and aggressive rebound- ing to go up 52-46. "Turnovers are the key," Wilkins said. "We told them if they don't turn the ball over they would win the game." A foul shot from Tyler Grine and another three from Zoppi pulled the Cards back within 2 with 2 minutes to play, at 52- 50. The Indians answered with a three and the Cardi- nals couldn't hit their shots as time ran out on the sea- son. "You get tired as you go along," Wilkins said. "Our guys are used to shooting tired, it just didn't happen tonight." Zoppi led the Cards with 12 points, all com- ing on threes, 3 rebounds and 2 assists; Mishoe had 11 points, a rebound, 3 as- sists and a steal; Hoag had 11 points and 8 rebounds; Marco Tapia had 7 points and a rebound; Busta had 6 points and 8 rebounds; Berens had 2 points and 3 rebounds and Grine had 1 point, 6 rebounds and an assist. The Indians will visit the No. 3 St. Patrick — St. Vin- cent Bruins, who beat the No. 14 Pierce Bears 91-18 Wednesday, in Vallejo.

RADIO College Men's Basketball, Chico State vs. Western Washington, NCAA tourna- ment, West Regional: noon, 1290AM KPAY. On the air Snyder, only to be told "not to get his hopes up." Washington has had a tumultuous offensea- son and on Thursday fired general manager Scot Mc- Cloughan, the former 49ers GM. As an exclusive franchise free agent, Cousins can't negotiate with any other team. He stands to make $23.9 million in 2017 when he signs the contract. If he doesn't sign, Cousins can sit out until the close of training camp in attempt to force a trade. If Cousins does eventu- ally sign, he would then likely come free next off- season, when another fran- chise tag would push his salary north of $34 million — surely more than Wash- ington wants to pay. Getting Hoyer puts the 49ers in position to wait for Cousins to play out his hand, secure in the knowl- edge they already have a quarterback familiar with the system Shanahan will implement. Lynch made it clear the 49ers were comfortable with Hoyer as the starter. "Brian's obviously been with Kyle," Lynch said. "Kyle knows what he's get- ting in Brian Hoyer. I've been an admirer from afar. he's got an opportunity to come and be our guy. that was important to Brian. We're really thrilled. We think he's perfect for what we wanted and we're ex- cited." At the same time, Hoyer, whose contract was report- edly for two years and $12 million, knows how the NFL works. He has played for six teams since joining New England as an un- drafted free agent in 2009. "I think we were trans- parent with Brian in terms of what we're doing," Lynch said. "Right now he's our guy but we're always going to explore, particularly at that position, to be the best that we can be. That's what we did with Brian. We've got one (quarterback) on our roster. As of 1 o'clock today, we had zero on our roster." Hoyer allows the 49ers to sit back and wait un- til 2018 if a proposed deal with Washington would take too much out of the upcoming draft. The 49ers own the No. 2 overall pick and nine other selections. The signings of Hoyer, Garcon, Goodwin, Juscz- cyk were reported Wednes- day on the last day of the negotiating period. Gould will replace the popular Phil Dawson. Re- leased by the Bears af- ter 11 years in Chicago, he played the final 10 games of the 2016 season for the New York Giants and made all 10 of his field goal at- tempts. Dawson signed a two-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals. Paulsen played five years with Washington while Shanahan was the offensive coordinator and played last season with the Chicago Bears. Primarily a blocking tight end, Paulsen has 82 career receptions for 816 yards and six touchdowns. He had three catches for 15 yards with Chicago last season in 16 games with 12 starts. Dawson wasn't the only former 49ers players to find work Thursday. Wide re- ceiver Torrey Smith signed with the Philadelphia Ea- gles, safety Antoine Bethea with the Arizona Cardinals and center Marcus Martin was claimed by the Cleve- land Browns off waivers. 