Newark, NJ (SportsNetwork.com) - The 15th-ranked St. Johns Red Storm and the Seton Hall Pirates begin Big East play on Wednesday evening, as the two teams square off at the Prudential Center. St. Johns continued its best start to a season since the 1985-86 campaign with an 82-57 rout of Tulane on Sunday. The victory was the seventh straight for Steve Lavins Red Storm and their 11th in the first 12 games of the season. The win streak marks the teams longest since the 1999-2000 season. Kevin Willards Pirates are also off to a fast start, as they enter league play with a 10-2 record. Seton Hall has won three of its last four games, and also comes in off a lopsided win, making light work of Maine on Saturday, 72-43. These two teams are meeting for the 92nd time in the series history. They have met every season since 1963-64. St. Johns holds a 57-34 advantage all-time. The Red Storm rolled over the Green Wave at the Barclays Center on Sunday, thanks in large part to SirDominic Pointers big outing. The senior swingman erupted for a career-high 24 points, on 9-of-13 shooting. Senior guard DAngelo Harrison was instrumental in the win as well, pouring in 21 points for St. Johns, which shot .508 from the field overall. St. Johns definitely has some offensive depth, but it is the teams defensive effort that has really fueled the strong start. The Red Storm are limiting foes to a mere 58.2 ppg this year, holding them well under 40 percent shooting (.364). It certainly helps to have a player like center Chris Obekpa (7.4 ppg, 8.8 rpg) in the middle. The junior big man is the DI active leader in career blocks (3.53 per game). Offensively, four players are averaging double figures providing more than enough scoring depth. Harrison is one of the top scoring threats in the Big East, averaging 19.0 ppg. Rysheed Jordan is next in the scoring column for St. Johns at 14.3 ppg, while Pointer (11.5 ppg) and Phil Greene IV (11.2 ppg) make sizable contributions as well. Seton Hall has followed a similar blueprint to its season. Defense has been a strength, as foes are netting just 60.2 ppg on a meager .386 shooting against the Pirates. At the other end of the floor, the team is led by the scoring of Sterling Gibbs. Seton Halls top sniper, Gibbs is shooting over 50 percent from behind the arc (27-of-53), en route to 15.6 ppg. Isaiah Whitehead isnt quite as efficient from the floor (.393), but he does averaging nearly 12 points per outing (11.9). Brandon Mobley (9.9 ppg) and Angel Delgado (8.6 ppg, 8.8 rpg) provide depth. Four Pirates finished in double figures, as Seton Halls balanced attack was simply too much for Maine to contend with. Gibbs paced the team with 18 points. Fellow guard Jaren Sina added 13 points, followed by Khadeen Carrington and Delgado, who finished with 12 and 10 points, respectively. Seton Hall turned up the heat defensively in the win, forcing Maine into 20 turnovers and holding the Black Bears to a mere .304 shooting effort. Cheap Washington Redskins Jerseys Online .

