St. Francis (N.Y.) edges Monmouth (N.J.) 62-61

WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. – Justin Newton hit a free throw with 1.2 seconds left to give St. Francis (N.Y.) a 62-61 victory over Monmouth (N.J.) on Thursday night.

Newton hit the first of his two free-throw attempts for his only point of the game after being fouled while going for a rebound on teammate Ricky Cadell's missed 3-point attempt. St. Francis (9-11, 4-5 Northeast Conference) snapped a three-game losing streak.

Cadell hit a 3-pointer to give the Terriers a 61-59 advantage with 57 seconds left, but the Hawks (6-15, 2-7) evened the score at 61-61 with 16 seconds left as Marcus Ware scored after Jesse Steele grabbed an offensive rebound.

Ricky Cadell led the Terriers, who had only eight turnovers, with 20 points and Travis Nichols had 16 points.

Ware had 18 points and Steele and Phil Wait had 10 each for Monmouth, which was trying to win back-to-back games for the first time this season.

NBA suspends O.J. Mayo 10 games for positive test

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The NBA has suspended guard O.J. Mayo 10 games without pay for violating the league and union's anti-drug program with a positive test.

The league announced the suspension Thursday for Mayo's positive test for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Mayo's suspension will start Friday night when the Grizzlies visit Philadelphia, and he will be able to return Feb. 15 also against the 76ers in Memphis.

Mayo said in a statement released by the team that he is extremely disappointed he will miss 10 games as the Grizzlies are making a push for the playoffs. He blamed an over the counter supplement that he didn't know was banned by the NBA for the positive test, but a team spokesman said Mayo declined to say which supplement he used.

"It was an honest mistake, but I take full responsibility for my actions," Mayo said in the statement released by the team. I apologize to my fans, teammates and the Grizzlies organization for regrettably not doing the necessary research about what supplements I can put in my body."

Mayo's agent did not immediately return a message left at his office Thursday.

Mayo was the No. 3 pick overall in 2008 after only one season at USC, and Minnesota swapped him draft night deal to the Grizzlies for Kevin Love. Mayo was runner-up to Chicago's Derrick Rose for rookie of the year.

But the guard was moved to the bench earlier this season, starting just 15 of Memphis' 45 games this season. He's been bandied about as possible trade bait even while ranking fourth on the Grizzlies with 12.2 points per game.

Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley said Mayo will continue practicing with the team during his suspension.

"O.J. had a lack of judgment but has shown complete accountability," Heisley said in a statement. "We will continue to support O.J. during this time as we have from the moment he joined the team in 2008. He has unselfishly done everything we have asked of him, and we expect him to grow as a player and a person from this experience."

Greece to market bonds to overseas Greeks

ATHENS (AFP) – Greece will issue a diaspora bond aimed at Greek investors all over the world "within the next few months" in an effort to return to bond markets in 2011, said Greek finance minister George Papaconstantinou in an interview on Sunday.

"We will mainly address Greeks in Europe, the US, Australia, etc., while the interest will be lower than current market rates," Papaconstantinou told the Sunday edition of Eleftherotypia newspaper.

According to the Kathimerini daily, the Greek government seeks to issue a diaspora bond "of between three and 10 years".

Greece on Tuesday raised 650 million euros ($866 million) in a sale of three-month treasury bills at a stable yield of 4.1 percent despite a recent downgrade in its credit rating to junk status by the Fitch ratings agency.

Greece last year secured a three-year, 110-billion-euro ($149 billion) loan from the EU and the International Monetary Fund, most of it from the EU.

It is currently in talks with Brussels to extend repayment on this loan, though it has repeatedly denied any restructuring of its other debts.

"Sincerely, Greece can and will avoid it," Papaconstantinou told Eleftherotypia, referring to restructuring Greece's debt.
