of the Coastal. A 10-2 campaign and
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. Adidas Superstars Rojas . -- The last time No. 25 West Virginia played a major program, they came up short, 81-77 against Temple.They didnt want it to happen again, not even in a packed arena where No. 6 Virginia had dispatched its last 24 opponents.Esa Ahmad hit a tie-breaking 3-pointer with 1:28 remaining Saturday and West Virginia scored 11 of the games final 13 points to end the nations sixth-longest home winning streak with a 66-57 victory Saturday.It was the kind of win the Mountaineers felt like they needed to make things right.We felt like we gave that one away, Tarik Phillip said of the Temple game, so our mindset was to make sure we controlled the game.They did by using their trademark press that forced Virginia into a season-high 14 turnovers.You cant replicate that, Virginia point guard London Perrantes said. They do something completely different than anybody in the country. ... Its brutal. Having to play against a press for 40 minutes, its tough and they do not stop. They keep going till the whistle blows.Jevon Carter led West Virginia (6-1) with 11 points and Nathan Adrian had 10.Darius Thompson scored 14 points to lead Virginia (7-1), but the Cavaliers never got into any kind of rhythm offensively. After forcing 20 turnovers against Ohio State on Wednesday, they forced just eight against West Virginia and were outscored off turnovers 18-5.Ahmads 3-pointer was just the fourth of the game for West Virginia in 15 tries, but Tarik Phillip followed a miss by Virginia with an inside basket, making it 60-55, and Virginia ran out of time as the Mountaineers finished 16 for 19 from the free throw line.BIG PICTUREWest Virginia: Virginia was just the third major program the Mountaineers have faced this season -- they drubbed Illinois and lost to Temple -- and none of their next five opponents are daunting, but theres enough experience and toughness built into their pressing style that staying healthy is Job One before Big 12 play. Its not just stealing the ball, coach Bob Huggins said of the press. Its a cumulative effect of making them work, not being able to walk the ball up the floor and play at their pace. We want them to play at our pace.Virginia: Winning is always a priority, but so is having options, and coach Tony Bennett was trying to get both accomplished late in the game when he had freshman guard Ty Jerome on the court for a long stretch. Jerome, like fellow freshman Kyle Guy, was a prolific scorer in high school and with the Cavaliers sure to scratch for points at times this season, getting all the younger options up to speed and battle tested will be key for the Cavaliers before ACC play commences. Bennett said Jeromes ball-handling ability made having him on the court important.LONG WAITThis was West Virginias true road win over a Top Ten team since the Mountaineers beat No. 5 Kentucky 77-70 in December 1957.EARLY SHOWERThe Mountaineers won despite losing Daxter Miles Jr., who was leading all scorers with 7 points, to a flagrant foul ejection with 2:42 left in the first half. He hit Isaiah Wilkins across the face, but Wilkins missed both free throws. The Cavaliers were just 7 of 13 from the free throw line.HE SAID ITThis is obviously not the end of the world, not the end of the year. You just learn from this, grow from this. -- Bennett.UP NEXTWest Virginia: The Mountaineers go back into the stat-padding portion of their schedule as they face Western Carolina in Charleston, West Virginia before consecutive home games against VMI, Missouri-Kansas City, Radford and Northern Kentucky.Virginia: The Cavaliers wrap up a four-game home stand with games against East Carolina and Robert Morris before heading west to play at California.---More AP college basketball: http://collegbasketball.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjrhttp:///...0-gris-naranjas.html . -- Stanford squashed Oregons national championship hopes again, schooling the Ducks in power football. http:///...uperstars-rojas.html . -- In one brief spurt, Brazil turned a close game into a rout and proved again it will be a strong World Cup favourite. http:///...superstar-negro.html . The Swede became the first golfer to win the PGA Tours FedEx Cup and European Tours Race to Dubai in the same season. "It is still taking a little time to sink in what Ive achieved this week as was the case when I won the FedEx Cup but then it just kept getting better and better as the days went on and I am sure this will be the same," he said. No. 23 Iowa | No. 25 San Diego State | Top 25No. 24: North CarolinaLast Season: 11-3?(8-0 ACC Coastal)Under defensive coordinator Gene Chizik, the Tar Heels defense had the biggest improvement in the Power 5 last year, going from 39.0 points allowed per game to just 24.5. UNC returns seven starters on both offense and defense, most notably RB Elijah Hood (1,463 yards and 17 touchdowns), and four players from my second-best offensive line. Mitch Trubisky steps in at quarterback after completing 40 of 47 passes last season in limited time. UNC wont match last years total of 11 regular-season wins, but it could be favored in as many as nine games.North Carolinas chances to win each game 09.03 vs. Georgia (Georgia Dome): 38.1% 09.10 @ Illinois: 82.4% 09.17 vs. James Madison: 97.6% 09.24 vs. Pitt: 64.3% 10.01 @ Florida State: 14.3% 10.08 vs. Virginia Tech: 74.8% 10.15 @ Miami: 50.6% 10.22 @ Virginia: 78.1% 11.05 vs. Georgia Tech: 82.6% 11.10 @ Duke: 72.4% 11.19 vs. The Citadel: 98.0% 11.25 vs. NC State: 76.6%It has been six years since a Coastal Division champion as repeated, and the Tar Heels face a more difficult schedule this year, having to ttravel to Florida State. http:///...superstar-negro.html. Still, the defense is expected to be better, and the offense remains in good hands despite the quarterback change. Anything less than 9-3 will be considered a disappointment. -- Andrea AdelsonThe schedule is tougher, but the defense should be better. And the offense is simply loaded relative to the rest of the Coastal. A 10-2 campaign and repeat trip to Charlotte for the league title game is on the horizon for these rising Heels. -- Matt FortunaMitch Trubisky should pick up right where Marquise Williams left off as the Tar Heels QB, and if the defense takes a step forward in Year 2 under Gene Chizik, theres no reason North Carolina cant finish 10-2 and a Coastal Division title again in 2016. -- David M. HaleThe rush defense might not be much better, but the offense has the potential to score from anywhere on the field and mask defensive deficiencies. A 10-2 regular season will have them as repeat Coastal champions. ?-- Jared ShankerNo. 23 Iowa | No. 25 San Diego State | Top 25 Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
