After signing Cody Ross, it seems more a matter of when, not if, the Diamondbacks will trade Justin Upton or Jason Kubel. So far, Upton is drawing far more interest as a trade target from MLB teams. The Mariners, Rangers and Braves are the latest teams inquiring about the star outfielder, according to FOX Sports. The Diamondbacks have an influx of talent in the corner outfield with Upton, Ross and Kubel, but have shown wavering interest in trading the most valuable of those three pieces — Upton. Upton hit 17 home runs with 67 RBIs, 18 stolen bases, a .280 batting average an a .785 OPS in 2012. His best seasons came in 2009 and 2011 when he had an OPS of .899 and .898 respectively.

HyPar - Hyperbolic-Parabolic PDE Solver
This code is a work-in-progress. The Git commit messages in the repository show the latest progress like bugfixes, addition of features, etc.
Note: Some of the features listed below may not yet be available. They will be soon! :-)
With Bitbucket account and SSH keys:
git clone firstname.lastname@example.com:deboghosh/hypar.git
git clone https://bitbucket.org/deboghosh/hypar.git
- master
- with-petsc
A unified finite-difference algorithm to solve the n-dimensional hyperbolic-parabolic equations, with or without a source term, on a n-dimensional Cartesian grid. The dimensionality and vector sizes are arbitrary. The parallel version implements a n-dimensional domain decomposition (of course, the number of processes along any one or more dimensions can be set to one, thus obtaining a reduced-dimension decomposition).
- First order upwind
- Third order MUSCL with Koren's limiter
- Fifth order WENO
- Fifth order CRWENO
- Second order central
- Fourth order central
- Fourth order compact
- Sixth order compact
- Sixth order WENO
- With PETSc (with-petsc branch)
- Native time-integrators (without PETSc): Multi-stage explicit Runge Kutta scheme (First, second, third, fourth order, SSP RK3)
- Linear advection-diffusion-reaction
- Fokker-Planck double well
- Fokker-Planck model for Power Systems
- Euler equations (1D, 2D, 3D)
- Porous Medium Equations
- Plain text
- Tecplot (2D and 3D problems only)
The following steps should compile the code (the default prefix is the source folder itself, so the binary will be installed in hypar/bin):
autoreconf -iThis will generate the required files for:
[CFLAGS="..."] ./configure [--with-mpidir=/path/to/mpi] [--prefix=/install/dir]
make install
** A serial version can be compiled using the "-Dserial" compile flag.
** If MPI is unavailable or the configure script is unable to detect MPI, then a serial version of the code will get compiled.
Compiling with PETSc - for the with-petsc branch:
** It is preferable to use the same MPI compiler for building PETSc and this code.
** If the variables PETSC_DIR and PETSC_ARCH are not defined in the environment, the code will get compiled without PETSc time-integration.
PETSc Installation
The code uses some PETSc features that are *NOT* available yet in the official release. See here for instructions on PETSc download and installation.
[/path/to/mpi/bin/]mpiexec -n $NPROC /path/to/HYPARNote: $NPROC needs to be equal to the product of the "iproc" entries in the input file "solver.inp".
See the README file in the source for a list of required input files and their explanations.
The folder Examples contains several examples with all the input files required to run a case. Each example has a README file describing that case.

HP2E mods coming
i have a pending sale for my G650X-challenge which means I will have some funds to fix/improve my HP2E. firstly it needs a new rear drive
secondly, the fork tube is shot which is OK as i plan on calling FBI to discuss alternatives as the front end is still too soft for me even after installing heavier springs and fork oil. I have also decided that ill be doing much more on-road riding moving forward and am installing the supermoto wheels/tires and leaving them on for a season or two. This means i need to improve the front brake as it is great for off road but a litlle underwhelming for aggressive on road riding. It would be great to know what experiences folks have had with the front brake alternatives out there that would work for street riding? I will also be looking at rear shock if i don't run out of money first. I cant wait to get started!

