NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Riley LaChance gave Vanderbilt a second-half spark, which was just what Vanderbilt needed.The junior guard scored nine of the Commodores first 11 points in the seconds half as Vanderbilt pulled away for a 75-52 win over Norfolk State in the on-campus portion of Las Vegas Invitational on Friday night.His surge turned a nine-point halftime lead into a 16-point advantage and the Spartans (2-2) never got closer than 11 the rest of the way.Riley played his best five minutes of the season to start that second half, Vanderbilt coach Bryce Drew said. He gave us a lot of energy on both ends, which kind of started on the defensive end, I thought. He really got out in transition and hit some 3s that were key for us.Matthew Fisher-Davis led Vanderbilt (2-1) with 18 points, including four 3-pointers, and LaChance added 12, highlighted by three 3-pointers.I was definitely in a good rhythm and my teammates did a good job of pumping me up, and we do a good job of pumping each other up, LaChance said. I think when we made that run in the second half we had really good energy and really good togetherness.Jeff Roberson grabbed 11 rebounds and scored 11 points for the Commodores, who hit 10 of 28 from 3-point range.Norfolk State lost to a Southeastern Conference team for the second time in a week, including a 78-74 defeat at Mississippi State on Nov. 11.A lot of it was our defensive mistakes, to be honest with you, Spartans coach Robert Jones said. We left Fisher-Davis three times on rotations and he had wide-open 3s, so a lot of it was us, not them really. The overall energy wasnt how we play for whatever reason.Jonathan Wade remained hot for the Spartans with 20 points and seven rebounds. Wade scored a career-high 34 points in Tuesdays 91-55 rout of Elizabeth City State.We kind of beat ourselves tonight, Wade said. If our energy level is not there, were not the team were capable of being. We kind of have mental lapses sometimes as a team.The Spartans made only 30 percent of their shots from the floor, hitting 18 of 60.Norfolk State led by three points before Vanderbilt went on a 10-0 run to take a 32-25 lead on LaChances 3-pointer with 3:26 left in the first half.The Commodores missed their first six shots from the floor, but hit 14 of 16 foul shots in the first 20 minutes to help them go on top 37-28 at halftime.BIG PICTURENorfolk State: The Spartans werent able to contain Fisher-Davis and LaChance, and their perimeter defense couldnt stop the Commodores 3-point shooters. Vandy hit 10 treys, Norfolk State was 2 of 11.Vanderbilt: The Commodores have found a rhythm in the past two home wins under first-year coach Bryce Drew, who spent the previous five seasons at his alma mater, Valparaiso. Vanderbilt passed the ball crisply with 16 assists, compared to two for Norfolk State.GOOD WEEKFisher-Davis has looked good in both of Vanderbilts wins this week. Hes played a complete game, Drew said. We all know how well he shoots the ball, but hes been putting the ball down on the floor a little bit and hes been passing it and on the defensive end I think hes done a much better job taking pride in defending his man.UNBALANCED SCORINGWade was the only Spartan in double figures. Alex Long, Zaynah Robinson, Micah Goss and Carrington Ward went a combined 6 for 33 from the floor.UP NEXTNorfolk State visits Butler on Monday for the second game in a 10-day road trip.Vanderbilt hosts Bucknell on Monday in the final of a three-game homestand.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Tickets to see the Minnesota Vikings in their new home this season have been expensive. On Sunday when the Indianapolis Colts make their first visit to U.S. Bank Stadium, ticket buyers will be treated to a bunch of desperate playoff scenarios for free.Both the Vikings (7-6) and the Colts (6-7) are clinging to hopes that they will be playing after Jan. 1, and both are going to need a win on Sunday -- and plenty of help -- to get it done.Its also billed as a meeting between two No. 1 overall NFL draft picks with Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford (the top pick in 2010) facing Colts quarterback Andrew Luck (the top pick in 2012).The injury bug seems determined to take a bit of the shine off that showdown. Luck missed practice on Wednesday with a sore shoulder and elbow on his throwing arm -- leftover ailments from the Colts loss to the Houston Texans last weekend in which he was sacked just once but hit on more than a dozen occasions.I didnt feel as good after that game as you would like, Luck said Wednesday. December football. Nobody feels like they want to at this point. You just make sure you are ready to go on Sunday. However, Luck was not listed on the injury report Friday, so he will definitely play.Bradford will also be ready to go on Sunday and practiced Wednesday but was limited by a sore shoulder. However, he also was not on Fridays injury report. However, for the Vikings, Wednesday was more about one player that was back at practice and less about those that are missing.Star running back Adrian Peterson, who has been out with a knee injury since the third quarter of Minnesotas Week 2 win over Green Bay, practiced with the team and offered an immediate emotional lift.Then, in an interview with Dash radio on Friday afternoon, Peterson insisted he would play against the Colts.Im gonna give you the inside (scoop), Peterson told interviewer DJ Skee. Im gonna go ahead and go this week. Im getting back out there this week.The Vikings did not activate Peterson Friday, but they can do that Saturday. Coach Mike Zimmer said earlier Friday that no decision had been made.It was great to see him out here in the walk-through today, Bradford said after Peterson returned to practice. I think hes just one of thoose guys, he has been a leader on this team.dddddddddddd Obviously, hes one of the best players in this league, and he has been for quite some time. So I think just having him back out at practice in the huddle, I think its a definite lift to our guys.The possible re-emergence of Minnesotas running game could hardly come at a better time for the Vikings, who won in Jacksonville last weekend despite getting stuffed on the goal line twice and ending up with zero points in two trips to the 1-yard line.The defensive-minded Zimmer said hes just as focused on stopping the Colts running game and speed at receiver.They have the eighth-best rusher in NFL history. So thats kind of a challenge. Frank Gore is a terrific back, Zimmer said. Theyve got tremendous skill, speed with (Donte) Moncrief and (T.Y.) Hilton obviously. Theyve got great speed.Theyve got two decent tight ends. Ones a second-leading receiver (Jack Doyle) and defensively the 3-4 stuff. Weve been in a little bit of a 4-3 mode the last couple of weeks. So weve got to get back to the 3-4 and the things we do there and changing some of that up.However, Moncrief was declared out Friday becasue of a hamstring injury.Sitting third in the AFC South behind Houston and Tennessee, Indianapolis is in must-win mode and could be eliminated Sunday if it loses and the Texans and Titans both win. The Colts have won their last three road games but know a unique challenge awaits inside Minnesotas new stadium, which is notoriously noisy.Weve got to go on the road in a hostile environment, in a new venue, Colts head coach Chuck Pagano said. We understand the elements and the noise and all that other stuff that we have to deal with, that our offense has to deal with. Were trying to do the best we can to replicate that and put them under as much duress as we can.The Vikings, who started 5-0 and have gone just 2-6 since then, cannot be mathematically eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday but would face long, long odds with a loss. They close the season with divisional games at Green Bay on Christmas Eve and at home against Chicago on New Years Day. ' ' '
