BOISE, Idaho -- With his fifth-ranked team trailing by two points in the final seconds, San Diego State coach Steve Fisher was all but certain senior point guard Xavier Thames was going to take the final shot for the Aztecs on Wednesday night. Black Friday Nike Shoes . But Thames surprised his coach -- and most of the 9,602 in attendance -- when he whipped a pass to Dwayne Polee II, who drained a three-pointer with four seconds left to give the Aztecs an improbable come-from-behind 67-65 victory that extended their winning streak to 19 games. "It was like the Red Sea parted," Polee said. "I wasnt surprised. X is a real unselfish player, and if there was one person open, he was going to find them." Thames finished with 23 points for San Diego State (20-1, 9-0 Mountain West), but it was his steal at midcourt in the final minute and his second assist of the game that saved the Aztecs, who trailed by 14 points in the second half. "What can you say about Xavier Thames?" Fisher asked. "You cant tell me that hes not playing as well as anyone in America right now." Thames said he was very close to taking a shot that would have tied the score. But at the very last second, he changed his mind. "I had a pretty decent look, but I saw DP out of the corner of my eye," Thames said. "I was going to shoot a floater but (Ryan) Watkins was going to contest it. Then I saw (Anthony) Drmic sink down. It was on the tip of my fingers (to shoot). It was pretty close." Close is the typical result when the Aztecs and Broncos (15-8, 5-5) play. The past six meetings between the schools have been decided by six or fewer points. San Diego State eliminated Boise State from the past two conference tournaments and won 69-66 last month in San Diego. "Theyre a good matchup for us, and were a good matchup for them," Thames said. "We know were always going to get a great game for them." Mikey Thompson led the Broncos with 16 points and Thomas Bropleh and Derrick Marks both added 15. "I just feel awful for these guys right now," Boise State coach Leon Rice said. "They are giving everything they have. We just havent finished." Boise State led the final 18 minutes of the first half and the first 15 of the second before a scoring drought allowed the Aztecs to rally. After Bropleh banked in a three-pointer to give the Broncos a 57-43 lead with 13:37 to play, Boise State only made one field goal in the next 11 minutes and the lead disappeared when Thames scored his seventh consecutive point to give his team a 61-59 lead with four minutes to play. Boise State finally got on track, getting two free throws and a layup from Thompson and a basket from Marks to retake the lead at 65-62. Thames made a steal in the final minute and hit two free throws after being fouled, and after Marks missed a jumper, the Aztecs were in position for the biggest play of the game. "That was a tough, gutty character-type game for us," Fisher said. "We stayed with it and found a way to win." Thames said there was some motivation to keep the winning streak going. With its meteoric rise to No. 5 in the poll, the Aztecs expect to get every teams best shot the rest of the way. "We talked at halftime about that," he said. "We said, You know they are going to rush the court if they win. We didnt want that to happen." Josh Davis had 10 points for San Diego State, which won despite turning the ball over 15 times and allowing Boise State to shoot 51 per cent from the field and make eight three-pointers. "They just kept hitting shot after shot," said Polee, who finished with nine points and was 1 for 1 on three-point attempts. "Everything they threw up was going in. We just had to buckle up." The win was the 10th straight win away from home for San Diego State and its ninth Fake Nike Shoes From China . With the union re-formed, negotiations with owners will resume Friday on the remaining issues that would be in the collective bargaining agreement, according to a person familiar with the plans. Wholesale Nike Shoes . -- Conner Bleackley got it done in regulation time and in the shootout. https://www.fakenikeshoeswholesale.com/ .com) - Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki was named the National League Player of the Month for April.SANTA CLARA, Calif. - San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York is tired of the legal troubles involving his team, hinting Monday that the standards slipped under former coach Jim Harbaugh while pointing the blame at everybody involved including himself.As the off-field problems and arrests mounted, Harbaugh stood and spoke for the franchise each time — exactly how the front office wanted it. He handled the tough questions and all the mundane day-to-day dealings in between.The 49ers had 10 arrests involving six different players since January 2012, most in the NFL.There are things that I didnt necessarily like — Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, that you dont speak more loudly on because you win, York said. And thats my failure. There were things that in conversations that we had, I know what my gut was. And we had conversations and we did things that probably didnt jell well with who I am. And I would rather do the things that we need to, but stay at the level of class that I expect of the San Francisco 49ers. And this isnt shooting at Jim and saying, Jim made all these decisions. I want you to clearly hear that.Broadly referred to as philosophical differences, the issues between York and Harbaugh ultimately were too great to maintain a winning relationship.That is Yorks take on what transpired anyway. He and general manager Trent Baalke addressed Harbaughs departure a day later in what the owner reiterated was a mutual decision.York wouldnt elaborate on his chat with Harbaugh or what they didnt agree upon during the coachs successful four-year tenure that included three straight NFC championship game appearances and a runner-up showing in the Super Bowl after the 2012 season.Weve had philosophical discussions and when we sat down we just couldnt come to a place where we thought moving (on) together was the best for either party, York said. We didnt win the Super Bowl. If we dont win the Super Bowl, were not executing. Our mission is very simple: The San Francisco 49ers win with class. We havent won, and I dont think weve conducted ourselves with the level of class that I expect of our organization. Weve had off-the-field issues. Thats going to happen in sports. The level that its happened here is not acceptable.Harbaugh, meanwhile, was long gone already and poised to be formally introduced by his alma mater,, Michigan. Discount Nike Shoes. He didnt return messages seeking comment as photos emerged of him arriving in Detroit.York said he understands if fans are frustrated that the team parted ways with Harbaugh given the successful turnaround since his high-profile hiring in January 2011 and with one year left on his $25 million, five-year deal. Harbaugh was free to sign anywhere, York said.Jim is a very good football coach. I certainly understand why our fans would want him to stay, York said. Theyre upset, I get it.Players cleaned out lockers, and began fielding questions about what they want in a new coach. Several said theyd love someone a lot like Harbaugh.Of the expected internal candidates, defensive line coach Jim Tomsula and defensive co-ordinator Vic Fangio, there is support for both. Neither York nor Baalke would say who they might interview in what they called an upcoming 7-10 day period. All the assistant coaches were still employed as of Monday, York and Baalke said.Arizona defensive co-ordinator Todd Bowles and Seattle defensive co-ordinator Dan Quinn also are expected to receive interviews, Quinn perhaps as early as this week given the Seahawks have a bye as the NFCs No. 1 overall playoff seed. Patriots offensive co-ordinator Josh McDaniels is likely to get an interview.Were going to take as long as necessary to make sure we have the right person in place, Baalke said. We were 8-8 this year. There are no excuses. It starts with me. ... This isnt a rebuild situation, this is a reload situation.York and Baalke met with the players Monday as everybody parted ways for an earlier off-season than anyone expected following a disappointing 8-8 season that began with Super Bowl aspirations. They expressed the need for accountability.Sometimes things dont work out, and its a business, fullback Bruce Miller said. They make those decisions. But we had a great time with him and loved playing for him.Now, the players are preparing for whoever might be their next leader.Hes going to have to have pretty much everything that Jim Harbaugh had, tight end Vernon Davis said, because he was good. He was really good. If you look at who we were, our identity, in the beginning before Harbaugh even got here, we were pretty much nothing.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
