Boilermakers fall in Big Apple

Devon Collier took advantage of a rare trip back to the Big Apple and put on a sparkling show for his family and friends.

The junior forward from the Bronx capped a huge homecoming with a career-best 27 points and 14 rebounds to help Oregon State hold off Purdue 66-58 on Friday in the third-place game of the 2K Sports Classic benefiting the Wounded Warrior Project.

"Most guys don't play well when they have a homecoming like this," said Oregon State coach Craig Robinson, the brother-in-law of President Barack Obama. "Devon has proven me wrong four times."

Freshman center A.J. Hammons had 20 points and eight rebounds off the bench for the Boilermakers (1-3). D.J. Byrd added 11 and Anthony Johnson scored 10.

Penn State 55, Providence 52 OT: Tim Frazier had 19 points, nine rebounds and seven assists and Penn State earned an overtime win over Providence at the Puerto Rico Tipoff.

The other day, we ran a story about the Dixon Tourism Board's website, which is hard to navigate and missing key information, particularly about the Petunia Festival. Are we wasting our time examining local tourism websites?
