. 20 Iowa State on Sunday might be for you.The Bulldogs (3-1) average
112.3 points per game and just 14.2 seconds per possession, ranked 30th
nationally according to kenpom.com. The Cyclones (2-0) tally 93 ppg and
take only 12.9 seconds per possession, which is the sixth-fastest pace
nationally.Simply put, it wont be a shock if both teams crack 100 points
and 100 possessions each. And if The Citadel is hitting a good
percentage of 3-pointers, it wont be a surprise if it keeps this game
competitive deep into the second half.Bulldogs coach Duggar Baucom
became a proponent of Paul Westheads style of basketball early in his
tenure at VMI, using it to post victories that program usually doesnt,
like a season-opening win one year at Kentucky. He also took the Keydets
to the collegeinsider.com tourney semifinals three seasons ago.Thursday
nights 116-112 win at Stetson was basically par for the course for The
Citadel. It nailed 18 3-pointers in 41 attempts while also demonstrating
great ball control with 24 assists against just nine turnovers.We tell
kids were going to shoot more 3s than any team in college basketball,
Baucom said. Were going to play the fastest tempo. We have now for 10
years. Were going to have a chance to lead the country in scoring, and
theres just going to be a lot of shots available.As proof for that
statement, freshman guard Kaelon Harris came off the bench at Stetson to
score a career-high 26 points. But the leading scorer in a balanced
attack is sophomore forward Zane Najdawi (17.8 ppg, 10.3 rebounds),
whose 60 blocked shots last season set a school freshman season mark.All
that offense aside, theres a reason Iowa State is a 30 1/2-point
favorite in this one. The Cyclones, on paper, have almost every
advantage possible.They have the best player in preseason All-America
point guard Monte Morris (19.5 ppg, 7.0 assists). They boast a huge
checkmark in experience with five senior starters, as opposed to the
Bulldogs seven freshmen and three sophomores, and should have the savvy
to recognize when to turn down a 12-footer to get a layup.Coach Steve
Prohms first priority, though, is getting his team prepared to best
defend The Citadels unique style of play.I notice they hung up another
(116) points the other night, he said. I have a lot of respect for
Duggar and what hes done for a long time. Obviously, transition defense
is going to have to be a key.Iowa State hasnt played since Monday night,
when it dumped Mount St. Marys 73-55 as it held the Mountaineers to
less than 30 percent from the field. Opponents have made 30 percent of
their shots against the Cyclones, the lowest field goal percentage
against in the Big 12.Iowa State owns a whopping 112-36 advantage in
points in the paint despite starting a four-guard lineup. With the
Bulldogs emphasis on quick pace and shooting lots of 3s, the Cyclones
could add to that margin greatly.

.J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons.
Relief - thats the emotion Warriors coach Andrew McFadden says
flooded through him when halfback Shaun Johnson danced his way over the
line for a golden-point NRL win against Penrith.The Warriors leapfrog
the defeated Panthers to claim eighth place on the ladder after their
20-16 victory at a rain-soaked Mt Smart Stadium on Saturday that finally
gave them a win during extra time in the fourth attempt in five
matches.Johnson shaped to kick a field goal with just a minute of extra
time remaining before shimmying past several Panthers defenders to score
next to the posts.Three golden-point losses to the Sharks, Sea Eagles
and Raiders in the past four weeks left McFaddens side reeling, and the
Australian coach said an extra-time winner was well overdue.He commended
Johnsons quick thinking with the clock ticking down.Weve been
consistent, weve been competing really hard and weve been in every game
weve played in the last two months,, McFadden said.That was a very
composed play because (Johnson) knew he wasnt getting a clean shot away
and he knew he had tackles up his sleeve.A slow start for both sides was
blown open in the 17th minute when Warriors centre David Fusitua went
up uncontested to claim a Thomas Leuluai cross-field kick and score.The
Auckland-based side dominated the opening 40 minutes with 58 perr cent
possession, and grabbed a second try before the break when Ken Maumalo
slid into the corner.

The Panthers and Warriors scored a try apiece in the first 15 minutes
of the second half before a pair of Josh Mansour tries for Penrith took
the match into extra time.Warriors skipper Ryan Hoffman was glad his
side didnt crumble after two earlier failed attempts to snare a
golden-point winner.Increased aggression during extra time was key to
turning the tables on their past three golden-point defeats.There was no
panic there, doing a snapshot that gives the opposition seven tackles
and gives them another opportunity, Hoffman said.For the Panthers, it
was all pain and little gain.The side drops out of the eight with five
matches remaining, but are aided by a relatively simple run-in against
teams including the Roosters, Knights and Tigers.I thought our guys
clearly didnt have our execution right in the first half but I was
really proud of our effort to claw our way back into that game, Penrith
coach Anthony Griffin said.We had better momentum and were a lot
smarter, applying a lot more pressure than the Warriors, but once it
gets to golden point anything can happen.
