DURHAM, N.
Laurent Depoitre Jersey .C. -- With three big
men out with injuries, top-ranked Duke is leaning on its guards for a little bit
of everything.Grayson Allen had 25 points and 10 rebounds, freshman Frank
Jackson added 21 points and the Blue Devils beat Grand Canyon 96-61 on
Saturday.We have to rebound -- the whole perimeter has to rebound, said Allen,
who finished one rebound shy of his career best. We know the big guys that we do
have in the game, theyre going to be battling, boxing out the other bigs, so the
perimeter, we need to crash in and rebound and clean up all the loose
stuff.Amile Jefferson scored 15 points, Luke Kennard finished with 14 and Matt
Jones had 11 points for the short-handed Blue Devils (2-0).Once again playing
without three injured freshman post players, they kept things largely in their
guards hands and shot 53 percent to win their second game in less than 24
hours.I like my team a lot. We just have to keep getting better, and then once
all these injuries are taken care of in some time, we can become a different
team, coach Mike Krzyzewski said. Right now, we have to be this team and not
think about who we could be. Our complete focus has got to be how to win with
this team.Now, with those two tuneup games out of the way, the focus squarely
falls on one of the marquee matchups of the early season: a date with No. 3
Kansas on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.Shaq Carr had 18 points to lead
pesky Grand Canyon (0-1), which gave Duke more of a test than Marist did in a
94-49 rout a night earlier but came up empty in its second opener against a
top-ranked team in three years.BIG PICTUREGrand Canyon: The Antelopes -- who
lost to No. 1 Kentucky by 40 points in 2014 -- will have to be content with
making things tough on Duke for a good chunk of the first half and leading for
about 7 1/2 minutes of the first half behind Carr, who repeatedly found his way
through the Blue Devils defense and to the rim.I didnt know what to expect,
coach Dan Majerle said about a team missing three starters. I was happy with how
we started off. ... I thought maybe the first 12, 13 minutes, we played pretty
good and were going to learn about our team as we go along.Duke: The Blue Devils
shortened their bench significantly, playing only seven players in the
pre-garbage time portion of the game -- and the seventh, freshman Javin
DeLaurier, logged only 6 minutes in all. Theyre trying to keep things working
without injured freshman big men Harry Giles (knee), Marques Bolden (lower leg)
and Jayson Tatum (foot). Krzyzewski says he doesnt anticipate having them
against the Jayhawks and we may not have them all week.Whatever amount of time,
whatever it is, lets just get well, Krzyzewski added. And while you guys are
getting well and supporting the team, lets become a team with these nine guys.
We made that a priority this past week. Were trying to figure out the system we
need for this group of guys.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Blue Devils trailed for the
first time this season but once again showed no reason why they should be ranked
any lower than No. 1.THE COLANGELO CONNECTIONBoth coaches have strong ties to
Jerry Colangelo. He was the Phoenix Suns owner when they drafted Majerle in 1988
and lured Thunder Dan to the Grand Canyon program in 2013.And with Colangelo as
its chairman and Dukes Mike Krzyzewski as the coach, the U.S. national team won
the last three Olympic gold medals.STAT WATCHThe Blue Devils were 21 of 31 from
the free-throw line while Grand Canyon was 6 of 12. The Antelopes didnt attempt
their first foul shot until just 1:44 remained in the first half -- by which
point Duke had already attempted 17 and built a 39-28 lead.UP NEXTGrand Canyon:
The Antelopes head to Penn State on Nov. 15 for their second game in the
Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off.Duke: The Blue Devils get their first big test
Nov. 15 when they face Kansas in the Champions Classic at Madison Square
Garden.---Follow Joedy McCreary at

on the receiving end of offensive comments from a city councillor.The Suns have
lodged an official complaint with the Gold Coast City Council after Councillor
Dawn Crichlow allegedly made racist and homophobic remarks during a diversity
function last week.Crichlow is accused of making a series of inappropriate
comments during the function including claiming to know about Muslims.She is
also accused of saying If thats a man he should not be touching another man. Men
dont do that, while Saad was play-acting with Suns mascot Sunny Ray.The Suns
letter of complaint to the council claims the veteran councillor had said
footballers shouldnt be paid.
Christian Kabasele Jersey. You all get paid
too much and thats why you are all on drugs, during her appearance at the
function.The council has indicated it will hold an internal investigation into
the allegations.Eade said if another player had made the comments he would have
been punished a fair bit already.He said Saad - a multicultural ambassador and
one of three practising Muslims in the AFL - would receive all the support he
needed from the Suns players and management.Hes a quality lad and he wouldnt be
wanting to make a big fuss of it, Eade said.Were 100 per cent behind Adam and
think hes been fantastic for our club.
