BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- James Blackmon Jr. and the Indiana Hoosiers made quick work of overmatched Liberty.Blackmon made five 3-pointers and had 20 points to help No. 6 Indiana rout Liberty 87-48 on Saturday night.Indiana (3-0) scored the first nine points and built a 32-point lead in the first half.The game seemed like it lasted four days, Liberty coach Ritchie McKay said. I cannot remember the start.Hoosiers coach Tom Crean sure did.The most important thing for us was to get off to a really good start defensively, he said.Liberty (1-2) tried to fight back with 3-pointers, but made it worse by continually missing. The Flames were 5 of 27 (18.5 percent) from beyond the arc, including 1 of 17 (5.9 percent) in the first half. Indiana finished 9 of 21 (42.9 percent).Thats one thing we wanted to definitely focus on, no matter who were playing, play like were us and not play to the opponent, said Blackmon, who is averaging 23 points and has 14 3-pointers.Robert Johnson added 13 points for Indiana and OG Anunoby had 10 points and 11 rebounds, the first double-double of the sophomore forwards career. Anunobys energy was noticeable at both ends on back-to-back possessions when he blocked a shot three rows deep into the stands and then threw down a two-handed dunk off a rebound.Were not where we want to be, Anunoby said of the Hoosiers defense, but we know well get better.Crean had stressed the importance of rebounding before his Hoosiers seized a 55-20 advantage on the boards.Tonight, it was more about, `Lets get on the glass, Crean said. `Lets get on the glass offensively. Lets get on the glass defensively. Lets make sure our effort and energy is really good there.Crean thought his teams season-opening trip to Hawaii eight days ago had his players jet-lagged earlier in the week. The legs were fresher against the Flames as the Hoosiers hounded Liberty into 26 turnovers.We try to be disruptive in passing lanes and box out and just pressure the ball, Anunoby said.Libertys John Dawson, who entered with a team-best 14.5-point average, scored just two points on 1-of-7 shooting. No Liberty player scored in double digits.McKay was overly effusive in his praise of the Hoosiers.Indiana is really impressive, the coach said. I sat on an ACC bench the last six years and saw a lot of quality teams and Indiana is as good as I have seen in years.They have everything; size, depth, strength, skill, unselfishness. That is a terrific team.ADVANTAGE BY 3SIndiana has made 35 of 79 3-pointers (44.3 percent) with eight different players contributing at least one basket from long range. In addition to Blackmons 14, Johnson, Anunoby and Curtis Jones each have four. Hoosiers opponents have made just 21 of 71 3-pointers (29.6 percent).INDIANA CLASSICIndiana improved to 2-0 in its four-team tournament, which also includes UMass Lowell and Fort Wayne. The Hoosiers drubbed UMass Lowell 100-78 on Wednesday.BIG PICTURELiberty: The Flames have never knocked off a Top 25 team in 14 tries and have never defeated a Big Ten foe in four meetings, so its not as if they expected to pull off an upset. They can bounce back with two winnable home games.Indiana: Its all about staying perfect against inferior competition as the Hoosiers inch closer to a Nov. 30 home showdown against No. 5 North Carolina.UP NEXTLiberty: Host UMass Lowell on Monday.Indiana: At Fort Wayne on Tuesday.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 http://www.bearsrookiestore.com/Bears-Markus-Wheaton-Jersey/ .

First off, the fans ripped the Cubbies introduction of a fuzzy new kid-friendly mascot named "Clark". ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Trevor Siemian took a big step Thursday -- whether thats forward or back depends on how his sprained left heel responds to his first practice since getting hurt against Kansas City on Nov. 27.It was a positive day, so well see where were at tomorrow, coach Gary Kubiak said after splitting snaps between Siemian and rookie Paxton Lynch at his first full practice of the week.Kubiak characterized Siemians practice as very encouraging.We are where we thought we were going to be today, Kubiak said. We didnt do much yesterday. Our expectations today were for him to take half of what was going on. He was able to do that.Siemian moved around well during the 20-minute media access period and teammates later said he was sharp and mobile throughout the workout a day after he participated in a walkthrough.In the locker room he walked with only the slightest hint of a limp.Hes progressing the right way. It was a big test today. He had his orthotic in. So, well see how he comes in here tomorrow morning, Kubiak said. Hopefully well keep moving forward.The Broncos (8-4) visit the Tennessee Titans (6-6) this weekend.Siemian sat out last weeks 20-10 win at Jacksonville when Lynch completed 12 of 24 passes for 104 yards, but didnt turn the ball over in recording his first NFL win .On Monday, Kubiak said his faith in his first-round draft pick out of Memphis hadnt been shaken, declaring Lynch has a brilliant career ahead of him.For now, hes a raw rookie learning a dense playbook, one who wasnt asked in college to make calls in the huddle, line up under center or go through progressions as he does now.Asked for his impressions of Lynchs second career start, offensive coordinator Rick Dennison said the troubles started in the second half when the Broncos went deeper into the call sheet.That became something that he needs to work at a little bit more and he will. To me, the night before the game he was awesome. He went through every call and he knew his progressions very well. He knew what the problems were in each of our pass plays and where to geet the ball on the run.dddddddddddd He studied at it, Dennison said.Thats my biggest takeaway is that he has really studied and was really working hard at it. He has made some strides; he just has some more strides to make.Comparing quarterbacks first three NFL games, Paxtons 79.2 passer rating is actually higher than a dozen active QBs who have made the Pro Bowl, including Tom Brady and Eli Manning. Its also better than Siemians 74.4 rating in his first three games.The Broncos have little room for error as they try to return to the playoffs to defend their Super Bowl title.After this weekend, their remaining opponents are New England and Oakland at home sandwiched around a trip to Kansas City.Siemian, even at somewhat less than 100 percent, gives them many more options and versatility on offense.But the Broncos wont risk it if hes not able to move around in the pocket to escape the kinds of hits that have sidelined him for 2+ games this season.If youre going to send a guy out there, he has to be able to move around, Kubiak said. He moved today in the things he did. Hopefully thats going to improve between now and game time. A good day today.The addition of running back Justin Forsett this week should help keep the quarterback clean.The ninth-year running back is adept in Kubiaks West Coast offense and one of his strengths is blitz pickup.The Broncos lost Kapri Bibbs to a high ankle sprain last weekend and put in a claim for Forsett , who was waived by Detroit.He looks good, Kubiak said. Its great to have him. Hes a great kid. He knows exactly whats going on. I think hell be able to help us this weekend. My expectations for him this weekend are to spell (Devontae Booker) and play. Its just really nice to get somebody whos up to the beat on what were doing.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Wholesale Hoodies NFL Shirts Outlet Jerseys NFL Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
