LAS VEGAS -- No. 6 Maryland cruised to a 4-0 start by averaging 102 points and winning by an average of 49 points against inferior opponents.No. 23 Arizona State was supposed to provide the first true yardstick. Only the Terrapins press quickly turned it into another eye-popping rout.Shatori Walker-Kimbrough scored 20 points and Maryland led by as many as 32 points in the first half in an 83-42 victory over Arizona State on Friday.Its early, but I love the competitiveness, Maryland coach Brenda Frese said. It was a big test for us early to see where were at. Its a great sign.Brionna Jones added 14 points and 10 rebounds and Brianna Fraser scored 11 points for the Terrapins (5-0). They shot 55 percent from the field and used a stifling defense to race to leads of 10-0, 24-4 and 38-6 in the South Point Thanksgiving Shootout.Were growing. I dont think were at our peak at all, Walker-Kimbrough said. But you can see that were coming together.The Terrapins hit 13 of their first 17 shots while their press forced Arizona State into a 1-of-17 start from the field with nine turnovers.I love our length, our athleticism, Frese said. Were able to throw a lot of different looks. Thats something weve really been able to build upon as a team. I thought we really made them have to work for everything.Kaila Charles had 10 points and seven rebounds and freshman Destiny Slocum scored 10 points for Maryland.Relli Richardson scored 12 points on 4-of-12 shooting for the Sun Devils (2-2), They shot 28 percent from the field in their second straight loss.Early in the second quarter, Arizona State coach Charli Turner Thorne had taken more timeouts (2) than her team had field goals (1). She later picked up a technical foul in the Sun Devils most lopsided defeat since falling to Stanford 82-35 on Jan. 8, 2011.Weve obviously got really young guard play. But our front line has not really started the season strong, Turner Thorne said. Those are our veterans and those are the ones that need to carry the day for us.Senior Sophie Brunner, who was held to four points, committed six of Arizona States 20 turnovers.BIG PICTUREArizona State: The loss to Marquette a week ago doesnt look as bad after the Golden Eagles then won Tuesday at No. 22 Oregon State. But this one-sided defeat was a wakeup call for a team that starts two freshmen guards.Maryland: The Terrapins entered with a Sagarin schedule strength of 342 out of 349 Division I teams. But Arizona State proved no match either ahead of December nonconference showdowns against No. 4 Louisville and No. 2 UConn.POLL IMPLICATIONS:Arizona State: The rout could mean a Top 25 exit for a program that was a No. 2 seed in last seasons NCAA Tournament.Maryland: Voters had a tough time judging the Terrapins after playing four low-major teams. Could this dominant victory give them a chance to leapfrog No. 5 Baylor?UPSET COACHTurner Thorne spent a fourth quarter timeout yelling and stomping the floor as her players circled her in silence.I havent been in this situation for many years. You just have to get better, Turner Thorne said. When your senior gets scored on and just jogs down the floor, what does that say? Thats just not a winning mentality. Thats not what we do.UP NEXTArizona State faces St. Johns on Saturday to conclude the two-game, fixed-matchup event at the South Point Hotel, Casino and Spa.Maryland plays Washington State on Saturday to conclude its first trip to Las Vegas since the 1978-79 season.

Swell Bottle Cheap . PAUL, Minn. NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Undrafted rookie wide receiver Reece Horn is near the bottom rung of a crowded depth chart at wide receiver for the Tennessee Titans.But he is much closer to realizing his dream of becoming a professional football player than he was a year ago.In the summer of 2015, Horn was in the NFL, but not as a player. Horn was working for his hometown Indianapolis Colts as an intern in their community relations department. Horn said he helped out in game operations and event marketing.It was a great experience while I was there throughout the summer, Horn said.Horn followed that up by catching 108 passes for 1,396 yards and eight touchdowns his senior year at the University of Indianapolis, a Division II program. He also averaged 26.3 yards per punt return.Although he also had caught 68 passes his junior season in 2014, the Colts were unaware he was a college football player when they offered him the internship.No, they didnt (know), Horn said. I kind of told them that I played college football at the University of Indianapolis, but they didnt understand the level or what I was reaching for ultimately.So rather than try to press upon the Colts that he was indeed a football prospect, the sports management major just went about doing the best work possible for the job theyd hired him to do.I knew I wasnt there for football, so I just went there and got mmy work done, said Horn, who also has a minor in business administration.ddddddddddddIt was kind of like football in a sense. I showed up early, clocking your ticket, and getting to work. I learned a lot on the business side on how events run with the Colts, since I was there, and Im sure the Titans are kind of the same way in a sense.Theres a lot of behind-the-scenes work in community relations, getting out in the community and reaching as many fans as possible.Once he finished his senior season and went undrafted, the Colts did give him a tryout.I obviously didnt get signed, Horn said, but my agent called me the very next day and said, `Youre heading to Nashville for another tryout with the Tennessee Titans. Horn tried out for the Titans and was eventually signed on June 3. Now, just as he had to work to get noticed by the Colts, he must do the same in Tennessee.Reece has done OK for his opportunity, Titans coach Mike Mularkey. He hasnt gotten a lot of opportunities in camp. But that will come in the preseason games, where he is going to have to show what he can do. Its just hard to get reps with 11 receivers (in camp). Hes done OK. He works as hard as everybody else.---Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