49ers FROM PAGE 1 Included was the Raid- ers' leading tackler on de- fense and their leading tackler on special teams. Defensive tackle Stacy McGee got a reported five-year, $25 million deal with Washington, while core special teams play- ers Brynden Trawick and Daren Bates both signed with Tennesee. McGee played missed seven games with an ankle injury last year and may have been the Raiders best interior pass rusher when healthy, an area where the defense was admittedly weak in 2016. Trawick signed for two years and $4.75 million with $3 million guaran- teed, while Bates, accord- ing to ESPN, got $6 million over three years. Linebacker Malcolm Smith, who led the Raid- ers in tackles with 115, agreed to terms with the 49ers Wednesday night and the reported contract numbers were huge — five years, $25.5 million with $13 million guaranteed. Smith made $3.5 million in each of his two seasons with the Raiders. Latavius Murray, the Raiders leading rusher and most prominent un- restricted free agent, re- mained unsigned although he reportedly has a visit scheduled with Seattle. The Seahawks will also look at Green Bay's Eddie Lacy and the Chiefs' Jamaal Charles. Other players free to ne- gotiate with other teams include safety Nate Allen, long-snapper Jon Condo, cornerback DJ Hayden, wide receiver Andre Holmes, quarterback Matt McGloin, linebacker Perry Riley Jr., tight end Mychal Rivera and tackle Menelik Watson. • Raiders linebacker Al- don Smith was detained for public intoxication by police in San Francisco Thursday morning after a vehicle he was riding in crashed into a police car, KTVU reported. Smith was later released and no charges will be filed against him, according to the KTVU report. Smith's girlfriend was driving the car and she was arrested on suspicion of DUI, NBC Bay Area reported. Smith was interviewed after leaving the police station and denied any involvement, telling a re- porter, "I'm doing great. Nothing happened. If I did something I'd be in jail right now. I didn't do any- thing." Smith, who has been suspended by the NFL since November, 2015 and was awaiting a possible meeting with the league later this month to lift his ban, but Thursday's inci- dent makes a reinstate- ment any time soon very unlikely. Raiders FROM PAGE 1 from Bank of America, which helped fund Levi's Stadium and other sports facilities. Generally, these deals aren't like a loan to buy a house where the banks take over the home in the event of a default. While the Raiders probably didn't give Bank of Amer- ica equity in the team, they might have pledged equity as some type of se- curity. "The Raiders must have shown some sort of projections that they feel comfortable making a loan of this magnitude," Sisolak said, then added, "Why is a bank going to take a chance, without that? What if they can't sell the season tickets? What if they can't sell all these seats? Who repays the loan?" The state has pledged $750 million through the sales of bonds to be re- paid over 30 years from a hotel room tax that it be- gan collecting March 1. The Raiders promised to add another $500 mil- lion with money from the NFL and the selling of personal seat licenses, which is a one-time fee to secure the right to buy season tickets. The Raiders had to seek help on the final $650 million after Las Vegas casino mogul Shel- don Adelson and banker Goldman Sachs withdrew from the deal in January. Sisolak, who worked closely with Adelson and the Raiders on the nego- tiations, is puzzled how the current loan deal will work. "Adelson said he couldn't get a 2 percent return on his $650 mil- lion," the county commis- sioner said. "That is $13 million a year. They must have figured that some- how this stadium is go- ing to turn out a signifi- cant amount of cash flow to pay that loan back." Sisolak said new stadi- ums usually run a deficit for the first two or three years. "Who's going to pay for that?" he asked. "Some- body is going to have to cover that." Similar questions were discussed Thursday dur- ing the stadium authority meeting, but board chair- man Steve Hill concluded the 2 ½-hour session say- ing he doesn't expect any of it to become an issue. "The public should feel great the Raiders are go- ing to invest $1.5 billion into a facility," Hill said after the meeting. "The Raiders seem to have a lot of momentum. We're go- ing to get this lease done and it's going to work." Board staff liaison Jer- emy Aguero added that the agency has a responsi- bility to examine the con- tingencies that could po- tentially happen. "These are catastro- phes, things that are com- pletely unanticipated," he said. "Any good agree- ment considers worst- case scenarios." He added that even if the Raiders get the NFL's blessingduringtheMarch 26-29 owners meetings, the move could be halted if the stadium authority board isn't comfortable with the lease terms.
