WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Wake Forests guards did what theyre supposed to do -- make shots, take care of the ball and pass it to teammates who can score. The result: Another lopsided win to open the season.Keyshawn Woods scored 22 points with five of Wake Forests 13 3-pointers in a 94-74 win over Bucknell on Sunday.John Collins added 19 points and Mitchell Wilbekin had 13 to help the Demon Deacons (2-0) sweep a short, season-opening homestand, with this win coming less than 48 hours after a 21-point rout of Radford.Dinos Mitoglou finished with 11 points and Austin Arians had 10 for Wake Forest, which shot 50 percent both from the field and behind the arc, while matching a high for 3-pointers under third-year coach Danny Manning. The Demon Deacons also made 13 in a loss at Virginia Tech last January .Youre not going to shoot 50 percent from the 3-point line on a regular basis, Manning said. Were going to have to make shots throughout the course of the year to have success.Another stat may have thrilled him even more: Wake Forests four guards -- Bryant Crawford, Brandon Childress, Woods and Wilbekin -- combined for 16 assists and no turnovers. Eight of those assists belonged to Crawford.Ill take that every game, Manning said.Zach Thomas scored 16 points and Kimbal Mackenzie finished with 15 for the Bison (1-1), who shot 45 percent and clawed back into the game by turning 15 offensive rebounds into 22 second-chance points.Manning has said this is the best outside shooting team hes had in Winston-Salem, and it was hard to argue against that while the Demon Deacons made seven of their first nine 3-pointers to put Bucknell in an early hole.After the Bison pulled within single digits for the final time early in the second half, Wake Forest hit three more 3s in the span of four possessions -- including a four-point play by Arians -- to build a comfortable lead it wouldnt give back.Every time we made a mistake, and sometimes when we didnt, they made it, Bucknell coach Nathan Davis said.BIG PICTUREBucknell: Though they still havent beaten a team in the Atlantic Coast Conference at the time since 1961, the Bison showed signs that they will be a factor in the Patriot League race with a knack for getting to loose balls and turning them into buckets. But fouls were a problem for the Bison, who had two players pick up their fourth fouls in the first half. Davis said his team showed a lot of character in clawing back from 16 points down and had a chance to make it interesting.Wake Forest: The Demon Deacons took care of business this weekend with those two easy wins to get them prepared for even bigger challenges at the Charleston Classic -- where well surely learn more about what this teams ceiling ultimately is. Defending national champion Villanova likely awaits in a later round.STAT SHEETWake Forest was 23 of 29 from the free-throw line while Bucknell was just 5 of 9.TIP-INSBucknell fell to 11-52 against current ACC members with nine of those wins coming against Pittsburgh -- all before the Panthers joined their new league. ... This was just the seventh time under Manning that Wake Forest reached double figures in 3-pointers.UP NEXTBucknell: The Bison return home to face Robert Morris on Wednesday night before beginning play in the Las Vegas Invitational.Wake Forest: The Demon Deacons head to Charleston, South Carolina, for three games in the Charleston Classic, starting with a matchup with UTEP on Thursday.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap---More AP college basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.orgnike vapormax greece . -- The boos poured down on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots at the end of a horrible first half.

The 26-year-old Ireland striker, who has four goals this season, has signed a three-and-a-half year contract with his new club. Nike Vapormax 2019 Greece . -- If this was Aaron Gordons final home game at Arizona, and it almost certainly was, then he went out in style.ATLANTA -- Braves shortstop Erick Aybar has been traded to the Detroit Tigers, clearing a path for Alanta to call up top prospect Dansby Swanson.Swanson, the No. 1 overall draft pick of 2015, will be in the lineup at shortstop on Wednesday against Minnesota in his major league debut.I think that Dansby is going to be able to handle it mentally, said John Hart, Atlantas president of baseball operations. Hes not a kid that if he comes in and really struggles right out of the gate that its going to affect him. This is a kid that finds a lot of ways to help you win games other than maybe what he does with the bat.Atlanta received infielder Mike Aviles and catcher Kade Scivicque in Tuesdays trade.Swanson, acquired last December in the deal that sent starting pitcher Shelby Miller to Arizona, has split the season between Class A Carolina and Double-A Mississippi. In 127 games in the minors, Swanson is hitting .277 with 10 homers and 66 RBI.Aybar gives the Tigers experience at shortstop as Jose Iglesias recovers from a hamstring injury. Aybar is hitting .242 with two homers and 26 RBI and is making $8.5 million in the final year of his contract.This is something that came together in the last 24 hours, Atlanta general manager John Coppolella said. I think they had some injuries and had a need open. Were trying to get better and younger. We feel this trade does that for us.Atlanta acquired Aybar last November with minor league pitcher Sean Newcomb as part of the trade that sent Gold Glove shortstop Andrelton Simmons to the Los Angeles Angels.Aybar, in his 11th big league season, was in the starting lineup for Tuesdays game against Minnesota but was removed after taking batting practice and replaced by Chase dArnaud.Tigers general manager Al Avila wanted to make the deal because he values Aybars versatility as Detroit tries to stay in the AAL wild-card race.ddddddddddddHes a switch-hitter, Avila said. He can play short. He can play third. He can play second. Really, if we needed him to, in a pinch, if we had to -- and I hope we dont -- we could throw him in the outfield. But right now he gives us an experienced veteran-type player that we feel will give us a little better offense than, lets say Aviles.Aviles, 35, hit .210 with one homer and six RBI in 68 games with the Tigers.Scivicque, 23, hit .282 with six homers and 41 RBI in 105 games for Single-A Lakeland. Before acquiring Scivicque, the Braves had no significant catching prospects in their minor league system.Scivicque was ranked as Detroits No. 20 prospect before the season by MLB.com.Weve said this is probably our biggest area of need, Coppolella said. We dont have young, upper-level catching. Weve been trying to find it. Hes a good player. Hes a fourth-round pick. Hes got off-the-charts makeup, too. We did a lot of work on him. Hes a great makeup guy. Can really lead a staff.Detroit recalled outfielder Steven Moya from Triple-A Toledo to take Aviles spot on the 25-man roster.Coppolella said second baseman Ozzie Albies, the Braves No. 2 prospect, will stay at Mississippi for now, but could be in Atlanta soon.Albies moved from shortstop to second base this year so the Braves could watch him play alongside Swanson. But at 19, Albies is three years younger than Swanson and needs more time in the minors.Well kind of go day by day with him and see how it goes, Coppolella said. Hes got a bright future. It wont be long before hes up here soon, and therell be a lot of good, young players following as well.---Associated Press freelance writer Dave Hogg in Detroit contributed to this report. ' ' '
