Cesar Azpilicueta and Willian have started more games for Chelse

CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Quinndary Weatherspoon knew Mississippi State needed a lift and was glad to provide it. He was also happy when his teammates chipped in.Weatherspoon scored 19 of his career-high 25 points in the first half to lead the Bulldogs to an 80-68 victory over Boise State at the Charleston Classic on Friday night. It was a welcome result after Mississippi State lost to UCF -- it trailed 47-19 in the first half -- on Thursday night in their opening game at TD Arena.I was just looking for openings and finding others out there, Weatherspoon said. I was trying to create for others.The result was a satisfying win for the Bulldogs (2-1), who will face UTEP for fifth place in the eight-team tournament.We did a really good job bouncing back, Mississippi State coach Ben Howland said.Weatherspoon was a main reason why.After Boise State tied the game at 18-all , Weatherspoon scored 11 straight points to help the Bulldogs build a six-point lead, 29-23.In the second half, all the Bulldogs got involved and grew the lead to 19 points on Weatherspoons steal and breakaway dunk.Boise State (1-2) could not get closer than eight points the rest of the way.Tyson Carter added 15 points for Mississippi State, who had all five starters go for double figures.Weatherspoon topped his old scoring mark of 24 points set against Vanderbilt last February.Boise State coach Leon Rice said his team struggled with its shooting touch and played a long stretch of the first half without starting forward Nick Duncan, who took an elbow to the head and needed seven stitches to close up a bloody gash.We hung in there, but with Nick going out and the foul trouble, it was difficult, he said.Weatherspoon, a quick, 6-foot-4 sophomore, made nine of 12 shots and added four steals and four rebounds.Chandler Hutchison and Paris Austin had 13 points each to top Boise State.BIG PICTUREMississippi State recovered from an awful effort against UCF -- the Bulldogs trailed by 28 points in the first half -- to defeat Boise State. There are still plenty of issues that need attention, however. The Bulldogs settled for way too many outside shots (they were just 2 of 15 from behind the arc the first 20 minutes) and post players Schneider Herard, Aric Holman and E.J. Datcher all struggled with their touch around the basket, combining to go 6 of 15 from the field against the Broncos.Boise State needs to find a second option when prime scorer Hutchison is off target, out of synch or on the bench with foul trouble as he was against Mississippi State. No one rose to the occasion for Boise State.HEY, I KNOW YOUThe Mississippi State-UTEP matchup will reunite good friends and L.A. rivals in Bulldogs coach Ben Howland and Miners coach Tim Floyd -- who battled each other in the West Coast, Howland as UCLAs coach and Floyd as USC leader. Its going to be a tough game, Howland said.INJURY WORRYQuinndary Weatherspoon went to the bench holding his left wrist. But after a quick look and some tape, Weatherspoon returned to the court. Despite the ice pack on his wrist, Weatherspoon said hed be ready to go for Sundays game.ITS NEVER OVERAfter Nick Duncan was stitched up, he returned to the court in a large, maroon bandage that looked like Sylvester Stallones famous head band worn by his Rambo character in First Blood. Yeah, it was kind of stylish, he said of his head band.UP NEXTMississippi State will play UTEP for fifth place at the Charleston Classic on Sunday.Boise State will play Western Michigan -- an all-Broncos matchup -- for seventh place at the Charleston Classic on Sunday.

The third-ranked Ivanovic, who won the event in 2008 and 10, served five aces and broke Wickmayer, also a former winner in 2009, five times.

A stunning Jesse Lingard strike looked to have won Louis van Gaals side all three points but - after a flurry of chances at either end - a climatic finish saw Costa snatch a point for the hosts. Here, we take a look at the major talking points from the game - and what the result means for both sides... Uniteds top-four hopes dented Louis van Gaal and Ryan Giggs show their frustration at Chelseas leveller It is unbelievable that we dont reward ourselves, said a frustrated Louis van Gaal after watching his side pegged back in the final moments against Chelsea.Victory would have moved United to within four points of the Champions League qualifying spots but instead Van Gaal was left blasting his sides wastefulness in attack and lack of composure in defence after Costas late leveller.United had 17 shots on goal and really should have added to Lingards superb opener. But instead, they are facing a six-point gap to fourth-placed Manchester City and a surely insurmountable 12-point deficit on leaders Leicester.When you are playing well and not making the gap [on the top four] smaller, its frustrating, said Van Gaal.Terry denied penalty - and contract talks John Terry celebrates with Costa On his first return to Stamford Bridge since announcing he may be leaving the club this summer, John Terry was given a heros welcome by the Chelsea fans. They would have lifted the roof off had his first-half strike flashed into the net, rather than cannoned off Daley Blinds arm.In the end, United escaped without a penalty awarded against them and Terry was denied his moment. Chelsea fans paid tribute to skipper John Terry After the game, Terry revealed he has no communication with the club at the moment but, typically, remains focused on the teams performances on the field. Chelseas reluctance to open negotiations with their soon-to-be-out-of-contract skipper has left Graeme Souness bemused.I cannot believe John Terry wont be there next year, said the Sky Sports pundit. I cant think of one reason why they wouldnt want him here. If its solely down to football reasons he has to be here. It would be a mistake at every level if you get rid of John Terry. John Terry says there has been no recent dialogue with Chelsea about a new deal but he still hopes to stay Costa does it again for HiddinkDiego Costas transformation under Guus Hiddink has been quite remarkable. The Spain strikers injury-time equaliser against Manchester United was his sixth goal in his last seven Premier League games. Hed managed just three in his previous 14 this season.No doubbt the simultaneous return to form of Cesc Fabregas has helped.dddddddddddd The international team-mates combined for Costas goal on Sunday, just as they had for the strikers goal against Everton in the previous home game. Fabregas back on form Cesc Fabregas made more passes than any other player (65) with an 87.7 per cent passing accuracy. However, much like Chelseas unbeaten run under Hiddink - which has now stretched to 11 games - its winning that counts. The Dutchman is still to oversee a home win in his second stint in charge and the Blues remain in the bottom half, after recording a fourth home draw in a row for the first time in Premier League history.Both keepers impress David de Gea and his opposite number Thibaut Courtois impressed on Sunday For all of the problems Chelsea and Manchester United face, they can at least rely on their world-class goalkeepers.Thibaut Courtois was forced into six saves during the match, including a stunner to deny Anthony Martial and a couple of impressive stops from Rooney and Lingard efforts.At the other end, David de Gea parried powerful efforts from Branislav Ivanovic and Cesc Fabregas before stopping Costas near-post effort at the death.We saw some fantastic saves today, said Sky Sports Alan Smith. Courtois pulled off a stunner in the first-half, while De Gea knows hes one of the best and his reactions are second to none.Zouma injury opens a spot for Cahill Kurt Zouma is treated after injuring his knee A nasty-looking injury to Kurt Zouma marred an entertaining game. Only Cesar Azpilicueta and Willian have started more games for Chelsea in the Premier League this season, but the France international seems set for a significant spell out after landing awkwardly on his right leg.[On Monday] we will know more, Hiddink said after the game. But if you have this injury then its bad. Lets see. Its a hyper extension and thats always bad. I had the same problem once and it hurts a lot. We will see tomorrow. Gus Hiddink says the injury suffered by Kurt Zouma does not look good Zoumas absence may hand Gary Cahill an opportunity, though. The England international was awarded a four-year contract in December but has only started one Premier League game since Hiddink took charge.He had only been on the field for two minutes when Lingard scored for United - with England boss Roy Hodgson watching on - but is now likely to be presented with a run of games in which to convince his managers for both club and country that he still has plenty to offer.
