LUBBOCK, Texas -- Marcus Smart hustled back on defence to prevent a dunk and went careening into the crowd behind the basket. Jared Cook Jersey . He was helped to his feet with only seconds remaining and No. 19 Oklahoma State on its way to a fourth straight defeat. Thats when all the trouble started. Suddenly incensed, Smart got in the face of a Texas Tech fan who appeared to say something to the star guard. Smart shoved him with two hands. The man stumbled backward a bit, but didnt fall. Teammates quickly pulled Smart away from the fracas, and he pointed back in the direction of the fan. Smart was called for a technical foul but was not ejected. He remained on the bench until the final buzzer. As fans stormed the court to celebrate Texas Techs 65-61 win Saturday night, Smart was escorted off the floor by a man wearing Oklahoma State colours -- with a uniformed police officer trailing right behind. A unanimous selection to the preseason All-America team, Smart could now face discipline from the Big 12. Texas Tech spokesman Trenten Hilburn said John Underwood, the conferences associate commissioner for basketball, said the league would review the situation. "I didnt see it yet. I want to make sure I see it and see what happened," Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said after the game. "Im still trying to figure it out." No Cowboys players were made available to reporters after the game. Smart tried to block Jaye Crocketts dunk attempt from behind with 6.2 seconds to go and tumbled into the front row of the crowd. He was helped up by one man but then went after another, Jeff Orr, who travels thousands of miles each year to attend Texas Tech basketball games, according to athletic department spokesman Blayne Beal. Smart pushed Orr, and fans nearby looked stunned -- one wide-eyed woman next to Orr pointed at Smart as he was pulled away. Texas Tech coach Tubby Smith said he turned away from the play and didnt see the altercation. "You really have to find the film to see what happened," he said. "I assume the officials saw what happened. Thats why he got a technical out of it. The frustration when youre losing sometimes on a losing streak, Ive been there before, it can be tough. Im sure he regrets doing that, whatever he did, so things like that happen in the heat of the battle." Crockett scored 21 points and tied his season high with 12 rebounds to lead Texas Tech. Smart had 22 points and Phil Forte added 15 for the Cowboys (16-7, 4-6 Big 12). Considered one of the best all-around players in the country, Smart has showed frustration more than once during an inconsistent season. The sophomore guard got off to a fantastic start, leading to speculation that he could be the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft this year. He has struggled in some recent games, though, including a four-point effort against West Virginia when he kicked a chair on the bench. That led to him apologizing to his teammates afterward. This one was tied at 61 when Crockett hit the go-ahead shot with 41 seconds remaining. Oklahoma States LeBryan Nash lost the ball in the lane, and Crockett raced toward the basket at the other end. Smart knocked the ball away and was called for a foul, then pushed Orr and drew the technical. Dusty Hannahs and Crockett each made one of two free throws for the final margin. The Red Raiders (12-11, 4-6) earned their second win over a Top 25 team in the past month. They beat then-No. 12 Baylor in January. None of Texas Techs players had ever played in front of a sellout crowd at home before. The last two at United Spirit Arena came in January 2007, including New Years Day when former Red Raiders coach Bob Knight got his 880th win to become the winningest coach in Division I. This victory gave the Red Raiders as many Big 12 wins this season as they had the past two years combined. The score was tied 13 times and the lead changed 12 times as each team put together runs throughout the game. Oklahoma State went on a 17-7 spurt to open the second half, including two 3-pointers by Forte and six points from Smart, to go up 44-36. But the Red Raiders didnt buckle. They used a 9-2 run to pull to 46-45 with 11:14 remaining. Texas Tech went ahead 51-48 on a 3 by Crockett right before Kamari Murphy picked up his fourth foul with 7:47 left. The Cowboys answered, culminating with a 3-pointer from Smart to go up 57-54 with 4:31 remaining. Crockett quickly tied it at 57 with a 3. Oklahoma State struggled early, making one field goal in 11 tries. But the Cowboys used a 10-0 run to go up 14-10. The Red Raiders answered with a 9-2 run and later an 8-2 spurt in the final 1:29 of the half to lead 29-27. Oklahoma States point total for the half was a season low. Sam Shields Jersey . Hes even holding a bat on one of his 2014 baseball cards. So far, hes playing like his picture. Sam Shields Packers Jersey . Whenever United loses, its crisis. When other top teams slip up, its the quirky nature of the Premier League. The predictable reaction speaks to the sky-high expectations for a team proven perennial contender and 13 times Premier League champion. http://www.packersteamauthenticproshop.com/Youth-Randall-Cobb-Elite-Jersey/ . Sundays race will be held at the Sepang circuit, adjacent to Kuala Lumpurs main airport where the ill-fated flight took off earlier this month.

