The Western Bulldogs are determined not to let controversies ruin their AFL campaign of great promise.Not Tom Boyd and Zaine Cordys biff in the pub; not Lin Jongs trip to tour Collingwoods training facilities; not anything else that might crop up between now and September.And as you might expect from a side coached by Luke Beveridge, the skateboarding free spirit who has rejuvenated his club, the Bulldogs are shaking off the latest headline with a laugh.Young gun Lachie Hunter said Beveridge addressed the group once Jongs cross-town visit to their AFL rivals became public.He cracked a few jokes in the first team meeting and that aired it out, Hunter told AAP.It was a bit awkward in the morning but Jongy joined in and everyone moved forward.Trades are a part of the game. Youd be stupid to think no one talks to other clubs. But we love Jongy and hope he can stay.The Boyd-Cordy dust-up is more serious, but both Boyd and the team could hardly have responded better.Boyd kicked four goals in the VFL and the Bulldogs had a fine win at the SCG over premiership fancies Sydney.Hunter, with experience of upsetting club management after being linked to - but cleared - of betting on a match, said he was proud of the response.It could have gone either way. It can either tear you apart or bring you closer, he said.We approached it the right way as a club and as a team and clearly that showed on the weekend.Ive been in that position before, when youre not in the best of books with the people that are running the club and you just want to make it right.Those boys have gone about it well since it happened.It is a paradox that the Bulldogs have firmed for the flag in their fortnight of controversy.Hunter said their last-minute win at the SCG had galvanised the club.When you have those wins and beat those teams, it validates that belief, he said.For sure, we can win it.This probably is the most-open finals anyone really can remember. If the top eight finishes as is, anyone can win it if they get a run on. Deion Sanders Jersey . Listen to the game live on TSN Radio 1050 at 7pm et.

Takahashi, who had a 10-point lead after the short program, received 268.31 points after the free skate to finish 15 points ahead of second-place Nobunari Oda. CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Kenny Williams III finally had the shooting flurry that third-ranked North Carolina has been waiting to see.The sophomore had 14 of his career-high 19 points in the opening five minutes, helping the Tar Heels build a huge early lead and beat Radford 95-50 on Sunday.Williams made his first five shots, including all four 3-point tries, during that opening flurry. Quite a change for a player who was buried on the bench for a veteran team last year, making just 1 of 13 3-pointers and seeing his confidence suffer as a result.Ive been waiting a year-and-a-half for a game like that, Williams said. I dont want to say I knew it was coming, but with the confidence I have right now, I kind of expected it.While Williams play stood out, the Tar Heels (8-1) got a scare when they lost point guard Joel Berry II to a sprained left ankle early in the second half. The junior, averaging 16 points, came up hobbled as he drove into the paint and fell to the floor. He got up and walked slowly to the locker room for evaluation with 17:36 left, but didnt return to the UNC bench with the Tar Heels up big.Coach Roy Williams said Berry would have X-rays to confirm the sprain diagnosis and he was hopeful that Berry would be able to practice before Wednesdays game against Davidson.Well have to wait and see what they say (Monday), Williams said, but Im encouraged about it right now.The Tar Heels (8-1) were coming off a loss at No. 13 Indiana in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. They had no trouble in this one, running out to an 18-4 lead behind Kenny Williams opening burst and shooting 57 percent in the first half to build a 51-27 lead by the break.Justin Cousin scored 14 points to lead the Highlanders (3-5), who shot 31 percent.Tough team, man, Radford coach Mike Jones said. Theyre so big and physical. We played some good defense inside and they made the shot over us and thats going to happen.BIG PICTURERadford: The Highlanders, picked sixth in the Big South Confeerence, had no way to slow the Tar Heels early tear.dddddddddddd And that led to a fourth loss by double-digit margins, three coming by at least 21 points. Still, Radford isnt likely to run up against a team such as UNC in the Big South, either.UNC: The big shooting performance from Williams and Berrys injury stood out here, with the Tar Heels potentially bolstering their perimeter scoring punch while seeing their floor leader go down to an injury.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Tar Heels will slide a bit in the AP Top 25 when the new poll comes out Monday, though losing on the road to a team ranked No. 13 nationally likely wont cause a big drop.POINT GUARDSIf Berry sits out, senior Nate Britt -- who has played both guard positions in his career -- would appear to be the next man up at the point. Freshman Seventh Woods also will figure into the mix; he had nine points in 22 minutes -- both season highs -- while getting plenty of work after Berrys exit.WILLIAMS SHOTWilliams, a 6-foot-4 wing from Midlothian, Virginia, made 5 of 6 3-pointers with a good-looking and confident stroke. Four of those came in the opening minutes, the last one a wide-open look from the left wing that brought Smith Center fans to a roar.Williams said he worked in the offseason to minimize how much his guide hand pushes on the ball to affect his release.Hes put in a lot of time, Roy Williams said. I said even last year when he wasnt putting the ball in the basket that he was going to be a good defensive player and Im not sure hes not our best perimeter defender right now.UP NEXTRadford: The Highlanders host Elon on Saturday.UNC: The Tar Heels play at home against Davidson on Wednesday night.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap---More AP college basketball at http://collegebasketball.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
