Youd have to look hard to find flaws in a team that has outscored its opponents by an average of 31 points per game, but Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim eventually found something he could use to motivate his team following a 71-50 blowout of Monmouth on Friday.Boeheim, now in his 41st year at Syracuse, said the 17th-ranked Orange need to do a better job of protecting the ball when it faces South Carolina State in a Brooklyn Hoops Holiday Invitational game at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday at the Carrier Dome.Syracuse committed 16 turnovers against Monmouth Friday, including 10 in the second half, after turning the ball over a combined 20 times in its first two games against Colgate and Holy Cross.We cant have our point guards just giving the ball up like that, Boeheim said. They didnt score any points in the second half except off turnovers.Actually, the Hawks scored only eight of their 21 second-half points off turnovers. But its true that Orange point guards Frank Howard and John Gillon, who combined for 27 assists and five turnovers in the first two games, were both a little shaky against Monmouth with a combined seven assists and four turnovers.Im not worried about John. Hes a good player and he went against a good kid (Friday) thats really good (Monmouth point guard Justin Robinson), Boeheim said. He made a couple of mistakes, Frank made a couple of mistakes. Thats why we play these games, to try to learn from those mistakes.The Orange will play another one of these games Tuesday against a South Carolina State team that fell to 1-2 Friday after a 92-50 loss to South Carolina. The Brooklyn Hoops Holiday Invitational is a five-team, round-robin tournament that includes Syracuse, South Carolina, South Carolina State, Monmouth and Holy Cross.Last season, the Bulldogs enjoyed their best season since 2005 as they finished 19-15 overall and 12-4 in the Mid-Eastern Atlantic Conference and advanced to the title game of the MEAC Tournament. The leagues coaches and athletic directors picked S.C. State to finish second in the MEAC this year behind Howard -- the first time since 2003 the Bulldogs have been picked as high as second in the preseason.But with six new players, the Bulldogs are still finding their way as they were thumped by a strong Wichita State team 85-39 and defeated NAIA member St. Andrews University 93-76 before losing to South Carolina. The Bulldogs shot only 30.8 percent (16-for-52) and were outrebounded 47-24 against the Gamecocks, and theyll have to do far better than that if they want to stay in the game against Syracuse.It was a tough loss for our team tonight against a very talented and well-coached South Carolina team, but we have to learn from this and keep moving forward, said Bulldogs coach Murray Gavin, the 2015-16 MEAC Coach of the Year. They had 28 second-chance points to our four and that was the deciding factor down the stretch.The Bulldogs are led by All-MEAC Preseason first-team selection Eric EJ Eaves, who averaged 17.3 points per game last season and is scoring at a 15.3-point clip this year. Fifth-year transfer guard Andrew White is leading the Orange in scoring at 18 points per game and hes shooting 38.5 percent (10 of 26) from 3-point range. Craig Smith Jersey .

Its that time of the year when we look back on the season that was, Denver and their defence won Super Bowl 50, while as expected Cam Newton took the MVP award at the NFL Honours show in San Francisco on the eve of the big game.But there was plenty to remember from the rest of the season, so we asked Super Bowl XXXIV winner Torry Holt for his take the players who performed when their team needed it most. The former St Louis Rams wide receiver came up with six that caught his eye and weve added some of their season highlights. Ode to Beast Mode Looking back at the career of Marshawn Lynch JULIO JONES (WR) Atlanta FalconsYou can pull up any Julio Jones clip - they are fascinating.He is fast, big, can catch, can run, can block. He does it all at the wide receiver position. He is someone that sticks out to me. RUSSELL WILSON (QB) Seattle SeahawksRussell had a phenomenal year. With Marshawn Lynch being in and out of the line-up, they had to rely on Russell Wilsons legs and his arm.He threw for more than 4000 yards, 34 touchdowns - he had a great year, particularly the second half of the season when he and Doug Baldwin got on a real hot streak. Here are some of Julio Jones season highlights.

Geno Atkins showed hes one of the stars of the Cincinatti Bengals side throughout the season.ddddddddddddVideo courtesy of the NFL GENO ATKINS (DT) Cincinnati Bengals He was very dominant up front for the Bengals defensive line. Take a look at some of Russell Wilsons best moments. Video courtesy of the NFL JOSH NORMAN (CB) Carolina Panthers For the Panthers, Greg Olsen, Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis were all impressive but Josh Norman, at the corner position - he had a great year. Aaron Donald stood out for St Louis Rams. Video courtesy of the NFL LARRY FITZGERALD (WR) Arizona CardinalsI credit Larry because he went from being the outside receiver to now playing in the slot and handling a lot of the blocking duties.He had a really good year and a really good post season and he continued his post-season streak of consecutive catches and receiving yards (Fitzgerald remains the only player to average a touchdown catch and 100+ receiving yards per post-season game). Josh Norman made his mark this season with several stunning displays.
