BOULDER, Colo. -- Colorado senior Derrick White stared at the stat sheet as he sat down and just grimaced.His coach shared his disgust, especially those 19 turnovers and 15 missed free throws.The stats were made a whole lot more palatable by these numbers -- a 67-55 win over Seattle on Monday night in a regional round of the Legends Classic.That was the definition of winning ugly right there, Colorado coach Tad Boyle said. We were not very good offensively tonight, obviously, on a lot of different levels. But to figure out a way to win on a night when youre not functioning that well offensively is a testament to our guys will and their toughness and our defense and rebounding.The hallmarks of Boyles program have long been defense and rebounding, which never take a night off. The Buffaloes (2-0) held Seattle to 30.2 percent shooting from the floor and out-rebounded the Redhawks by a 55-35 margin.Were in the process of becoming a good team, Boyle said. Were not a good team right now.White scored 15 points and Josh Fortune hit two big 3-pointers down the stretch to lift Colorado. Fortune finished with 12 points, all in the second half, while Wesley Gordon added 11 points and 14 rebounds.We had 19 turnovers ... and we still won, White said. It just goes to show that if we guard and we rebound we can win.Seattle (1-1) was led by Brendan Westendorf, who finished with 17 points.Trailing by a basket early in the second half, Colorado went on a 16-2 run to gain some separation. But the Redhawks pulled to within 54-51 on Westendorfs four-point play with around 6 minutes remaining.Soon after, Fortune entered the game and bailed out the Buffaloes, who finished 3 of 18 from 3-point land. They were also 26 of 41 from the free throw line.Its tough when you get that close and they pull away from you, Westendorf said.Seattle coach Cameron Dollar couldnt agree more.We had some looks but didnt capitalize on it, Dollar said. You have to be able to score a little bit more than we did tonight.BIG PICTURESeattle: As Colorado discovered, the Redhawks arent limited to preseason All-Western Athletic Conference players Westendorf and William Powell, who was held to four points. Scott Ulaneo had 11 rebounds, forward Emmanuel Chibuogwu scored nine points and 7-foot-3 center Aaron Menzies contributed eight.Colorado: Although the Buffaloes struggled with their long-range shooting, they should get a lift from freshman guard Bryce Peters. He served the second of a two-game suspension Monday for violating team rules.PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATIONMore than a dozen students stood in an aisle before tipoff and protested what they felt were inequities on campus. One of the leaders, Xavier Cochrane, said Donald Trumps victory during the U.S. presidential election played a role in the peaceful demonstration at Coors Events Center. The students held up one hand and chanted such things as Black Lives Matter and Latino Lives Matter.We want our voice to be heard, said Cochrane, the co-president of the Black Student Alliance at Colorado and a wide receiver on the football team.X-FACTORXavier Johnson scored 13 to become the 33rd player in school history to eclipse the 1,000-point plateau for a career. Johnson missed last season as he recovered from a torn Achilles.Its a blessing to be able to play the game again, coming off that Achilles tear, Johnson said. Im just happy to score the basketball.NO DOMBothered by a sore foot, junior guard Dominique Collier didnt play in the second half.If it doesnt get better, the Buffaloes may have to shut him down for a bit.We have to get it healthy and healed, Boyle said. We need him. We need Dom Collier to be effective for us this year.UP NEXTSeattle travels to Notre Dame on Wednesday as part of the Legends Classic.Colorado hosts Louisiana Monroe on Thursday in the second game of the Boulder Regional of the Legends Classic.---More AP college basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.orgAdidas Human Race ελλαδα .

The 25-year-old Japanese star has officially been posted by his club team, the Rakuten Golden Eagles.LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The NCAA accused Louisville of four serious violations and criticized coach Rick Pitino for failing to monitor a former basketball staffer who hired escorts and strippers for sex parties with recruits and players.The governing bodys report Thursday didnt mention a lack of institutional control -- considered the most serious violation in some cases.Pitino disputed the finding that he did not monitor Andree McGee, saying his tendency is to over-monitor. If anything, the coach said he was guilty of trusting someone to tell him what was going on.This man (McGee) made a mistake and we apologize for his mistakes, he said during a news conference. Pitino has denied knowledge of the alleged violations.The NCAAs letter is the first step in a process that could extend into next spring. Louisville has 90 days to respond.The letter culminates an inquiry that began with the publication last October of Katina Powells book, Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen.Powell wrote that McGee paid her $10,000 for strippers to perform 22 shows from 2010-14 -- a period that includes Louisvilles NCAA 2012-13 championship season -- with many occurring in the players Billy Minardi Hall dormitory. The building is named for Pitinos brother-in-law, who died in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York.Compliance consultant Chuck Smrt, hired by the school to investigate the allegations, said he did not think vacating records was appropriate as a penalty but noted there is precedent.The NCAAs letter lists the value of the impermissible/extra benefits as at least $5,400 and cites multiple instances in which McGee hired strippers to dance and have sex with recruits.Louisville already has imposed its own penalties. The most severe one was announced Feb. 5 -- a postseason ban after the school determined violations occurred. A month later, the school announced the reduction of two scholarships and the number of days staffers could recruit.Neville Pinto, the universitys acting president, and athletic director Tom Jurich said the NCAAs findings align with the results of the schools investigation. He said the school would fight the charge against Pitino.Improper activities took place in a dormitory that never should have occurred, they said in a statement. When the facts were established, we acted. We took appropriate punitive and corrective actions. The penalties we imposed were among the most severe penalties ever self-imposed by a NCAA member.Those self-imposed penalties were taken as a way of possibly llessening NCAA discipline and follows measures used by Syracuse and SMU.dddddddddddd NCAA punishment went further in those cases, with nine-game suspensions each this past season for Hall of Fame coaches Jim Boeheim and now-retired Larry Brown.It remains unclear if the NCAA will take the same step with Pitino. Jurich made clear the schools intent to defend the allegation and show-cause order against Pitino and said he could not have known what occurred in the dorm because if he caught a whiff of what was going on, theres no question hed hit the roof.Jurich went further in the schools planned defense of the coach, saying we dont agree with it and we will dispute it.The NCAAs 20-page letter dated Oct. 17 alleges that McGee provided benefits to at least 17 recruits and players, two non-scholastic coaches and one friend of a prospect during that period. Names of the players were redacted in the report.McGee did not cooperate with NCAA investigators and is subject to a show-cause order for two violations. McGees attorney, Scott C. Cox, had no comment.Smrt said the vast majority of the activities occurred with prospects on official or unofficial visits at Louisville. He declined to say how many eventually enrolled at the school, adding that would be getting into the specifics of the case.Former Louisville assistant Brandon Williams, who hadnt been previously mentioned, is also cited in the letter for failing to provide requested phone records to NCAA enforcement staff.Lawyer Steve Thompson of Nixon Peabody, the firm hired by the school as outside counsel, said the violation is unrelated to the core allegations. Pitino said Williams had no relationship with McGee.The action by the NCAA has cast a shadow over one of the countrys most prominent basketball schools and led to several investigations, including ones by the Louisville police department and the Commonwealths Attorneys Office. Pitino has said in recent interviews he believes Louisvilles self-imposed penalties suggested by the compliance consultant should be enough to satisfy the NCAA.Jurich reiterated the programs steps to address the allegations from the moment the school became aware of them. He and Pitino also said the program has taken additional measures to improve security and compliance to ensure the violations arent repeated.For now, the school must prepare its defense before waiting to see what the NCAAs final word will be.
