PULLMAN, Wash. Nigel Harris Jersey . -- Josh Hawkinson scored 21 points and Washington State staged a furious comeback in the last six minutes, defeating Santa Clara 69-68 on Saturday when Charles Callison came up with the game-saving block.The Cougars (6-5) scored 14 of the games final 16 points, but couldnt breathe a sigh of relief until Callison sealed the win with his last second block of SCUs Jared Brownridge. It was only fitting that the game lied in their hands, as Brownridge had scored 25 points and Callison was at the center of WSUs rally.The Cougars trailed 66-55 with less than six minutes to play when they began to catch their rhythm. Callison brought WSU to within 66-65 on a 3-pointer with 2:09 remaining, and his layup with 1:25 left gave the team its first lead since halftime.Santa Clara (5-7) missed its last seven shots, but still had a chance to send the game into overtime in the closing seconds when they trailed 69-66. WSU chose to foul Jarvis Pugh with seven seconds left to prevent a 3-pointer, and his pair of free throws brought within one.Callison, who ranks third in the Pac-12 in free throw percentage, missed the front end of a one-and-one to set the stage for the thrilling conclusion. Brownridge pulled up near the 3-point line, only to have Callison swat away the game winner.I knew he was going to try to get the last shot up at the 3 and I just tried to make a big play and not foul him, Callison said.WSU showed a level of resiliency that was lacking in previous seasons, but third-year WSU coach Ernie Kent believe Saturdays comeback could be the turning in his program.One of the things that has kept me awake a lot of nights the last three years is when they have that saying at the end of an event here that we Cougd it and I always kept saying `Boy, wouldnt it be great to change that around to where it meant a positive thing, that Cougd it means you pulled it out, Kent said. ...Maybe this is the start of something for us.BIG PICTURESanta Clara: Brownridge reached the 25-point mark for the fourth time this season, and improved his scoring average to 17.6 points per game. His seven made 3-pointers tied a season high. The Broncos have one game remaining before West Coast Conference play begins against BYU.Washington State: Hawkinson has scored in double digits every year.

Hey!" The lower tier of the School End of Queens Park Rangers Loftus Road was packed solid with a very festive-sounding Chelsea choral section in this particular part of South Africa Road London, W12.CARRINGTON, England -- Alex Ferguson is looking forward to a retired life of luxury holidays, watching horse racing, enjoying good wines and perhaps studying languages. Before that, though, theres one final challenge to overcome -- beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday in his 1,500th and last game as Manchester United manager. "One thousand five hundred matches -- its quite incredible," Ferguson said Friday, shaking his head in wonder at his own longevity. The end of the road in Fergusons 39-year coaching career comes at The Hawthorns, an unassuming stadium in central England. He has already had one emotional farewell -- at Old Trafford on Sunday after a 2-1 win over Swansea that marked his final home match as United manager. On that occasion, there was a guard of honour, a five-minute speech to fans and relentless waving of red flags by United supporters who cant quite believe their manager of nearly 27 years is stepping aside. Theres also been Uniteds trophy parade through the streets of Manchester on Monday, when tens of thousands of people came out in force for one more glimpse of the legendary man and his Premier League title-winners. This weekends match promises to be another tear-jerker, although all Ferguson wants is a win. Its typical of him. "Every team wants to win their last home game -- thats a fact of life," said Ferguson, who was named the Premier Leagues manager of the year on Friday. "And also I want to win this one more than last weeks even." His coaching life began in 1974, with unheralded East Stirlingshire in the Scottish lower leagues. Ferguson remembers having "eight players and no goalkeeper." Now he has six goalkeepers and around 100 players to oversee. "Its a different life," Ferguson acknowledged. "Change is inevitable -- you have to manage that. "There have been big changes in this club in terms of number of staff, sports science, modern technology has come into it. When I started as a manager there were no agents, media was different then too. ... The changes are all there, integrated over a long period. But I dont think Ive changed much." Things are set to change in Fergusons life, however. No more getting up in the early hours and being the first person into Carrington, Uniteds vast and impressive training complex in west Manchester. No more picking teams, coaching world-class players, doing draining media duties. But that doesnt mean hell bee enjoying regular 10-hour sleep-ins, as he did after the parade on Monday. Jeremiah Attaochu Jersey. "Its the first time in my life that Ive had 10 hours sleep -- (wife) Cathy kept making sounds round about me," Ferguson said. "I think she was just checking to see if I was alive." Fergusons new life will likely see him having a closer involvement in his second passion of horse racing and spending more time with his family and on holiday, particularly to his favourite destinations of New York and the south of France. Hes then scheduled to have hip surgery in July. "Im driven to take on some challenges and some other things right away," he said. "Ive got a league managers meeting on Monday, Im going to Newmarket (for horse racing) on Tuesday and Wednesday ... Im going on holiday on June 4, its the (English) Derby on June 1, Im going on holiday for a month. "Then Im having the operation, then Ive got the recuperation, then the season starts. So were all right." Ferguson, who will become a director at United once he passes on the reins to new manager David Moyes, made his decision to quit coaching last Christmas, in the wake of the death of his wifes sister. He said Friday he has no regrets, not even after the dejection he felt following Uniteds exit at the hands of Real Madrid in the Champions League in March, when winger Nani was controversially sent off with United ahead on aggregate in the two-legged match. That denied Ferguson the chance of a third title in the Champions League, a competition in which he has always acknowledged United has underperformed for a club of its stature. "I made my mind up long ago and that was it ... you cant be successful without disappointments, I think disappointments are good for you," Ferguson said. "Its a challenge to you and for your players character to recover and I think weve been doing that over the years." Ferguson was given a standing ovation at his final news conference Friday. He received a cake with a hairdryer made of icing on top, in reference to the so-called "hairdryer treatment" he dished out to players at halftime of matches. Thats just one of the many things Ferguson will be remembered for. "The memories are all there, 26 years at Manchester United is fantastic," Ferguson said. "The day I came here was a privilege and the day Ive left will be an honour. Im lucky to have been here that long."
