CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Wake Forest coach Danny Manning is ready to face No. 3 Villanova, even if hes fairly certain his Demon Deacons wont have a similar offensive outburst as they did to run past UTEP.John Collins scored a career-high 24 points and Bryant Crawford had 20 in Wake Forests 103-81 victory, the first time in eight years it surpassed the century mark in a game.Shots fell early and often as the Demon Deacons, 3-0 for the first time since 2013-14, took a double-digit lead early and were rarely pressed by UTEP (1-1). Next up, though, are the national champion Wildcats with a spot in the Charleston finals on the line.Were excited, Manning said. Its the chance to play, rightfully so, one of the teams that higher ranked in the country.And one that will do its best to ensure Wake Forest doesnt shoot almost 60 percent from the field as it did against UTEP (35 of 59, 59.3 percent).Its going to be a challenge, but its something we welcome, Manning said. Well see where were at.Wake Forest put things away with a torrid first half where it went 13 of 20 from behind the arc. Dinos Mitgolou had four 3-pointers while Austin Arians, Mitchell Wilbekin, Crawford and Keyshawn Woods each had two the first 20 minutes.I dont think we were close (defensively) on any of those shots, said UTEPs frustrated coach, Tim Floyd.UTEP (1-1) plays Western Michigan, which fell to Villanova in the eight-team tournaments first game, on Friday in the consolation round.The Demon Deacons led 63-44 lead at the break, the first time they had reached 60 points or more in half since the 2008-09 season when it accomplished that against UNC Wilmington. That was also the last game they finished with 100 points or more, defeating the Seahawks 120-88.Wake Forest couldnt quite get that many, but did more than enough to move past UTEP.Collins, at 6-foot-10, made nine of 10 shots -- all in the second half -- including several jams to break his previous high of 19 set last November against Bucknell.Mitgolou finished with 18 points and Keyshawn Woods 16 for Wake Forest. Dominic Artis led UTEP with 24 points.BIG PICTUREWake Forest wants to run and did so at will against the Miners. Things will get considerably tougher against Villanova, the national champions known for its in-your-face defense.UTEP had few answers to slow down the Deacons. Artis did his share, hitting three 3-pointers. The team, though was 5 of 14 from behind the arc with many of the misses triggering the Wake Forest transition game.CHANGING GEARSManning like his teams outside touch early on. But at halftime, he stressed to his players about looking for the Deacons big men, Collins and Mitgolou down low and give them touches. The result was Collins big performance, something the team will look to duplicate against Villanova. Its going to tell us where we are and what we need to do, Crawford said.LACKING DEFENSEUTEP coach Tim Floyd had nothing good to say about his teams defense. He said his team did not rebound well or slow Wake Forests transition game. Evidence? We shot 60 percent (18 of 30) in the first half were down 19, Floyd said.UP NEXTWake Forest will face No. 3 Villanova on Friday with the winner advancing to Sunday nights championship game.UTEP will take on Western Michigan on Friday in the consolation round.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25Andy Isabella Cardinals Jersey .

At a news conference Tuesday where it was thought that the fiery Schallibaum may be shown the door after a dismal finish to the Major League Soccer season, team president Joey Saputo said no decision has been made on whether the Swiss Volcano will be back in 2014.The Arizona Coyotes havent been to the playoffs in four straight seasons and their prospects of ending that streak dont appear promising as points appear hard to come by.A safe bet is that they circle every date on the schedule against the Edmonton Oilers.The Coyotes try to record a point in their 25th straight game against the Oilers when the teams meet for the first time at Rogers Place on Sunday afternoon in the back end of a home-and-home series.Arizona (7-10-2) is 14th -- and last -- in the Western Conference with 16 points, and its defense was lit up for 39 goals while going 2-6-2 on the road.But since dropping a 4-3 decision in regulation on Jan. 25, 2011, the Coyotes are 20-0-4 against the Oilers. Arizonas point streak is the longest by one team against a single opponent since the Oilers 24-game run against the Vancouver Canucks from 1985-88.We have to outwork them, Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson said. I think thats why weve been successful against them.Arizona continued the streak with a 3-2 shootout victory Friday. Longtime captain Shane Doan tied the score midway through the third period and Radim Vrbata and Ekman-Larsson scored in the tiebreaker.Oilers coach Todd McLellan praised Arizona for its approach to games.I dont know if a team ever has another teams number because every event is its own entity, but the Coyotes wait for teams to make mistakes and they capitalize, McLellan told the Edmonton Journal.Oilers captain Connor McDavid recorded his first NHL hat trick earlier this month to start a scoring tear. With a goal against the Coyotes on Friday, McDavid has five goals and four assists in a four-game points streak, and leads the league with 28 points (10 goals, 18 assists).However, only 11 of those points (three goals, eight assists) have come at home. McDavid has failed to score a goal in five straight games in Edmonton, yet has six assists over that span.WWe need to get two (points) against divisional teams, said McDavid, whose team is 3-2-1 against Pacific foes this season.dddddddddddd.McDavid is not the only Oiler to show up repeatedly in recent boxscores. Over the last four games, Leon Draisaitl (three goals, three assists) and Milan Lucic (one goal, five assists) each have six points, while Jordan Eberle (two goals, two assists), Oscar Klefbom (two goals, two assists) and rookie Jesse Puljujarvi (four assists) each have four points.The Oilers need their offense to come through. Edmonton (12-8-2) is 5-4-0 at home, but 0-4-0 when scoring fewer than three goals per game.The Oilers tweeted Saturday that Cam Talbot will start in goal. Talbot is 11-7-2 with a 2.47 goals-against average, a .921 save percentage and three shutouts. Hes given up nine goals while going 0-2-1 over his last three starts versus Arizona.Doans goal Friday was only his second of the season and pushed him closer to a milestone. Now in his 21st season -- all with the Coyotes franchise dating back their final campaign in Winnipeg -- Doan needs two goals to become the 93rd player in NHL history to reach 400.Doan has nine goals in 37 career games in Edmonton, but none in his last six visits. Hes also posted two multi-goal games, the last coming in 2010.Mike Smith is 3-1-1 with a 2.96 GAA and .911 save percentage after Fridays win over the Oilers in which he denied McDavid and Eberle in the tiebreaker.Playing at Rexall Place, the Oilers former longtime home, Smith was 7-0-1 with a 1.93 GAA and .942 save percentage in nine games. His only shutout in northern Alberta came on March 12, when he turned aside 44 shots in the Coyotes 4-0 win.Now we have to go in there and play even better to win in Edmonton, Ekman-Larsson told the Arizona Republic.
