SAN ANTONIO -- Nebraska coach Tim Miles couldnt fix the cold shooting or sloppy passes. The Big Ten coach of the year did see one thing he could correct: an overlooked shot clock error. Nope. These Huskers werent even going to get that right. Miles was instead ejected while trying to alert officials to the mistake, and 11th-seeded Nebraska would soon join their coach out of the NCAA tournament, falling to No. 6 seed Baylor 74-60 in the second round Friday. "Im thinking, Thats a correctible error. That is something we can go correct, and the official came over and Td me up," Miles said of getting his second technical foul. "I said Its the shot clock; it never ran. I was trying to look for the shot clock operator, and Im assuming its the guy that just dropped his head." The Cornhuskers lost again in their seventh tournament appearance. It punctuated a frustrating end to an otherwise fabulous season for a program that has long been an afterthought at football-crazed Nebraska. But basketball success is expected at Baylor (25-11), which has won 11 of 13 after a dismal start in the Big 12. The Bears didnt make last years tournament, but rolled to the Elite Eight in 2010 and 2012. Now theyre surging again. "The past Elite Eights that we did have were good runs, but this year were just looking at it as checking it one game at a time," said Cory Jefferson, who scored 16 points and was with Baylor for both those trips. "We had ours today, the next one is on Sunday. Well look at one game, and well move on from there." Baylor will play either No. 3 seed Creighton or No. 14 seed Louisiana-Lafayette on Sunday. Terran Petteway scored 18 points for Nebraska (19-13), which hadnt played on this stage since 1998 and often looked like it. Nebraska missed nine of its first 10 shots, laboured through a 9-minute scoring drought then lost their coach midway through the second half. The officials tossed Miles after ringing him up for a second technical foul in nearly as many minutes. He first erupted after Petteway, the Big Tens leading scorer, picked up his fourth foul just after Nebraska cut the lead to single digits. Two minutes later, Miles was gone. "I didnt want an unfair competitive advantage. The same contact here should be the same contact there," Miles said. But he also didnt make excuses. "Officiating is not what did us in," he said. Referee Karl Hess issued a statement after the game acknowledging a shot clock error that both the operator and officials didnt notice. But he didnt suggest that giving Miles a second technical was wrong, referencing a section of the NCAA rulebook that prohibits "inciting undesirable crowd reactions" and certain conduct while objecting to an officials decision. As Miles walked toward the tunnel, he drew a standing ovation from a Texas crowd splashed with a healthy swath of Big Red. It was a big day for the state of Nebraska at the AT&T Center: Creightons game was next up, and fans shed red shirts at the buzzer to reveal Bluejay blue underneath. Isaiah Austin scored 13 points and Brady Heslip added 12 points for Baylor. The Bears didnt outshoot the Cornhuskers but got to the free throw line three times as often -- they made 38 of 48, compared to 10 of 16 for Nebraska. Shavon Shields scored 16 points and Ray Gallegos had 15 for the Cornhuskers. That Baylor and Nebraska were even here was a doubtful scenario just two months ago. Both teams nosedived toward February with a combined 2-11 record in conference play, with the Cornhuskers fulfilling historically low expectations and the Bears bottoming out after being ranked high as No 7 in the nation. Their turnarounds were almost simultaneous. Refusing to settle for a fourth losing season in five years, Nebraska won 10 of its last 13 and seized an unlikely status as one of the biggest surprises in the country. Baylor, meanwhile, won 10 of its final 12 during a hot streak that included a dominating march to the Big 12 tournament final.

LOUIS - St. Louis Blues coach Ken Hitchcock has noticed something about Vladimir Tarasenko in the young Russian forwards first few NHL seasons.If he gets one (goal), hes hungry, Hitchcock said. He gets his game to another level, which is what he did in the third period.Tarasenko recorded his second hat trick of the season as part of a four-point night and the Blues rallied from a two-goal deficit to beat the Los Angeles Kings 5-2 on Tuesday night for their fifth straight victory.Theyre really tough, Tarasenko said of the defending Stanley Cup champion Kings. They have a really good team, and they won last year, so this is good motivation for us and a good challenge.The 23-year-old Tarasenko has 20 goals and 36 points in 31 games. He scored 21 goals and had 43 points in 64 games last season after scoring eight in 38 games as a rookie in the 2012-13 campaign.Vladdy shoots the puck so incredibly well that you just tip your hat, Blues captain David Backes said. Hes got 20 goals already. Hes the real deal.The Blues, who will begin a three-game trip against the Kings on Thursday, improved to 12-3-1 at home and 21-8-2 overall.Hopefully we can build on this momentum, Hitchcock said. I think any time you play against good teams and you prove that you can play with them or you can beat them, it gives us another level of confidence.Los Angeles (15-11-6) has lost three straight and five of six. The Kings have dominated the Blues in recent seasons, winning seven of eight in the regular season and 17 of 21, including the playoffs.This one is a sour one for sure, Kings centre Anze Kopitar said. We have to put this one behind us. Theres a new one on Thursday and we have to make sure were ready for that one.The Kings had taken control when Marian Gaborik scored twice in the second period.Gaboriks first, at 5:39, came after a shot by Justin Williams from the left circle. The rebound was knocked around in tthe crease before Gaborik poked it in.ddddddddddddLos Angeles took advantage of an interference penalty by rookie defenceman Petteri Lindbohm for Gaboriks second goal.Gaborik tipped a centring pass from Kopitar off the left post and into the net to give the Kings a 2-0 lead with 9:00 remaining in the period.Our team usually closes things out leading by two, Kings forward Justin Williams said. We didnt do it tonight. Its very frustrating.Tarasenko answered Gaboriks second goal with his 18th of the season, assisted by Steve Ott and Chris Butler, at 12:29.The Blues then jumped on the Kings in the third period, following penalties by Dustin Brown and Robyn Regehr.Jaden Schwartz tipped in Kevin Shattenkirks shot on a two-man power play to tie it 2-2 at 11:20. Tarasenko gave the Blues the lead with a 5-on-4 goal just 40 seconds later, and Alexander Steen scored at even strength at 13:50.You kind of felt it in the game, Backes said. It was time to sink or swim. Our guys responded really well. We get on our horse and start playing our game where were getting pucks and forcing them to take a couple penalties there and we get a 5-on-3.Then we get one on the second half of that penalty, as well, and from there I think you started to see that glimmer in our eyes. Enough of taking a back seat to these guys, we can play with them when were all in on the effort.Tarasenko scored his 20th goal of the season into an empty net with 1:24 remaining.They scored four goals on not too many shots, Los Angeles coach Darryl Sutter said.NOTES: Blues F T.J.
