LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Kentuckys latest highly touted freshman class showed their expected potential, but only after a boost from the veterans.Isaiah Briscoe scored 17 points, Derek Willis added 15 and No. 2 Kentucky went on to an 87-64 season-opening victory over Stephen F. Austin on Friday night.An opener expected to highlight the Wildcats latest group of talented freshmen instead saw veterans such as sophomore guard Briscoe and Willis, a senior forward, shoulder the load. They combined to make 11 of 18 from the field while their experience offset the newcomers early shooting troubles. Seven-foot sophomore Isaac Humphries (9 points, 8 rebounds) filled a big inside void with 6-10 freshman Bam Adebayo (five points) hampered by foul trouble.Senior guard Mychal Mulder, a transfer who scored just 12 points last season for the Wildcats, had eight on a team-high two 3-pointers.Before the game Coach (John Calipari) reminded us that theyre young and its their first game, so make sure everything out there is in order, said Briscoe, who worked out for several NBA teams last spring before deciding to return for a second season.Several freshmen did their part with forward Wenyen Gabriel scoring 10 first-half points off the bench. Guard DeAaron Fox added 12 points and broke a 36-year-old program record for assists in an opener with 12, while Malik Monk had 10 second-half points.Isaiah Traylor scored 15 points and Leon Gilmore III had 12 with 11 rebounds for Stephen F. Austin, which lost the debut of coach Kyle Keller. The Lumberjacks outrebounded Kentucky 36-28 but committed 28 turnovers leading to 32 points.BIG PICTUREStephen F. Austin: Despite losing eight players from last years team, the Lumberjacks early on resembled the competitive NCAA Tournament team that upset third-seeded West Virginia before losing by five points to No. 6 seed Notre Dame in the second. They slowed the pace before the Wildcats height and depth took over.Keller became first of three SFA coaches this century to lose his debut, but the Lumberjacks should make a strong push for their first straight Southland Conference regular season title.When we look back on this game, were going to draw on it, said Keller, who took over after being a Texas A&M assistant. Were going to get a lot of confidence from this.Kentucky: Willis followed up last seasons breakout by being the steadying force early, making 3 of 4 field goals with two blocks. He finished with five rebounds. Humphries was a pleasant surprise with Adebayo spending much of the first half on the bench. The Wildcats shot 50 percent but were still outrebounded.Were one of those teams that is so young, Calipari said, not disciplined enough defensively, should be a better rebounding team. We got outrebounded.POLL IMPLICATIONSKentucky is likely to remain in position and wont face that question until after meeting No. 12 Michigan State next week in New York.SELFLESS PLAYCalipari preaches unselfishness to players and brags about his succession of standout point guards that have set the tone, most recently by Tyler Ulis. Fox offered glimpses of being Kentuckys next floor general by breaking Dirk Minniefields old mark of 11 assists against Butler on Nov. 27, 1982.I didnt even realize I was doing it, Fox said. I knew I wasnt shooting the ball well. Teammates were cutting and finishing when I was passing the ball to them, so all the credit is to them.BAMS ROUGH NIGHTAdebayo was expected to get most of the attention because of his NBA-caliber game and build. But his physical style drew two quick fouls and four overall, leaving him with just one rebound in 15 minutes.UP NEXTStephen F. Austin: Returns home to host Longwood on Tuesday and regroup from the loss.Kentucky: Hosts Canisius on Sunday in the first meeting between the schools since 1998. The Wildcats have won previous games against the Golden Griffins and seek a strong tuneup before facing No. 12 Michigan State on Tuesday in New York.---AP college basketball: collegebasketball.ap.org Pink Panthers Jerseys . -- Claudio Bieler hadnt scored since early September, and not from the run of play since mid-July. Donte Jackson Stitched Jersey .In my heart and mind Im competing for India, luge competitor Shiva Keshavan told The Associated Press in an email interview.

Shane Hnidy joins Brian Munz for the broadcast on TSN 1290 Radio at 7pm ct. Camo Panthers Jerseys . Perez, 35, posted a 1-2 record with a 3.69 earned-run average in 19 relief appearances last season. His season ended Aug. 9 due to a torn ligament in his left elbow.

The veteran safety was a starter for the Bengals from 2008-2012. He totaled 41 tackles and three interceptions while starting all but four of the 13 games he played last season.Ospreys maintained their unbeaten home record this season with a 35-17 Guinness PRO12 victory over Welsh rivals Newport Gwent Dragons. The home side, who have now beaten the Dragons 10 times in a row, registered five tries in the victory with 19-year-old wing Keelan Giles crossing twice to take his tally to eight tries in four games.Flanker Dan Lydiate, a former Dragon, and hooker Scott Baldwin started for Ospreys after being released by Wales. However Dan Biggar, Rhys Webb, Sam Davies and seven forwards were absent because of International commitments. Tavis Knoyle looks for a way through on his first start for Newport Gwent Dragons Without fly-halves Biggar and Davies, centre Josh Matavesi stepped up to wear the number 10 jersey and he finished the afternoon having converted all of his sides tries. The Dragons were without three Wales squad players but former Welsh international Tavis Knoyle made his first start for the visitors after being released by Cardiff Blues.Ospreys went into half-time 14-3 up - but they did not have things all their own way in the opening quarter.First Nick Macleod kicked a peenalty within the opening five minutes following a high tackle, before prop Dmitri Arhip was handed a yellow card for leading with the arm.ddddddddddddThe card put the home side on the back foot but Dragons failed to make the most of the one-man advantage.Back to 15 men, Ospreys scored their opening try on 22 minutes when Tom Habberfield squeezed over after darting down the blindside off a five-metre scrum. Scott Baldwin scored one of Ospreys five tries Ospreys continued to pile on the pressure but the second try did not come until the 40th minute when Scott Baldwin crashed over after coming off the back of a drive from a lineout.After the break, Giles immediately made his impact felt with a brace. First, he was on the end of a skillful offload from Matavesi and next, he kicked a loose ball up field and showcased his pace to secure the bonus-point score.Replacement Brendon Leonard ran in for Ospreys fifth try before Dragons struck back as they continued to work hard for the full eighty.The visitors reward for their endeavour came in the form of two tries, one from Matthew Screech and Pat Howard, but it was too little, too late.