Recent Photos of This Tour
What You Can Expect
Continue on to Wat Umong, a 600-year-old Buddhist temple built in the foothills of Suthep Mountain and surrounded by forests. The most unique features of the temple are the tunnels that give the wat its name (umong is the Thai word for "tunnel"). Inside the temple, you'll see an impressive image of a fasting Buddha along with a large stupa (a mound-like structure filled with Buddhist artifacts). Keep your eyes open for the hundreds of Buddhist proverbs in English and Thai posted on trees throughout the grounds.
Then visit Wat Suan Dok, a 14th-century temple built in a forest grove for Phra Sumana Thera, a visiting monk from Sukhothai. The striking, white bell-shaped temple boasts a 20-foot (6-meter) Buddha. Wat Suan Dok is special because of its large prayer hall and the sides of the chapel, which are open instead of completely enclosed. Learn more about Buddhism by chatting with a Buddhist monk through the temple's Monk Talk program.

This tour was amazing! We had a wonderfull guide who has told us and showed us so much about culture, buddhism and Chiang Mai. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about Thai Culture.

I am so glad I booked this tour! The guide, Thongbang Thotsadon, was AMAZING! She came to pick me up right on time, at which point I discovered this was going to be a private tour. She was an absolute pleasure to speak with and so knowledgable! She took the time to get to know a bit about me and answered all my questions patiently and thoroughly.
The early wake up was worth it to go through the morning market to get breakfast for the monks. I got to give alms to the monks and get their blessing to start my day. Next, I got to experience a breakfast restaurant that was nearby. We then drove to Wat Umong and I was able to see the new monks bless the gifts they received and do a bit of ritual with them. We walked through the temple grounds and she explained a lot about Thai Buddhism to me and took me to the monk meditation caves where she and I had excellent discussion about meditation and the monk lifestyle. We next went to feed catfish on the nearby bridge and met another foreigner who was doing a meditative study stay at the temple.Thongbang took me to the meditation center and explained how I could arrange a stay the next time I was in Chiang Mai.
We next went to Wat Mahachula, which was celebrating its 30th anniversary as a monk and layperson university. I was able to speak with her former teacher and find out some information about studying at the school in English. We walked around the temple and she gave me the history of the structures there and of the Thai culture. I learned so much from her.
This is one of the best tours I have ever been on. Thongbang is a superb guide and so caring. She ensured I had a great experience In Chiang Mai.

Shes been a challenge to sleep train bc of the vomiting. We couldn't let her CIO bc she'd vomit. She hates to be rocked or consoled in any way. She will still cry for hours.if we put her to bed. (Now it's bc she wants more to drink)
She's now on reflux medicines. She can't suck out of a hard spill proof zippy cup.

San Francisco 49ers 1st-round pick A.J. Jenkins took some heat last week when Jim Harbaugh criticized his conditioning on the first day of rookie camp. But according to 49ers defensive tackle Isaac Sopoaga, Jenkins is in better shape than Aldon Smith was when he first reported to camp in 2011.
Sopoaga had this to say to the San Francisco Chronicle about Smith's debut:
"I wish his agent would have warned him about this being a different level of training. I was kind of feeling bad for him when our first time last week he was running the hills and he was drooling, he was throwing up. I was thinking 'Uh oh, come on now. Welcome to the pros.'"
Any time a rookie shows up out of shape it raises a red flag, but as Smith proved last year it is possible to overcome a slow start.

