DURHAM, N.C. -- Luke Kennard is ready for Duke to finally resemble the team that was picked No. 1 in the preseason.The fifth-ranked Blue Devils welcomed two key big men to the rotation -- but also played without two starting guards.With Kennard scoring a career-best 35 points, Duke routed Maine 94-55 on Saturday in the long-awaited debut of freshmen Jayson Tatum and Marques Bolden.Im just excited for everybody to get back, Kennard said. Im excited to be a full, healthy team, and just step on the pedal and be who we are going to be during the season.Amile Jefferson added a career-high 20 points and Tatum finished with 10 for the Blue Devils (8-1), who shot 60 percent while playing without a true point guard.Preseason All-America Grayson Allen and freshman Frank Jackson -- their starting backcourt for the past four games -- were held out. Allen has been dealing with a lingering toe injury, while coach Mike Krzyzewski says Jackson has a little bit of a sore foot.Krzyzewski says both players should be back for Tuesday nights game against No. 24 Florida in New York.They certainly didnt need them to rout the struggling Black Bears (2-6).Ilker Er scored all 20 of his points in the first half for Maine.The story of this one was who finally played for Duke, as well as who didnt.Duke has been without three injured five-star freshmen all season, with Tatum out since spraining his foot during an October practice in front of NBA scouts and Bolden sidelined since injuring his leg before the regular season started.Tatum wound up starting and scored his first basket on a banked jumper about 7 minutes in. Bolden was the first man off Dukes bench and his first points came when he stuck back Tatums missed layup with about 7 1/2 minutes until halftime.Tatum played 20 minutes and left after catching a leg cramp in the second half. Bolden logged 12 minutes off the bench and Krzyzewski said he just got tired.I was just happy to be out there -- to rebound, to play defense and to win, Tatum said.BIG PICTUREMaine: As their record might indicate, the Black Bears have some things to sort out, and Cameron Indoor Stadium is a tough place to fix those problems. To their credit, they kept things interesting in the first half while Duke figured out how to play without Allen and Jackson, but they didnt have any answers for Kennard and managed just 23 points in the second half.Everything about them kind of wore us down, coach Bob Walsh said. I thought they took our spirit away in the second half.Duke: Now that two of their injured key players are back, the focus shifts to the two other players who sat this one out. Neither one took part in pregame warmups -- both stood standing next to injured big man Sean Obi on the baseline -- and they were on the bench in their warmup gear throughout.Krzyzewski says Allen has turf toe thats not on the main part, its on the side part and probably needs the extended rest that will come during exam week and over the holidays to approach 100 percent. Duke plays only two games between Dec. 11-30.Krzyzewski said hes just trying to deal with the bottom line that eventually, everybody gets well. ... Just kind of running motion offense here.POLL IMPLICATIONSDuke figures to benefit from a pair of top-five upsets this week -- No. 3 North Carolinas loss at 13th-ranked Indiana, and No. 1 Kentuckys home loss to 11th-ranked UCLA -- and slide up a couple of spots when the new rankings are released Monday.STAT LINEKennard was 11 of 16 from the field, tied a season high with four 3-pointers and was 9 for 9 from the free-throw line.

SEATTLE -- A missing necktie led to Carolina quarterback Cam Newton getting benched for one series on Sunday night.Ron Rivera didnt expect it to last just one play. One disastrous play that created a most awkward of beginnings, and defined the Panthers 40-7 blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks.We didnt lose this game because of a tie, Newton said. It was a lot of execution errors. Including a lot of things where we had our opportunities and we failed at it.The Panthers first offensive play ended up being a pass by Derek Anderson that deflected off Mike Tolberts hands and into the arms of linebacker Mike Morgan, but that play didnt cost Carolina the game. The turnover only led to a field goal for Seattle, but it was the start of an otherwise forgettable performance by the Panthers that provided another blow to the dwindling playoff hopes of the reigning NFC champions.The bigger culprit was the 240 yards rushing allowed by the Panthers defense and Carolinas inability to finish drives in Seattle territory. Thats what turned the seventh meeting in the past five years between the teams into a laugher for the Seahawks.We just didnt give ourselves the chance. Thats the disappointment, Rivera said. We had some opportunities. We missed some plays. Probably the toughest thing is the lack of discipline and being where youre supposed to be.But the flap about the tie and Newtons one-play benching became an overbearing cloud hanging over Carolinas performance.I made the decision not to start him after I learned of the infraction, Rivera said. It was going to be one series. I didnt anticipate the series lasting one play.Newton was punished because he did not have a necktie for the team flight to Seattle.dddddddddddd The Panthers spent the past week in the Bay Area following their game at Oakland and made the trip up the West Coast on Friday.Newton said he realized he hadnt packed a shirt and tie just before the buses left to take the team to their flight.We discussed it internally. Me and coach, were on the same page, I feel good about it, Newton said. I wore a similar outfit like this before and nothing was done. But he has rules in place and we have to abide by them and no person is greater than the next person. It is what it is.Some teammates, though, didnt realize the situation until the Panthers took the field and Anderson was calling the first play. Right tackle Trai Turner, playing the position for the first time since high school, said he didnt know what was going on until the opening play.Coach already addressed it. Im not going to talk any more about it, Anderson said. Its over with, we addressed it as a team and were going to move on from it.Newton missed just one play, but was also just 14-of-32 passing for 182 yards and one touchdown. After pulling within 10-7 in the second quarter, Carolina let Seattle score the final 30 points.Newton agreed he believed he was made an example of with the punishment, but did not express disagreement with Riveras decision.I think there was a lack of communication on my part, Newton said. I think I have to be accountable to know certain things.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL China NFL Jerseys Stitched Jerseys Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys China Jerseys NFL China Jerseys NFL Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic ' ' '
