New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick ended a quarterback controversy before one could even begin as he said Tom Brady will be the teams starter when he returns from a suspension. Belichick said the Patriots are focused on getting backup Jimmy Garoppolo ready for the teams September 11 season opener but that Brady, banned for four games as a result of the Deflategate scandal, will not lose his starting role.We have finally some definition with Toms situation, so our priority now then is to get Jimmy ready for the start of the season, for the Arizona game, so thatll be obviously a comprehensive process, Belichick said. Tom will return as the starting quarterback when he comes back, but in the meantime we have to prioritise the first part of our schedule and thatll be to get Jimmy ready to go.

Manu Lecomte scored 18 of his 23 points in the second half, leading a torrid shooting display from Miami-Florida after the break that propelled the Hurricanes to a stunning 90-74 upset of the fourth-ranked Blue Devils. Miami (12-4, 2-1 ACC) halted the nations longest home win streak in emphatic fashion, putting up 56 second-half points on an 18-of-27 effort from the field that included six makes in nine attempts from 3-point range. Lecomte and Angel Rodriguez were the catalysts of the onslaught, with the latter tallying 15 of his 24 points over the final 20 minutes. The duo combined to go 7-of-10 on 3-pointers for the game. Duke (14-2, 2-2) had prevailed in 41 straight tests at Cameron Indoor Stadium since an 88-70 loss to North Carolina on March 3, 2012. However, the shooting woes that plagued the Blue Devils in Sundays 87-75 defeat at NC State came back to haunt them again on Tuesday, resulting in the programs first losing skid in conference play since Feb. 11-15, 2009. After shooting a season-low 36.9 percent from the floor against the Wolfpack, Duke made just 6-of-21 tries from beyond the arc to go along with a woeful 10- of-20 performance from the foul line. Itll now take those struggles into a road showdown against one of the top defensive teams in the country in No. 6 Louisville. Quinn Cook did finish with 18 points in the loss, with Jahlil Okafor compiling 15 with 15 rebounds for the Blue Devils and Amile Jefferson posting 14 points and 12 boards. The Hurricanes trailed 39-36 early in the second half before going on a 9-0 run sparked by Lecomte, who buried a go-ahead 3-pointer and converted a fastbreak layup off a Duke turnover shortly afterward to stake Miami to a six- point lead. Duke countered with a 7-2 spurt to pull within oone, but the Hurricanes scored the next 10 points and the young Blue Devils unraveled thereafter.dddddddddddd Rodriguez began that spurt with a triple and Lecomte finished it with another, putting Miami up by double digits at 57-46 with 11:44 to play. The Blue Devils could never get the deficit under seven points the rest of the way, as they continued to miss shots and struggle to take care of the ball while preventing Miami from scoring at will. Back-to-back treys from Rodriguez and Omar Sherman extended the lead to 69-54 with seven minutes remaining, and the Hurricanes put the game completely out of reach in the final stages. Seven straight points, culminating with Sheldon McClellans run-out slam off another Duke giveaway, had the Blue Devils down 88-68 entering the last minute. Duke was far more competitive in a tightly contested first half that contained five lead changes and eight ties with neither team ahead by more than four points. Miami owned a 14-10 edge after JaQuan Newton drove the lane uncontested and threw down a thunderous dunk just over 6 1/2 minutes in. The Blue Devils then countered with a 12-4 stretch to go up 22-18 with nine minutes left in the period. The Hurricanes regained a four-point advantage following Lecomtes trey 3:24 prior to intermission. However, Cook fed Jefferson for a layup and Rasheed Sulaimon buried a corner 3-pointer to send Duke into the break with a 35-34 lead.