2013 Briccotondo Arneis, Langhe DOC, Fontanafredda(6x75cl)
Bright straw yellow with greenish highlights. The bouquet conjures up exotic fruit, ripe pears, hawthorn blossom and acacia honey. Soft and full on the palate with a refreshing crispness and luscious finish.
2010 Barolo DOCG, Vigna La Rosa, Fontanafredda(6x75cl)
The Vigna La Rosa Barolo is harmonious, well-rounded and elegant in taste; its very fine and delicate bouquet is reminiscent of faded roses and, with the ageing process, tends to acquire a pronounced earthy style but with a velvety sort of taste.
2012 Briccotondo Barbera Piemonte DOC Fontanafredda(6x75cl)
Deep rustic red in colour with an aromatic, spicy nose of red fruits and damsons. Medium bodied and soft, with balancing structure to the blackberry and morello cherry flavours, finishing rounded and supple with a hint of liquorice.
2010 Barbaresco DOCG, Coste Rubin, Fontanafredda(6x75cl)
Barbaresco is a wine which demands attention and respect: for its prestigious history, which is the result of hard work, but above all on account of the splendid sensations it offers in the glass. It has a brilliant garnet-red colour, while the bouquet is complex, with ethereal, spicy overtones on well-balanced wood, intense vanilla, cooked fruit and cinnamon. Its deep, velvety and well-balanced flavour lingers on the palate, confirming the long ageing process which combines lavish nature with great technical skill.
NV Asti DOCG, Fontanafredda(6x75cl)
An aromatic, sparkling wine with notes of musk, sage and honey on the nose and a taste of just picked grapes.
2014 Gavi Briccotondo, Fontanafredda(6x75cl)
Lemons and minerals on the nose followed by a fresh palate with medium body and no oak.
2010 Barolo di Serralunga d'Alba DOCG, Fontanafredda(6x75cl)
Blood red with ruby highlights, it has a clear-cut, intense nose with overtones of vanilla, spices, withered roses and underbrush. The palate is dry, but soft, full bodied, velvety and well balanced, and is engagingly complex throughout the lengthy finish.
2013 Pradalupo Roero Arneis DOC, Fontanafredda(6x75cl)
he bouquet is reminiscent of exotic fruits, matured peers, hawthorn and acacia honey. In the mouth is warm, velvety, sweet with a nice acidity level, giving the wine freshness and long lasting aftertaste.
2013 Barbera d'Alba DOC Raimonda, Fontanafredda(6x75cl)
Deep garnet in colour with a subtle nose of red berry fruit. Soft and elegant on the palate with fine ripe tannin and a complex finish.
2012 Marne Brune, Nebbiolo d'Alba DOC, Fontanafredda(6x75cl)
Nebbiolo Marne Brune stands out for its fragrance, which is already evident in its ruby-red colour of varying intensity depending on the vintage, and is confirmed on the nose by bouquets of flowers and wild fruit, and on the palate by its strong personality and dry, nicely almond-like taste.

It's the leader's job to clean up conflicts
As a leader, is your failure to resolve conflict taking a toll on staff morale and engagement? There are few scenarios that frustrate staff more than having a leader who fails to resolve problems.
Staff naturally looks to leaders to take action to resolve ongoing workplace interpersonal and group conflict. Unresolved problems can fester and grow exponentially frequently because leaders lack the conflict resolution skills (and/or courage) to deal with the issue effectively.
Leaders typically fail to respond to these problems because they are in doubt about how to intervene effectively. I have seen many an otherwise savvy professional leader self-destruct out of fear of conflict.
Workplace conflict is inevitable. Differences are common, normal and can lead to better decisions. Here are some of my coaching tips for those conflict avoidant/challenged leaders.
— Invest in a professional executive coach. There are skills you can learn to deal more effectively with staff interpersonal and team challenges. You need these skills to succeed as a leader. An expert coach will help you develop and learn skills to engage, persuade and deal with difficult people and situations.
— Be willing to be uncomfortable. If everyone is comfortable (including you as the leader) then there is no conflict. The team and leadership learning journey "magic" happen when people get out of their comfort zone. Give your team members permission to voice their opinions, perspectives and disagreements. High performing teams engage in healthy debate. The best decisions to complex problems often result from the best heads attacking a problem from a variety of perspectives. My caveat: put a stop to any staff member who engages in unprofessional, hostile or harmful behavior. Define acceptable and unacceptable behaviors for your team.

Luckily there was quite a bit of room behind the last car in our carriage, and so I thought putting the camera on the ground with a fairly wide angle would make for an interesting perspective. It was one of many holiday photos!" The runners-up are Jim Shepka from New Hampshire, USA and Chris Upton from Nottinghamshire, England.

