MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Until Big 12 Conference play opens Dec. 30, the most difficult task facing No. 15 West Virginia may be keeping its focus.Opening a five-game stretch against outmanned mid-majors, the Mountaineers (7-1) buried Western Carolina 90-37 on Wednesday night. Theres likely more carnage expected Saturday when they host another lightly regarded SoCon opponent in VMI (1-6).While the competition doesnt look stiff, the next three weeks will be developmentally important for a roster trying to get six freshmen oriented.Were trying to work on team things, stuff for ourselves, forward Elijah Macon said. Running plays right, guarding right, keeping people off the foul line.Esa Ahmad (12.8 points, 5.3 rebounds) leads a balanced assault along with versatile forward Nathan Adrian (11.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists). The backcourt tandem of Jevon Carter (9.8 points, 3.4 steals) and Tarik Philip (8.3 points, 2.4 assists) is among the grittiest in Division I, and Daxter Miles (7.2 points, 2.0 assists) is still finding his legs after being sidelined for the first three games by a reported illness.Reserve guard Teyvon Myers (9.5 points) has made 63 percent of his 3-point attempts, finding the stroke that made him the nations junior college scoring champion two seasons ago. Deploying a 12-man rotation, West Virginia has topped the 100-point mark three times this season without a player scoring 20 points in a game.Just shows you how deep our team is, Ahmad said. Thats pretty amazing.While West Virginia ranks No. 6 nationally at 90.5 points per game, much of that scoring occurs via transition baskets created by its full-court press. Half-court offense has looked clunky as Bob Huggins sought to gain experience for first-year players.Weve got to score the ball, Macon said. There was a stretch toward the end of the (Western Carolina) game where we didnt score for like five minutes. Weve got to run our offense right. We cant have guys out there not knowing whats going on.VMI, which is paced by guards QJ Peterson (20.6 points, 7 rebounds) and Julian Elby (13.0 points), got its lone win came against Division III member Southern Virginia nearly a month ago. The string of five consecutive losses that followed culminated in an 86-68 setback to Gardner-Webb.They dominated us in points in the paint which was a variety of things -- post-ups, just driving down the lane -- and unfortunately, our defense wasnt tough enough, Keydets second-year coach Dan Earl said.We have to look in the mirror and be a tougher team. We have to figure that out. We showed some fight, but we had something like seven turnovers the first eight minutes of the game.VMIs sloppiness could portend huge trouble against West Virginia, which forces 26 turnovers per game, tops in the country. The Mountaineers also rank top-40 in field-goal defense, holding opponents to 38-percent shooting overall.Its hard for them just because we dont let people run offense, Huggins said. And I think everybody is to the point where they see other people turn it over and you dont want to turn it over. You want to take care of the ball, so the best thing to do is to throw it backwards, and its hard to run offense when you are constantly throwing the ball backwards.After VMI, the Mountaineers host UMKC, Redford and Northern Kentucky. They are building toward an end-of-the-month league opener against vastly improved Oklahoma State.Coming up Dec. 30, Macon said, were going to need everybody all-in.Trysten Hill Youth Jersey . Dukurs winning time was 1 minute, 45.76 seconds, a quarter-second better than Russias Alexander Tretiakov. Lativas Tomass Dukurs was third, 1.41 seconds off the pace. Jon Montgomery of Eckville, Alta. Custom Dallas Cowboys Jerseys . In Europe, top teams seem to be largely happy with their squads after spending nearly $1 billion in the off-season. And although English league clubs are unlikely to splash cash in January, Arsenal and Chelsea could be tempted to strengthen their squads with new strikers. http://www.cowboysfootballgearshop.com/tony-dorsett-jersey/ . Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. Charlie Adam scored both of Stokes goals at Britannia Stadium either side of Robin van Persies equalizer, with a miserable day for seventh-place United capped by first-half injuries to centre halves Jonny Evans and Phil Jones that forced them off. Ezekiel Elliott Youth Jersey . At a Manhattan federal court hearing, attorney Jordan Siev said his law office has gotten more evidence nearly every day to support its lawsuit accusing MLB and Selig of going on a "witch hunt" to ruin Rodriguezs reputation and career. He said the defendants went "way over the line. Darren Woodson Cowboys Jersey . -- Former San Diego Chargers safety Paul Oliver was found dead at his Atlanta-area home Tuesday night, and a medical examiner said Wednesday that the ex-player committed suicide.Round One of TSN.cas 2013 Play of the Year Showdown wraps up with two dizzying plays by two talented star players. Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins shows off some serious skill, while the talented Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks demonstrates his quick feet. Will one of these two Stanley Cup winners ditch the rest of the competition and take the POY title? Charas POY entry encompasses some skills that most people wouldnt associate with the big defenseman - quick feet and smooth hands. As the Bruins work the puck in the Florida Panthers defensive zone, Chara receives a pass at the blue line, and instead of doing what everyone watching thought he was going to do (hello slapshot!), Chara pulls out size-defying move, shedding his coverage and finishing the play off with a sensational backhand. If we learn anything from this POY candidate, let it be that Chara is pretty nimble for a big man. Kanes nomination for 2013 POY is a fantastic mix of speed, agility and finish, all blending together to create an entertaining goal from an equally entertaining player. Kane comes through the neutral zone, backing up Dallas Stars defenseman Brenden Dillon. As they get to the top of the circle in the Stars end, Kane pulls oout his finest Denis Savard impersonation, catching everyone off-guard.dddddddddddd. The move backs Dillon off far enough that Kane can let loose a seeing-eye backhander that wraps up this fantastic POY play in style.
