RALEIGH, N.C. -- Virginia has spent the entire season punishing opponents by locking down on them defensively or forcing them to guard their steady-paced offence until deep in the shot clock. Mistakes add up, the frustration builds and the Cavaliers capitalize -- a withering formula that now has Tony Bennetts club following its Atlantic Coast Conference championship with its deepest NCAA tournament push in two decades. Joe Harris scored 16 points and top-seeded Virginia shot 56 per cent to beat Memphis 78-60 on Sunday night, earning its first trip to the round of 16 since 1995. Anthony Gill added 13 points for the Cavaliers (30-6), who turned in a dominating performance while controlling the tempo and shutting down the eighth-seeded Tigers (24-10) at nearly every turn. "Of course we try to come out and impose our will from the beginning," said sophomore Malcolm Brogdon, one of five Cavaliers in double figures. "But if that doesnt happen and we dont break them right off the bat, were going to keep going and keep playing our type of defence and offence. "And at some point, were going to wear them down and break their back." Virginia led by 15 at halftime and pushed that to 27 points late, picking up right where it left off in its strong finish to Fridays win against Coastal Carolina. Its already been the programs most successful season in decades, from winning the programs first ACC tournament title since 1976 to tying the school single-season record for victories Sunday night. Now Virginia has another milestone: its first regional semifinal appearance since making it to a regional final in 1995. And the Cavaliers, carrying a No. 1 seed for the first time since the days of Ralph Sampson, look ready to go even farther. Next up is a trip to New York to face fourth-seeded Michigan State (28-8) on Friday night in the East Regional semifinals at Madison Square Garden. "To get to the Sweet 16, thats the rarefied air of college basketball, and youre going to have to play," Bennett said. "We know whos waiting, we know how good they are, and it will be us trying to test our game against one of the teams thats playing its best basketball right now." On top of that, its Virginia -- not traditional powers Duke and North Carolina or league newcomer Syracuse -- that stands as the only ACC team still alive in the round of 16. The reasons were all on display against a Memphis team eager to speed up the Cavaliers and score in transition to avoid Virginias stingy set defence. Instead, the Cavaliers checked nearly everything off their to-do list, steadily overpowering the Tigers with confident efficiency. They knocked down open looks. They played tough in the paint to contest Tigers drives. They patiently ran their offence and snatched down every loose rebound when the Tigers missed chances to cut into the deficit. "This is just the way we play," Harris said. "If people are not familiar with watching us, we love to just grind it out. We love the long defensive possessions. We love just making teams work when theyre defending us. Its just kind of what Virginia basketball is all about." There was no sign of the Virginia team that looked out of sorts while falling behind by 10 in the first half against the 16th-seeded Chanticleers. Only the one that put Coastal Carolina away in the final 9 minutes. While Harris led the offensive effort, Virginia also had a 40-28 rebounding advantage while backed by a loud crowd filled with Cavs fans who made the drive one state south for the start of the tournament push. Austin Nichols scored 15 points to lead the Tigers, who shot 41 per cent -- including 3 of 13 from 3-point range -- and scored 17 points fewer than their season average. Leading scorer Joe Jackson, who was averaging 14.3 points, finished with seven on 3-for-6 shooting. "Theyve got to be the best defensive team Ive ever played against in college," Jackson said. "They never lose sight of the basketball, and they just help each other out on every possession. You will never get an easy layup on them." Memphis was looking for its first trip to the round of 16 since 2009, John Caliparis final year as coach before Josh Pastner took over. Senior Geron Johnson promised shortly after the American Athletic Conference tournament that this year would be different and the Tigers would get two NCAA wins. Instead, their season ended on the tournaments opening weekend for the fourth straight year. "Virginia came out, played Virginia basketball: out-toughed us, out-aggressived us," Johnson said. "They made shots. Every time we made a mistake, they capitalized on it with a bucket. Theres no excuses. They beat us fair and square." Phillip Gaines Bills Jersey . Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo!

