CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Austin Nichols is one of several new players that figures prominently in the rotation for No. 8 Virginia, and while he arrived as a transfer from Memphis with a reputation as a gifted offensive player, hes adapted quickly to Tony Bennetts defensive philosophy.I think we can be a pretty good team, Nichols said after leading Virginia with 11 points in a 72-32 rout of St. Francis Brooklyn on Tuesday night. Weve just to continue focusing on defense.The Cavaliers (2-0) looked in midseason form at the other end of the floor, holding the Terriers of the Northeast Conference scoreless for a stretch of more than 10 minutes in the first half. Virginia scored 20 consecutive points in that stretch to open a 35-11 lead.The Cavaliers dont have a go-to scoring option so far, and even if one surfaces, Bennett said their focus will always be the same.I think this team understands that were going to have to be so good defensively, he said. Thats going to be our ticket.The Terriers (0-2) ended the drought on two free throws by Yunus Hopkinson with 7.8 seconds left in the half.These games do one of two things for you. They either make you stronger or break you, Terriers coach Glenn Braica said.Glenn Sanabria led St. Francis with 10 points and Gunnar Olafsson had seven.Nichols, who missed Virginias two preseason scrimmages and season-opener at UNC Greensboro while serving a suspension for violating a team rule, scored on an array and shots around the basket. Jarred Reuter added nine points and London Perrantes, Marial Shayok and Mamadi Diakite each had eight for Virginia. All 11 scholarship players for the Cavaliers scored and grabbed at least one rebound.The Terriers finished 11 for 48 from the field, 22.9 percent.BIG PICTURESt. Francis: The Terriers attempted 16 3-pointers in the first half and made just one, which is not the recipe for a team from the Northeast Conference to challenge a ranked or Power Five-level school. Having already lost at North Carolina State, they continue an early season gauntlet at Providence next Monday.Virginia: The early-season indoctrination of youth into coach Tony Bennetts lineup continued as freshmen Kyle Guy (21 minutes) and Ty Jerome (10) each got significant playing time and Diakite, a redshirt freshman, played 14.THE DOWN LOWNichols has plenty of company up front in 6-11 Jack Salt, 6-9 Diakite and 6-7 Reuter, and all made contributions.Jack started and had six points and two rebounds, Reuter and Diakite each grabbed four rebounds and Diakite had a block.Me and Manadi are more like finesse players, Nichols said, and the Bruise Brothers, Jarred and Jack, theyre the bangers inside.BULLSEYEVirginia walk-on Justice Bartley was one of three walk-ons who entered the game for Virginia with about 2 minutes to play, and Bennett was thrilled to see the sophomore score his first collegiate basket on a layup with 30 seconds remaining.HE SAID ITI think its $60,000, or $80,000. -- St. Francis Brooklyn coach Glenn Braica when asked what his team gets from facing Virginia.UP NEXTSt. Francis travels north to play at Providence next Monday night.Virginia continues a three-game home-stand with a visit from Yale on Sunday.

Cheap Adidas UK Free Shipping . -- Josh Sterk scored once and set up two more as the Oshawa Generals edged the visiting Belleville Bulls 3-2 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action. CINCINNATI -- AJ McCarron will be watching from the sideline this time -- at least, thats what the Bengals hope -- when Von Miller and company go after the quarterback.Denver, too, will have a different signal caller from the one who led it to a pivotal win over the Bengals last Dec. 28.In most other ways, their rematch on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium feels familiar. The Bengals (1-1) and Broncos (2-0) are doing the same things on offense and defense.They were so closely matched in December that the game went to overtime, with Denver pulling out a 20-17 win when McCarron -- filling in for the injured Andy Dalton -- fumbled a snap in overtime.That victory clinched a playoff spot for Denver, which went on to win the Super Bowl.It cost the Bengals a chance for a first-round bye, and they wound up hosting and losing to Pittsburgh at home -- their fifth straight year with a first-round flameout.The rematch could turn on the two biggest changes.Dalton is back after recovering from a broken right thumb that sidelined him for the last four games. He leads the NFL with 732 yards after two games -- a product partly of Cincinnatis inability to run effectively -- and has settled in after his breakout 2015 season.Its just a different team when Andys out there, Miller said. He has full hold of the offense. Hes able to make all the throws. Hes able to run the ball. Hes been there six years and when Andys in there, its just a different team. Theyve got No. 14 back this year and their passing is looking explosive.Theres a new face on the other side, too. Brock Osweiler led the Broncos comeback in Denver last December and was later replaced by Peyton Manning, who retired after winning the Super Bowl.Trevor Siemian has won his first two starts -- both in Denver -- and now gets his first start on the road. Siemian has completed 68 percent of his passes with one touchdown and three interceptions for a below-average passer rating of 74.4.His biggest problems have come when the Broncos are close to the goal line and everything is magnified.I think were doing some good things and were really, really close, Siemian said. Were knocking on the door to being a special grroup, finishing those drives.ddddddddddddWeve had a good bit of success, which is encouraging and Im excited to be a part of it.Some things to watch on Sunday:AGGIES HEAD-TO-HEAD: Bengals right tackle Cedric Ogbuehi makes his third NFL start. Hell be trying to block Miller, a former Texas A&M teammate who was the Super Bowl MVP and had three sacks last Sunday in a win over Indianapolis.I love him to death, and I feel like hes kind of the little brother, Miller said. I taught him everything I know pass-rush wise. I coached him up.ON THE RUN: The Broncos have taken a lot of the pressure off their young quarterback by running the ball very well. C.J. Anderson leads the NFL with seven runs of at least 10 yards. The Broncos are averaging 141 yards and 4.7 yards per carry, among the best in the league. And theyre going against a defense that has allowed the most yards rushing in the league.GOING NOWHERE: By contrast, Cincinnati has gotten next to nothing out of its run game. Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard have combined for a total of 95 yards in the first two games. Cincinnati ranks second-to-last in the league in rushing, with its longest run only 12 yards.Its a point of emphasis, Dalton said. Were not running the ball how we want to.FAST START: The Bengals opened that game in Denver last season with touchdown drives of 80 and 90 yards. McCarron went 9 of 12 for 84 yards with a touchdown and two scrambles for 22 yards during the drives, which lasted 15 and 13 plays. Nobody else did that against the NFLs top-ranked defense all season. Dalton will be looking to get ahead at the outset again.FINALLY HOME: The Bengals opened the season with consecutive road games for the fourth time in franchise history. They were only 6-3 at Paul Brown Stadium last season, losing a Monday night game against Houston and two games against the Steelers, including the 18-16 playoff meltdown.---AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Stapleton in Englewood, Colorado, contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
