NEW YORK -- Penn State coach Patrick Chambers sounded like a coach who just watched his team play as well as it has all season.We competed. We played hard. And its nice, of course, to make so many 3s, he said. That always helps.Shep Garner scored 21 points and was 6 for 9 from 3-point range to lead Penn State to a 92-76 victory over St. Johns on Sunday in the Holiday Festival at Madison Square Garden.If youre not nervous coming into this game, to be playing at the Garden, theres something wrong with you, Chambers said. I get butterflies. I get jacked up. I cant wait to walk on the floor.The Nittany Lions (7-5) took control early by closing the first half on a 35-5 run for a 52-29 lead. Garner had two 3s early in the surge as St. Johns (5-7) didnt have a field goal over the final 9:45, missing 10 shots from the field and committing six turnovers.Garners effort from beyond the 3-point arc was part of Penn State shooting 13 for 23 from long range (56.5 percent), well above the 33 percent it was hitting this season.Payton Banks had 17 points and was 5 of 9 on 3s for Penn State, which won its third straight. Mike Watkins had 15 points and 13 rebounds and Josh Reaves and Tony Reaves added 13 points each for the Nittany Lions.When Mike brings that juice, that energy and passion, hes protecting the paint and the rim for us, Chambers said. He gets us going and gets us out on the break for easy baskets and uncontested shots.Malik Ellison led the Red Storm with 22 points while Shamorie Ponds added 12 and Tariq Owens had 11 points and 11 rebounds.We had a lack of energy at a certain point in the first half and we just dug ourselves in a huge hole, Ellison said.Owens echoed Ellisons comments.Early on we came out playing well and then just had a mental lapse, Owens said. Total effort in the first half, as a complete unit we didnt bring it as a team, so we had to change some things at half and adjust our effort.Second-year coach Chris Mullin hopes his team can gain something from the game.I was telling them after the game not only do you hate to lose and youre embarrassed and all those emotions, but what you really have to do is learn from this, Mullin said.BIG PICTUREPenn State: Two of the Nittany Lions losses have been to ranked teams -- No. 1 Duke and No. 25 Cincinnati. ...

NEW YORK -- The Philadelphia Phillies enter Sunday with a better record in August than the New York Mets.

The Mets have outscored the Phillies 21-5 in the first two contests to improve to 66-63 overall and pull within 2 1/2 games of the St. Louis Cardinals for the second wild card.The Mets, who are 12-13 this month, have scored 50 runs in the last seven games, during which they have gone 6-1. The current hot stretch follows a 34-game stretch in which New York went 13-21 and scored three runs or fewer 18 times.Just the nature of the game, Mets manager Terry Collins said. Theres some days, theres some weeks youre red-hot and others you cant hit anybody.The Mets have been ignited by the return of Jose Reyes, Asdrubal Cabrera and Yoenis Cespedes, all of whom were on the disabled list earlier this month.
