      obviously the team I

      RALEIGH, N. Tanoh Kpassagnon Super Bowl Jersey .C. -- North Carolina State coach Dave Doeren doesnt need anyone to point out East Carolinas knack for knocking off Atlantic Coast Conference opponents.Heading into Saturdays trip to Greenville, Doeren remembers losing at home to the Pirates during his first season -- part of a run of five straight wins for the Pirates against ACC teams dating to that 2013 season.That 42-28 loss ended with Pirates fans outnumbering Wolfpack fans -- many of whom had long since bolted for the exits after falling behind big -- in N.C. States home stadium in the final quarter. Now N.C. State is traveling to East Carolinas Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium to face a rowdy sellout crowd filled with fans eager to stick it to a power-conference instate foe.Their fans did a great job in our stadium, and obviously the team I coached and we played with created that, Doeren said. Our job is to go down there and not let them have that spirit.The Wolfpack (1-0) rolled to an easy opening win against William & Mary, highlighted by a strong debut from Boise State graduate transfer Ryan Finley at the helm of a newly installed offense. The Pirates (1-0) had a lopsided home win against Western Carolina in the first game under new head coach Scottie Montgomery, who had served as Dukes offensive coordinator.Weve kind of been amped up for a long time now, Montgomery said of the instate rivalry. To be in front of our fans, were going to try to make this about us and not so much the opponent were playing. We do understand and feel the gravity of the moment. This is a big-time matchup.Ive been in the Triangle a lot of my life, so I understand the importance of winning in-state games and being around in-state opponents (that are) so close. Well be focused and ready to go.---Some things to know about Saturdays N.C. State-East Carolina matchup:FINLEYS FOLLOW-UP: Ryan Finley got off to a good start in Eli Drinkwitzs new control-the-tempo attack, leading the Wolfpack to touchdowns on all four of his first-half drives in the opener. After that game, I think weve got a clearer picture of what were good at, Drinkwitz said.NELSONS TOO: Like Finley, former Minnesota and Rutgers quarterback Philip Nelson had a strong start in his first game at his new school. Nelson threw for 398 yards and five touchdowns for the Pirates last week, completing 28 of 32 passes. But things get tougher for both quarterbacks this weekend.DAYES PURSUIT: N.C. States Matt Dayes is trying to become the Wolfpacks first 1,000-yard rusher since 2002. He ran for 138 yards and two scores in the opener, the most yards by any ACC player in Week 1. Another big game would certainly ease some of the burden on Finley and keep him on pace for that season-long pursuit.PENALTIES: N.C. State had seven penalties for 80 yards in the opener, including one when Kentavius Street was flagged for taking off his helmet to celebrate a third-down sack. Doeren wants to see the Wolfpack avoid dumb penalties that could prove costly in a close game. Weve got to act like weve done it before, he said of Streets celebration penalty.MOVING THE CHAINS: Both teams were really good on third down in the opener, combining to convert 20 of 29 chances (69 percent). With hot temperatures expected and both offenses happy to push tempo, the pressure will be on both defenses to come up with stops and stay fresh.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap and the APs college football site at http://collegefootball.ap.org Darron Lee Super Bowl Jersey . -- Brandon Jennings made the most of his first game with the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night. Breeland Speaks Super Bowl Jersey .C. -- Glenn Howard needed an extra end to move into the Masters Grand Slam of Curling final. http://www.officialkcchiefspro.com/Kendall-fuller-chiefs-jersey/ .

OXFORD, Ohio -- Michael Weathers scored 18 of his 26 points after halftime, twin brother Marcus Weathers had his first career double-double and Miami (Ohio) overcame a 15-point deficit to beat Grambling State 78-76 in overtime on Wednesday night.Michael Weathers was 8-for-14 shooting and had a career-best eight assists while Marcus Weathers had career highs of 18 points and 12 rebounds. Jake Wright and Abdoulaye Harouna scored 12 points apiece -- including six in overtime by Harouna.Harouna made a 3-pointer and Michael Weathers hit two free throws to make it 70-65 with 3:51 left in overtime and Miami (4-3) led the rest of the way.Avery Ugba wwas fouled as he made a layup with 1:22 left, but he missed the free throw and the Tigers trailed 74-73. Emmanuel Ogbah Super Bowl Jersey. Marcus Weathers missed two free throws but, after Nigel Ribieros offensive foul on the other end, his dunk -- and a layup by Harouna -- made it 78-73 with 12 seconds to go.Ribieros 3 with 8:52 left in regulation gave Grambling State (3-5) a 62-47 lead but the RedHawks scored 18 of the next 21 points to tie it at 65.Michael Weathers blocked a potential winning jumper with two seconds left to force OT.
