New York, NY (SportsNetwork. Bryan Trottier Jersey .com) - Rysheed Jordan and DAngelo Harrison each delivered big scoring efforts to lead 24th-ranked St. Johns to a 74-53 rout of Fordham at Madison Square Garden. Jordan finished with 24 points on 9-of-13 shooting and Harrison went 8-of-11 from the field in a 22-point effort, with the duo producing the majority of the Red Storms offensive output. St. Johns (8-1), which entered this weeks Top 25 for the first time since 2011, has won four straight since a narrow loss to No. 9 Gonzaga on Nov. 28.

Fordham kept it close as the break drew closer, moving within 30-28 on a Paschall dunk with under three minutes left in the half. St. Johns finished out the frame on 9-0 flurry, however, to take an 11-point lead into the intermission. A 15-0 sequence early in the second half enabled St. Johns to pull away. Harrison deposited seven points during the spurt, with his successful jumper with 11:28 remaining staking the Red Storm to a comfortable 59-35 advantage. Coach (Lavin) stressed playing better defense in the second half, said Harrison. We picked it up towards the end of first half, thats the style of basketball we play. St. Johns maintained a lead of at least 21 points the rest of the way. Game Notes The game was part of the annual MSG Holiday Festival doubleheader, with Rutgers defeating Manhattan in the opener.

Though Ryans six-year run as head coach of the New York Jets will presumably come to an end after a Week 17 visit to the Miami, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has already eliminated one destination from the embattled Gang Green leaders subsequent offseason interviewing tour. Ross confirmed after Miamis 37-35 defeat of Minnesota last week that Joe Philbin will return for a fourth season along the sidelines in 2015. Its important for a head coach of a NFL football team that the owner believes in him, what he is doing and the program he is instilling, Philbin said. Its very important. If you dont have that type of belief and faith from the owner its not going to work. I know if players dont believe in their coaches and coaches dont believe in their players, you have no chance. But again, Ive been in this profession a long time, I wasnt worried about my own personal future. Philbin improved from 7-9 to 8-8 in his first two seasons with the Dolphins, and can get to 9-7 with a victory in the finale against the Jets, though any hopes for the franchises first playoff berth since 2008 were erased last week when Pittsburgh beat Kansas City. Miami is near New York in terms of defensive statistics - allowing 22.4 points and 333.3 yards per week through 15 games - and defeated the Jets, 16-13, in the teams first 2014 matchup in Week 13. New York allows an average of 323.2 yards and 25.1 points per week. Philbins holdover to next season was also welcomed on the offensive side, where quarterback Ryan Tannehill has posted solid numbers in 2014, including a 67 percent completion rate, a per-game average of 252.4 yards, 26 touchdowns and a 93.2 passer rating. In the win against Minnesota, Tannehill had 35 completions, 396 yards and four touchdowns. Thats exciting news for me, and I think everyone on the team, Tannehill said. We believe in coach Philbin and the program he has and everything he has set in place. The sky seemed the limit for Ryan after he arrived in 2009 and immediately steered the Jets to consecutive appearances in the AFC Championship Game for the first time in franchise history. New York dropped to 8-8 amid turmoil in year three, however, and has failed to exceed .500 in three more seasons under his leadership. These last couple seasons have been pretty tough, theres no doubt, he said. So, Id say this ones probably a dog-year season. Weve only got three wins. At the same time, it feels like yesterday. Custom New York Islanders Jerseys. . So its like, man, Im still here with my guys and I enjoy coming to work. Like, every day Im excited about presenting a game plan and doing different things and watching players grow. So that part of it has been great. His job security hasnt been helped by shortcomings at quarterback, where the tandem of youngster Geno Smith and veteran Michael Vick have provided the leagues lowest per-game passing average of 170.4 yards. Smith began the season as the starter before losing the role to Vick in November. Hes returned to start the last four games, but his season-long passer rating (70.9) is ahead of just two full-time quarterbacks - Jacksonvilles Blake Bortles (70.8) and Tampa Bays Josh McCown (70.5). Smith managed just 65 yards passing in the Dec. 1 loss to the Dolphins. The toughest part about it is not being able to continue to play for the same coach, the same guy that you learned to love, you invest so much in, and you believe (in) them, Smith said. To reset and re-adjust is a tough thing to do, but we are professionals and we have to do it. A change could be good for us all, so if it happens, when it happens, then well see. WHAT TO WATCH FOR Win the Rematch Miami right guard Mike Pouncey has struggled with injuries and a new position during a largely ineffectual 2014 season, and has surrendered three sacks and 24 quarterback hurries on the year. But he held his own against New Yorks Sheldon Richardson - allowing just two hurries - in Week 13, and could go a long way toward prolonging Week 17 drives if he replicates the effort. Genos Secret Weapon Truth told, the extent of Smiths role in the Jets game plan is often turning to his right or left and handing the ball to a running back. But, with the addition of versatile playmaker Percy Harvin, the possibilities are at least multiplied. Harvin ran six times for 27 yards in Week 13, and hell likely be covered by cornerback Brent Grimes when it comes to passing downs this time around. OVERALL ANALYSIS One coach has eluded the hangmans noose, while the other one likely will not. Ironically, its that lack of job status that could provide the difference in the finale. While Philbin has more overall talent on both sides of the ball, Ryan does intermittently get a lot out of a roster thats really not even on an NFL average level. That bunch will get itself up for one last go-round before Black Monday comes.
