MIAMI — Over the years, the Miami Heat have seen Josh Smith put up some big games against them, and more than a few clunkers as well.

Now the Heat wouldn't mind seeing what he does in their colors.

Heat guard Dwyane Wade said Tuesday that he's supporting the team's quest to add Smith, who became available somewhat unexpectedly earlier this week when the Detroit Pistons — who signed him to a four-year, $54 million deal in July 2013 — waived the small forward.

BOCA RATON, Fla. — Quarterback Rakeem Cato and receiver Tommy Shuler have played together since high school, so they were able to communicate without a lot of conversation Tuesday in their final game for Marshall.“We don't need to talk,” Shuler said. “Just a head nod.”What does a head nod mean?“I'm open.”He was, time and time again. Shuler and Cato capped their careers with record-setting performances in the inaugural Boca Raton Bowl to help Marshall beat Northern Illinois 52-23.Cato tied an NCAA mark for touchdown passes, threw for three scores and was voted the most valuable player. Shuler had 18 receptions for 185 yards.

SAN DIEGO — Austin Grebe kicked a 24-yard field goal with 1 minute, 27 seconds left and Navy beat San Diego State 17-16 in the sloppy Poinsettia Bowl on Tuesday night after Donny Hageman was wide right on a 34-yard field goal attempt with 20 seconds left.Hageman had made his first three field goal attempts for the Aztecs.The winning drive was set up when Donnel Pumphrey, who earlier set San Diego State's single-season rushing record, fumbled at midfield.Fullback Chris Swain converted on fourth-and-1 and Ryan Williams-Jenkins took a pitch and ran 28 yards to help set up the game-winner by Grebe.
