BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Virginia Tech coach Buzz Williams consistently cites Ahmed Hill as the toughest player in his program.So it came as no surprise to him that Hill made the big plays in the final minute of a close non-conference game.Ive been to where Med grew up, Williams said. Hell be fine in the toughest situation you can create.Hill scored 20 points to lead the Hokies to an 80-75 victory over Ole Miss on Sunday.Hill hit 5 of 10 from the floor, including 3 of 6 from beyond the 3-point arc for Virginia Tech (8-1), which won its fourth straight game. Zach LeDay added 15 points.Sebastian Saiz led the Rebels (6-3) with 21 points.Ole Miss trailed the entire second half, including 68-54 with a little more than five minutes left to play, but the Rebels scored on six straight possessions. They hit three 3-pointers in that span to cut the lead to 71-70 on a basket by Cullen Neal with 1:224 remaining.But the Hokies went to Hill, and he responded, scoring six points in the final minute. He drained a jumper with 59 seconds left to push the lead to 73-70. He also hit four free throws in the final 16.6 seconds to help the Hokies hold on.Were trying to work on finishing better, Hill said. Last year, we didnt finish as well, and Buzz is trying to teach us how to finish better in the second half. Were learning every day.Hill made 7 of 10 from the free-throw line, but the Hokies connected on just 60 percent of their free-throw attempts (18 of 30). Virginia Tech was able to make up for it by hitting 10 of 26 from beyond the 3-point arc.If they get penetration, because of their spacing and ball movement, theyre going to find the open guy, Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. Youve got three of their five guys typically making 3s -- and then (Chris) Clarke throws one in. And LeDay throws one in. It doesnt do good for the other team.BIG PICTUREOle Miss needs to shore up its perimeter defense if it harbors any hopes of postseason play. The Rebels gave up 10 3-pointers to Virginia Tech and have allowed at least eight 3s in eight of nine games this season.Virginia Tech added another impressive win to its resume, as it seeks a bid to the NCAA Tournament. Ole Miss came in ranked No. 26 in the Ratings Percentage Index. The Hokies also have non-conference wins against New Mexico, Nebraska and Michigan.QUOTE TO NOTEVirginia Tech post player Khadim Sy scored the Hokies first three baskets of the second half, forcing Kennedy to stop playing a 1-3-1 zone and go to a man-to-man defense -- which the Hokies exploited. Sy, a native of Senegal, scored just the six points, but had an impact on the game and has a huge fan in his coach Williams.Hes like Eddie Murphy in `Coming to America, Williams said. Hes just happy to be here. I think thats part of the reason why hes good. He doesnt have a lot of bad voices in his head. He wants to do what you ask him to do.UP NEXTThe Rebels return to action Thursday with a home game against Murray State for the first of three straight non-conference home games before opening SEC play against No. 6 Kentucky on Dec. 29The Hokies are in exams this week and dont return to the court until Saturday when they continue non-conference play with a home game against The Citadel.

It was Cooks shot that Karius spilled to allow Ake -- and Chelsea loanee -- to score.We opened the door, Klopp said, and they ran through and scored some wonderful goals. So thats the deserved result.Liverpools late unravelling reignited concerns about its defense, which was missing injured center back Joel Matip, and the debate over whether Karius is an upgrade on the goalkeeper he recently replaced, Simon Mignolet.If we learn, its OK, Klopp said. At 2-0 or 3-1, the game is not decided but the way we played after we gave it away. We gave Bournemouth the ball.It was possibly Bourneemouths most memorable win since getting promoted to the Premier League last year.ddddddddddddIt shows we have still got that spirit from when we were promoted from the Championship, Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe said.Mane gave Liverpool the lead in the 20th by running onto Cans through ball and prodding a finish past goalkeeper Artur Boruc. Origi made it 2-0 in style two minutes later, rounding Boruc after being played through by Jordan Henderson and finishing from an acute angle.Callum Wilson converted a penalty in the 56th after Fraser was brought down in the box by James Milner, only for Can to restore Liverpools two-goal cushion by meeting Manes cutback with a neat finish from the edge of the area.The game looked over, but Bournemouth launched an incredible fightback.In the second half, we looked like scoring every time we attacked, Howe said. For this club and everyone involved, its made for a very special day.These days are huge for us. Wed never been in the Premier League until last season so were making history for the club. ' ' '
