LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Perry Ellis scored 21 points, freshman Joel Embiid had 16 points and 13 rebounds in a breakout performance, and No. 2 Kansas used a big late run to bury Iona 86-66 on Tuesday night. Andrew Wiggins added 13 points and Naadir Tharpe had 10 assists for the Jayhawks (3-0), who got off to a sluggish start after their high-profile triumph over Duke last week. "I dont think I played good because (my father) was there," Embiid said. "I just felt more confident, and Coach always gives me his trust, so I just felt more confident." Embiid grew up playing volleyball in Yaounde, Cameroon, and didnt start playing basketball until he attended a camp run by the Sacramento Kings Luc Mbah a Moute, who hails from the same town. Embiid was 16 years old, but his athleticism made him a natural. He wound up at The Rock School in Gainesville, Fla., to pursue his basketball career, and quickly developed into a five-star talent. Kansas coach Bill Self was on him early, recruiting the blossoming Embiid to the school that produced Wilt Chamberlain. "Hell look good some days, he wont look as good some days," Self said, "but hes smart. He gets it. Hes figuring things out all the time. Im real pleased with his development." The Gaels (1-2), using a maddening 2-2-1 zone and pouring in 3-pointers, managed to hang within single digits until midway through the second half. Thats when Kansas went on a 19-4 surge fueled by its freshmen to finally put the game away. "Our kids came out and competed their hearts out and did their best all night," Iona coach Tim Cluess said. "It gives us a lot of measuring sticks for the rest of the season." A.J. English scored 21 points for Iona, and David Laury added 13 points and nine rebounds before fouling out. Sean Armand added 14 points, hitting three 3-pointers to move within three of matching the schools career record of 263. While the Gaels shot the ball well, they had no answer inside for Ellis and Embiid. The 6-foot-8 Ellis scored on a variety of nifty spin moves and soft floaters in the lane, while Embiid used his massive size advantage to go 7 for 7 from the field. Much to the delight of his father, Thomas Embiid. "It was the first time weve met him in person," Self said. "Thats the first basketball game hes ever seen. Hell be here til Saturday or Sunday, so itll be good to see Joel play again. But it has to be cool, youve come over here and your first experience is Allen Fieldhouse." After allowing the Blue Devils to shoot better than 50 per cent last week in Chicago, Kansas again struggled on defence. The Gaels pumped in six 3-pointers in the first half and shot 45 per cent from the field in closing to within 41-36 at the break. In fact, the Jayhawks might have found themselves behind to the MAAC school if not for the play of Ellis, who was 6 of 8 from the field and scored 13 points in the opening half. "I feel a lot more confident," Ellis said, "just trusting myself now." The Gaels kept within striking distance with their perimeter shooting early in the second half, much to the chagrin of Self, who kept burning timeouts. But once the outside shots stopped dropping, the Jayhawks were able to start running -- and use their superior athleticism. Tharpe served as the conductor orchestrating the Kansas offence, delivering crisp passes to set up easy baskets. The sophomore guard threw a pretty alley-oop pass to Wiggins to start the second half, and then tossed up another to Embiid on the next possession. Kansas finally buried the Gaels with its big run later in the half. Embiid and Ellis did most of the work, but the highlight came when Tharpe threw up another lob -- this time to 5-foot-11 freshman Frank Mason, who showed enough hops to slam it down. By the time Wayne Selden, another of the Jayhawks sensational freshmen, scored on a nifty reverse layup with just over 4 minutes to play, the lead had grown to 80-59. "Of course, watching Kansas for plenty of years, thats what they do," English said. "Their whole team is great. I know they have a lot of freshmen, but I feel like one through however many players they have, the whole team is great." Nike Air Max Clearance Canada .

Jameis Winston finished 22-of-32 for 281 yards and a touchdown to Nick OLeary for the Seminoles (11-0, 8-0 ACC), who extended their string to 27 consecutive victories. Rashad Greene totaled 106 yards on eight receptions and OLeary added three catches for 59 yards. Dalvin Cook registered 76 yards on 14 carries and Karlos Williams posted an early rushing score. Florida State can attain back-to-back 12-0 seasons with a victory in its season finale next week against Florida. Tyler Murphy ended up with 73 yards and a touchdown each through the air and on the ground for the Eagles (6-5, 3-4), who did their best but dropped their fifth straight game to FSU. Jon Hilliman led BC with 73 yards on 14 attempts, while Shakim Phillips posted a TD reception in defeat. Winston and the Seminoles began the deciding drive on their own 26, and a 10- yard run by Williams got things going. Three plays later, Williams added a 5- yard run to pick up another fresh set of downs, and though a false start later gave FSU 1st-and-15 from the BC 45, a completion to Greene made up that distance. Cooks seven-yard run was good enough for a first down at the Eagles 15-yard line, and he made two more small gains sandwiched around a pair of Boston College timeouts. Winston nearly bobbled the snap on 3rd-and-4 from the BC 9-yard line, but Cook inched his way up the middle. After a Seminoles timeout with seven seconds to play, Aguayos boot was true. Williams 3-yard run capped a successful opening drive for FSU, a 14-play, 75- yard march taking almost 6 1/2 minutes off the clock. BC got on the board with a long ddrive of its own, making it 7-3 on a 40-yard field goal from Mike Knoll.dddddddddddd Aguayo hit from 37 yards away with nearly 4 1/2 minutes played in the second quarter and the hosts regained a seven-point edge. Although BC went three-and-out on its next series, Winston was picked off by Ty-Meer Brown deep in Eagles territory and five plays into that drive, Murphy found Phillips alone over the middle for a 49-yard TD and 10-10 game. It took Winston and his offense just seven plays to reach the end zone, on OLearys 30-yard scoring reception as the rains began. The Seminoles maintained that seven-point edge to the break. The visitors initial drive of the second half stalled at their own 40, but Murphys 21-yard run to the near-left pylon with 6:12 remaining in the third forged a 17-17 deadlock. Florida State moved 52 yards in eight plays, but Aguayo then hooked a 37-yard try wide left. Early in the fourth quarter, Boston College began a drive at its own 8-yard line and moved to the FSU 25, bleeding almost nine minutes off the clock in the process. The Eagles could have gone ahead, but Alex Howell pushed his 42- yard try wide right with 4:37 to play.