Your great extension is no longer working properly with the latest beta update of Firefox 38 Beta 2 64 bit. It won't allow me to name the groups anymore. It's some kind of bug with creating a new group or something. I think it was working fine in 38 Beta 1, but something must've changed in Beta 2. Please fix this if possible. Thanks!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.1.11.1-signed). This user has a previous review of this add-on.
Have you used it with the Beta version? Have you used it with Fire Gestures? Set it up to where drawing up closes tabs, then close a bunch of tabs. It works fine for awhile, but every now and then it messes up and has some kind of graphical glitch or something. All I know is since I've uninstalled it, it hasn't happened. I wish I took a screenshot of it, but I didn't. I might have to re-install it to show you what I mean, but it's a really random thing.This user has 6 previous reviews of this add-on.
I had to un-install it. Too many graphical bugs pop-up from time to time. Glad it's back from the dead, but it still needs work. It's hard to describe what I mean, but little UI issues pop-up from time to time. It could have something to do with using FireGestures with it, or some other extension. It seems the issue is with the re-drawing of the screen when closing tabs. It only seems to happen once in awhile, so it's hard to re-create. Basically, the Tabs UI becomes distorted. It overlaps onto itself. The only way to fix it is to restart Firefox. I am using Firefox 36 Beta 9, so maybe it being Beta has something to do with it. I don't have this issue with TabGroups Helper, though.This user has other reviews of this add-on.
Thanks for replying again, but that code is not working for larger fonts on the right click move to group menu. Also, one last thing: Do you have a user style for the TabGroups Menu menu bar that is in the title bar? The one that pops up when you press alt. I would like a larger and bold font for that whole menu. The one that says file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, etc. I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!!This user has other reviews of this add-on.
Thanks for the code, developer. It's way better with just that small change!! Do you know of a user style code for the right click move to group menu as well? Thanks again!!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.9.5.1-signed). This user has other reviews of this add-on.
I second that! This is the best extension to replace the long dead TabGroups Menu. Once you add the TabGroups Helper toolbar icon to the toolbar, it's very similar. It's missing one critical feature,though.You should add little clickable x's to close tabs and tab groups within the Tabs Helper menu, or at least give us the option to middle click and close open tabs that way. Also, I'd like an option to make the text size bigger on tab groups names and the tab's title texts as well. An almost perfect extension. Just needs some little enhancements. Great job!!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.1.8.1-signed).
Can some smart programmer out there please revive this great program? My main issue right now seems to be related to the graphical interface. Upon starting Firefox 33 Beta 7, there are some graphical glitches where the blue color from the tab bar bleeds into the icons on the bookmarks toolbar. This doesn't happen with the extension disabled. Needs to be updated and tweaked a little to work better with Firefox 33+. Please save it! It'd also like a toolbar button for quick switching to Tab Groups, which was in the dead extension, Tab Group Switcher. There's already a shortcut key for this. It's control+~, but it would be great to have a toolbar button for it!!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.9.1.1-signed). This user has other reviews of this add-on.
I'm uninstalling this until a new version comes out that gives us the option to sort our tab groups in alphabetical order, or the manual option to re-arrange the tab groups. Great work getting it started, but it really needs to be refined. I hope you keep it updated.This user has 2 previous reviews of this add-on.
Please update this!! At least add the ability to re-organize the tab groups. That means moving them manually in the order we choose by left clicking and dragging them, and/or you could add an option to right click and select an option to put them in alphabetical order. That would be great and hopefully not too hard to implement. Thanks!!This user has other reviews of this add-on.
This is a great extension that is very similar to the now defunct, TabGroups Manager, which is definitely a good thing. I hope you continue to keep it updated. Obviously, the main thing it is missing is the ability to drag and drop tabs between groups, which I am sure you are working on. The other thing is a tab counter on each tab group. That would be nice to have. It would also be great if we could organize the tab groups by alphabetical order, or just be able to manually move them. So close to perfection!! It's even working with the latest Nightly UX 31.0a1! Thanks!!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.2.1-signed).
I wish it worked with the latest Firefox UX Nightly 30 release. You can easily get back the status bar using the dev version of Status-4-Evar, so I thought the creator of NoSquint would've released a new version that works with Australis by now.This user has 3 previous reviews of this add-on.
This seems like a new and useful extension, but I would really appreciate it if you could add one more button to it. I really want a toolbar button that allows one click switching to different tab groups. Each click should cycle through the open tab groups. Use the now dead extension TabGroup Switcher to understand what I mean. Please add that button!! Thanks!
This extension is as dead as Michael Jackson. Just use TabGroups Menu instead.This user has 8 previous reviews of this add-on.
Please release a new version that works with Australis (Nightly 28). If you use the alpha version of Status-4-Evar, the add-on bar will work again, which means you should be able to make NoSquint work again, right? I hope so! Buttons can be placed there. I have AdBlock there. Thanks for a great extension!This user has other reviews of this add-on.
Thanks for making the alpha version that works with Australis! It's working great! I just wish there was a way to keep Firefox's download button on the top toolbar and have my downloads pop-up on the top toolbar while showing time remaining on my download at the bottom on the add-on bar, but apparently that's not possible. Please add download speed to the download text if possible. Thanks!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2013.10.31.22.1-signed). This user has 7 previous reviews of this add-on.
I know it will NEVER happen, but I wish this would get updated! All it really needs is an auto-sort option to put the Tab Groups in alphabetical order. If not an update, a standalone extension for the Next Tab Group button would be really helpful! Are you out there, developer? Update this! It can't be that hard to do one of the two things I have requested, can it? Thanks!This user has a previous review of this add-on.
Working great with Australis so far! Thanks!! I uninstalled TabGroups Manager. Maybe that was causing the issues. Thanks again for updating it!!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.24.6.1.1-signed). This user has 11 previous reviews of this add-on.
I had to uninstall this because of issues with Australis. I hope you guys update it soon to work with Australis. I mean it works sort of, but there are issues that make it hard to use. Tabs disappear and stuff. Release it with full Australis compatibility please! Thanks!!This user has other reviews of this add-on.
If anyone knows how to get this to work with Australis (Nightly 28), let me know. Thanks! I can't believe I got Status-4-Evar to work with Australis, but NoSquint isn't showing up on the newly restored add-on bar. Please update this for Australis!This user has other reviews of this add-on.
There is also a bug where a new blank tab keeps getting added to my tab groups and I can't close it. Could be a bug with your extension and/or TabGroups Manager.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.24.6.1-signed). This user has other reviews of this add-on.