Kessel trails only Steven Stamkos with 81 even-strength goals since the start of the 2011-12 campaign, but he has just one during the Leafs booming 9-1-1 run. Eight players on the Leafs actually have more such goals than Kessel in that span (including one defenceman), indicative of the new wave of depth thats come to rise in Toronto. The Leafs are the highest scoring team in hockey right now and, while the 27-year-old Kessel still leads that bunch with 31 points in 30 games, hes gotten a whole lot of help, a dramatic change from seasons past. Its been a strength of our team all year, said Joffrey Lupul, who has six goals in 18 games. In wins over Detroit and L.A. over the weekend, the Leafs had six different players score seven goals. The group has boomed with nearly four goals per game since they were thrashed at home by Nashville in mid-November, riding that offence to the edge of an Atlantic division lead. Good teams have depth, Peter Horachek, one of the teams assistant coaches said Monday. You need secondary scoring. You need secondary play through everybody. Thats what pushes you. Its a good, healthy kind of pressure coming from everybody, that people are pushing and going in the right direction and theyre all providing something to the team. Even Strength Offence Since Nov. 18 Player Goals Points Richard Panik 3 3 Leo Komarov 3 3 Peter Holland 3 4 Joffrey Lupul 3 5 Morgan Rielly 2 2 Mike Santorelli 2 9 David Clarkson 2 4 James van Riemsdyk 2 4 Nazem Kadri 1 5 Cody Franson 1 4 Jake Gardiner 1 3 Phil Kessel 1 2 Tyler Bozak 1 4 *Not including empty-net goals This was not the Leafs model last season or in recent years. Aaron Rodgers Jersey. But in opting for a balanced, four-line approach under a revamped management team (and coaching staff), the club has gotten away from leaning entirely on Kessel and the teams top line for offence. The Leafs fizzled out when that line cooled off down the stretch of last season. That unit, oddly, has actually been the clubs worst in recent weeks, both in terms of production and possession. Much of the offence from Kessel, James van Riemsdyk and Tyler Bozak has come on a power play unit thats pushing the top-10 in hockey this season with nine goals during the month-long hot streak. The trio has a paltry possession mark of less than 40 per cent in the past 11 games. Instead, the Leafs continue to find contributions from those like Panik, Mike Santorelli and Peter Holland. Teams that rely on scoring from one line dont usually have success at the end of the year, Horachek said. Its good growth. Its healthy for our team. Panik is a prime example of a player pushing for more ice-time. The 23-year-old has already set a career-high with six goals, doing so in fewer than nine minutes per game with not a lick of power play time. Santorelli, too, is pushing Kessel for an unlikely share of the team-lead in even-strength offence, already with 18 such points. Luck has certainly worked in the Leafs favour. Toronto has the highest on-ice shooting percentage at even-strength during the month-long run – well above 13 per cent – while boasting the second-worst possession in the league. Such luck is likely to turn in the other direction at some point. But with improved depth, a potent power play and a top unit that figures to get going at some point (though perhaps in need of a tweak), theres no reason the Leafs wont remain a dangerous offensive team. Its all the other stuff that remains a question. Wholesale NFL Jerseys ' ' '
