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. Ryan Johansen Predators Jersey . It just didnt show when he hit the ice.

SPIELBERG, Austria -- Daniil Kvyat says the FIA has made a mistake installing new kerbs at the Red Bull Ring after he suffered a big accident during qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix.Kvyat ran wide at Turn 8 during qualifying, prompting his right rear suspension to collapse and pitch him into the dividing wall between the pit lane and the track. He escaped without injury but was one of three drivers, including Sergio Perez and Nico Rosberg, to experience a suspension failure on the Red Bull Rings kerbs on Saturday.Kvyat said Toro Rosso was still investigating the incident, but believes the harsh yellow kerbing on the exit of Turn 8 should be removed.I think they should take them off, he said. Theyve done a mistake, they have to admit that its stupid. At the last corner I asked them Do we have track limits? and they said No, we have no track limits so Saturday we are working towards no track limits. So one corner has track limits another corner has no track limits.There was no strong opinion from the drivers or anyone [during Fridays driver briefing], but today the consequences are stronger. There is three suspensions broke and very similar failures. I tthink three different teams suspension failures on kerbs, I think they are in a place where they need to find a better solution.ddddddddddddWe need to investigate but we will for sure do our bit as much as possible to investigate these things. Even if we put a wall there, a wall would be safer because at least you know whats happening.When it was put to Kvyat that the drivers should remain within the track limits, he said: We are drivers, if you give us a two kilometre run-off area we will try to use this as much as we can.Like I said based on my experience yesterday, I went on that kerb also and the suspension didnt fail. Today it failed. So, yeah, I think only a pussy doesnt go there.Kvyat said he was lucky to escape without injury after hitting the dividing wall at the pit lane entrance.It wasnt pleasant! When I was going to the pit entry wall I was thinking Please no! Please no! and I was lucky that I just touched it a bit. When you land you have a compression so I tried to stay strong because then this thing was so annoying. ' ' '
