FORT WAYNE, Ind.
Jakub Zboril Jersey . -- When Fort Waynes John Konchar stole the final inbounds pass Tuesday night, he did the first thing that came to mind -- tossed the ball into the air to run out the clock.The ensuing celebration was something nobody outside the Mastodons locker room anticipated.Konchar made a tiebreaking free throw with 1:19 left in overtime, DeAngelo Stewart scored his only points on the last two foul shots of the game, and Konchars steal secured the biggest victory in school history: Fort Wayne 71, No. 3 Indiana 68.Stunning.It was special watching these guys during our timeouts and you could see their hearts pouring out of their eyes to go and attack the game, said Jon Coffman, the coach at Indiana-Purdue-Fort Wayne.His team toppled Indiana with grit -- and pulled off the biggest shocker in college basketball so far this young season.Fort Wayne (3-2) trailed for just 90 seconds against an in-state power and won despite making only two baskets over the final 14? minutes.The Mastodons, who moved from Division II to Division I in 2001-02, had lost all nine previous games against ranked foes and hadnt even played a Top 25 opponent in almost four years.None of those things mattered Tuesday when they walked into Memorial Coliseum and saw their home court surrounded by a sea of Indiana cream-and-crimson attire.Coffman thanked Indiana coach Tom Crean for even playing a mid-major program on the road.And Crean said he knew before the game his team was going to learn a lesson -- one way or another.Did it ever.Indiana held Fort Wayne top scorer Mo Evans to nine points, but Konchar finished with 15 points, 11 rebounds, five assists and that one steal. Bryson Scott, the former Purdue player, had 18 points, 12 rebounds, three assists and three steals for his hometown team.And despite getting 18 points and 12 rebounds from center Thomas Bryant and 16 points from Robert Johnson, that still wasnt enough for the Hoosiers (3-1).They just absolutely came out and put us on our heels from the beginning, Crean said. We were not as locked into the personnel and the block outs as we needed to be. If we make our free throws, its a different result. But we didnt and they earned it.The Hoosiers forced overtime by closing regulation on a 13-3 spurt to make it 65-all.But after each team opened overtime with a 3-pointer, the Hoosiers didnt score again, and the Mastodons made three free throws to win it.Right now, I cant even describe how Im feeling. Im overwhelmed, Scott said, seemingly speaking for the whole Fort Wayne contingent. I knew we had the talent to do it. I knew we had the ability to do it.BIG PICTUREIndiana: The Hoosiers flopped in their first true road game. The offense looked stagnant and they spent nearly the whole night playing catch-up. Now theyll have to wait and see how much this loss hurts them in the rankings.Fort Wayne: Mastodons fans rushed the court after the upset. The preseason Summit League favorites have a chance to build on this momentum and gain more confidence to win big games.SECOND HOMEOfficially, the Hoosiers traveled nearly 200 miles to play a home game. Indiana sold more tickets to the game and played its customary pregame video on the board above midcourt. But the schools first appearance in Fort Wayne since beating Notre Dame in 1967 wound up leaving Indiana 7-2 all-time in the city.FEELING ILLOne problem for the Hoosiers was they played short-handed. Crean started forward OG Anunoby even though he wasnt feeling well. Anunoby played just 13 minutes because Crean quickly realized that one of his best players just couldnt fight through the illness.THEY SAID ITFort Wayne: I wish he (Konchar) would shoot more. Could you put that in the paper, John shoot more? Coffman said.Indiana: We needed to make the next pass (on drives), and we didnt do that, and frankly Im embarrassed by that. Thats not how we play, Crean said.UP NEXTIndiana: Hosts Mississippi Valley State on Sunday. After this loss, the Hoosiers need to find a way to rebound.Fort Wayne: Hosts Mississippi Valley State on Saturday. The Mastodons are hoping to build off the momentum from this win in their third straight home game.

In what the team had called a retirement, Ryan said Thursday that he is resigning as chief executive of the Rangers in a move effective at the end of this month.LOS ANGELES -- Seeking an offensive spark for a team mired in last place and dogged by injuries, the Los Angeles Dodgers are turning to prized prospect Yasiel Puig. The Cuban defector was called up on Monday from Double-A Chattanooga, where he hit .313 with eight homers, 37 RBIs and 13 steals in 40 games. His batting average and a .599 slugging percentage led the Southern League. "Its exciting," manager Don Mattingly said. "He has a chance to give you some energy." The 22-year-old outfielder batted leadoff, singling to centre field in his major league debut. He wasnt on base long, with Nick Punto grounding into a double play. Puig played right field, with Andre Ethier moving to centre in place of injured Matt Kemp, who is on the disabled list with a strained hamstring. Left fielder Carl Crawford went on the DL on Monday with a strained hamstring. "I was really excited," Puig said through a translator about his reaction to being called up. "I want to help the Dodgers win and fight the battle." Puig takes the roster spot of right-hander Matt Magill, who was returned to the minors following a spot start on Sunday. Los Angeles also promoted Stephen Fife from Triple-A Albuquerque, and he started Monday night against San Diego in place of Chris Capuano. Puig signed a $42 million, seven-year contract with the Dodgers last June. He showed signs of living up to the hype in spring training, hitting .517 with three homers and 11 RBIs in 27 games before he was sent to the minors. With Crawford, Kemp and Ethier starting, there wasnt going to be playing time for Puig. Now with two-thirds of the outfield hurt, tthats no longer a problem.

"Were going to have a guy that possibly makes some mistakes. If he does, hopefully he doesnt make the same mistake twice." Mattingly compared Puig to former major leaguer Bo Jackson because the 6-foot-3, 245-pounders body reminds him of an NFL running back. "He does so many things," the manager said, citing Puigs "raw speed, power, energy." Dodgers fans arent the only ones curious about Puig. "Hes very talented. Hes got a lot of tools," San Diego Padres manager Bud Black said before Monday nights game. "Hes got some power, hes got some speed, he has a good throwing arm. It looks like he can hit." Whether Puig plays well enough to stick around or this becomes nothing more than a brief taste of the majors remains to be seen. The Dodgers will be looking for evidence of maturity on the part of Puig, who was arrested in April for driving 97 mph in a 50-mph zone in Chattanooga, Tenn. "Theyve had plenty of people talk to him about it," Mattingly said. Mattingly wonders how Puig will react if he struggles against big league pitching. "The difference between the minors and majors is adjustments," Mattingly said. "The guys who can make them seem to stick." Mattingly mentioned Puigs confidence as one of his attributes, and the centre fielder had it on display. "Finally made it to the major leagues," he said. "I know I can help the team play."
