TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Unlike last seasons 32-point victory for Dayton, this one went down to the wire.Ryan Mikesell made his second 3-pointer of the game with 76 seconds left and Dayton beat Alabama 77-72 on Tuesday.That was a big shot, a really big shot for him, Dayton coach Archie Miller said. Hes a tough-minded kid, hes got guts and I knew when he shot it he would have a chance to make it just because of who he is as a competitor.Alabama coach Avery Johnson called his last timeout to set up a tying 3-point play with 19.5 seconds remaining, but Corban Collins open attempt from the corner was off the mark.Coach Johnson did a really good job of drawing up a play to get us open, Collins said. I just had to take my time and I rushed it a little bit. But like coach said, its something we can look at in film and fix, and next time we see that situation we know how to handle it better.Scoochie Smith made three of Daytons nine 3-pointers and scored 20 points. Charles Cooke had 19 points and 10 rebounds for Dayton (2-0), which connected on 24 of 44 shots from the floor while Alabama made only 23 of 59 (39 percent). Mikesell and Josh Cunningham each scored 12 points.Really, really hard fought game, especially early in the season to come out on the road and find a way to get a win was big for our group, Miller said.Collins and Braxton Key scored 15 points apiece for the Crimson Tide (1-1), which outrebounded the Flyers 40-28, including 18-5 on the offense end. Dazon Ingram had 14 points and seven assists.Where we wouldve lost the game, obviously would have been on the glass, Miller said. Obviously we could not rebound the ball like a college basketball team today so thats something were going to take into account.BIG PICTUREDayton: The Flyers found themselves one spot outside the Top 25 this week, but with a win over the Crimson Tide, Dayton could be poised to move up next week.Alabama: The Crimson Tide lost to Dayton for the second consecutive year and must now wait for another chance to prove itself on a national stage.INJURY REPORTDaytons Josh Cunningham was fouled on a one-handed dunk to give his team a four-point lead in the final three seconds. He suffered an injury which knocked him out of the game and Miller said afterward that Cunningham could miss time due to knee and ankle injuries.FRESHMAN STANDOUTKey scored 10 of his 15 points in the second half for Alabama and he had a team-high six rebounds.NEXT UPDayton: The Flyers will return home, where they are 15-3 since the start of last season, and will face Saint Marys on Saturday.Alabama: After having its 16-game home winning streak against non-conference competition snapped, Alabama will attempt to start a new streak on Friday when it hosts Ball State.Nolan Arenado Jersey . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web.

Detroit and Boston are deadlocked, 1-1, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland could be forgiven if he was caught rationalizing instead of dissecting how his club could blow a 5-1 lead late in Game 2.Romain Grosjean has been given a new chassis for the Monaco GP by his Haas team.After scoring points in the first two races of the season, the team have struggled over the last month, culminating in an irate Grosjean describing his car as undriveable during the Chinese GP when he finished just 19th.The team have now heeded Grosjeans complaints - with the Frenchman still unhappy with how the front end of his car behaved in Barcelona two weeks ago - by providing him with a new chassis for this weeks Monaco GP. Everyone is trying to get the chassis to what it was, Grosjean told Sky Sports News HQ.We changed the chassis to come here to make sure there is no doubt about it, and we did some good testing in Barcelona after the race, so Im hopeful I can jump in the car, get some good sensations, and come back for a good grand prix. Team-mate Esteban Gutierrez, who has yet to score a point since returning to F1 with the Haas outfit, will continue with his previous hub.Grosjean, meanwhile, will wear a helmet dedicated to the memory of Jules Bianchi, the former Marussia driver who died last July from injuries sustained at the 2014 Japanese GP, this weekend. Five monthss before his crash at Suzuka, Bianchi had scored Manors first points in F1 at the 2014 Monaco GP.dddddddddddd.Jules is still one of us, said Grosjean. He was a good friend. He did an amazing race here back in 2014, he scored the only two points for Marussia. I wish I could have gone for the full [helmet] design, but the rules changed a little bit.Hes always with me on the helmet and I want to keep it [that way] until the end of my career. He was a friend, he was a young man, and he was a very talented driver. But, more than that, he was just a really good person to know. Asked if F1 should consider renaming a corner in memory of the popular Frenchman, Grosjean replied: It would be nice. His dad is starting a foundation to help finance the knowledge in go-karts, helping people to understand the safety and so on. It would be nice to have a corner named after Jules as well, Id be the first to go there.Also See:Get tickets to SilverstoneSky F1: Every race live in 2016When is the Monaco GP on Sky F1?Can Hamilton break his Monaco hoodoo?