Head Coach Peter Robson
Peter Robson returns for his 21st season as head coach of the nationally-ranked Lord Jeffs with over 200 wins to his credit and a wealth of experience in national and international squash. Robson was a top ranked junior while attending boarding school in England. He holds a British SRA record of winning the Durham and Cleveland Counties U19 championships for four consecutive years. While attending Trent University he was consistently ranked in the top 20 in Canada. He has been ranked as high as No. 1 in the U.S.A as well.
Before coming to Amherst, Robson was the squash professional at the Heights Casino in Brooklyn, NY, where he was instrumental in developing one of the strongest junior squash programs in the nation, fielding upwards of 50 nationally ranked players each year. The year prior to his Amherst arrival, the program produced over 60 ranked players including the top 4 players in each age group.
Robson is still highly involved in the college squash community, having been a member of the CSA Executive Committee for over 15 years and its president for 2000-2004. He was also the Director of the International Squash "Centre for Excellence". He is a CSRA and WPSA certified coach as well. In the off season, Robson has mentored the highly successful Amherst men's tennis team, coaching his squads to ten NCAA Tournament appearances, capturing four consecutive NESCAC Championships (1990-1993) and five straight Little Three titles (1990-1994) along the way.

Teenagers may start smoking because of peer pressure, but they become addicted to nicotine in part because of their genes.
Young smokers with a particular set of "high risk�? genes are more likely to become hooked on cigarettes for life than their peers with different DNA, according to a new study published this month in the journal Public Library of Science Genetics.
Scientists from the University of Utah and the University of Wisconsin-Madison studied DNA samples from 2,827 long-term adult smokers — including about 400 smokers from Milwaukee and Madison — to look for changes in the genetic code linked to nicotine dependence.
They found that smokers with a certain variant of the gene that codes for a cell receptor that binds nicotine — the addictive substance in cigarettes — were nearly two times more likely to have worse levels of addiction than were those with other genetic patterns.
But only if they started smoking regularly before the age of 17. The genetic variant did not affect those who started smoking later in life.
The findings underlie the importance of preventing teens from smoking, and may explain why some people find it harder to kick the habit than others, the authors conclude.
Reducing the risk
"We've had strong evidence that early onset of smoking is associated with severe addiction in later life,�? said Wilson Compton, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse's division of epidemiology, services and prevention research, which partially funded the research. "Now, what we have is a potential genetic mechanism that might explain this.�?
"Even if you have a genetic risk for nicotine dependency, you can neutralize that risk by not smoking by age 17,�? said UW-Madison psychologist Timothy Baker, who co-authored the report.
"It really encourages us to try and increase the various strategies that have been found to significantly reduce levels of adolescent smoking.�?
In addition to the high risk form of the nicotine receptor gene, which constituted 38% of the gene variants, the research team identified a second DNA pattern in 20% of the sequences that had the opposite effect, reducing the risk of later addiction.
"If you perturb the function of this gene in this pathway and push it off its norm, you can get this differential effect,�? said Bob Weiss, a molecular geneticist at the University of Utah School of Medicine in Salt Lake City, who led the study.
The study was conducted with American smokers of European descent who have been lighting up on a daily basis for decades.
Some of the genetic variations identified, however, are much less common in other ethnic groups, including Americans with African or Asian roots. Thus, the findings may be particular to European Americans, noted Baker. "We're certainly going to be looking at other ethnicities as we move forward.�?
Better medications