It might just be without the man whos in his earhole every Sunday.With Black Monday came word that the San Francisco 49ers and Atlanta Falcons want to speak with Adam Gase, the Broncos 36-year-old offensive co-ordinator, about their head coaching vacancies.The Broncos (12-4) will allow Gase to interview with those teams and any other suitors in Denver later this week. Players have Thursday, Friday and Saturday off after earning a first-round bye in the AFC playoffs.Weve been through this many times, said coach John Fox, who lost co-ordinators Dennis Allen to the Raiders and Mike McCoy to the Chargers in recent years. Itll be done in a way that theyve got to come here. And it wont bother our coaches as far as their prep, and all their focus is on what were trying to accomplish. During the bye week, I think its an opportune time to do those things.Gase was pursued last year, too, but he rejected overtures from the Cleveland Browns in part because he wanted to devote his full attention to the Broncos Super Bowl quest.Gase has proven adept at handling quarterbacks as varied as Manning and Tim Tebow, whom he got eight wins out of back in 2011, including a stunning playoff victory over Pittsburgh.After Denver scored an NFL-record 606 points last season, Gases unit has become as much run-oriented behind C.J. Anderson, the first undrafted running back to score seven TDs in a month since Priest Holmes in 2004, as Manning-oriented.The Broncos tied for the leagues best record for the third consecutive season with Manning as their QB, and their 30.1-point scoring average trailed only Green Bays 30.4.Gases troops are more than happy to give testimonials on his behalf.I think hes used the knowledge of the coaches that hes worked with, you know, the offensive coaches especially, and the Nick Sabans that have been instrumental in some of his coaching philosophies, Manning said recently. Hes used those to apply to his coaching style and its helped him a lot.Hes a coach that you want to play hard for, backup QB Brock Osweiler said Monday.dddddddddddd He treats you with respect. He makes it fun coming to work and hes brilliant at what he does. I hope were able to keep him here.Wide receiver Bubba Caldwell said it would be bittersweet to lose Gase.Im happy for him getting interest and the potential to make more money and get a better position in the league, Caldwell said. But Im bitter because hed be leaving us.Caldwell said Gase certainly has the chops for a head coaching gig, though.Hes a good guy. He knows the game up and down, back and forth, Caldwell said. Hes a great football mind. Hes studied under a lot of great coaches like Mike Martz. And hes a people person. He knows how to interact with his players and he knows how to get the best out of them.Denver defensive co-ordinator Jack Del Rios name might also come up in coaching searches — a signature performance in the playoffs would certainly burnish his credentials.Del Rio went 69-72 in 8 1/2 seasons as Jacksonvilles head coach from 2003-11, a mark that looks better and better as the Jaguars have gone 11-42 since his firing. Del Rio also guided Denver to a 3-1 record last year after Fox underwent heart surgery.Nose tackle Terrance Knighton said he wouldnt be surprised to see Denver lose both co-ordinators. After all, the Broncos finished fourth in the NFL in offence and third in defence.Youve got two great co-ordinators who have had a lot of success. Eventually, theyre going to get their shot, Knighton said. Specifically, Coach Del Rio, a guy who drafted me as a head coach, hes definitely still a head coach in my mind. And I feel like we have two head coaches on the staff with him and Coach Fox. So, Im pretty sure theyre high on a lot of peoples lists because of the success they had.Like Manning, Knighton is on record saying he wants to return to Denver in 2015. Yet, when asked Monday if he was torn in wanting Del Rio to get another head coaching job and preferring he stuck around Denver, Knighton smiled.I want to be wherever Jack is, he said. Ill just leave it at that.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Buffalo Sabres Gear Wholesale Calgary Flames Jerseys Cheap Adidas Colorado Avalanche Jerseys Montreal Canadiens Outlet Store Wholesale New Jersey Devils Jerseys Adidas Arizona Coyotes Jerseys Cheap Adidas Boston Bruins Jerseys Cheap Adidas Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys Chicago Blackhawks Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys Dallas Stars Shop Free Shipping Cheap Adidas Detroit Red Wings Jerseys Anaheim Ducks Jerseys China Wholesale Edmonton Oilers Jerseys Florida Panthers Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Los Angeles Kings Jerseys Minnesota Wild Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Nashville Predators Jerseys Cheap Adidas New York Islanders Jerseys New York Rangers Winter Classic Jerseys Cheap Adidas Ottawa Senators Jerseys Cheap Adidas Philadelphia Flyers Jerseys Wholesale Pittsburgh Penguins Jerseys Cheap Adidas San Jose Sharks Jerseys St. Louis Blues Winter Classic Jerseys Wholesale Tampa Bay Lightning Jerseys Toronto Maple Leafs Outlet Store Vancouver Canucks Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Vegas Golden Knights Jerseys Cheap Adidas Washington Capitals Jerseys Cheap Adidas Winnipeg Jets Jerseys ' ' '
