ATLANTA -- First-year Georgia Tech coach Josh Pastner saw another positive step in the growth of center Ben Lammers on Sunday afternoon.Lammers had 12 points and 13 rebounds for his sixth double-double of the season and Georgia Tech routed Alcorn State 74-50 Sunday at McCamish Pavilion.When I first saw Ben in April when I first got the job and had our first workout, I was like, `Man, hes got some talent but he has a long way to go, Pastner said. To his credit, hes gotten better and better and better.The 6-foot-10 junior was 5-for-7 from the field and had six offensive rebounds and one blocked shot for the Yellow Jackets, who won their second-straight game. Lammers played only 20 minutes and didnt return to the court for the final 6:39.He got after it, Alcorn coach Montez Robinson said. He gets his hands on a lot of things.Georgia Tech (6-3) had three others in double figures: Josh Okogie with 14 points and three steals, Tadric Jackson with 14 points, and Quinton Stephens with 11 points and eight rebounds.Good win, especially coming after finals, Pastner said. I know its been a long layoff for us, 10 days, but we found a way to get a good win and kind of validated the Virginia Commonwealth win (on Dec. 7).Alcorn State (2-7) lost its fifth-straight game. The Braves were led by A.J. Mosby with 16 points, including four 3-pointers, and Reginal Johnson with 15 points and five reboundsGeorgia Tech came out and played well, Robinson said. They really got us out of what we wanted to run. They had a great plan for our guys. We tried to battle through it but just could never get over the hump.Alcorn State was able to hang around for the early part of the first half because of its 3-point success. The Braves were within 18-12 when Denzel Dulin made a 3-pointer with 11:28 left in the first half.But Georgia Tech responded with a 12-2 run that included back-to-back dunks from Jackson and Lammers, as well as a three-point play from Okogie. The run gave the Yellow Jackets a 30-14 lead with 6:00 left in the half.Georgia Tech led 39-22 at the half. Alcorn stayed close because of its 3-point success, hitting 6 of 7, and because it scored 11 points off seven Georgia Tech turnovers.Defensively they hit those 3s in the first half but we did force them into 21 turnovers, Pastner said. Weve still got some things to work on.BIG PICTUREGeorgia Tech: Freshman Josh Okogie scored a career-low three points in his last game, but equaled that by making a three-point play on the first possession of the game. He finished with 14.Alcorn State: Leading scorer Reginal Johnson didnt score his first basket until the 16:31 mark of the second half. He was denied the ball by the Georgia Tech defense and didnt take a shot in the first half.

There were some critical errors by some young players.Third down woes, on offense and defense, plagued the team, as did missed tackles and, on one big play, blown coverage by a rookie.Nothing to the point that cant be corrected, Arians said. It was not talent.General manager Steve Keim was much harsher in his assessment.You wake up Monday morning with a loss, youre angry, disappointed, embarrassed, and thats the way we should all feel, he said in his weekly radio appearance. Just didnt get it done, and a lot of reasons why we didnt get it done. And that needs to improve. Thats certainly unacceptable.Still, Arizona had a chance to win it but Chandler Catanzaro missed a 47-yard field goal in the final minute. The snap from rookie Kameron Canady was a bit low. Holder Drew Butler said he trapped the ball and spotted it a few inches from where it was supposed to be.That probably threw the timing off a little bit, Butler said. ... But me and Cat (Catanzaro) have a job to do and Ill definitely take some blame on that one. I wish we could have put it through for our teammates. The offense did a great job of giving us the opportunity.Butler, the Cardinals punter, hurt his ankle on his first punt. Arians called it a severe sprain.It hurt pretty bad, Butler said. I thought it was bad initially but just gutted it out and was able to finish the game.He said some extra tape on the ankles that a trainer decided to apply before the game prevented the injury from being worse and he expects to be ready for Sundays home game against Tampa Bay.Arians said rookie cornerback Brandon Williams was in the wrong coverage scheme when Jimmy Garopppolo threw to a wide open Chris Hogan for the Patriots first touchdown.ddddddddddddThe guy didnt beat him for a touchdown, he beat himself because he missed the check, Arians said. He was in roll coverage and they went motion.That meant Williams was supposed to shift to man-to-man coverage but instead stayed in a zone scheme.That Patriots TD drive came after Arians uncharacteristically declined to go for it on fourth-and-one near midfield in Arizonas first possession.Probably the most conservative call I made all night, he said.Asked how first-round draft pick Robert Nkemdiche played, Arians said, poor.He jumped offside when they (the Patriots) werent even set, on a big third down, the coach said. Other than that, he was not a factor.And he was critical of Justin Bethel, a three-time Pro Bowl selection on special teams who is trying to play despite a sore foot that has not recovered fully from surgery.Justin has got to decide that hes going to play with that foot, Arians said. He was just an average spectator on special teams. He missed two tackles. If hes going to play, he needs to play better. Or he shouldnt play.And there was D.J. Swearinger, who joined Chandler Jones in a celebration dance after Jones recovered a New England fumble. The Cardinals drew a penalty for a choreographed celebration.One of the things that has not happened around here and will not happen again, Arians said, or you wont be here.Game notesArians said defensive tackle Frostee Rucker will miss two to three weeks with an MCL sprain. Arians was still awaiting results of tests on a foot injury to guard Evan Mathis. ... The Cardinals released quarterback Aaron Murray from the practice squad and replaced him with cornerback Trevon Hartfield. The move leaves Zac Dysert as the only quarterback on the practice squad.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