Further investigations of the differences between the high and low risk gene sequences may also lead to better medications to treat addiction, said neurogeneticist Wade Berrettini of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia, who was not involved in the study.
"People who have these variants may respond to certain treatments better than others.�?
Chris Amos, a genetic epidemiologist at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, thinks the nicotine receptor identified in the study may be a central factor underlying addiction and disease susceptibility.
Earlier this year, Amos showed that the same high risk genetic variant raises the threat of developing lung cancer. Other studies have also implicated the gene with smoking more cigarettes and with increased alcohol addiction.
Baker said he also has unpublished data showing that the individuals with the high risk gene variant are quicker to relapse after attempting to quit smoking.
"Clearly, this (genetic) region is important in determining individual susceptibility to smoking and alcohol dependency,�? Amos said. "It would be nice if we could use this information to tailor intervention for people trying to quit, but it's a little too early in the process to know if that would work.�?

Snow Tails is set in the snowy world of the Arctic Circle, where brave sledders compete in a test of skill and endurance. Action is fast and furious and not all sleds may make it to the finish. Huskies only have one setting and that is full speed! Hang on to your furs, the reins, your sled and anything else you can get hold of.
The game contains modular track pieces which can be fitted together to form different courses. Players have their own Dog Decks which they draw from and play onto their sled mat. Movement is rarely in a straight line as the sled may drift left or right. Losing control or speeding into a corner results in Dent cards being acquired which will limit a player's hand size.
The game features a fun and original movement mechanism.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Hollie Mershon climbed to the top of the ladder, grabbed the pair of scissors and, for one of the first times in her college basketball career, looked unsure of what to do.
Drexel women beat Utah 46-43 to win WNIT title
But after a few glances around the court, the Drexel senior settled on the piece of the net she wanted to cut off and then raised her arms toward the crowd in triumph.
Allow her to savor the moment: one of the best players in Drexel women's basketball history had just led her school to its first postseason championship.
Spurred by Mershon's go-ahead layup with 20.6 seconds remaining, Drexel rallied to beat Utah 46-43 in the WNIT title game Saturday, setting off a wild celebration at the Daskalakis Center with fans rushing the court and streamers floating down from the rafters.
"There's definitely nothing better than playing on your homecourt and winning a championship game and cutting down the net you were playing on for the whole season," said Mershon, wearing a newly made WNIT champion T-shirt and sitting in front of the championship trophy.
Mershon, named the tournament MVP, finished with 14 points, eight rebounds, three assists and two steals in her final college game.
Fellow senior Taylor Wootton had 16 points, including the 1,000th point of her career, for the Dragons (28-10), who had already become the first Philadelphia Division I women's team to reach a postseason tournament championship game.
Drexel, which set a program record for wins, also became just the fourth mid-major team in the 16-year history of the WNIT to win the championship, following Toledo (2011), Missouri State (2005) and Creighton (2004).
"This was the perfect finish for a great team," Drexel head coach Denise Dillon said. "It was obviously a long season but this team wanted as many games as possible. I wanted to coach this team 100 more games. And this team wanted to play 100 more games. I couldn't be happier with this outcome and giving the senior class a championship."
Senior guard Iwalani Rodrigues led Utah (23-14) with 12 points, including a 3-pointer that put the visiting Utes up 43-42 with just under 3 minutes remaining.
But following that bucket, Utah didn't score again the rest of the way. In the final minute, the visitors committed a key turnover in the backcourt, which allowed Drexel to call a timeout and put the ball in the hands of Mershon, who sliced through the lane for the go-ahead basket.
