West Coast coach Adam Simpson will consider using forward Jack Darling as a mobile ruckman as the Eagles attempt to fill the massive void left by Nic Naitanui.Naitanui will miss up to 12 months of AFL action after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Fridays 25-point win over Hawthorn.Scott Lycett will take over the lead ruck role in Naitanuis absence, but Simpson is yet to decide who to use as back-up.Jonathan Giles, Mitch Brown, and Fraser McInnes all struggled in the back-up role when Naitanui was sidelined with Achilles tendon soreness earlier this year.One curve -ball option available to Simpson is the 191cm Darling, who has pinch-hit through the midfield before and could prove to be a valuable mobile ruckman.Darling has booted 40.17 this year, and moving him away from the forward line would rob West Coast of one of their best attacking threats.His inexperience in the ruck also presents risks.But Simpson says its an option he will consider.His strength would be - what can we get from him around the ground. Thats the appealing part, Simpson told Perth radio station 6PR.But youve also got to think what you lose as a forward.Its very hard to play that forward-ruck position, having never done it for a start.Also giving us something in both areas - its asking a fair bit. But you never know, it could be something we look to do.West Coast need to beat the Crows in Adelaide on Friday night if they are to guarantee themselves a home final.A loss would likely see them slip to seventh - consigning them to an away elimination final.West Coasts belief has soared on the back of wins over premiership fancies GWS and Hawthorn.The triumph over the Hawks was particularly impressive, with West Coasts frenetic pressure and aerial supremacy reminiscent of the way they played during last years run to the grand final.West Coasts form resurgence coincided with Naitanuis return from injury.But Simpson has challenged his team to continue their hot run without Naitanui.Id hate to think we cant do it without him, Simpson said.All our hearts were bleeding for Nic.But weve got a job to do. Our industry doesnt give you much time to reflect, and weve moved on pretty quick.As much as were hurting, Nic wouldnt want it any other way. Hydro Flask 16 Oz Coffee .

AMES, Iowa -- Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said last month that forward Deonte Burtons goal should be to get a double-double every game.Burton got his first one out of the way Monday night, helping the 20th-ranked Cyclones through their first bout of minor adversity this season.Monte Morris scored 18 points, Matt Thomas added 13 and Iowa State beat Mount St. Marys 73-55.Burton had 10 points and 13 rebounds for the Cyclones (2-0), whove won their first two games by an average of 30 points.Hes made such great strides. Im very, very proud of him. But now hes got to continue to push himself to make the next step, Prohm said.Mount St. Marys (0-2) got within 10 early in the second half, but six Cyclones scored during a 15-1 run that put the game out of reach.Iowa State outrebounded Mount St. Marys 50-38, but it also shot an uncharacteristic 4 of 16 from 3-point range.Nick Weiler-Babb scored 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting and pulled down five rebounds for the Cyclones.It was a win. It probably wasnt our best performance offensively. At times defensively also, Morris said.Elijah Long, the brother of Iowa States Naz Mitrou-Long, had 19 points to lead the Mountaineers.BIG PICTUREIowa State: Through two games, its clear the rebuilt Cyclones have a ton of talent -- and theyre much deeper than they were a year ago. But fans wont start to find out if that will translate vs. top competition until next week, when the Iowa State travels to Orlando for a tournament that could include a matchup with No. 14 Gonzaga.Mount St. Marys: Long finally got to play against his brother with roughly 20 family membeers in attendance -- and Elijah helped his team keep it respectable.dddddddddddd The Mountaineers showed some fight too, pushing the Cyclones after falling behind by 17 at halftime.POLL IMPLICATIONSIowa State jumped up four spots on Monday simply by throttling Savannah State on Friday. A few more blowouts and a few more losses by teams ahead of the Cyclones could help Iowa State inch further up the poll.SIMEONS SUSPENSIONIowa State announced before the game that reserve Simeon Carter had been suspended three games for violating team rules. Its yet another setback for the once-promising recruit, who appears to be out of Prohms rotation for the second year in a row.HONORING DEJEAN-JONESIowa State honored former player Bryce Dejean-Jones, who was killed over the summer after a promising rookie season with the New Orleans Pelicans, by wearing warmup shirts with his number. A lot of people that didnt know him probably had their own opinion of him. But me personally, starting with the guy and seeing how he carried himself and preparing for games, it was big time, said Morris, who played with Dejean-Jones in 2014-15.UP NEXTIowa State hosts The Citadel on Sunday, and theres little doubt ball movement will be on the agenda in practice this week. The Cyclones had just 14 assists on 30 baskets.Mount St. Marys continues a brutal stretch of nine road games to start 2016-17 when it plays Minnesota on Wednesday.---More college basketball at www.collegebasketball.ap.org cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
