Lexington, KY (SportsNetwork. Pete Maravich Jersey .com) - Andrew Harrison had 16 points to lead a balanced Kentucky attack and the top-ranked Wildcats opened a season of sky- high expectations with an 85-45 trouncing of Grand Canyon at Rupp Arena. With three starters and several other key contributors returning from last seasons national runner-up squad, plus a typical loaded class of incoming recruits, the Wildcats entered 2014-15 as a heavy favorite to cut down the nets in Indianapolis. They did little to temper the hype on Friday against an overmatched Grand Canyon team in only its second year as a Division I program. Its not going to be easy, said Harrison on the expectations. We have so much talent on our team, but we have a long way to go and were still a young team. Heralded freshman Trey Lyles put up 14 in just 17 minutes in his debut, while Willie Cauley-Stein chipped in 12 points and four blocks in the rout. Dakari Johnson added a double-double of 10 points and 13 rebounds for Kentucky (1-0), which finished the night with an overwhelming 51-21 advantage on the glass. Royce Woolridge paced the Antelopes (0-1) with 15 points and Daniel Alexander had 10 in the loss. We were mismatched obviously with the size and talent that they have, said Antelopes head coach and former NBA All-Star Dan Majerle. It is a good stepping stone for us. Grand Canyon withstood seven straight points from Harrison to begin the game to trail by just four, 10-6, at the first media timeout, but were held scoreless for the next five-plus minutes as Kentucky started to assert itself. The Wildcats strung together a 16-3 run, with Lyles netting five points and Harrison the last five, to claim a 26-9 advantage with under nine minutes left in the first half, and the Antelopes never got closer than 15 down the rest of the way. Twelve consecutive Kentucky points, most of which came in the paint, made it a 38-11 lead late in the opening period, and the margin was as high as 29 points until DeAndre Davis layup got Grand Canyon within 46-13 at the break. The Antelopes shot just 25 percent over the first 20 minutes while committing 13 turnovers that the Wildcats converted into 16 points. Grand Canyon played the Wildcats even for much of the second half before Kentucky took over the final six minutes, closing out the contest with a 19-4 surge. First half defensively we were pretty good. Thats why we had the gap we had, Wildcats head coach John Calipari stated. Second half we didnt guard. Game Notes The Antelopes went 15-15 in their inaugural D-I season ... Grand Canyon hit 7-of-15 shots from 3-point range, with Woolridge making all four of his tries from beyond the arc ... Kentucky was just 3-of-14 on 3-pointers, but outscored the Antelopes 58-16 in the paint ... The Wildcats will host Buffalo on Sunday before taking on fifth-ranked Kansas in Indianapolis on Tuesday.

Jonas Jerebko Jersey . -- Two out of three aint bad. http://www.officialjazzauthenticstore.com/kids-tony-bradley-jazz-jersey/ .J. -- Richard Sherman, Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch deservedly draw the attention for what theyve done in getting the Seattle Seahawks to the Super Bowl.Hes been second once and third twice on the PGA Tour this season, clinched a spot in the Presidents Cup and is contending for the FedEx Cup title and a cool five-figure bonus. But Graham DeLaet isnt actively looking to replace his idol as the new face of Canadian golf. "None of us is trying to be the next Mike Weir, thats for sure, because hes one of a kind," DeLaet said during a conference call Thursday. "He carried the flag for this country for a long time and did it well, not only just in golf but for sport in Canada in general. "Hes a tremendous ambassador for our country and the game and if I can be half the ambassador hes been Id be quite happy." Weir, of Brights Grove, Ont., is tied with the late George Knudson for most career PGA Tour wins by a Canadian with eight, but is the only Canuck to have won a major after his victory at the 2003 Masters. The veteran left-hander turned pro in 1992 and is ranked No. 20 in career earnings with over $27 million. But the 43-year-olds last PGA Tour win came in 2007 and he didnt make the cut in the 14 events he entered last year. So far in 2013, Weir has made the cut in nine of 22 tournaments and earned $194,510. DeLaet, 31, who battled back problems early in his career, is enjoying a breakthrough campaign. The native of Weyburn, Sask., who turned pro in 2006, finished tied for second -- a career best -- at The Barclays and his third-place finish Monday in the Deutsche Bank Championship earned him a spot on the international team for next months Presidents Cup in Dublin, Ohio. It will mark DeLaets first appearance in the Presidents Cup, an event Weir has played in five times. The two spoke briefly about the tournament earlier this year, but DeLaet wants to speak with Weir again about what he can expect. "I was actually planning on giving him a call and just picking his brain a little bit," DeLaet said. "We played a practice round in Hartford this year and at that time I was on the outside looking in for the Presidents Cup ... but it was on my radar and something I wanted to achieve. "Pretty much everyone Ive talked to says its the most amazing tournament that youll play in, the atmosphere is unbelievable. I havent played a ton of match play and obviously he took down (Tiger Woods in 2007 Presidents Cup) so he knows something about it." The Presidents Cup pits a team representing the U.S. against an international squad in a match-play format. Each game is worth a point with a maximum of 34 available sso the side amassing 17. Ricky Rubio Jersey. 5 or more points wins. The U.S. has dominated this event, winning seven of nine played since its inception in 1994. The International sides lone victory came in 1998, with the 2003 competition finishing tied. DeLaet doesnt have much match-play experience but is embracing the format. "I actually feel it suits my game pretty well," DeLaet said. "You can be a lot more aggressive when needed and also play smart when needed. "Its obviously a totally different game, youre playing more against your competitor than you are the golf course ... its exciting to think about right now. I cant wait to play it." Although hell be a Presidents Cup rookie, DeLaet is more than comfortable to take a leadership role on the International squad, if required. "Ive played team sports all my life ... I feel like Im a good leader," he said. "Obviously Im going to be a rookie on that team so I probably wont assume a leadership role by any means but I feel I can help guys out. "We all know whats at stake and you dont want to let guys down. But at the same time if you can pump a guy up when hes a little bit down on himself or disappointed in a shot and let him know its not a big deal, that we have a lot of golf to play and you believe in him, thats really the thing." DeLaet has made the cut in 19 of 24 events this year and posted 12 top-25 finishes. Hes currently ranked fifth in the FedEx Cup standings, 16th on the PGA Tour money list (over $2.6 million) and No. 35 in the world golf rankings. "I was speaking with one of my buddies (Wednesday) and he was going through some things like the world rankings, money list and FedEx Cup and guys Im ahead of," DeLaet said. "I kind of sat back and thought, Wow, this has just been an unbelievable year. "I feel like theres been a couple of chances Ive let slip away a little bit but its great being in contention. My time is coming, I totally believe in that." But the season could become even more memorable if DeLaet manages to finish atop the FedEx Cup standings, which would earn him a $10-million bonus cheque. Remaining No. 5 wouldnt be bad either, given the $1-million bonus. However, being in contention for the top prize means DeLaet can allow himself to realistically think big. "If I can stay in the top-5 going into the Tour Championship, I have a legitimate chance of winning," DeLaet said. "I think its a realistic goal, to win it."
