ile benefiting from the return of key players whod been injur

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana forward Collin Hartman injured his left during a non-contact workout.Coach Tom Crean said Wednesday that the injury was still being evaluated.Hartman, a 6-foot-7 senior from Indianapolis, has played a key role for the Hoosiers each of the past two seasons, especially on defense.Last season, he started 24 times in 35 appearances and averaged 5.0 points and 3.1 rebounds on a team that reached the Sweet 16. As a sophomore, Hartman started 12 of 32 games and shot 50 percent from the field and 47.5 percent from 3-point range as he averaged 4.8 points and 3.1 rebounds.Hartman tore the ACL in his right knee after his freshman season, in 2013-14, but returned to the court at the start of his sophomore year.Kd Shoes For Sale .

The nimble-footed quarterback got his wish, dashing through the snow and a weary defence all the way into the NCAA record book.NEW ORLEANS -- Saints linebacker Craig Robertson sounded confident that he knew the main reason why New Orleans looked as locked-in as the club has been all season during a lopsided victory over Los Angeles Rams.It wasnt because of a motivational speech. It wasnt because of a desire to show up a certain former Saints defensive coordinator now serving in the same capacity in Los Angeles.And it wasnt because the Saints have adopted as their theme song The Circle of Life from the Disney movie, The Lion King, which blared from the Superdome sound system after a second-half touchdown.Really theres only one factor, Robertson said. We just know we have to win. Thats it.In their 49-21 victory over the Rams on Sunday, the Saints improved to 5-6, keeping them two games behind Atlanta (7-4) in the NFC South and 1+ games behind Washington (6-4-1), which is in the final wild-card playoff spot.Like Robertson, right tackle Zach Strief suggested that a sense of desperation might have brought out the best in the Saints.I dont know how exceptionally motivated anybody was by the Rams game so much as the fact that were essentially in a win-or-go-home situation, Strief said.This team right now feels like its back is against the wall and we dont have any room for error.And maybe, for this team, thats what we need, Strief said.New Orleans has five games left to make up ground, starting when the Detroit Lions (7-4) visit the Superdome this Sunday.The recent adoption of the Lion King theme song is coincidental, said Strief, who declined to get into specifics of why the song has meaning to the club beyond saying it has to do with the position that were in and the mentality that we need to have going forward.The Saints have played in a slew of close games this season, but often struggled to pull them out. Five of their six losses have come by six or fewer points, including four by a field goal or less, one by two points and one by a single point.Saints coach Sean Payton said that with so many close games across the NFL, the ability to minimize errors and make playss in the clutch can be the difference between a successful season and a disappointing one.ddddddddddddIts an emotional game to begin with, Payton said. If you had the exact recipe each week, it would be a lot easier.The Lions, Payton noted, have found a way to win some of those (close) games, and as a result of that, theyre having a real good football season.Detroit has won five games by four or fewer points, including its most recent triumph over Minnesota on Thanksgiving Day, won by a late field goal set up by an interception.Time will tell if the Saints are evolving into the type of team the Lions have been to this point.There are several reasons for optimism, though, starting with a league-leading offense that put up a whopping 555 yards on a Rams defense that arrived in New Orleans ranked sixth in the NFL.Meanwhile, New Orleans defense has steadily performed better while benefiting from the return of key players whod been injured earlier this season -- namely, defensive tackle Sheldon Ranks, linebacker Dannell Ellerbe and cornerback Delvin Breaux.Rankins, a first-round draft choice last spring, had a sack and strip that resulted in a turnover in the red zone against the Rams. Ellerbe also had a sack for a third game in a row.And while Saints defenders lambasted themselves for first-half breakdowns that allowed the Rams to score 21 points, they were pleased at their ability to make adjustments at halftime and shut out Los Angeles the rest of the way.By games end, the Saints had limited a second straight foe to fewer than 300 yards -- a far cry from their first five games, when four teams gained more than 400 yards.This team feels were better that our record shows, Strief said. We put ourselves in this situation, but this team still has a chance to do something special and I think theres confidence in the building that we can still do that.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