Ive got to do whatever I can. So you need somebody to run down on punts? Hey, coach, I can do it. You need somebody to run down on kickoffs? Hey, coach I can do it, Bolden said Wednesday.His latest impact came when he crashed into San Diegos Mike Scifres after blocking a punt in the second quarter of New Englands 23-14 win Sunday night. Scifres broke his left clavicle on the play.I just timed it very well. I got off before anybody could even move and it turned out to be perfect, Bolden said. I got up under (the blocker) and the next thing you know, Im standing in front of the punter with his leg in the air. I said, I got to get this ball down.The Patriots took over at the Chargers 25 and scored four plays later on Tom Bradys 14-yard pass to Rob Gronkowski.The Patriots special teams have had several big plays as the team has navigated toward a 10-3 record and the top spot in the AFC.Chandler Jones blocked a field goal attempt against Minnesota and returned it 58 yards for a touchdown, while Bolden forced a fumble on a kickoff return against Cincinnati that was returned for a score. Aganst Detroit, an 81-yard kickoff return set up a touchdown run for LeGarrette Blount.It takes all 11 guys to make special teams work, Bolden said.Ryan Allen, who saw his first punt of the season blocked, on Wednesday was named AFC special teams player of the week.Its field position and all that playss a big part in the game, just like the blocked punt, Bolden said.dddddddddddd Those times when we pin the team inside the 20 or inside the 10-yard line, thats a big momentum shift.Special teamers rarely get the recognition of offensive and defensive players. But Bolden learned the significance of that role when he joined the team in 2012 out of Mississippi and played on special teams with Matthew Slater, Julian Edelman and Danny Woodhead.I had those old guys in my ear, kind of just teaching me along the way, Bolden said, and here I am today.Slater has made three Pro Bowls as a special teams player. And Bolden saw it wasnt the end of the line when Edelman became one of the NFLs top receivers and Woodhead contributed at running back.I was following those guys trails, Bolden said, like, hey, you know what, this is not that bad. I could hang around. I could run around for a few plays not with the ball in my hand.Boldens offensive opportunities have diminished. In 2012, he rushed for 274 yards. Last year, he rushed for 271 yards and caught 21 passes. This season, he has just 41 yards rushing and two receptions.But special teamers make plays that cant be measured in numbers — fighting off two-on-one blocks, forcing fumbles and beating a lineman off the snap to block a punt.In talking with opponents and with teammates who have played elsewhere, Bolden learned that not all special team players are as dedicated as those on the Patriots.Some guys just dont want it as bad on other teams, he said, but here, this group, we want it just as bad as offence and defence.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Warriors Jerseys Authentic Cavaliers Jerseys Cheap Spurs Store Celtics Jerseys Online Cheap Bulls Jerseys Cheap Nets Jerseys Cheap Thunder Jerseys Cheap 76ers Jerseys Cheap Knicks Jerseys Wholesale Raptors Jerseys Cyber Monday Pistons Jerseys Wholesale Team USA Basketball Jerseys Cheap Celtics Jerseys Cheap Nets Jerseys Cheap Knicks Jerseys Cheap 76ers Jerseys Raptors Jerseys From China Cheap Bulls Jerseys Cavaliers Jerseys From China Wholesale Pistons Jerseys Bucks Jerseys From China Pacers Jerseys Outlet Authentic Hawks Jerseys Cheap Hornets Jerseys Cheap Heat Jerseys Cheap Magic Jerseys Authentic Wizards Jerseys Cheap Nuggets Jerseys Timberwolves Jerseys Outlet Wholesale Thunder Jerseys Cheap Blazers Jerseys Cheap Jazz Jerseys Discount Warriors Jerseys Wholesale Clippers Jerseys Wholesale Lakers Jerseys Cheap Suns Jerseys Cheap Kings Jerseys Discount Mavericks Jerseys Authentic Rockets Jerseys Discount Grizzlies Jerseys Cheap Pelicans Jerseys Spurs Jerseys From China ' ' '
