MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota coach Richard Pitino started this season with a rule many college coaches have used before -- no media interviews for freshmen.It didnt take long for Amir Coffey to force Pitino to change his mind.Coffey scored 30 points on just 14 shots to lead Minnesota to a 92-86 over St. Johns on Friday night.When you play like that, youve got to change that rule, Pitino said, later adding that it was as impressive a freshman performance as Ive seen.Dupree McBrayer had 18 points, five rebounds and five assists, and Nate Mason added 13 points, seven assists and five rebounds for the Golden Gophers (4-0), who only turned the ball over six times.Marcus LoVett scored 31 points on 11-for-27 shooting and Shamorie Ponds had 23 points and eight rebounds for St. Johns (2-1). The Red Storm led by 13 points midway through the first half, but shot just 37 percent to let the lead slip away.We didnt get the quality shots I would like, St. Johns coach Chris Mullin said after his team had just nine assists on 29 field goals. When you get down, guys start trying to do it themselves. I would like more ball movement with some high pick and rolls, which was working.Coffey made 9 of 14 shots and was 11 for 12 on free throws.Just trying to find myself. Its a new system, new offense, new teammates, said Coffey, the son of former Minnesota standout Richard Coffey and a star at Twin Cities prep power Hopkins. Just getting comfortable playing with these guys.St. Johns blitzed the Gophers out of the gates, leading 22-9 eight minutes into the game. But Coffey keyed the Gophers response, a 32-9 finish to the half that helped them take control.I thought we helped him a little bit. We got him going, Mullin said. But hes got nice length. Hes got a nice touch. He killed us.Bashir Ahmed added 15 points and 10 rebounds for St. Johns, which pulled within three points in the second half but couldnt get closer.BIG PICTURESt. Johns: Its back to the drawing board after falling flat in its first real test of the season. The Red Storm cruised to victories in their first two games against Bethune-Cookman and Binghamton by a combined 63 points. It only gets tougher from here for a team that went 8-24 in Chris Mullins first season last year, including 1-17 in the Big East.Minnesota: The momentum continues for a program badly in need of it. After going a disastrous 2-16 in Big Ten play last year, the Gophers are struggling to put fans in the seats at once-raucous Williams Arena in Richard Pitinos fourth season. Those who did show up on Friday night saw an entertaining and fast-paced brand of basketball with local standout Coffey trying to inspire the masses to return to the Barn.LYNCHS BULKReggie Lynch grabbed 11 rebounds and blocked nine shots for Minnesota. Seven of those swats came in the first half as the Gophers climbed back into the game. Its been a long road back for Lynch, who sat out last season after transferring and endured a knee injury that kept him from playing for most of the summer.Hes a game-changer for us in the back of the defense, Pitino said.TOUCHING MOMENTAs the crowd stood for the Star Spangled Banner, the singers microphone appeared to malfunction. So she just kept right on singing and the entire crowd joined in.UP NEXTSt. Johns stays in the Big Ten with its next opponent, facing Michigan State on Wednesday in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in the Bahamas. The Gophers host another opponent with name recognition when Arkansas comes to town on Tuesday.---More AP college basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.orgAstros Jerseys 2020 .

The Brazilian goalkeeper signed a loan deal with the Major League Soccer club on Friday as he looks to get playing time ahead of this summers World Cup in his home country.Adelaide will give two of their brightest prospects a chance to impress in their AFL clash with struggling Brisbane.The Crows have named debutant Reilly OBrien to replace injured ruckman Sam Jacobs on Saturday, while powerful midfielder Cam Ellis-Yolmen will line up for the first time this season in place of rested veteran Scott Thompson.Its the first time fifth-placed Adelaide have added new blood to their side since they included defender Ricky Henderson in their round seven loss to the Western Bulldogs.The Crows have opted to rotate through the same group of 27 players, which are the fewest used by any side in the 2016 competition and a far cry from the likes of injury-ravaged Gold Coast (39).For players such as Ellis-Yolmen, who played 11 games in 2015, the Crows hot form and good run with injuries has proved a major obstacle to senior selection.Adelaide assistant coach James Podsiadly says the 23-year-olds inclusion against Brisbane presents him with an opportunity to be considered for the finals.From the match committees perspective, weve been looking at him all year, Podsiadly said on Friday.Hes shown some resilience to wait until rouund 20 to get his first game.ddddddddddddYou can say hes a bit unlucky, but at the same time weve had some good guys in some good form.We wouldnt pick him if we didnt think he could have an impact in finals.Breaking into the side has proven even tougher for OBrien.First-choice ruckman Jacobs had notched up 93 consecutive games - the second-longest streak in the AFL - before being ruled out for the Brisbane game with a sprained ankle.OBrien will go head-to-head with another rookie in second-gamer Archie Smith, who accumulated 30 hitouts and 19 touches in his debut against Port Adelaide last week.Crows captain Taylor Walker, who was sidelined for a week with an ankle injury, has also been added for the Saturday night clash at Adelaide Oval.He replaces rookie forward Mitch McGovern, who will be managed after playing every game this season.With just two wins to their name this season, Brisbane could be in for more pain after conceding the highest score of the year in their 25.23 (173) to 11.13 (79) loss to the Power.
