Die Allianz T-D-P » The trainers did an unbelievable job of getting him

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Isaiah Briscoe expected all those NBA workouts focused on improving his game to pay off with efforts like this.Judging from how newcomer DeAaron Fox shook off a rough start, Briscoe picked up some leadership pointers as well.Briscoe and Fox each scored a career-high 21 points, Malik Monk added 16 and No. 2 Kentucky pulled away from Canisius early in the second half for a 93-69 victory Sunday night.Briscoe topped his previous high of 20 last December at UCLA behind 9-of-13 shooting that helped Kentucky (2-0) rally from a seven-point first half deficit to build a 44-35 halftime advantage.I was just doing whatever I needed to do to keep my team in the game, said Briscoe, who attended those camps before returning for his sophomore season. We came out sluggish, we werent hitting shots, so I had to keep us in the game.Freshmen and fellow guards Fox and Monk combined to shoot 11 of 24 en route to career scoring bests in their short careers, while 6-foot-10 newcomer Bam Adebayo had 14 points and 11 rebounds a game after a foul-plagued debut Friday night.Those contributions came only after the Wildcats endured some early struggles. A 9-2 deficit forced Kentucky coach John Calipari to call timeout and calm his team down.When youre playing so many young guys, sometimes you just have to settle them down, he said.Briscoe spoke up as well, and the Wildcats responded with steady play that spoke volumes.Weve had to face that adversity since weve been here, Fox said, but hes done that in a few games last year. We all just listened to what he was saying.Kentucky shot 51 percent from the field.Kassius Robertson had 16 points, Jermaine Crumpton 13 and Phil Valenti 12 for Canisius (0-1) in the coaching debut of Reggie Witherspoon. The Golden Griffins initially pushed the pace and had Kentucky reacting but had no long-term answer for the Wildcats pace and backcourt.THE BIG PICTURECanisius: Solid shooting initially helped the Golden Griffins, who made 46 percent in the first half and played Kentucky nearly even on the boards (39-36). But they committed 18 turnovers leading to 29 Kentucky points and cooled off to 37 percent shooting after the break and finished 42 percent overall.I thought it was a fast-paced game, probably a little faster than our depth handled tonight, Witherspoon said. We were able to move the ball and get some good looks, but a team like this (Kentucky) recovers quickly and sometimes a good look can still be difficult. We had pockets where we played well, but werent able to sustain it.Kentucky: The Wildcats also shot a respectable 46 percent in the first half behind Briscoes 7-of-8 performance and had some nice ball movement between the guards down the stretch. They were less generous with the ball compared to the opener, finishing with just 10 assists on 31 baskets.POLL IMPLICATIONSNext week might provide a definitive answer as Kentucky steps up the competition Tuesday night against No. 12 Michigan State at the Champions Classic in New York.BAMS BOUNCE-BACKAdebayo had plenty of room to grow from a five-point, one-rebound debut limited to just 15 minutes by four fouls. The freshman committed just two fouls against Canisius and earned initial career bests with points, rebounds and 27 minutes.I just wasnt as focused as much as I should have, and tonight I just started focusing, he said.UP NEXTCanisius: Visits Cleveland State on Tuesday night in the second game of the Bluegrass Showcase, an event that also features Duquesne, Cleveland State and UT Martin playing games at campus sites.Kentucky: Faces Michigan State on Tuesday in New York.

LANDOVER, Md. -- All of a sudden the Washington Redskins need help to return to the playoffs.With their focus turning to a visit to Chicago after a 26-15 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Monday night, the Redskins know full well they need to get back on track and hope for the best. They need the Green Bay Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers to slip to have any chance of making the postseason.We put ourselves in this position, so we cant sit here and feel sorry for ourselves, left tackle Trent Williams said. Obviously were not in the drivers seat anymore and were going to need some help, but that all doesnt matter if we dont take care of our business.A 2-of-12 showing on third down, two turnovers and a running game coach Jay Gruden deemed atrocious cost the Redskins (7-6-1) control of their playoff destiny. Games remain at the Bears (3-11) and home against the New York Giants, but theyll be scoreboard-watching plenty.The 8-6 Packers host Minnesota and visit Detroit, and the 8-6 Buccaneers visit New Orleans and host Carolina.I hate being in this position where you got to wait for teams to win, this team needs to lose, defensive end Ricky Jean Francois said. I hate being in that position because (Monday night) we could have controlled our own destiny now we need help from another team and I hate being in that position but we put ourselves in that hole and now we have to dig ourselves out.Some other things we learned from the Panthers victory over the Redskins:STEWART SOARS: Jonathan Stewart ripped through the Redskins for a career-high 132 yards rushing on 25 carries. It was a performance the Panthers had been waiting for all season, and it came with the veteran at less than 100 percent.Stew was just typical Stew, quarterback Cam Newton said. He did an unbelievable job this week. He ccame in and wasnt in his best health.dddddddddddd. He had some kind of contusion in his leg. The trainers did an unbelievable job of getting him back on the field.For him to perform like that, thats the type of play were going to need from him moving forward. Hes a professional. That type of run game kind of sets the tone.COUSINS STRUGGLES: Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins had one of his worst games of the season, going 32 of 47 for 315 yards with an interception and a fumble.I thought he had good time to throw it for the most part, Gruden said. I think he was having trouble seeing some of the coverage and when he did see them I dont know if he just didnt have clear throws at them.LITTLE AND NONE: The Panthers (6-8) know their odds of making the postseason are, well, hardly ideal.Without a doubt its minuscule, coach Ron Rivera said, but it can happen.At this point, the best Carolina can do is finish at .500 and see if thats good enough.Our objective is to go undefeated all the way to the end of the season, defensive end Wes Horton said. Playoffs aside, we are playing for pride.NORMAN LOSES BATTLE: While Carolinas defense looked almost vintage Super Bowl caliber, former Panthers cornerback Josh Norman wanted some more action. Mostly he didnt like Newton not throwing at him.He threw that long ball to Teddy (Ginn Jr. and) he came down with it, Norman said. After that I didnt see any more of him all night. I think (offensive coordinator Mike) Shula got in his ear. I wish he didnt because Im pretty sure he would have uncontained the beast.---AP Sports Writer Dave Ginsburg contributed.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
