New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Nick Johnson had 20 points and fourth- ranked Arizona rallied from a 19-point first-half deficit to beat Drexel, 66-62, in the semifinals of the NIT Season Tip-Off. Kaleb Tarczewski added 15 points and 10 rebounds, and Aaron Gordon totaled 10 points and 13 boards for the Wildcats (6-0), who will play No. 6 Duke in the title game Friday. T.J. McConnell also had 11 points. Chris Fouch scored 29 and Frantz Massenat added 17 points for the Dragons (3-2), who scored the games first nine points and led 27-8 before the Wildcats rallied late in the first half. Drexel junior guard Damion Lee, who came into the game the teams second-leading scorer, was helped off the court midway through the second half with an apparent right knee injury. Arizona had 10 turnovers in the first half and shot 6-of-23 from the field. Fouch had 16 first-half points, but poor shooting from the Dragons prevented them from widening their lead. The Dragons, who will tangle with Alabama Friday in the consolation game, were up 41-38 with under 12 minutes left, but Massenat appeared to turn his left ankle after driving in for a layup. He came back into the game a short time later. Lee was hurt after landing awkwardly on his follow-through of a jump shot. He remained on the court wincing in pain and holding his right knee until being helped to the locker room with 10:15 remaining. Despite the injuries, the Dragons went ahead 45-44 with just over eight minutes left on a Fouch jumper. A dunk from Tarczewski and a 3-pointer from Johnson gave the Wildcats a 49-45 lead. They widened the margin to 59-49 following a 3-pointer from McConnell with under two minutes left, and Arizona sank enough free throws down the stretch. Arizona had five turnovers before five minutes expired in the game. The Dragons took advantage, and two free throws from Fouch capped the opening 9-0 burst. His 3-pointer made it 27-8 with nearly seven minutes left in the half. The Wildcats scored the next 11 points and were within 29-20 at the half. "We shared the ball a lot more in the second half," Arizona coach Sean Miller said. "And I hope that playing together is always the right recipe, because part of why we had 20 at the half, and 46 the second half, is we were much more willing to share the ball and pass it."

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Cleveland pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez nailed former teammate Troy Tulowitzki in the elbow Sunday, carrying their festering feud onto the field and causing the Indians and Colorado Rockies to clear the benches. Tulowitzki and Jimenez jawed up close but were held back from getting at each other. The Rockies star was taken to a hospital for precautionary X-rays on his left elbow, which were negative. Tulowitzki was hit by the first pitch when he came up in the first inning and left the game. The Indians initially said Jimenez would not be available for comment -- later, he met the media during Clevelands 12-10 win and said the pitch was an accident. "Of course Im going to be sorry, hes one of the superstar players in the game," Jimenez said. "You dont want to be in the position that youre going to take the guy out of the game. He was my ex-teammate. I dont want to hurt him at all. Just one pitch that got away that could happen to anybody." Jimenez recently told The Denver Post that he was upset he didnt receive a contract extension while Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez got new deals. Jimenez was traded by Colorado to the Indians last summer. Tulowitzki was quoted in the same story as basically saying Jimenez needs to get over his frustration and get on with his career. "I never talked about anyone. The only thing I said was about how the team treated me. I didnt mention anyone I never mentioned any names," Jimenez said. The episode quickly escalated when they met on the diamond. Jimenez immediately sprang off the mound after Tulowitzki was hit. Tulowitzki took a step toward Jimenez and said something to him, prompting the pitcher to say "Comee on!" and motion the All-Star shortstop to move forward.dddddddddddd Jimenez and Tulowitzki argued near the plate and the benches emptied, but there were no punches or ejections. "It was the first inning and I didnt have good control of my fastball. As you guys can see I walked the first guy on four pitches," he said. Jimenez said hed never had a problem with Tulowitzki. The pitcher claimed the verbal confrontation grew after Tulowitzki called him a name. "I take everything easy and I never look for any trouble, but if you call me out Im going to be there. Im a man like everybody else," Jimenez said. Indians manager Manny Acta said Jimenez "was pretty wild all day" with his pitches. "I dont know if there is any history there or not," he said. "They were teammates for like, forever." "I was thinking its kind of late to be doing stuff like that. You dont want to see anybody get hurt. You dont want to see a player like that get hurt and your sure dont want to get into a fight and get players hurt, either," he said. Acta added: "It was a natural reaction by players. Manhood, man! Nobody wants to back down." NOTES: Jimenez gave up six runs on four hits and five walks in 4 1-3 innings. ...
