uniformed service personnel from all four branches of the military were in attendance at the 2,500-seat, open air arena for Tuesdays doubleheader, which featured Seton Hall and Hawaii in the nightcap.To see service men and women in the stands today in uniform and the colors come on the floor means a lot, Henderson said. Its a little bit of a different kind of trip, but in a really special way. We love it. Were disappointed with the loss, but this was really meaningful for us.UP NEXTCalifornia will look to extend its win streak to six games when it takes on Seton Hall Wednesday.Princeton will play Wednesday against Hawaii, the first time the two schools have met. Wholesale Jerseys China . -- Former San Diego Chargers safety Paul Oliver was found dead at his Atlanta-area home Tuesday night, and a medical examiner said Wednesday that the ex-player committed suicide. Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping . Jane Virtanen scored two, and Alex Roach and Elliott Peterson rounded out the offence for the Hitmen (40-15-6). Brady Brassart chipped in with three assists. Colton McCarthy scored twice, Brayden Point had a goal and two assists, and Jack Rodewald also scored for the Warriors (15-35-9), who were 2 for 5 on the power play. http://www.cheapnfljerseysauthenticshop.com/ . -- Kyrie Irvings last-minute 3-pointer helped seal another victory for Cleveland -- and the Cavaliers longest winning streak since LeBron James left. ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Matt Forte scored three touchdown runs and Ryan Fitzpatrick finally solved Rex Ryans defense, leading the New York Jets to a 37-31 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night.Fortes 3-yard run put New York ahead 27-24 with 2:12 left in the third quarter. He sealed the win by patiently waiting for a seam to open before scampering into the end zone from 12 yards to put New York up 37-24 with 4:02 left in the fourth quarter.Forte finished with 100 yards rushing, and the offseason free-agent addition became the 13th New York player to score three rushing touchdowns in a game.The Jets (1-1) bounced back from a season-opening loss to Cincinnati and snapped a five-game skid against their AFC East rivals.Fitzpatrick finished 24 of 34 for 374 yards and a 5-yard touchdown pass to Eric Decker.In beating one of his former teams, Fitzpatrick also overcame the stinging memories of last years season finale, a 22-17 loss at Buffalo that eliminated the Jets from playoff contention. Fitzpatrick closed the loss by throwing interceptions on each of the Jets final three possessions.I think it means a little bit more than a regular game because this was my life for four years being here, Fitzpatrick said about spending 2009-12 with the Bills. But Im more excited about our team and the way we responded in the second half.The Bills (0-2) are suddenly reeling in Ryans second season as coach , and two years after he has fired by the Jets.Obviously, we never expected this, Ryan said. The Jets were a much better team than we were today, especially their offense against our defense looked like a mismatch today. You look for a difference in the game and that was the difference in the game.The Bills offense sputtered in a 13-7 loss at Baltimore on Sunday, and now it was their defense that showed cracks against the Jets.New York finished with 493 yards offense, 28 first downs and had seven drives cross midfield.Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor rebounded five days after he was limited to 111 yards passing against the Ravens.He went 18 of 30 for 298 yards and three touchdowns and an interception. Marquise Goodwin scored on an 84-yarder catch, Greg Salas scored on a 71-yard catch and running back Mike Gillislee made it close, by catching an 18-yard touchdown pass with 1:17 remaining.The Jets scored on each of their first four possessions to build a 20-7 lead.The Bills responded by scoring on three straight possessions spanning halftime to go up 24-20. Safety Nickell Robey-Coleman capped the run by returning Jalin Marshalls fumble 36 yards for a touchdown. Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys China. OING DEEPJets cornerback Darrelle Revis got off to another tough start. After having difficulty covering Bengals receiver A.J. Green on Sunday, Revis was burned by Goodwin on his 84-yard touchdown catch. Goodwin burst past Revis up the right sideline at midfield and had two steps on him when he caught Tyrod Taylors pass in stride at the Jets 35 and ran it in.It was Buffalos longest touchdown pass at home in team history, and longest since Fitzpatrick hit Terrell Owens for a 98-yard touchdown strike at Tennessee on Nov. 15, 2009.Adding in Salas 71-yard TD catch and Taylor became Buffalos fifth quarterback to throw two 70-plus yard touchdown passes in the same game, and first since J.P. Losman did it in 2006.FOURTH DOWNFortes final touchdown came after the Jets defense stopped the Bills twice for no gain at midfield, including run up the middle by LeSean McCoy on fourth-and-1. The Bills converted 3 of 10 third-down chances and were 1-for-2 on fourth down.QUICK HEALERJets receiver Brandon Marshall proved to be a quick healer. It appeared as if he sustained a serious injury when his left knee twisted beneath him while cornerback Stephon Gilmore brought him down by the facemask in the second quarter. Marshall immediately grabbed his knee and lay on the field for a few minutes before getting up on his own.Marshall returned for the next series and made a 21-yard catch after having his knee examined. The catch helped set up Deckers 5-yard touchdown catch that put the Jets up 20-7.INJURIESJets: Coach Todd Bowles said Marshall had a slight sprain. WR Quincy Enunwa continued playing despite sore ribs. LB Erin Henderson did not return because of a foot injury. OG James Carpenter injured a calf.Bills: Goodwin left the game late and was being for a potential concussion.THEY SAID IT:Fitzpatrick on Marshall returning to field: I thought he was down for the count, for sure.Bills LB Jerry Hughes: We just didnt play good football today. Just bad ball all around. ... We just didnt show up today.RETIRING NO. 78The Bills honored NFL career sacks leader and Hall of Famer Bruce Smith by retiring his No. 78 during a halftime ceremony.I dont know if Im worthy or lucky enough for all this, Smith told reporters before the game. He joins Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, whose No. 12, is the only number the Bills have retired.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Throwback Baseball Detroit Tigers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Colorado Rockies Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Houston Astros Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Kansas City Royals Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Los Angeles Angels Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Los Angeles Dodgers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Miami Marlins Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Milwaukee Brewers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Minnesota Twins Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball New York Mets Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball New York Yankees Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Oakland Athletics Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Philadelphia Phillies Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball San Diego Padres Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball San Francisco Giants Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Seattle Mariners JerseysCheap Throwback Baseball St. Louis Cardinals Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Tampa Bay Rays Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Texas Rangers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Toronto Blue Jays Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Washington Nationals Jerseys ' ' '
