They have turned the ball over five times and had 19 penalties for 197 yards

AMES, Iowa -- It was hardly a coincidence that Iowa State senior point guard Monte Morris had one his most complete games Sunday.Morris notched the fifth triple-double in school history and No. 20 Iowa State throttled The Citadel 130-63, setting a program record for points in a game.Morris had 17 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and zero turnovers for Iowa State (3-0), which shot 60.5 percent from the floor. The Cyclones held the Bulldogs (2-2) -- who entered play averaging a national-best 112.2 points a game -- to just 22 in the first half.Iowa State raced ahead 18-3 and pushed its lead to 32 after just 14 minutes. Iowa State cracked 100 with 11 minutes left, and coach Steve Prohm was able to pull Morris from the game with 7:46 left to a standing ovation.I think it started on the defensive end, and my guys made shots. I just got the ball to them, said Morris, who grabbed all 10 of his rebounds on defense.Naz Mitrou-Long tied a career-high with 26 points and Matt Thomas had 18 for the Cyclones, who are beating their opponents by an average of 42 points.Iowa States previous record for points in a game came in 1978, when it beat Northeastern Illinois 129-69.No disrespect to the past three teams weve played, but we definitely felt very confident in winning those three, Mitrou-Long said.Quayson Williams had 15 for the Bulldogs, who were outscored in the paint 78-12.BIG PICTUREIowa State: The Cyclones looked a bit discombobulated at times offensively in a 73-55 win over Mount St. Marys on Monday. But The Citadels looser approach to defense allowed Iowa State to regain its rhythm in record-setting fashion. Seven different Cyclones had an assist in the first half, and Thomas drilled his first four 3s in a game that was never in doubt for a Top 25 team. I thought this was our most complete game on both ends of the floor, Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said.The Citadel: The Bulldogs ran into a team that plays like they do -- as fast as possible -- but has more talent. The Citadel was picked to finish last in the Southern Conference for a reason.POLL IMPLICATIONSIowa State might get a boost simply by taking care of the teams it was supposed to take care of. The real tests will start to come next week, with possible opponents such as Miami, Stanford and Gonzaga.THE NUMBERSIowa State out-rebounded the Bulldogs 63-33 and had 31 assists on 52 baskets. ...Eight different Cyclones scored in double digits.

Jeremy Walker Jersey . -- Al Jefferson found a groove just in time for the Charlotte Bobcats. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Ben McAdoo isnt much of a numbers guy.The New York Giants rookie coach knows that statistics can be misleading. Take a look at New Yorks scoring.They are ranked 27th in the NFL, averaging just over 18 points.Its not good, and certainly well below what one would expect from a team that is entering its third season in the West Coast offense and has Eli Manning throwing to Odell Beckham Jr., Sterling Shepard and Victor Cruz.McAdoo is expecting more, and soon. He knows the problems. The Giants are gaining yards, but hurting themselves with penalties and turnovers.I think we are ready to break out, McAdoo said Wednesday after the Giants (2-2) practiced for Sunday nights game against the Green Bay Packers (2-1).When asked if he was referring to points, McAdoo said the breakout was going to come in every way, shape and form.We are ready to breakout. We are due, he said, adding he has confidence in his offense.Manning felt the Giants did some good things against a good defense in their 24-10 loss to the Vikings on Monday night.We are close, the two-time Super Bowl MVP said. I dont think we have to go and just change up everything. A lot of guys are doing a lot of good things. We have to connect on a few more plays here and there and well be in good shape.The Giants are sixth in the league in total yards, averaging 382.3 yards.In their two-game losing streak, the Giants have hurt themselves. They have turned the ball over five times and had 19 penalties for 197 yards. They are also 9 for 28 on third down, roughly 32 percent. The defense also has failed to record a takeaway.We have all the pieces, said halfback Orleans Darkwa, who has taken over as the starter with Rashad Jennings sidelined and Shane Vereen (triceps) out for the season. We just havee to put it all together.dddddddddddde have had good weeks of practice. I feel we are there. We are chomping at the bit. You see the offense. You see the receivers we have and the weapons we have, on the line and in the backfield. Its just a matter of time.Left guard Justin Pugh also feels good about the offense, noting the mistakes have hurt more than anything.You cant keep saying if this would not have happened or that would not have happened, and this would have gone differently, he said. Its not helping us saying stuff like that. We have to go out there and execute. We have to do it, and stop saying were going to do it.Defensive end Olivier Vernon believes the Giants have time to change things.We have 12 games left if I am not mistaken, and we have time to make our adjustments and play better ball overall as a team, and I think everyone realizes that, he said.Game notes CB Eli Apple (hamstring), S Nat Berhe (concussion), tight end Larry Donnell (concussion), T Marshall Newhouse (calf), and S Darian Thompson (foot) did not practice. Jennings (thumb), CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (groin) and DT Robert Thomas (illness) were limited on Wednesday. ... Pugh said the only distraction he feels relating to Beckham is constantly being asked questions about the receivers behavior. I want to go out and play and I know he wants to go out and play, answering questions about it every week is not going to change how I feel about it. Every week, I want to go to work. He wants to go to work. End of story. I am not going to answer any more questions about Odell because it is pointless.---Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
